Feb-01-08  whiteshark: Playing Alekhine three time in 23 years. Maybe a record ? At least for a Spaniard.

Fernandez Juan Rua wrote the chessbook, <La edad de oro del ajedrez (Hasta fines del siglo XIX)>

From an chessbase article:

quote
In July 1944 Alekhine wrote to <the journalist and chessplayer <Juan Fernandez Rua>>: "The best part of my life has passed away between two world wars that have laid Europe waste. Both wars ruined me, with this difference: at the end of the first war I was 26 years of age, with an unbounded enthusiasm I no longer have. If, sometime, I write my memoirs – which is very possible – people will realize that chess has been a minor factor in my life. It gave me the opportunity to further an ambition and at the same time convince me of the futility of the ambition. Today, I continue to play chess because it occupies my mind and keeps me from brooding and remembering." unquote
