Talk:Alexei Alekhine

Cleanup
Needs major work. Some sentences ("He remained in the Soviet Union..." and "Finally, the NKVD killed him" come out of nowhere - nothing leading up to them. Small numbers and ordinals need to be spelled out per Manual of Style, (e.e. 2nd). "UKR-ch" needs to be spelled out/explained.  Bubba73 (talk), 01:58, 25 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Not an editor myself, but it seems to me that the image is Alexander playing Capablanca in Argentina. The text has Alexis in Poltava that year and mentions no foreign travel. Capablanca is not reported in the USSR in 1927. 74.75.109.19 (talk) 14:56, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Rating
Alexei Alekhine is a minor figure in chess history, famous mainly for having been the brother of World Champion Alexander Alekhine. He never won a Soviet Championship or had any other outstanding tournament or match result. He appears to have been a less significant figure in Soviet chess history than (for example) Ilya Rabinovich, Boris Verlinsky, and Fedor Bogatyrchuk (all winners of the USSR Chess Championship), or Alexander Ilyin-Genevsky, who played in major international tournaments and beat the likes of Capablanca and Botvinnik. The articles for all of those players are all rated as Low-Importance. The articles on later USSR championship winners or co-winners Vladimir Savon, Viktor Gavrikov, and Vitaly Tseshkovsky are also rated as Low-Importance. The classification of the present article as Mid-Importance therefore does not appear to be justified. I have accordingly re-rated it as Low-Importance. Krakatoa (talk) 23:10, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Agree. Not sure how that Mid-importance rating came about, but given I did it I'm more thne happy that it's now a low. SunCreator (talk) 23:18, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
