| Sep-16-09 | | Hesam7: <Boomie: Given the murkiness of this line, perhaps black has an improvement. 18...h6 looks promising.> Could it not be the case that 24. Rc1?? was the only major mistake of the game? Also after 18. ... h6 19. Bxh6 gxh6 20. Qc1: 
click for larger viewI don't think you can judge the position without detailed examination. It is just too sharp for low depth engine analysis. |

| Sep-16-09 | | Hesam7: <OhioChessFan: Tim Krabbe's site has an interesting story about this game: http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/... > I went looking for this (if you follow the link it takes you to the most recent entry in Krabbe's site not the one related to this game) and it was worth it. By the way it is item #312. |

 | | whiteshark: The whole idea of pushing the f-pawn probably doesn't suit the positional needs. |
|

| | whiteshark: <sanyas: Bronstein preferred 22...Rc4> Did he give any lines after that move? |

 | | Stonehenge: < andymac: Best. Pun. Ever. Why have we not seen it before? Even if in Dutch it's "Game Ow-er".> I'm Dutch and I can assure you there are *no* puns possible on 'Euwe' :) |

| Sep-16-09 | | ounos: Another well-known gem from the legendary Zurich '53. Great stuff. |

 | | kevin86: White overextended his attack and paid dearly 4 it. |

 | | Jimfromprovidence: I have seen no comments about 22...Qd5.
click for larger view It's a prosaic move compared to the spectacular 22...Rh8 or the technical 22...Rc4, but it might objectively be the best of all of them. It forces 23 Re4 and after 23...Rc6 (seeing 24 Rae1,) then, after 24...Re6, below, black looks OK.

| Sep-16-09 | | WhiteRook48: normally with Qxh7+ black is blasted off the board |
|
| Sep-16-09 | | lzromeu: <MaczynskiPratten:> Great comment. thanks.
22Rh8 is really unmazing move. Fatal counteratack. |
|
| Sep-16-09 | | Eggman: One of the best puns Euwe? |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: If the pun seems familiar, look here: Vidmar vs Euwe, 1929 |

| Sep-16-09 | | chillowack: <andymac: Best. Pun. Ever. Why have we not seen it before? Even if in Dutch it's "Game Ow-er".> I heard "Euwe" was pronounced sort of like "Er-ver," is that not correct? It's this pronunciation that makes me love the pun--because for once, the pun is based on the *actual* pronunciation of the player's name, rather than an "Americanization", as we have too often seen. |

I once tried to teach a German girl Dutch with the pronunciation exercise <Tante Trui uit de Spuistraat fruit huilend de uitjes in het tuinhuis>. Before we could move on to the <eu> however, she escaped and was never seen again. |

 | | SuperPatzer77: Euwe's brilliant move is 22...Rh8!!!! O' Divine!! What a counterplay by Black!! 23. Qxh8 Rc2!, 24. Rc1 Rxg2+, 25. Kf1 Qb3! (preventing 26. Be3 and stronger than 25...Qa2), 26. Ke1 Qf3! (White has no defense against the inevitable checkmate) 0-1 If Max Euwe were alive, I'd have bought Max Euwe and myself Amstel Light beer imported from Holland and said to him "Cheers to Max Euwe". :-D SuperPatzer77 |
|
| Aug-14-10 | | sevenseaman: Very clever! |
|
| Dec-25-11 | | talisman: <SuperPatzer77> you are right. the counterattack plan starts on move 16 however. This game won a brilliancy also. |

 | | RookFile: An excellent counter-attack and great play by Euwe. |
|
| Jun-25-13 | | talisman: after 21 moves it looks like black is crumbling...the his 22nd comes! |

|
| Sep-03-14 | | Mating Net: While this game will always be about one of the best moves of all time 22...Rh8!! there is an under rated quiet move that makes it possible, 11...Ne8. Black protects his dark squares after he exchanged off his dark squared Bishop. If not for this move, Black gets mated and 22...Rh8!! does not occupy its place in chess history. |
|
| Nov-12-14 | | tranquilsimplicity: Indeed. Rh8!! is the move of the game. Game Euwe.# |
|

 | | thegoodanarchist: 22...Rh8 is a move of startling beauty. |
