Game 7 in the book: Alekhine's win over Oscar Chajes at the International Tournament at Carlsbad, 1911. An English Opening annotated by Alekhine, who plays White.
2.e4After the text-move White can obtain a very good game by 3. Kt—K B 3, Kt—Q B 3; 4. P—Q 4, etc.
4…g6The right move here is: 4. ....Kt—Q 5 (as played in a game Alekhin—Leonhardt in the same tournament), after which Black obtains at least an even game. The text-move weakens the Black squares and White takes advantage of it in an energetic manner.
7.Ndb5This demonstrates the weakness of Black's fourth move. Now, in order to protect his Q 3, he must lose a tempo with his Bishop.
8…a6Black attempts to bring about complications which would turn to his advantage upon the slightest mistake on White's part.
11.Bxc4White has now a splendid development and threatens 12. Kt—Kt 5 (after possibly 11. ....Q—Kt 3) or 12. Castles K R with an attack on the K B file.
13.b4This combination, both elegant and sound, gives White a winning attack. The temporary sacrifice of two minor pieces for a Rook will allow the White Queen to enter decisively into the game.
