Alekhine developed as a player much more slowly than most. In his twenties, he was an atrocious chessplayer, and didn't mature until he was well into his thirties.

Americans really don't know much about chess. But I think when I beat Spassky, that Americans will take a greater interest in chess. Americans like winners.

I don't like American girls. They're very conceited, you know. In Europe they're more pleasant.

Chess demands total concentration

I don't believe in psychology. I believe in good moves

Your body has to be in top condition. Your Chess deteriorates as your body does. You can't separate body from mind

If you have seen one Alekhine game you've seen them all.
