This position taken from a game considered by Alekhine to be one of his best two
games ever played.
Baden-Baden Tournament, May 1925.
White: R. Reti Black Alekhine:
In this position Alekhine wrote " It seems almost incredible that this
spectacular move not only stops White's attack but even brings him serious
trouble". The only reason why Reti got into trouble was because he chose 27.
Kt-B3?! Instead of the better move chosen by Fritz 8 27. bxc6! this is what
Alekhine wrote " It is obvious enough that the Rook can't be taken because of
27....QxP+. followed by 28.....KtxP and wins.
The move found by Alekhine 26....R-K6! is a great challenge for most top
programs, since I have NOT found any programs that will select this move.
[D]r3r1k1/1pq2pp1/2p2n2/1PNn4/2QN2b1/6P1/3RPP2/2R3KB b - - 0 1
This is what Fritz 8 plays after:
26... Re6 {[%emt 0:00:00]} 27. bxc6 {[%emt 0:00:04]}
Here is the other brillian game considered by Alekhine to be his best two games
ever played.
