Feb-24-03 | | popski: I dont see any sicilian and 2.f4 here. Hmm, 17. Be3, e4 18.Nh4, Qh5-+ Yes, Alekhine was genius. |
|
Feb-24-03 | | aulero: I could agree that Alekhine was a (chess) genius, but I see no sign of genius here, only white's big errors (the last and fatal 16.exd5). |
|
Feb-24-03 | | corbinamman: What is black's response to 17. Be7? If 17...e4 then 18 Kh1. If 17...Re8 then 18 d6. |
|
Feb-25-03 | | Cyphelium: 17. Be7 Re8 18. d6 e4 and white loses a piece. (18.Nh4 Qh5 or 18. h3 exf3) Not a very interesting game. |
|
Aug-29-04 | | popski: Yes, Alekhine was a (chess) genius. |
|
Aug-29-04 | | WMD: I've always wanted to know what it felt like to be behind the 8-ball. |
|
Aug-29-04 | | popski: Well, register username and try. |

Sep-21-04 | | Knight13: Draw. Not a resign here.
<Cyphelium> Yes, not a very interesting game. |

 | | beatgiant: <Draw. Not a resign here.> White resigns because there's no way to avoid losing at least a piece. Black threatens both 17...e4 winning the knight, and 17...♗xf3 18. ♕xf3 ♕xg5 winning the bishop. 18. ♗e7 loses as <Cyphelium> points out above, and 18. ♕d2 loses to 18...♗xf3 19. gf f6 , winning the bishop. |
|
Sep-23-04 | | Cyphelium: Perhaps I should make a slight correction of my old post. After 17. Be7 Re8 18. d6 e4 19. Nh4, the move 19.- Qh5 is nonsense. The simple 19.- Bxe2 wins on the spot. |
|
May-27-05 | | InspiredByMorphy: At first I thought white could respond with 17.Nxe5 but black can answer with 17. ...Nxe5 18.Qxe5 f6 White can do nothing about the inevitable 17. ...e4 |

Jan-12-11 | | jmboutiere: 7.Nbd2 is the first mistake
9.Bg5 better than 9.c3
15.h3 better than 15.Bd5
16.Rd5 better than 16.ed5 |
|
Jan-12-11 | | jmboutiere: 17.Be7 e4 18.Bf8 Bf3 19.Qf1 Bd1 20.Be7 Bc2 21.d6 - 4.17 Rybka 3 |
|
Apr-08-11 | | bolek88: 3) not Nf3 but c3! - Morr Gambit
White resigned cause of the pawns - completly destroyed :
17)Be3 e4
18) Nh4 Qh5
19) f3 exf3
20) Nxf3 Ne5
21) Bxc5 Nxf3
22) gf Bxf3
23) Queen has no good move, if Qf1 - Rfc8 and next Bxd1; if Qf2 it Bxd1 |

Black wins a piece after 17. Be3 e4 18. Nh4 <Bxe2> 19. Nxg6 hxg6. |

In "Alexander Alekhine's Chess Games 1902-1946" (McFarland 1998) p.27, Skinner and Verhoeven list their source as "Shakhmaty v SSSR" 1986, n.11, p.16." They report that "It is not known in which event this game was played." |

 | | FSR: 3...e5 is greedy but playable, setting the cheap trap 4.Nxe5?? Qa5+ "and wins." But see the astonishing Shumov vs C Jaenisch, 1851. 4.c3 was correct with a favorable version of the Smith-Morra Gambit. I prefer 3...a6!? when Fischer played the SMG with 4.c3 in Fischer vs Korchnoi, 1960 rather than 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5!, when Black has achieved his dream O'Kelly Sicilian and White must play accurately to maintain equality. |
