Jun-04-07		micartouse: In the final ending, white can't get the h-pawn without giving up the e-pawn. No real progress is possible if Black holds tight.

Aug-17-07		kevin86: In this case,I think it was an advantage for Alekhine had a rook pawn in the ending. Euwe has no real place to attack it. Tempo moves are useless and there is no way to chase the black king from g7. A pawn exchange would result in a stone-cold draw.

Aug-17-07		Calli: Reshevsky claims an unusual win for Euwe by protecting e3 with the bishop at g1 thusly 37.hxg5 hxg5 38.Bh2 Bd5 39.Bg1 The rest is left to the student ;->

Mar-26-08		Knight13: Yes, kevin, but the bigger reason is that the pawn being on opposite color of his own bishop and opponent's made this drawing coordination possible.
