Oct-07-09  WhiteRook48: I think all Euwe and REti did was checkmate each other
Oct-14-09  Cercatore: Last 3 moves was a MASTERPIECE!!!
Jan-21-10  TheChessVids: Masterpiece from Euwe, particularly his lovely endgame tactic. I must say, this "Euwe Attack" seems intriguing.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Rather odd to see one of the pioneers of hypermodernism give himself an overextended center. Simply treating White's opening as a regular Exchange CK might improve--5...Bf5; 6.Bg2,e6; 7.Nf3,Nf6.
Feb-16-10  TheChessVids: "Euwe little genius",
"Euwe win this time", or even "The Euwe Attack" would have been better. Seriously, mad Max, Euwe won this game, and this "Euwe attack" is hardly mad. This is the only time it has ever been played at a high level, and white came out on top. I also made a video analysing this game:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCsl...
Feb-16-10  simonepierini: An Hypermodernist Euwe!!!
I didn't know this line of the Caro-Kann!!!
Feb-16-10  thegoldenband: <TheChessVids> Except that Euwe is pronounced something like "er-vuh" (or really "ör-vuh"), and not like the word "you".
Feb-16-10  shreyaslathi: i dont thnk he saw queen sac and ending tht far he just got pinned his rook made fair choice queen for 2 rooks !!! the mate line is really beautiful. this reminded me of karpovs demolition of topalav in 1994 linares.

  RandomVisitor: 6...Nf6 might lead to an early black advantage.
Feb-16-10  Yodaman: What can white do if 25. Nxd8?
Feb-16-10  Yodaman: Oh, I see. If 25. ...Nxd8 then 26. Bd4+ Ka8 (or b8) 27. Bb6 and black is a goner.
Feb-16-10  Yodaman: But, wait! After 25. ...Nxd8 26. Bd4+ Ka8 27. Bb6 black can play 27... gxh2+ 28. Kf2 Qd7 29. Rxd8+ Qxd8 30. Bxd8 31. h1=Q

I obviously missed something, but I don't see it. What are the best moves following 25. ...Nxd8?

Thanks.

Feb-16-10  Yodaman: Never mind, I found it: 25. ...Nxd8 26. Bd4+ Ka8 (if Kb8 then 27. Be5 and black loses his queen) 27.Nb6 Ka7 (if Kb8 then 28. Be5 and black loses his queen) 28. Nd5+ and black loses his queen anyways.

  kevin86: A neat finish:rook,knight,and bishop sack the enemy king. REDDOGGING in action!
Feb-16-10  desiobu: Besides the weak central pawns, if the bishop was on f5 instead of e6 some of white's tactical threats would be taken away, and black could better handle the exchanges in the center.

  RandomVisitor: The last chance for black to achieve equal chances <might> be 10...Qd7, preventing the immediate 11.d4:

Feb-16-10  tatarch: A knight on the rim is dim ... but not in this game
Feb-16-10  WhiteRook48: well, Reti beat Euwe like 4 times, so this is his revenge...
Feb-16-10  GMMandetowitch: 25-Tdd8 was the sort of brilliant beautiful move which the player with the black pieces is likely to overlook.Amazing game by Euwe,altough the opening moves can look a bit weird for modern day chess,there was nothing wrong with them at all.I'm a big fan of this game ! ;)

  sevenseaman: A rare game powered by clear thought.
Dec-19-10  eightbyeight: It could also have happened the other way around: 29. ... Kb8 30. Bd6+ Ka(c)8 31. Nxb6#.
Mar-05-11  Atking: I love it! I'm sure Reti applaud too. Euwe played it brillantly and with an Hypermodern mind!

  Wyatt Gwyon: The more Euwe games I go over, the more I feel he's underrated. His sense of strategy was profound.
Mar-06-11  Atking: Underrated by many maybe because he was by nature, a modest man <Wyatt Gwyon>
