In his book "Think like a Grandmaster" Kotov quotes Alekhine's annotation to his
game vs. Treibal in Pistyan 1922:

"Black forces a winning king and pawn ending by means of the longest combination
I have ever played."  The variation given starts at move 33 for Black and ends
on move 51.

5rk1/6pp/5P2/1q4P1/1bp2Q1P/7K/1P1p4/2B2R2 b - - 0 33

Kotov gives it as an example of a forced combination with one variation.
