A glimpse into the past: the story of a picture


3.5
As the table shows, Alekhine did not suffer a single loss, whereas Schmidt lost two games: one against Georg Kieninger and one against Alekhine. The two later tournament winners, Schmidt and Alekhine, met each other in the fourth round and in this game Schmidt had what he later described as his most unforgettable chess experience . According to Schmidt, Alekhine in this game moved a rook and just took the move back . (See Eva Regina Magacs, Michael Negele,
Paul Felix Schmidt: A Winning Formula, Exzelsior Verlag, Edition Randstein 2017, p. 106).
What happened?
 
Alekhine shared his version of the events in this game with Francesco Lupi, who then retold Alekhine s tales to the chess public in the British magazine CHESS. Alekhine probably overlooked the simple mate after 31.Rb8+ because he had drunk too much cognac during the game. In his account of the incident Alekhine more or less openly admits that he was drunk during the game, but he provides a differ ....

In a first article on this topic I described that the former World Champion Alexander Alekhine (1892 - 1946) played the Philidor Defence several times and was very successful with it. Since the article met with lively interest and some ChessBase readers also provided interesting hints, I would like to go into some more details and present some more exciting games with this opening.
Edward Lasker vs Alekhine - a positional masterpiece
The 15-year-old Alexander Alekhine played an interesting game against Edward Lasker in Dusseldorf (Germany) in 1908. Again he chose the Hanham variation, in which Black defends e5 by 3. . Nd7 instead of giving up the the centre by exchanging pawns or risking Philidor s hazardous counterattack 3. . f5?!. Through skilful manoeuvring Alekhine reduced the white ....

The Chess Informant
Once upon a time, there were no computer engines to analyze a chess game. And there was no database to provide millions of games at a touch of a button.
However, games
were available, albeit not in a number of millions; but the most current ones, the most important and the most beautiful ones were made available to look and delight at.  Not at a touch of a button, but by patiently turning page by page of a printed book of usually not less than 300 pages, containing not less than 200 games. The pleasure had to be eagerly awaited for a couple of months at a time. ....
