Game 94 in the book: Dr. Fleissig and Messrs. Ap. and H. Staehelin–Alekhine, a Scotch Game played in a séance of four consultation games at Basle in March 1922.

1. 4…Bc5 This move is more ancient and on the whole less certain than 4. ....Kt—B 3, which leads to equality, but on the other hand it has the advantage of engendering more lively variations.
2. 5…Bb6 Introduced by Lasker against Mieses at St. Petersburg, 1909, in place of the usual continuation up till then, 5. ....Q—B 3; 6. P—Q B 3, K Kt—K 2. It should be remarked that Blumenfeld's move 6. Kt—Kt 5 (instead of 6. P—Q B 3) is inadequate, on account of the following variation: 6. ....B x B; 7. P x B, Q—R 5 ch; 8. P—Kt 3, Q x K P; 9. Kt x P ch, K—Q 1; 10. Kt x R, Q x R; 11. Q—Q 6, Kt—B 3!; 12. Kt—Q 2, Kt—K 1; 13. Q—R 3, Q x P; 14. Castles, Q x P, with advantage to Black.
3. 6.c3 But in the present position this move is no longer necessary, and merely obstructs the best square of development for the Q Kt. He should play 6. Kt—Q B 3, K Kt—K 2; 7. B—K 2 followed by 8. Q—Q 2 and later Castles Q R with a very fine game (Spielmann—Dr. Tarrasch, Breslau, 1912).
4. 9…f5 The opening of the K B file yields Black an initiative of long duration, without any ill results.
5. 11.Re1 The command of the King-file, however, is only of little value for White, as we shall recognize later on. But even after 11. Kt x B, Kt x Kt; 12. B x B, R P x B, White would remain with the inferior game.
6. 11…Nxd4 A simplifying exchange.
7. 12…Bxd4 Not 12. ....P—B 4; 13. B—K 3, P—Q 4 on account of 14. B—K Kt 5.
8. 13…Kh8 Black was threatened with 14. Q—Kt 3 ch followed by 15. Q x P.
9. 14…c6 Preventing 15. P—Q 5, followed by the manoeuvre of White's Knight with the square K 6 as an objective.
10. 16…Qf6 Black mobilizes all his available forces before unleashing an attack against the weak points of the hostile position (K B 2 and K Kt 2).
11. 17.Bd3 In order to exchange the dangerous Knight should Black play 17. ....B—Kt 5 immediately.
12. 17…Nf4 A forcing move.
13. 18.Bc2 This allows Black to force the win in a few moves. 18. B x B was somewhat better, although in this case also Black's attack must inevitably end in victory.
14. 18…Bg4 18. ....Q—Kt 3 would be inadequate against 19. Kt—R 4!
15. 19.Rce3 Now White finds himself defenceless against the next manoeuvre.
16. 19…Nh3+ The decisive manoeuvre.
17. 20…Qh4 The only move which forces an immediate win. 20. ....Kt—Kt 4 would be insufficient, on account of 21. Q—Q 3!, P—K Kt 3; 22. B—Q 1.
18. 21.Qe2 Or 21. Q—Q 2, B x Kt; 22. R x B, R x R; 23. P x R, Kt—B 5 and wins. If 21. P—K Kt 3, Q—R 4 followed by 22. ....Kt—Kt 4.
19. 21…Qh5 Threatening 22. ....Kt—Kt 4 and 22. ....Kt—B 5, against which White is defenceless.
20. 23…Nxg2 If now 24. K x Kt, Q—R 6 ch; 25. K—Kt 1, B x Kt; 26. R x B, R x R; 27. Q—K 8 ch, R—B 1 and wins.
