Jan-29-03   mrwonkabar: Thats a funny lookin trap.
Aug-07-03   Harapu: How about 10. ..Nb4 ? Black will lose a knight, not a queen .
Dec-01-03   youngplayer11: <how about 10. ..Nb4?Black loses a knight,not a queen.>its still worth resgning against alekhine
Dec-30-03   Hidden Skillz: but its so nicely done i seen some games by him traping queens similar to this..its crazy how he makes it look so easy..

  nasmichael: Not quite a miniature, but an unwillingness to play Alekhine the man and restarting an attack plan. How could he have avoided this trap? Development instead of attacking so early.
Feb-17-04   WMD: This game is not listed by Skinner & Verhoeven. If memory serves, Winter's Chess Explorations discussed a spurious Alekhine-Nenarokov game. Perhaps someone with the book to hand could confirm this.
Feb-17-04   drukenknight: if he is going to 000 early then he should accept being down in material: 8...Rxd5 and then go after the K.

  Knight13: Cool queen trap. Good game.
Sep-12-04   sneaky pete: <WMD> I don't have Winter's book and I couldn't google any useful information on the internet, but I discovered one curious fact browsing through printed short games collections. Exactly the 10 moves were played in Tolush vs Aronson, 24th USSR Championship, Leningrad, 1957 (not in this database). So if this game should be spurious, the dirty rat probably didn't have a paw in it.
Jul-24-05   A.Alekhine: Again Alekhine make it look easy
Aug-18-05   jamesmaskell: Ouch, like a bug in the spiders web.

  Phony Benoni: <WMD> Good memory! I don't have the Winter book, but I did find an index online which indicated that "Chess Explorations" did mention a spurious Alekhine--Nenarokov game.

By the way, this game is also not in the three-volume set of Alekhine's games edited by Khalifman.

  Calli: <Exactly the 10 moves were played in Tolush vs Aronson, 24th USSR Championship, Leningrad, 1957>

<Sneaky Pete> Yes, that's the real game. This score was a fraud perpetrated by Grigory Bogunovich of Pittsburg, Pa who sent it in to Chess Review (September 1959, p257) along with a clearly rediculous story about the encounter. Note that it appeared shortly after Tolush-Aronson. I wonder if "Grigory Bogunovich" was a real person.

Jun-11-07   Pawsome: 6... Rxd5 7. Nxd5 Qxd5 with a pawn for the exchange is black's best.

  vonKrolock: Compare to Tolush vs Aronson, 1957 And read also Edward Winter's <"The Alekhine vs Nenarokov Hoax"> http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... and <"Chess Notes"> 6354 October 2009
Nov-12-09   jonico: I would played 10...Ne3...
