Alexander Alekhine vs Efim Bogoljubov (1929) (1209 words)
Bogoljubov was now getting the fighting chances that he was hoping for after playing 17...O-O-O. Next followed some real fireworks with both Bogoljubov and Alekhine sacrificing material.
Bogoljubov sacrificed a Knight at move 20 and Alekhine sacrificed a Pawn at move 24.
In summary, I think Bogoljubov was right in chosing 17.O-O-O. It may not have been the best move according to computer programs, but based on his style and abilities, it was probably his best chance to obtain counter chances.
