gifted if erratic Aleksandr Aleksandrovich
Alekhin
Alekhine, though one of the greatest chess players, was
an egomaniacal paranoid alcoholic. In addition his playing does not show the
beautiful, balanced echoing attributed to Luzhin, whereas Rubinstein's does.
Likewise with Morphy, a brilliant (19th century) combinational player but
not a positional (Apollonian) player like Luzhin. Bardeleben, on the other
hand, seems with Rubinstein, to fit into the mosaic.
