The exhibition was held at the same site, and 10 days after, the famous New York tournament of 1924.

Up to that date the blindfold exhibition record had been held by Breyer, who had played 25 on January 30, 1921 in Kaschau, scoring +15, -3, =7.

Alekhine, who faced strong opposition in this blindfold exhibition, scored +16, -5, =5. Play started at 2 PM and finished at 2 AM. Play was continuous except for a short break for dinner.

This record of 26 games was soon surpassed by Alekhine himself, when in Paris on February 1, 1925, he played 28 games.

At move 36, Steiner held the advantage. Fritz at that point prefers Black: (-.97) (20 ply) 36...Kg7, or (-.75) (20 ply) 36...Nf5, or (-.74) (20 ply) 36...Rf7.

After 36...Rf7 37.b6, Fritz indicates Black should have played: (-.73) (20 ply) 37...Re7 38.Rc8+ Kf7.

After 37...Nc6? 38.Ba6!, Fritz indicates Black still had a near equal game with: 38...Nd8! 39.Rc8 Rd7 40.Bxb7 Rxb7 41.Rxd8+.

Later, Steiner still had drawing chances with 45...Re8!. Perhaps Alekhine should have better prepared his Pawn promotion. Additional analysis is needed to determine if 44.b8Q should be delayed. After 44.b8Q Nxb8 45.Rxb8, Fritz indicates the following continuations, all with drawing chances for Black: (.58) (23 ply) 45...Re8! 46.Rb7+ Kf6 47.Rc7 g5 48.fxg5+ Kxg5 49.Ba6 Ra8 50.Be2 h6, and now, if: (.51) (20 ply) 51.Rc6 Kf5, or (.50) (20 ply) 51.Re7 Kf6, or (.50) (20 ply) 51.Rg7+ Kf6, or (.50) (20 ply) 51.Rd7 Kf5, (.48) (20 ply) 51.Kf3 Ra3+, or (.46) (20 ply) 51.Kh3 Ra2, or (.45) (20 ply) 51.Rc1 Ra2, or (.44) (20 ply) 51.Kf2 Ra2, or (.43) (20 ply) 51.Bd3 Ra3, or (.42) (20 ply) 51.Rf7 Ra2.

At move 46, Fritz strongly prefers 46.Rb6. Although after 46. Rb6 Re8 47.Rc6, it is difficult to prove a win for White. After Alekhine's 46.Kf3?, Fritz indicates the game would have been equal had Steiner player 46...Re8!.
