Hello all:

I have seen (and alas, I do not recall where) the statement, "I
dominate them all!", attributed to Alekhine. Does an actual citation
that can be trusted exist? If so, where, when, and in what context did
the champion make this remark?

Regards,

Here's one reference. I don't know what their source was.

I first read of Alekhine's "I dominate them all!" on page 189 of
Fred Reinfeld's "The Human Side of Chess" (1952). Reinfeld gives no
source, nor even any indication of where or when it was said, except
the vague implication that was some time after 1937.
A date of 1940, as given in the above link, seems plausible, though
that is a year about which less is known than most others in
Alekhine's life. Skinner & Verhoeven's 807-page tome "Alexander
Alekhine's Chess Games, 1902-1946" devotes relatively little space,
just pages 651-656, to that year. I find no mention of the
"domination" statement in that section.
If I ever do find the source, I'll post it here.
