I followed him inside the cafe, he sought an opponent, which I had no interest in knowing who he was, and it was funny, he won the applause did not want to end.

You must come every day - I said - can not go far in chess with just wanting it. That quarrel and other matter to come home 4 hours later! My decision was made, was old enough and decided to devote myself to my beloved chess.

remember having read a copy of British Chess Magazine, after his senseless death beneath the rubble by German bombs dropped on London, which read: The death of Miss Vera Menchik eliminates not only the greatest woman playing chess of all time, but a charming personality. He also said something after the game as it was characterized by the strong position game, with the clear aim of achieving a favorable outcome of the game and avoid complications, but added that he lacked imagination, inventiveness and the prejudice that women in chess is boring or uninteresting. Uncertain sexist comments.
