Nf3 [...] An amazing brilliancy by the blindfolded and wounded Alekhine quickly showing Von Feldt the dangers of passive play in this game played in a Polish hospital in 1916. Alekhine had been wounded and concussed as a Red Cross driver in World War I, but yet was still able to produce this memorable masterpiece.
