[D]r3r1k1/1pq2pp1/2p2n2/1PNn4/2QN2b1/6P1/3RPP2/2R3KB b - - id "Reti - Alekhine"; bm Re3; The above is from Reti - Alekhine fromm Baden-Baden, 1925. In his book, "My Best Games of Chess 1908 - 1937", he writes, "I consider this and the game against Bogoljubov at Hastings, 1922, the most brilliant tournament games of my chess career. And by a peculiar coincidence they both remained undistinguished as there were no brilliancy prizes awarded in either of these contest!" The Hastings game is the one Terry has posted. I set up the above position from the book diagram. If someone has this in their database it would be worth the post to see the entire game. I recall GM Kevin Spraggett writing at length on this position of all the possible best continuations that he and other GM's considered.
