  An Englishman: Good Evening: Ah, yes, the dangers of playing "safely" against a superior opponent. Alekhine has all day and all night to seek a win versus his passive opponent.

Actually, it wasn't *literally* all day and all night. According to the comments of Alekhine-Sultan Khan, this was the second game Alekhine had to play on the same day at this tournament! Still, it's a decent example of how to manouver against an opponent who tries to hold the draw.

Apr-04-16  aliejin: Kotov includes this game
in his "chess Heritage Alekhine"
Volume I.
It is an instructive and beautiful game.
With ..... 16 e5! Alekhine initiates an
positional attack, based on the fact that
if black knight is taked , black gets
a powerful passed pawn.
Jan-03-24  Sirius69: 36) Rxd4? is a mistake. No need to lose the exchange. Better is 36) Nc2!? which leads to a draw with equal play.

  beatgiant: <Sirius69> How does white hold a draw if Black simply doubles on the h-file, aiming to maneuver his rook to h3 where it adds threats on the f3 pawn and g3 square while still threatening the h-file?

For example 36. Nc2 Qh7 37. Ne1 Rh3 and I don't see how White can deal with the threats.

Jan-04-24  Sirius69: Even the endgame as it stands, is a difficult win for black and is filled with subtle maneuvers.

  beatgiant: <Sirius69> You mean the final position? White's f-pawn will soon fall and I don't see the difficulty for Black. Can you post a sample line to illustrate what you're seeing?
Jan-04-24  Sirius69: @beatgiant Yes I stand corrected; it does look bleak for white and most likely a loss.
Jan-04-24  mk volkov: <Sirius69 < 36) Rxd4? is a mistake.>>

No, it was forced. The crucial mistake was 26. g4?
