• When Alekhine recognizes the weakness in his position he has a tendency to become very aggressive. Patient defence is not for him if he can see the slightest chance of creating an attack. Yet sound strategy often demands that you submit to the opponent's will so as to strengthen your weaknesses and get rid of defects in your game.

• Fui ajedrecista profesional en Rumanía, pero sólo un pequeño maestro. Cuando llegué a Francia, seguí jugando al ajedrez durante muchos años: Jugué torneos en numerosos países con resultados desiguales. Escribí y publiqué un libro, La Défense Alekhine, y traduje otros dos del ruso. Enseñé ajedrez en escuelas; gané más dinero con el ajedrez que con la literatura.

It's been said that Alekhine and I played similar chess, except that he studied more. Yes, perhaps, but I have to say that he played, too.
