I believe Alekhines "creative" work ethic is unique in chess. He
developed not only a theory but also applied the theory to great effect.

To what "theory" do you refer, Rob? And I would agree that Alekhine's
chess work ethic was exemplary, but it was hardly unique.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

He had very pronounced theories about lines of development especially
as related in countering other opponents lines of play. TK or Phil
Innes or Jerzy or Wlod are much better equiped to answer on the
specifics.

His work ethic was unique in the total consumation. Others since have
mimiced this but none have combined both the work ethic and creative
genius as he did.
