On move 61 Euwe should have played kxc5, getting the pawn, and clearing a space for his bishop to play defense. Instead he tries to trade off his bishop. What a pity for the blunder. Such a well founght game.

Apr-12-04		Calli: Yes, you are right (although I think you meant move 71 not 61). Euwe, in fact, should win with 71.Bg6 and Bd3.
