  MissScarlett: Skinner & Verhoeven: <Only the first ten moves of the following game are available. An account of the game appeared in the <Birmingham Post>, 18 August 1923, p.12: "Alekhine caught Groen in the opening. He defended with 5...Bc5, the Classical Defence and picked up a pawn very early. Later the Dutch player allowed ...Bh3, the bishop not being able to be taken on account of ...Nf3+ winning the queen. Groen resigned on the 23rd move without waiting to be mated.">

I would think there's sufficient information there for a serious attempt to be made to reconstruct the full score.

Go to work, young men!
