3. Nf3 Ne4(a) 4. Nfd2(b) Bb4 8. Bf4(c) O-O 14. exf4 Rxf4(d) 19. Qf4(e) dxc3 23. Bh5(f) a5
Notes by Alekhin.
(a) A move against all principle, not only with respect to the somewhat antiquated elementary idea of never moving the same piece twice in the opening, but also with regard to the more modern views on the subject.
(b) The logical reply which compels back to either give up the control of K5sq or to adopt the stonewall formation which weakens the blacks squares in black's position.
(c) This stops whatever chances black might have of obtaining an attack by reason of his momentary control of the open KB line.
(d) Black's position is not good. Better might have been PxP; 15. RxP N-B3; which would make possible the development of black's queenside. The advantage of white's development soon becomes decisive.
(e) This sacrifice is without doubt the quickest and surest way of forcing a win.
(f) The decisive blow. Black is left without resource.
