(An old chess joke about two rivals, Alekhine and Bogolubov, as told by Alekhine.)<br>
<br>
I had a dream last night that I had died and gone to Heaven. When I arrived at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter would not allow me to enter!<br>
<br>
I asked him why I was not allowed to enter. St Peter replied, " Chess players are not allowed in Heaven".<br>
<br>
"But", I said, "I see Bogolubov in there!" . St Peter replied, " Ah! But Bugolubov only THINKS he can play chess!" <p></p><i></i>
