Feb-02-05		hjsukthankar: Dominating play by Keres.

Feb-02-05		ughaibu: Was Estonia occupied by nazis at the time? Euwe probably threw the game.

Feb-02-05		meloncio: <ughaibu> Yes, in 1940 Estonia was occupied ... but for the Stalin's Red Army, exactly 23 july 1940. The nazis came there one year after.

Feb-02-05		ughaibu: Maybe Euwe feared the "commies" even more.

Feb-02-05		hjsukthankar: This game was played in Amsterdam.

Feb-02-05		ughaibu: . . . . and. . . .

Feb-02-05		hjsukthankar: ...and why would an occupation of Estonia lead Euwe to throw a game to Keres?

Feb-02-05		ughaibu: Expansionism? Compassion?

Feb-02-05		hjsukthankar: Ok, that's one theory. My theory is that Keres just happened to outplay Euwe in this game.

Feb-02-05		ughaibu: I agree.
