 | | acirce: The line after 28. b3 is pretty (instead of taking the knight directly): 28...Ra5 29. cxd3 cxd3 30. Kc1 Bc3 31. Kd1 Ra1+ 32. Be1 Re1+ 33. Rxe1 Rxc1+ 34. Kxc1 d2+ 35. Kc2 dxe1N+! (queening doesn't win). |

 | | Chessical: <Calli> Your move <31.Qe4!!> seems to stop Alekhine's attack in its tracks: <31.Qe4> Rb1+ (31...Bc3 32.Qxd3 Bf6 33.Re1 Rd8 34.Qxd8+ Bxd8 35.Bc1! looks pretty desperate) 32.Kd2 Rb2+ 33.Kd1= (33.Kxd3?? Rc3#) Alekhine was very bullish about this game, stating that the sacrifice was sound "despite the opinion of all the critics who annotated the game at the time". |

 | | Calli: Sound? Well, yes, I find AA's combos are sound. His opponent really doesn't have a way to win. However, many of the games are not forced wins for Alekhine either. In this game, the question arises as whether AA simply missed Qe4 as a defense or slyly omitted it from his annotations for fear of damaging the game's reputation. No way of knowing, I guess. |

| Mar-20-05 | | offramp: Dr Nunn pointed out this brilliant line:
28.b3  a5! 29.cxd3 cxd3 30. c1  c3 31.d1 a1+ 32.c1 e1+! 33.xe1 xc1+ 34.xc1 d2+ 35.c2 ( 35.b1 dxe1 + 36.c2 d2+ 37.b1 b2#)
35...dxe1 +! |

| | Calli: <Offramp and Sorokhtin> - both lines have been posted before - see posts from last June. On CG, we are ahead of all those celebrity annotators :-) |

| Mar-20-05 | | offramp: I insist on a recount! |

Capablanca, at age 12, in his match with Cuban champion Corzo, sacrificed his queen on move 29 and Corzo resigned on move 60. (Corzo was compelled to give up his own queen on move 32 in order to avoid a forced mate in eight moves by Capa.) Capablanca vs J Corzo, 1901 |

| | whiteshark: I wonder if this game has been played before or after this one: S Levitsky vs Alekhine, 1913 ? |
|
| Dec-29-11 | | sneaky pete: <whiteshark> This game was played July 29 (tournament book) and the match against Lewitsky in March (Meine besten Partien 1908-1923). |
|

| | whiteshark: Thanks <sneaky pete>! So it seems that Aljechin did do his homework after the Lewitsky game. :D |
|
| Apr-25-12 | | rossvassilev: so what happens if white plays 27.cxd3? |
|
| Apr-25-12 | | sneaky pete: <rossvassilev> <Wochenschach> suggests that after 27.cxd3 cxd3 28.Qd2 Rb5
click for larger viewblack will regain the queen (29.Qxd3 Rxb2+ 30.Kc1 Rc8+ 31.Kd1 Rd8) but I'm not sure what will happen after 29.b4 .. (29... a5 30.Bc5 b6 31.Bd6 ,,). It also gives the line 27... Rxd3 28.Rg3 Bd4 29.Qxd3 cxd3 30.Bxd4 Re1+ 31.Ka2 d2 
click for larger viewwhich looks more convincing. |

| Jan-07-13 | | Llawdogg: Wow! 31 Qe4! instead of g5?? sure does take the sizzle out of this great game. |
