A CHESS Games — Problems ' By Paul L Cromelin OTES TO THE GAME Alekhine v The Daily Argus White 4 — Marshall generally plays xP in this position Black 7 — Though B-K2 is usually played here the text move is more aggressive Black 9 — The fact that this attacks the Bishop is incidental The move was made merely to protect the pawn White has a good reply in P-KR1 when the Bishop can not be taken Black 15 — Certainly N-Q2 and ' QN-B3 is better ’Time pressure here affected our play Black 19— or B-R4 -N'4 B-N3 Q-Q2 BxR?? Nxl’uh! The text is safe and retains the Bishop for the end game White 20 — With the threat of N-B5 attacking the Bishop again Black 25 — The plan at present is to remove the weak squares on the King side by 1-N3 to post the Kook on K2 giving the QR complete mobilitj Though an exchange up the win is still hard tc find White 29 — Now’ Alekhine’s plan unfolds itself Be threatens N-Q3 and B4 and Q-B2 attacking the Black KNP Then if Black plays P-KB4 to defend the White Knight posts on K5 via QJ Black prepares to double Rooks on the KR file defending the pawn at the same lIWhite S3 — With this plan met Alekhine forces the Queens off the board.
Black 35 — Black’s plan for the win now shapes up The steps are as follows: 1 Bush the Knight out of Bl 2 l’-R3 to block the Queen’s side of the board 3 R-QN to hold the pawn 4 K-QB2-to release the Rock for the attack f Double lbs Rooks on the KR file and play P-R5 when possible The file is to be broken open and a Black Kook is to win' the White QRP via the eighth rank Black II — This is the only move to win After P-R5 P-N4 I’-RG P-N3 ’r-R7 R-KR the file and position is blocked Also this move is possible nnlv because the White Rook is away from the KR file from which It would have played K-Rl drawing Black no longer fears the entry of the Knight Black 45 — P-R5 1’xP RxP N-Nt K-R8 would also win If White had played 45 R-KR -R5 is the only answer Black 47 — or after -R5 Tx P LxT N-Ktlch ' K-N N-N7 White wins a pawn without loss of time Again if 46 or 41 R-KR P-R5 must be played immediately In the meantime Black solidifies his position Black 48 — There is no reason fcr further delay White '51 — White could have resisted longer by RxK RxR N-K Black 52 — Winning u pawn by force One might say that the Rook takes this 1’awn on passant since the QRP is the real objective Black 55— The contemplated Rnnk sacrifice can not be made while the Knight is at Bl Black gives Alekhin-time tc move It! White 57 — White can not refuse the offer because of the threatened mate in two Black 61 — The plan originating with Black’s 35th move comes to a successful conclusion White could hne ie-fdgned earlier and certainly should have now Problem Department Oh Me!
