 Position after Black's 13th move!

1.e4 Nf6 Alekhine Defense 2.e5 Nd5  3.c4 Nb6  4.d4 e6!?  5.Nc3 Bb4 6.f4 d5 – new and paradoxical, yet not easily refuted – 7.c5 N6d7  8.Nf3 b6!  9.cxb6 axb6  10.Be2 (10.Bd3!) c5!? – Long-term Saarland Champion Otto Benkner recommended 10...Ba6(!) 

11.0-0 0-0  12.Be3 Nc6  13.Bd3!! ... – a trap: seems like a tempo loss after the next move ...

13... Ba6!?  14.Bxh7+!? First sacrifice Kh8? – Black feared: 14...Kh7 15.Ng5+ Kg6(?) 16.Qd3+ f5 17.Qg3+  18.Bxf5+ Kxf5 19.Qg5+ Ke8(?)  20.Nd5! or  19...Kg8(!) 20.Nd5 Be6! 21.Rc1! But simply: 15...Ng5!! 16.fg5 Bf1 17.Kf1! cd4 18.Bd4 Bc5: and White still has a lot of work ahead if he wants to win ...!

15.Ng5! g6(!)  16.Nf7+!?  Second sacrifice! For the gallery ... (16.Be1! Kg7 17.Qh4(!) ... 18.f5!)

16... Rf7:  17.Bg6: Rg7(!) (17...Re7? 18.Qh5+ Kg8 19.Rf3! Bf8(!) 20.f5! )

18.Qh5+ Kg8  19.Rf3! Bf8(!) (19...Qe7? 20.Bh3 Kf8 (20...Tg6? 21.Bh8!) 21.f5! Tg8 22.Bg5!).

20.f5!? (also 20.Rg3(!) Qc7 21.dc5: )

20... cd4:? – The losing move... more resistance 20...Sg6:(!) 21.fxg6: De8! 22.Rf6(!) cd4: 23.Bh6! or  20...fxg5(!) 21.Bf5: 21...Se7!

21.Bh3 Sg6:  22.fxg6: Kf8 – Now everything is forced. 

23.Qh8+ Tg8  24.Qg7+ Ke8  25.Qg8+:  – Black resigned after a few more harmless moves... (The simplest win 25...Kd7 was: 26.Qd8+! Rd8 27.Rh3!!).

 With all the help from Black – an amusing „firstling“!
