  Peligroso Patzer: Although this was not one of the great games from this famous tournament, things could have been very interesting if Maroczy had gone in for the ultra-sharp 8. ... Nxf4.

Alekhine in the tournament book says this line would have "led to 'swindle' positions with Marshall entirely in his element", even though AA says there would have been no "imminent danger" for Black. Alekhine gives these variations: 8...Nxf4 9.Bxf7+ (9.Nxf7 Qa5 leads clearly nowhere.) 9...Kf8 10.Qf3 (if 10.Nd5 dxe5 11.Nxf4 Qa5+) 10...dxe5 11.dxe5 Bxe5 12.g3 h6, or 11.Bxg6 Nf6, and then adds: "Even if White by hook or crook should regain his piece, Black meanwhile would effect undisturbed coordination of his forces. But the subsequent evolution also secures for him a superior position."
