| syracrophy: Wow! It's niece to see the great grandmasters make "miniatures" like this one. The only mistake I saw was:
10...Ne5?? <A blunder. This bad move allows a variation of the mate of Legal. Correct was 10...Qe7> 13...Kf6 <Steps into a forced mate, but there's nothing better. 13...Qd6 14.Bxd6+ cxd6 15.Rxd1 Nf6 16.Nc4 b5 17.Nxd6 Kxd6 18.0-0 with an easy win> 14...Kxe5 <It's mate next move with 15.Rf5++, but no better was 14...Kg5 15.Be3+ Kh4 16.Rf5! Qd4 17.Bxd4 a6 18.Bf2+ Ng3 19.hxg3++> |

| Z.Ramsay: amazing! Alekhine really knows these mating combinations well.. |

| Paintbucket: 11.Nxe5!!
This is why Alekhine is one of the best Attacking players to ever play the game. |

| blingice: Alekhine's traps (and I suppose attacks) seem like something you'd have to find out from someone else or by accident rather than through playing it in a game as the first time it's been played. Opening Explorer found three other games with the exact same position after White's 10th move: Spielmann vs Schlechter, 1906
Spielmann vs H Caro, 1907
Alekhine vs O Tenner, 1911
...but none of them have the same move for black's tenth. You'll notice that all of the games linked are all before or in the same year as this game, so I think that fairly assures us that this fantastic attack won't occur again. |

| Whitehat1963: Alekhine tenia hambre! Tenner tuvo que bajar la cabeza! |

| WhiteRook48: Alekhine really flew off the handle at Tenner's king |

| newzild: <Minor Piece Activity: Perhaps a new variant of chess could be created, in which games are composed competitively (perhaps according to a randomly chosen set of preset rules, i.e. game must contain Bxh7+ sack, should be under 25 moves, must end with ...Kh3, etc.) Whoever comes up with the most beautiful game in the eyes of the chess public wins the competition. Sounds sort of weird I admit, but I think the idea is interesting. At the very least it'd give would-be liars something constructive to pour their creative energies into. > I agree! I had exactly the same thought yesterday after playing through this pre-arranged draw (Cramling and Lopez are married). My thought was this: if I was going to compose a pre-arranged draw with the missus, I'd concoct a brilliant sacrificial orgy culminating in perpetual check, rather than a boring symmetrical yawn... J M Bellon Lopez vs P Cramling, 2001 |

| badenbaden: "There are at least a dozen Alekhine games where the moves have been either altered or omitted by Alekhine over a period of time."
Alekhine era un poco presumido y le gustaba echar un poco de "Colonia" a sus escritos... ¡ Nihil obstat! |

| Marmot PFL: This game looks suspicious (outside of a simul). Any decent player would analyze 10...Ne5? and see that it lost. |

| badenbaden: Thank you, Benzol. Es verdad: las mejores colonias se sirven en frascos pequeños...! |

| ajk68: This game is actually a game I showed Alekhine after seeing it on the Chessgames website. I will bring a scorecard of it with me in my time machine tonight. 1907, 1911, 1921 what's the difference?
I'll be lucky if I hit early last century!

| tpstar: This one came around Tenner eleven times during the Pun Contest. Someone realized Tenner rhymes with "tenor" and then someone else tried to improve on the idea and so on. Maybe it was all the same person. The pun is especially clefer for implying a composition; a poster may have saved them the treble, but then such speculation is very bass. Alekhine's fans laud him for saving these beauties and they tend to overlook any ethical misgivings. His detractors rightly admonish him for publishing false gamescores as a form of cheating.
