{Alekhine's first known game was from a correspondence tournament that began
on December 3, 1902, when he was 10 years old. He recorded his first games in
a notebook. By 1902 he was playing correspondence chess sponsored by
Shakhmatnoe Obozrenie chess magazine. At the time, it was Russia's only chess
magazine. The name of A A Alekhine appeared in the 6th (1902-1903), 7th
(1903-1904), 9th (this may have been Alexei Alekhine), 10th, 13th, 16th
(1905-1906), 17th (1909-1910), and 18th (1910-1911), correspondence chess
tournaments of the magazine. In the 6th Correspondence Tournament
(1902-1903), Alekhine took 6th place. He won 9 games, drew 1 game, and lost 8
games. In the 7th Correspondence Tournament (1903-1904), Alekhine took last
place, with 2 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses. Hooper and Whyld say that
Alexander became addicted to chess about age 11, playing in his head during
lessons, and by the light of a candle when in bed. Garry Kasparov tells the
story that once in an algebra test, Alekhine suddenly leaped up with shining
eyes. The teacher asked if Alekhine had solved the problem. Alekhine responded,
"Yes, I sacrifice the knight, and White wins!" The class burst our laughing.
At the age of 12, Alekhine could analyze his games blindfolded without sight
of board. He analyzed his games in his head during school hours. Alekhine
won the 16th Correspondence Gambit Tournament of the chess magazine
Shakhmatnoe Obozrenie, which took place during 1905-1906. Alekhine considered
this his first serious tournament. He won 10, drew 3, and lost 1 game.} 1. e4
