| May-15-06 | | WhoKeres: It's interesting that Alekhine played 5...a6, which could have transposed to the modern and very popular 4...a6 line in the Slav defense. Alekhine was just an incredibly creative player, and I'll bet he didn't want to waste his usual defens, 4...dxc4 on a plyer like Reinfeld, whom he probably expected to beat with Black. |

| Dec-30-07 | | Dr. J: It looks to me as if Black has a simple win at move 32 (and again at move 35): 32 ... Bxc4, 33 Nxc4 (bxc4 Nxa4) Nxc4, 34 bxc4 Kf8, 35 Kf2 Ke7, 36 Ke3 Kd6, 37 Kd2 (or a pawn move) Kc5, 38 Kd3 b3, 39 Kc3 b2, 40 Kxb2 Kxc4, and then Black wins the a-pawn and the game. But it is inconceivable to me that these two players could miss something seemingly so obvious. So what am I missing? |

| Dec-30-07 | | Dr. J: <Calli> Thanks. I missed that White could recover the pawn. As regards Andrew Toney: sorry, you must be thinking of some other Dr. J. |
