It looks like mate to me. Are you looking at the 1921 Alekhine Euwe game?
The soultion to this one seems to be uncorrect

It is obvious that white is clearly better as he can get his pawn back immediately and maintains a huge lead in development.
However, in the solution it is said and black resigned because of getting mated. Even with computer analysis I cannot see the reason. Black might play c6 or c5 and escape from mate still having a miserable position (stockfish says +2). Stockfish sees both d4 and Nxf4 in the starting position with +4, both riskless.
Even checked the position in the database for correctness.
Any opinions?
Oh I see. Looks like you may have something.
I looked up the game on Chessgames. There, it was reported that the game was a rapid 10 seconds per move game.
