Hello,
There is a new post on The Chess Mind. You can read it at:
http://chessmind.powerblogs.com/posts/1173935666.shtml
It begins:
Alexander Alekhine, the fourth world champion, was
a player so blessed with creativity, so richly
endowed with fantasy, that even games played in
simultaneous exhibitions were sometimes tactically
deep and rich. And so it was in the game
Alekhine-Hulscher (N.B. in Alekhine's My Best Games
of Chess, the opponent is called "Mindeno"), from a
1933 simul in Holland. Though just 17 moves long
(and the first nine moves are simple theory), the
heart of the game displays tactical complications
it took generations of commentators to finally get
right!...
