  MissScarlett: Is it definite that he was Alekhine's opponent in 1928?

  MissScarlett: The bio says he was born in Auckland, but this post (Alekhine vs A Fletcher, 1928 (kibitz #109)) seems to claim he emigrated from Britain. One can't rule out the possibility that he moved from New Zealand to Britain and back again.
Dec-27-20  AndroclesNZ: I can confirm Alan Fletcher (my grandfather) was born in NZ, and in fact never went to Britain...so I’m afraid it wasn’t him that played Alekhine - it appears someone made the error at some point, and it’s been propagated into various websites and even books! I was so excited when I came across it on the internet, only to have my mother tell me her father didn’t even take up chess until his mid-20s, well after 1928 :-(
