According to a certain anecdote, in the 19th century, a station attendant, who was also a passionate chess player, surprisingly realized that it was easier to win without a queen than with one. What happened a few days before that?
Maybe he was traveling on a train with Alekhine. I once read that Alekhine once played a prank and, while playing chess with some stranger on a train, would first "sacrifice" his queen and then checkmate him.
Всё не так плохо как Вы думаете. Всё намного хуже!
