Yeah, but that was before the Soviets turned the game
into a science. The theoretical knowledge that was
available to Lasker or Nimzovitch was probably
inferior to that possessed by an average FIDE master
today. (Or an average chess program.)
As for Alekhine's professional discipline, it is said
that he used to defeat a bottle of vine at breakfast.
(Something I could sympathize with.)
