Mar-30-07		Marmot PFL: Euwe's first match win with black. 29...Rb4! is the winning move. He wins the b2 pawn and equally important protects his queenside pawns. 29...Rxd3 30.Rxd3 Rxd3 31.Rd1 Bd6 32.Bh3 etc. and white probably draws. In the first game of the rematch (1937) Euwe (with white) replaced 14.Nxe5 with Ne4! Euwe had seen this played at the Stockholm Olympiad but Alekhine was not there and was caught of guard.

Mar-16-08		Knight13: At least Euwe was smarter than Alekhine in this line as Black than that other game in this match.

Nov-03-10		soothsayer8: I don't understand Alekhine's 18. Bxe5 or 19. f4, it seems to me that this is where all of Alekhine's problems start, as Euwe is able to isolate all of Alekhine's pawns and pick up tempo with 19...Bd2 and 20...Rd4

Nov-03-10		DWINS: <soothsayer8>, In the book "Extreme Chess", Purdy doesn't have a problem with 18.Bxe5 or 19.f4. He says in a note right before move 18 that "Alekhine now proceeds, logically, with an attack". In the preface to the game he says, "After a slight error of judgment, Alekhine ventures upon a speculative attack as an alternative to losing the initiative". He points the finger at 15.a5? and gives 15.Qe3 "with about equal chances for both sides".
