| Apr-11-05 | | paladin at large: Fine position play by Tartakower with 17. f5, which drives the white bishop away and opens avenues for black's bishop, queeen and rook to threaten g2. 27. Bc6 is a fine move which maintains the pressure. What's the losing move? White has a series of time wasting moves, e.g. 24. Qb5 25. a5 compounded by 28. Qa6 and 29. Q x a7. It is hard to understand what Alekhine thinks he is doing. |

A well played game by Mr T. |

| Jun-16-09 | | YoungEd: With my usual "I could be wrong" caveat, perhaps 14. c4 was a mistake. The hanging pawns created thereby give Black a target, which force White to trade off his better knight and misplace the queen. Interesting finish. |

Thanks for responding--even if it did take you nine years! :) It looks as though I might not have been too wrong, but I wasn't too right either! Again, thanks. |

 | | Phony Benoni: American Chess Bulletin (May / June 1922, p. 97) adds some moves in the final position:
click for larger view<32.Qxc6 Qxc6 33.a6 Ra8 34.g3 f4 35.Bg2 f3 36.Bf1 Qc5 37.a7 Rxg3+ 38.Kh1 Qxf2> 0-1 Usually, extra moves at the en of a score give a checkmate or other interesting continuation for the reader's benefit. This seems more the deranged ramblings of an angry loser - not like Alekhine at all. Genuine or not, I homer where ACB got it from. |

 | | Telemus: The game-score in the tournament book ends after 31.. ♕f3. Fiala/Kalendovský agree ("Complete games of Alekhine, vol 2, 1921-1924"). "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant", 15 April 1922 adds 32.♕xc6 ♕xc6, see
https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=...
This version also appeared in "Casopis Ceskoslovenskych Sachistu" 1922, p 103 where "Deutsche Schachzeitung" was named as source. "Het Vaderland", 18 April 1922 adds the moves that also appeared in the ACB, see https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=... The earliest source I found during my quick search is "Narodni politika" of 12 April 1922. It does not contain any moves, but it states that Black won this game in 38 moves (however, there is small probability that the 8 is a 3). ---
And I think I considered this case in more detail before, but cannot find my notes. |

| | Telemus: Reti commented the game in "Becsi Magyar Ujsag", 16 April 1922, and the game ended there with 31.. ♕f3. |

| | Phony Benoni: <Telemus> Thank you. My belief is that the full sequence through move 38 is genuine, simply because it's too ridiculous to have been invented. Proving that is another matter, especially since it does not appear in the tournament book. But you have unearthed enough evidence to show the idea needs to be taken seriously. |
