| CapablancaFan: Maybe the pun for this game should have been called "KNIGHTmare". |
 |

| Nikita Smirnov: What a knight!Really good play with the knight.And still Alekhine Variation in Dutch is not so really good. |

| gmgomes: Fantastic game by Euwe; computers could not find the sacrifice, but is is sound. |

| RookFile: Well, mine found 21. Nxf5 Bxc3 22. Nxd6 Qb8 23. Nxe4 Bf6 24. Nd2 in 36 seconds. |

| whiteshark: <21.Nxf5> is Toga's first choice, the only move that give an advantage. Maybe the evaluation of 3 connected passed pawns in the center failed. |

| Riverbeast: Did black have to play 36...Qxe5? |

| kevin86: Although it can be said that Euwe is probably the least of champions (he won this match by one game,thab was trounced in the rematch of 1937 and then finished LAST in the 1948 tournament for Alekhine's vacant laurels) he played some brilliant chess at times. Here may be his best game ever! |
|

| RookFile: Well, 1948 was a full decade past his prime. |

| Discerning King: 30.Rg1!! thats a good MOVE |
|

| sunyata3: y couldnt euwe play 11. Bxb7 and win a rook |
|

|
| grasser: It wins an exchange, but seems to put White on defence.
See my post above for two lines.
Anyone have a better line for White after 11.Bxb7 ? |
|
| Oct-30-07 |
| RookFile: Grasser is quite right. |

| jovack: 20. ... Bf6
A good idea.. remove white's strong dark bishop, but he should have restrained a bit and prevented the knight from becoming so strong by securing the pawn.
After BxB, the NxP and the floodgates opened. |

| Knight13: Is 3...Bb4+ really necessary? This isn't Queen's Idian... Anyway, this is a true masterpiece. |

| Touchdown: 29.Nf3 is a mistake because it lets some good drawing chances to Black.
31... Qf6 is an error : Black has to play Qf5 32.exd7 (32.Ng5 h6 ! seems to be better for Black) Rxg1+ 33.Kxg1 Qxd7 and the game will certainly be drawn. |

 |
| al wazir: I don't understand 28...Rg8. Why did black leave his  en prise for five moves? Why did white not take it until move 33? Granted, several of black's moves created threats that required white's attention, but still . . . |

| Alphastar: <Xeroxx> that is not quite possible, considering chessgames.com has not been around for 8 years yet, which means it has existed for less than 2920 days. |

| kevin86: The e-pawn decided this game and provided the margin of victory for Euwe in this title match. Could Euwe be called "The Seabiscuit of chess"? A great underdog-or underhorse-wins a great solid victory. |

| mjmorri: <Knight13> <Is 3...Bb4+ really necessary? This isn't Queen's Idian...> Alekhine played this move quite frequently during this stage of his career. He really wants to play Be7, but first forces the White Bishop to the "inferior" d2 square. Reuben Fine did not have a very high opion of it though, and beat Alekhine from a similar position. Fine vs Alekhine, 1937 |
|
| Oct-20-08 |
| Pianoplayer: How did Alekhine not see 47.e4? I mean, really. |
|
| Oct-21-08 |
| mjmorri: <Pianoplayer> The game was over by then. |

| stoy: The "Pearl of Zandvoort" was started in Zandvoort but finished, after adjournment, in Amsterdam! A great game. |
