| prinsallan: Beautiful endgame! Not very often you see Alekhine beaten this way. |

| prinsallan: Another gem of endgames in which Alekhine beats Capa himself... Capablanca vs Alekhine, 1927 |

| bridgepro: good morning:-) instead of 18.castles, how about 18.NxBP R(orK)xN,19.QxPch leading to a virulant attack. Any thought on this? |

| sfm: Sometimes we see players giving up too early. For sure you can't say this about Aljechine in this game.
It looks like 31.d5 is a mistake, losing a pawn. Maybe 31.Ne5 ? |

| Confuse: This is just my speculation, but starting from 18, 18. Nxg6, fxg6 19. Qxg6+ Ng7 20. Qxh6 - is trading a knight for 3 pawns a bad idea? im just wondering : ) |

| paladin at large: With 29. Qg3 Alekhine staves off disaster on h2 but thereby creates the black passed pawn which stares down the unhappy white bishop on b1. With that in mind, Alekhine's prior defensive setup was faulty, with both remaining minor white pieces away on the queenside doing nothing special. |

| KokeFischer: 18. Nxg6 seems a playable move:
h6 and h7 are weak and White could obtain more chances. |

| Tophie1984: After 74. Rh3 the game was adjourned. Alekhine's game was obviously lost. But he arrived to the continuation and saw his opponenet sitting on the board. The aribiter came and opened the envelope. Alekhine saw the sealed move and before the aribiter moved in on the board Alekhine resigned and left the areal frustrated.
Tartakower smiled and explained the strange behaviour of his opponent to the spectators: You see that Alekhine doesn't like to lose. He resignes when there is absolutely nothing to hope for. Today he came to find out if I've written down an irregular move, I've travelled away or passed away this night! |
