Jan-19-12  brankat: A fine play by Dr.Perlis!
Jan-19-16  cunctatorg: I had never noticed this enhanced configuration of the Nimzowitsch's concept of the "absolute seventh" rank, the (lethal) addition of the Bishop behind his very King; white has Ke6, Be5 and Ra7; black has Kg8, Rf2 and let's forget the black's Bishop and the rest...

White plays 47. Rg7 and Black replies 47... Kf8 (if 47... Kh8 48. Rf7 and 49. Rxf2; note that in the actual game it would go 47... Kh8 48.Rf7 Kh8 49. Rxf2 a2 50. Rxb2! a1-Q 51. Rb8 Kh7 52. Rh8#), then 48. Rh7 (threatenig mate with Rh8) Ke8 49. Ra7 (49. Rh8?? Rf8) and now we have the enhanced version of the "absolute seventh"; 49... Kd(f)8 50. Ra8# because the white Bishop refuses to black King access to the escape squares c(g)7.

A fine completion though I was unable -of course- to completely understand the rest of the game!

Sep-11-18  WorstPlayerEver: Perlis Stockfish

Does not miss a move in this game. On move 47 White mate-in-10. On move 48 mate-in-4 not a problem. There are a few moves which Stockfish Blitz gives as alternative, but I doubt they are better. 39. Rd8+; 42. Kd5; both equally strong. But 44. Kd5, as played, is definitely stronger than 44. Bf4 (SF 6 secs).

Running through the games of a young Alekhine one thing becomes clear: he learned it the hard way.
