| Mar-05-03 | | Cyphelium: On 9. - Na6 10. Na4 Qb4 11. Qxb4 black plays 11.- Nxb4 of course. As for your other suggestion I really don't know what to say. ;-) |
 |
| Jan-23-04 | | Dick Brain: Reti was breathing fire that day. He looked more like Adolf Andersson than a typical 1 Nf3 woodpusher. drunknight II you're suggesting being down Rook and 3P for Queen in an early middlegame? That's not going to be very pleasant. |

| Apr-30-04 | | Lawrence: Reti smashes Euwe in 17 moves with a double Rook sacrifice. Analyzed at Jon Edwards's http://www.queensac.com/chessblog/b... |
|
| Apr-30-04 | | iron maiden: The final few moves remind me a little of Anderssen's Immortal Game. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: Double Rook sac was Reti's routine playing Max Euwe.:-) See Euwe vs Reti, 1920 |
|
| Apr-30-04 | | Calchexas: This feels very much like the Immortal Game. The double rook sac, the bishop trade... |
|
| Jan-16-05 | | aw1988: A sharp dutch smash, with the honorable Max Euwe as the victim. |

| Jul-13-06 | | offramp: All the games between these two are interesting: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... |
|
| Dec-30-06 | | Rubenus: Could Crafty analyse the game from move 13? Or does anyone know if 13...d6 is forced (and black's next few moves)? |

|
| Apr-29-09 | | WhiteRook48: Euwe went totally wrong |
|
| Jul-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: this is proof that the Dutch is a bad opening choice |
|
| Oct-13-09 | | Cercatore: Reti really hate his rooks. |

Utter nonsense, I'm afraid, and yet it remains a widely held opinion: see the kibitzing when Timmermann played a Leningrad Dutch against the CG 'World'. 1...f5 is admittedly a bit naive, as it lets White lash out with 2.e4 or 2.g4, or play anti-Dutch systems like 2.Bg5 (more dangerous than it looks). So it's better for Black to play 1...e6 or ...d6 or ...g6, with 2...f5 to follow. You have to be happy with a transposition to a French, Pirc or Modern, of course. Black can also reach classical Dutch positions in other ways, such as via the Nimzo-Indian: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 Ne4 5.Qc2 f5, analyzed in Dangerous Weapons: the NID. What's wrong is grabbing pawns in a way that gives White a huge development advantage and leaves Black with weaknesses, which happened here. When white played 5.f3 Black should not assist him by capturing: both 5...d5 and 5...e3 are better than ...exf3. Andrew Martin did a lot of analysis -- articles, book, video/DVD -- on these anti-Dutch gambit lines in the 1990s, and concluded that Black can survive and frequently get an advantage. Even here, though, the double rook sac should probably lead to a draw. Euwe's 13...d6 is a mistake. |

 | | sevenseaman: <Max> just kept walking up the garden path, enjoying the serendipity and thinking everything was hunky dory. Aah! What a shattering disillusionment!
To think <Reti> was never a World Champion! The pun is sublime. |

| | sevenseaman: Notice that it is important that at the 18th White move the B checks from c7 rather than e7. |

 | | kevin86: Reti or not-here I come!
A good attack with a two-rook sac. As the queen bbecame inactive for black-it was an unfair trade:two rooks for a queen and a few tempi as well. Could we ALMOST not call that a sacrifice? |

I can't help you, old chap: I lose to Crafty End Game Trainer with either variation. Link to the position at move 11 (White plays 11.Nxd5):

 | | coconut: To me 13...d6 just looked dumb, even before I watched Réti's winning combination. Yet, I am a far weaker player than Euwe, and I assume I'm missing something that makes it look attractive. Any ideas, please? My pet engine (bless its, um, source) can only share an AI's view: "he just willingly went from a +0.40 position to a +7.75." |

 | | maxi: At the time of this game Euwe was only 19, while Reti was at the height of his career (by the way, RR died when he was only forty years old). This game should be understood in this context. Same goes for the companion game where RR sacrifices both rooks against, yes, Euwe, the same year. (I guess Euwe had to be explained everything twice.) Can you can say that Euwe was an amateur? Or very close to being one? He would then be the strongest amateur in history and the only one that made wch, too. |
