In 1909 at the age of sixteen Dr Alekhin won first prize in a St Petersburg tourney Speaking about the world’s outstanding masters he said that Cap-ablanca was the most difficult to beat but Bogoljubow’s play was more dangerous as he was more enterprising his match with Dr Euwe in 1926 he considered too short that the Dr Euwe of 1926 is not the same as Dr Euwe of 1934 the latter's chess at present being very deep and giving great promise for the future the chess master who had the greatest influence on his play was Steinitz Philldor he considers a great pioneer Morphy a great practical chess genius and Anderssen the greatest combinative player The best news however was the confirmation of the match between Bogaljubow and Alekin for the world’s championship scheduled to begin in April The state of Baden has guaranteed the match and the games will be divided between Munich Baden-Baden and Nuremburg.
