| Aug-23-05 | | avidfan: Why did White not play
51.Nxc4 Qxc4 52.e5 Qc2+ 53.Kg3 then Black's queen would have a hard time against rook, knight and 3 united passed pawns since if 53...Qxb2 54.d5+ (discovered) 54...Kb5 55.f7 wins and if 53...Qg6+ 54.Rg4, Black is on the defensive with no harassing checks
54...Qc2 55.f7 Qf5 56.Rf4 Qg6+ 57.Kh4 Qh6+ 58.Kg4 Qg6+ 59.Ng5 wins. |

 | | gauer: This has got to be one of the best classics of the stonewall attack ever. The ending is a pure classic, and there's not much to compain about the middlegame, either. I don't have the Alekhine reference, but which opening references would one study for trying to transpose to or refute this opening (ie and not the anti-Dutches, such as the Staunton Gambit, etc) move-order, and/or colours reversed (as I'm a Stonewall player, too, and ECO codes aren't really too useful for describing opening set-ups)? |

| Sep-11-05 | | fgh: Extraordinary! The opening and the middlegame are easy here, but the endgame... Oh, the analysist's pleasure. |

| Feb-02-06 | | Eatman: Alekhine says in his notes that white were busted in the opening, and white were lucky to get a chance to sac the queen.
Acording to AA, also 36. Rb8! (instead of 36. a4) was winning much quicker. It could go like this 36. Rb8 (threat is Nxc4+ axb4 mate) 36. ... bxa3 37. Nxc4+ Kb4 (else its mate again) 38. Nxa3 a6 39. Nxa6+ Ka5 (else white is just up ridiculous amount of material) 40. Nc5 threatening Rxb5 or b4X |

| Sep-03-07 | | lennox888: This is really a draw. After White Queens both pawns at the 7th rank Black exchanges Queens. And Black's King could capture the remaining pawn in the a-file. |

 | | 4tmac: 69.  g6! b1=Q(!) 70. d8= ! pins down the one queen & wins! (70 NxQ would draw much like the game) Quite an ending! |

 | | Phony Benoni: First of all, the pun is the title of a popular American television show of the 1960s. If you've seen the game before, you'll catch the relevance immediately. If you have never played through this one, you are in for an experience. Alekhine, in the tournament book, called it "The oddest game of the tournament". No argument. |

 | | sevenseaman: What if 39. b3 in lieu of 39. Rb8. The Black B is trapped? It guards c6 square against a N fork. |

 | | profK: Wow what a great game, and heaven knows if the result was right, but you almost got to take a breather just playing through it .. |
|
| Aug-03-11 | | abuzic: Check with the other N: 62.Nge4+, much better was 62.Nde4+ and immediately e6 (62...Kd4? 63.Ne6+) White could get rid of the b pawn and further sac the N: 62.Nxb3 and d7, e6, e7 will follow. |

 | | kevin86: Black is ahead a queen for three lowly pawns and a knight. But,it is he that is forced to draw. |

| Aug-03-11 | | ChitownChesster: Can anyone tell me why Black's queen stayed put for such a long time in the middle game while his King was traversing the board? It seems Black spent half the game trying to find a safe square for his King. I've never seen a game anything like this. |
