Spectacular concept and attack by the future World Champion. The disorganized black pieces plus endangered black king were easy prey for Alekhine’s attack. Calculating all those lines before capturing the e pawn and having even considered that he had a viable attack that essentially starts on the queen side (via Nd5) is splendid. He is one of my favorite masters on account of his ingenuity. Thanks a lot.
Alekhine's play was both creative and impressive. Although I initially believed that Ne6 would lead to an immediate victory, it turned out that Black could counter with Qb8 and subsequently defend with Nf8, obstructing the advancement of the pawn to the queening square, after Nxd8.
I'll give it to Saemisch that he saw all the variations you gave us here, and realized he was hopelessly lost, and just resigned after Nd5, was pretty impressive by itself
8:59 At 8:59 of your video, you have provided an erroneous move in your analysis - Nc7. Rather, the immediately winning move is Nxb6! You should correct your video accordingly.
BEST chess comentator. Every word.

Both Nc7 and Nb6 are winning. Alekhine gives Nc7 in his annotations, so I showed this variation.
