   Chess historian par excellence [1]Edward Winter has written occasional
   articles for [2]ChessBase asking readers for help with various
   historical mysteries, but his latest piece reverses things - here he
   is informing us. [3]This first installment of his Chess Explorations
   addresses a number of persistent myths, such as Max Euwe's allegedly
   chivalrous decision to grant Alexander Alekhine after defeating him
   for the title, as well as the mistaken labeling of the 1909
   Lasker-Janowski match as a world championship event. If you're
   interested in our game's past and want to get your facts right, he's
   the man to read.
