"The Inactive Irresponsibility". |

| Feb-01-13 | | thomastonk: <NM JRousselle: Something must be wrong with the score of this game.> The score of this game is consistent with Alekhine's tournament book. I agree that 46.. f3? is a big mistake, which should lose half a point. Alekhine wrote "Oder, noch einfacher, 46.... Ta2:b2+." (Or, more simply 46..  xb2+.) Another winning move would have been 46..  g7, of course.Alekhine did not report that this game had been adjourned, which could explain the result. But I have found two newspaper reports on the 12th round. One states that only two other games were adjourned, but the other one states that Johner has the advantage against Mueller (and similar statements for the other two unfinished games), and in the evening issue of that newspaper only the three missing results are reportet. So, one possible explanation of all this could be (this is speculation nevertheless): the game had been adjourned and Mueller resigned without looking at the sealed move. |

Ta2:b2+." if an 46.-,f3 had given the win away.
It would be nonsense. "even simpler" means "an easier win". Not "winning, instead of only drawing". Adjourning the game in that position? And black sealing the rock-bottom stupid move 46.-,f3??, instead of the childishly simple 46.-,Rxb2+ Forget it. The score is simply wrong somewhere. |
