it was all the same to me whether Black or White won, it was Alekhine or Bogoljubov who was battling for the laurels of the champion, and I as a person, my intellect, my spirit took part solely as an observer, as a connoisseur of the peripeteias and the beauties of each game.
beltzek edo zuriek irabazten zuten, bost axola niri, Aliekhin edo Bogoliubov ari ziren txapela jokatzen, eta nire pertsonak, nire adimenak, nire arimak behatzaile aditu gisara gozatzen zuten partiden gorabeherez eta edertasunaz.
