  thegoodanarchist: Great notes!
Dec-18-06  syracrophy: I don't understand how could a tournament was played in Munich, a land occupied by war during 1942 by World War II. And also, where Alekhine played, a person persecuted by the Nazis
Jan-16-08  nolanryan: fantastic annotation, describing all the pitfalls in a relatively rare line.

I feel that 10 .. Bh5 would have been a better choice for the bishop becase on e6 it is frequently threatened by the d5 pawn fork.

Alekhine, persecuted by the Nazis? Not exactly...
