May-19-04		Bobsterman3000: Damn. Why not 20.Qf2? Either I'm missing something or Alekhine is overrated...

May-19-04		iron maiden: Overrated? No. Drunk? Probably.

Aug-23-04		Tiamat: Either that or they didn't show it correctly or all, look at the other game, it shows NN beating Alekhine, however, someone else put the complete game there and it showed him winning.

Oct-14-04		zugzwangdragon: It's very possible that Alekhine was under heavy influence of mind-altering drugs during this game.

Oct-14-04		WMD: This was one of 28 games played in his world record blindfold simultaneous display conducted on 1st February 1925. He won 22, lost 3 and drew 3.

Feb-28-05		bsprizzle: 28 blind simul games. Amazing. I tried playing a blindfolded game once and I ended up offering a draw when I was up a piece about twenty five moves into it. It was hard.

Feb-02-06		notyetagm: Wow. This game is from that famous 28-game Alekhine blindfold simul. My goodness. I cannot even play one game blindfolded and here Alekhine plays 28 such games at the same time. Amazing.

Feb-02-06		WMD: More information on that simul: Alekhine vs NN, 1925

Nov-28-06		sheaf: forget about alekhine... NN played Sicilian Defense Richter-Rauzer... and I must say played it quite well.. those were the days when sicilian was not considered sound..

Nov-28-06		Calli: In fact, NN was not there that day. A prior engagement perhaps. The Black pieces were conducted by members of the "Cercle de Montmartre" chess club on board 7 of AA's record breaking BF simul.

Dec-24-08		WhiteRook48: Alekwine... Alekhine drinks too much

Mar-24-09		WhiteRook48: how about 37 g3?
