This particular game,
http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1013180,  several 
Black moves after the agreed-on brilliancy Move 21 are but average. Black's
Moves 24, 27, 28, 29 and 31 are all third-choice move to what is available
each time. Alekhine seems to facilitate the White pawn advance, seeing
phantom attacks pending of White pieces.

Fortunately Move 24 ...g5 is the worst of the series. White's three Rook, Rook, even Queen are all buried in the background. Instead let the two White Pawns free in the middle try to earn their farther space. Corrected '24...B-d4' leaves King protected, offers space for Black's three majors not one of White's three have, and makes advantage Black.

Equally, even given the intervening errors, revised '31 ...Q-e4' should solve any Black problem, pinning the Knight.
