While planning for a World Championship match against Botvinnik,[63] Alekhine died aged 53 in his hotel room in Estoril, Portugal, on March 24, 1946. The circumstances of his death are still a matter of debate. It is usually attributed to a heart attack, but a letter in Chess Life magazine from a witness to the autopsy stated that choking on meat was the actual cause of death. At autopsy, a three-inch-long piece of unchewed meat was discovered blocking his windpipe.

alekhine he was so good they made batteries after him
We can't compare 2 Giants of different eras like that. If you want to compare Fabi and Carlsen, or Karpov and Kasparov, sure, but people of 2 different generations cannot be compared.
I am.
I agree with Tal.
Tal ofc his attacking and radical ideas were absolutely out of this world but people also forget how he knew how to win from any phase of the chess game. Alekhine was also a phenomenal player in his own right but Tal is on another level. RIP two great chess legends!
