Feb-07-20 Alexander Alekhine
| |
| BUNA: < OrangeTulip: My bet is that Alekhine’ death was orchestrated by Stalin because of his friendship with Nazi butchers as Frank. The Sovjest-Union has some track record with these kind of finishing business.> You could have at least read cg.com's bio of Alekhine:

| BUNA: Now Nepo doesn't even have to win the final to get the second GP spot for the Candidates. If he wins one more classical game (and still loses the final) he'll have as many GP points as MVL (16 points) but will have the better first tiebreak, as he won one of the Grand Prix events. |
