| Mar-02-16 | | hypercorby: Clean game, Alekhine seems very relaxed. I don't know why I love that game. If Vasic could practice more on chess Vasics, I couldn't make pun with him. Thank you, Vasic. |

| May-13-20 | | MordimerChess: Hmmm, Alekhine didn't play very precise, actually after 9...c5 black could castle or after 10. dxc5 Qa5 11. Bb4 Qc7= would have pretty comfortable game against 3 isolated c-pawns, c5 is attacked twice, a5 is coming, etc.. My analysis + short story:

 | | kingscrusher: In one respect the lesson which seems to be evident is keeping checking All Checks, Captures and Major threats. In practice, this would be exhausting for most people and unpractical. Perhaps a more qualified lesson would be: If your King escape squares are taken or the opponent's then be a little bit keener to "check all checks". I bring this up because of a recent reddit discussion here where a GM misses a key check: https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comm... where I had a great reply:

It's also useful to frame in terms of efficiency. In a real game, against a strong opponent, it's an enormous waste of energy checking for multiple elementary blunders on every move. The engine can afford to be enormously inefficient. It looks at millions and billions of useless positions because it can afford to.

I had replied: "
Yep - great point. So as humans generally we need to often base tactical opportunities on red flags e.g. unprotected piece, weakened king, etc. The tradeoff here is often missing stuff that engines will not." But perhaps a key red flag which makes it more worth it is if escape squares are already taken out - in this Alekhine game the Bishop on a3 takes out the e7 and f8 escape squares. So both players perhaps should be more motivated to "check all checks" in this classic Alekhine example case. |

| Jul-29-24 | | geeker: Boden's mate Monday! Had to be a simul game...unless Alekhine just made it up. :-) |
|
| Jul-29-24 | | Allderdice83: Q-sac Monday, saw it right away. A miniature. Black should play 9 ... c5!, gambiting a pawn temporarily but getting it back after 10. dxc5 Qa5 (after all, White has tripled pawns!). That leads to an equal position. |
|
| Jul-29-24 | | Mayankk: A mate delivered by criss-crossing Bishops feels always beautiful, regardless of how often you have seen it. It often springs up in the most innocuous looking positions due to the Bishop's long range and therefore no need for multiple developing moves. In this case, Black is preparing for c5 and then O-O. All the White major pieces, including the twin Bishops are on or behind 3rd rank. We are only in the 10th move. And still 10 Qxe6+ fxe6 11 Bg6# is possible simply because Black has itself blocked his King's escape squares and also allowed the White dark-squared Bishop a free look on the entire a3-f8 diagonal. Always look for mate threats, right from first move. |

|
| Jul-29-24 | | King.Arthur.Brazil: I guess that this trap was shown by Znosko-Borovsky (Traps on the Chessboard or Dangers in the openings) read long ago, around 80's. Directly: 10. Qxe6+ fxe6 11. Bg6#. The king loves Mondays. |

|
| Jul-29-24 | | Damenlaeuferbauer: Even in a simul, the immortal 4th world champion Alexander Alekhine finally found the mate in 2 moves with the nice queen sacrifice 10.Qxe6+!,fxe6 (10.-,Qe7 11.Qxe7#) 11.Bg6#. I love Mondays! |

| Jul-29-24 | | TheaN: Was almost certain I had posted on this before, but I haven't, it's the similar-themed W Springe vs H Gebhard-Elsass, 1927 as per <Sally Simpson> that I've posted on. This is indeed almost the same, just from different directions: <10.Qxe6+ fxe6 (Qe7 11.Qxe7#) 11.Bg6#>. This game shows why taking on c3 in the Winnawer before White's a3 is a bad idea: trading the good bishop for essentially nothing is a sin. Regardless, up til the losing blunder Black has a playable game, 9....c5 instead of 9....b6?? is 0. As French player I'd never consider this though, as the opening's principle is based around dark square control. |
