vert goos game bya Alekhine, thanx for sharing...

good

Thanks for the wonderful story and game Julio.  I have found that through experience comes intuition about certain postions and possibilities even when you don't have enough time to calculate it all out -as in blitz.  Your gut tells you something is there and you have to have the resolve to just jump in and swim sometimes, right or wrong.  As Hellen Keller once said, "Life is either a daring adventure.. or nothing"  This could very well be applied to chess I would think.

Perhaps it helps to have a drink - but then it could go either way! Amazing.

Why not 9 ...c4 ?

I'm not sure if 16. Qh5 continuation is bad... Bronstein's reccomends that move in his book and Fritz shows 16. ... g6 17. Nxg6 hxg6 18. Qxg6+ Ke7 19. Qg5+ Sf6 20. Qxc5+ Kf7 21. Qxa7+, then bxc3.

Yes I sac'd 3 pieces to open up his uncastled kingside and ended up mating him. Again, I'm a novice and my opponent was just a tiny bit below my skill level so I felt comfortable giving up my pieces for a strong attack. Alekhine probably felt the same way when he was playing Book cause like myself he also knew that he could pull something like that off against a weaker opponent. I would show you the game but it was a live game at my house and I don't bother to record moves.

sometimes i sacrifice a piece for a pawn just so i can open up my opponents king side, sometimes it works, sometimes it backfires....But it helps in bullet games mostly.

In the first variation provided I was mildly confused why 12.e4! was winning.  I missed 13.Ne5 as a response to 12...Qd7.  I'd gone crawling to Fritz to explain all my troubles away.  Anyway, it argues 13.Ne5 isn't that strong, and hence that 11.Ba4! is not the best refutation to 10...bxc3.  After 11.Ba4! Qxd5 12.e4! (as given in the variation), 12...Qd7 13.Ne5, it's happy to get three minor pieces and a pawn for the queen.  It gives 13...Nxe5 14.Bxd7 Bxd7.  Now white must waste a tempo preventing the 15...Bb5 skewer, which allows black to keep the pawn advantage with 15...cxb2.  White has to lose more material later on to prevent the remaining c-pawn's promotion.

All this is avoided by the simple 10...bxc3 11.dxc6, and White maintains an advantage.

Obviously it's much easier to plug moves into a computer, than work the variations out for oneself, but this game is so far over my head, I needed some help to work out what was going on. 

Have Fritz and I missed something in that 12.e4! actually works, or is swapping the queen for three pieces and a pawn sound?

Some of those moves left me speechless, brilliant play!

unfortunately this combination is actually worse for white in theory:), its still a draw probably but hey ok lets say its great practical chances for white.

But it becomes a flawed masterpiece when it is shown that Alekhine loses all of his later established advantage by playing 19 bf4?. instead of qh5! which wins by force the game for white.

Incredible game. I`m amazed at this minds, able to deep, deep thinking or just brilliant

can someone explain why 16.bxc3 deserves a double exclam?

Nice game and a good presentation. Thanks!

That is good intuition, knowing that the disarray in black's position with the centralzied king was worth a rook.  If black had played perfectly it would have still been even though he would have to give back the material.

what kind of dog is in the picture?  looks like a doberman

@GM Julio_Becerra:
thanks for the commented game
i am watching it on my computer

@truthteller908:
3 pieces?! (not pawns?) can we see the game?

Some of my best combinations began with a move by intuition.
