Faced with the threat of Qh8# Alekhine's opponent resigned.

Alekhine offered to reverse the board and continue. His opponent agreed and the game continued, 1 ...Rh4, 2. Nxh4 Qc3.

Once again faced with the threat of mate on the move the opponent resigned. Once again Alekhine offered to reverse the board.

The game concluded 3.Qh8+ Kxh8, 4. Ng6+ Kg8, 5. Rh8#.

It must have been funny to lose 3 times!

Hello Sir!

Your story was interesting. I took the time to setup the move list you mentioned to visualise it. So instead of just erase it I posted here. I place your comment quickly, they might not be at the perfect place but I think I respect the sequence of moves you wrote.

Thanks for sharing.
