 | | Sneaky: Young Alekhine plays true to his style. |
|
| Sep-26-02 | | Chesset2002: Can't find 3.)...d5 in MCO or Emms. Only Nf6 and Qh4+. Seems interesting. Wonder what A.'s notes say. |

| | Sneaky: I think that is a common move--or at least it was common, a hundred years ago. Here's some more examples: Mongredien vs Morphy, 1859 Winawer vs Tarrasch, 1892 |

|
| Dec-17-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: <Can't find 3.)...d5 in MCO or Emms> 3. Nf3 is the common move for
white, but when white plays the text move 3…d5 is one of the reasonable replies by black. Steinitz preferred
3...Ne7. |
|
| Dec-17-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: I would say 4...Nf6 is the best move for black, but who I am I to argue with Alekhine! |

 | | patzer2: Aleknine initiates a nice six-move finishing combination with 26. ..Qe3+. After the last recorded move, 29. ..Kg1 30. Qg3+ Qg2 31. Qxg2# follows. |
|
| Oct-02-03 | | pawntificator: So 19 Qxe4 is no good, eh? How come? |
|
| Oct-02-03 | | crafty: 19. ♕xe4 ♕xe4 20. ♘xe4 ♘e2+ 21. ♔h2 ♘xf4 22. ♖f1 ♗xe5  (eval -1.86; depth 16 ply; 250M nodes) |
|
| Oct-02-03 | | drukenknight: 9 h4 looks a little too safe. what if 9 Bxf7+ QxB 10 Nxg5 Qf6 11 Nb5 or something. it is a gambit after all, you are supposed to lose material. |
|

| | patzer2: <drukenknight> Your recommendation of 9. Bxf7+ is an interesting alternative. Fritz 8 gives black only a small advantage after 9. ..Qxf7 [Not 9. ..Kxf7? 10. Ng5+  ]10. Nxg5 Qg6 11. Nf3 Bg4 12. Qd3 Kd8 13. Bxf4 Rf8 14. Ne2 Kc8 15. Kf2 Bxf3 (-1.09 @ 14 depth and 645kN/s). Still, white's position in your gambit here looks like it has possibilites and might be very playable -- at least against a human opponent. |
|
| May-25-04 | | dicksosa: patzer it is not 9... Kxf7 because 10. Ne5+ then either way 10... Bxe5 or 10... Ke8 11. Qxh5 and that's all of blacks queen. |
|
| Jul-29-04 | | chess4games: Early people makes different openings. Not like now. This is a good game. |
|
| Jul-29-04 | | chess4games: Alkhine played this game when he was 12 years old. Pretty amazing. |
|
| Aug-19-04 | | MrNatural: The D5 by Alkhine is known as The Bledow Var. (aka. Anderssen Ctr.-Attack) and was once very popular. Chessops http://www.eudesign.com/chessops/
says:"Black advances his QPawn to fork White's B+KP, giving back the earlier gambit (to equalise in development) with usually a good game for Black" |
|
| Nov-25-04 | | BadTemper: My heart hurts, I want to play like this. |
|
| Jan-04-05 | | MonsieurL: 23 Bxd8 is the end of it all... can white somehow manage better with 23 Qf2? |

| Mar-07-18 | | hemy: In the Latvian newspaper "Ventas Balss", 1939.11.23, page 23, mistake was made about the date of this game:
"The current world champion Alechins as 13 years old boy in a Russian correspondence tournament. In 1903 he fought against A.Gize from Jelgava."
Alekhine was born in 1892, so he was 13 years old in 1905, not in 1903. This game was also published in Austrian newspaper "Tages-Post" (Linz) - 1931, May 2, p. 28.
The article "Der Weltmeister als Fernspieler" ("World champion as a Corresponding games player") referring this game to the Russian corresponding tournament 1905-1906. "Löufergambit, gespielt in einem russischen Ferntumier 1905 — 1906
A Giese — Mitau, A. Aljechin - Moskau."
http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/a... Mitau is a German name for Latvian city Jelgava. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jelgava) |
|
| Mar-07-18 | | hemy: This game started on September 27th, 1905 and ended on November 30th, 1906. A. Alekhine, "Полное собрание партий" ("Full collection of games"), Russian chess house, 2008, vol. 1, game 1. |
