Nimzowitsch - Alekhine, 1926
The first game on this blog has to be a game of Alekhine himself. Unfortunately he lost this game, but the opening named after himself went very well.
1.e4 Nf6 2.Nc3
( 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 is played in almost 75% of the games, but more about these variations later. )
2...d5 3.e5
( 3.exd5 Nxd5 4.Bc4 is the most relevant alternative line. )
3...Nfd7 4.f4
( 4.d4 is the main line of this variation. )
4...e6 5.Nf3 c5 6.g3 Nc6 7.Bg2 Be7 8.O-O O-O 9.d3 Nb6!? a somewhat different continuation, but it seems that nothing is wrong with this move. 10.Ne2 d4 11.g4 f6 12.exf6 gxf6 13.Ng3 Nd5 14.Qe2 Bd6 15.Nh4 Nce7 16.Bd2 Qc7 17.Qf2 c4 18.dxc4 Ne3 19.Bxe3 dxe3 20.Qf3 Qxc4 21.Ne4 Bc7 22.b3 Qd4 23.c3 Qb6 24.Kh1 Nd5 25.f5 Nf4 26.Rfd1 Kh8 27.Bf1 exf5 28.gxf5 Be5 29.Re1 Bd7 30.Rxe3 Bc6 31.Rae1 Nd5 32.Rd3 Nxc3 33.Ng6+ hxg6 with the advantage for Black 34.Qg4 Rf7?
( After 34...Rg8 Black is still somewhat better. )
35.Rh3+ Kg7 36.Bc4 Bd5
( 36...Bxe4+ doesn't help either. )
37.fxg6 Nxe4 38.gxf7+ Kf8 39.Rxe4 Bxe4+ 40.Qxe4 Ke7 41.f8=Q+ Rxf8 42.Qd5 Qd6 43.Qxb7+ Kd8 44.Rd3 Bd4 45.Qe4 Re8 46.Rxd4 1-0
