Hi KC, there is a very nice comment to this game by Dr. Helmut Pfleger. It was part of his series about the most beautiful games of chess history. Unfortunately (for you) the comment is in german, but still you can see some very interesting lines you might have missed. If you are interested, I could probably try to translate it for you. (Tried to enter a link to the game, but it didnt work. Just search for "Pfleger chess Reti" and you should find it easily).
@Streaker77 I think there is the idea that Alekhine may have play acted as if the game was a draw by repetition, to eventually provoke a break in the potential 3-fold repetition when White played Bh1. Allowing then black the start of the "hack attack" with h5!
do you think it is even possible for alekhine to have seen all these variations? especially all the way to that ending combination forking the rook and knight?
Nice video. Incidentally, I think it would be much more interesting if games were routinely recorded not just with the moves made, but also with the time taken for each move. I'm sure much strategy is missed out on with just plain move notations.
@kingscrusher 'There is an interesting story about this game that Alekhine on the 19th move claimed a draw by 3 fold repetition. The claim was incorrect but the idea was Alekhine knowing reti would, for the sake of accuracy, contest it and would feel obliged to not repeat bg2 for the third time...' This was the intro to this game in a book which is also my 1st book on chess. Hope you found it interesting.
Hi KC.... The name Jose Raul Capablanca is pronounced "ho-se" "ra-ool" "capablanca". I hope I am not sounding pedantic.. I mentioned Just in case you would like to know the correct Spanish pronunciation. Thanks for the videos.

When Re3 is played,why can it not be taken by the pawn on f2?
dynamic chess is ingenious chess.
11:51 when Nd5xe3 white can have Qxf7+, then Ng5+ and Nxh3, can't they? And if black don't take the white queen, then Nh4 keeps g2 protected
ooh yesssss
@herbertkaufmann Check analysis on chessgames - apparently qxf7 kh8 nh4 rf8!

Re3 threatens Rxg3 as well, followed by Black's plan of Qxg3.. Nf3 is forced there
ce3
I was rather amused by the range of ways of pronouncing "Alekhine" :)
