| drukenknight: a madcap Nimzo indian played at blitz, Alekhine must have run out of time cause the pawn looks blocked. Alek. missed a check there on: 34...Qe6+ |

| Cyphelium: drukenknight> This position is a thematic win for black. See: 49. Kd2 Rh1 50. Rxa2 Rh2+ 51. Kc3 Rxa2. |

| Honza Cervenka: <drukenknight> White is lost. Black threatens to play Rh1 with intention RxP Rh2+ with next RxR. If white King moves from the second line, then black Rook gives a check with queening the Pawn in next move. |

| skakmiv: How can you write down the moves, when you are playing blitz? |

| refutor: you have to remember them...it's not hard to do, especially for a guy like alekhine who could perform blindfold simuls |

| suenteus po 147: 49...hxg5 50.fxg5 Rg1. If 51.Rxa2 Rg2+ skewering the king. If anything else, like 51.Kf3 for example to protect the threatened pawn, then 51...a1/=Q 52.Rxa1 Rxa1 and you've still lost. |
|

| drukenknight: I think 50 f5 would be better in that line. w/ 50 fxg5 trading off the material and insuring that the f pawn can never queen does not sound very compelling. |

| suenteus po 147: I suppose 50.f5 would be a better play if you got past the loss of your rook, but unfortunately you still face 50...Rg1 51...a1/=Q 52.Rxa1 Rxa1 - + |

| Reti Incarnate: I'd say White's screwed. Straight win for black, unless he blunders his rook. |
