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.

To be here, all you have to do is let go of who you think you are. That's all! And then you realize, "I'm here. " Here is where thoughts aren't believed. Every time you come here, you are nothing.
