1) I
hadn't heard before about any cancer in Tal. Know any details or
source?
2) Alekhine:
watch for a current Evans col. GM Spraggett, who lives in
Portugal, on his web site in1999 stated that Dr. Lupi privately
disclosed it wasn't a piece of meat, but a gunshot. No details
given.

Dear Mr. Saidy,
Our source for Mikhail Tal cause of death was from Bill's Wall
website: (http://www.geocities.com/siliconvalley/lab/7378/death.htm)
We went searching through the web and found that he died of
kidney failure in Moscow. Our page was already updated with the
correct information.
Also, we read Mr. Spraggett article about Alekhine's death and
we found it very interesting. The original cause of death will
not be changed in our site but we are publishing GM Spraggett's
complete article:
The World Champion who died under the
most mysterious circumstances:
Alexander Alekhine!
Alekhine died in
Portugal (just outside Lisbon) in 1946. The 'official' account
is that he choked on a piece of meat (while sitting down in a
big arm chair) and studying Chess. There is even a photo of
this, sure enough we can see Alekhine laying limp in the
armchair, with all of the pieces still upright on the board:

What is wrong with the official story? (I mean, apart from the
fact that if a 'normal' person was sitting down and
choking he would get up and become quite frantic, possibly even
overturning the board and pieces in the process...!?)
The doctor who wrote the official death certificate (Dr. Antonio
Ferreira, just by chance an avid chess player himself)
later told friends that Alekhine's body was found on the street,
in front of his hotel room! He had been shot! He said
that government pressure had forced him to complete the death
certificate as it now exists (Portugal was neutral
during the Second World War, and might have wanted to avoid any
controversy).
According to well placed sources (including Spassky, who is
married to a French woman who worked in the diplomatic
services ) the French Resistance created a super secret 'Death
Squad' after the second world war to 'deal' appropriately
with those people on a black list who had collaborated too
willingly with the German Nazi's, once France was over run
by Germany. Apparently the list was not less than 200,000 names!
Correspondence of Alekhine, shortly before his untimely demise,
mentioned that he felt he was being followed!
Alexander Alekhine's initials were AA, so that would put him at
the top of any list!
Alekhine died within a day or two of the British Chess
Federation voting to hold the Botvinnik-Alekhine match...so, if
there was an assassin then he had to move quickly since Alekhine
was about to go to England!
The French government, even to this day, denies the existence of
any such 'black list'!
(Of course, they also deny that any massacre of Algerians in
Paris! The many bodies that were found floating in the
river were described as 'swimming' accidents or 'suicides'...)
The truth is out there!!
