| zdigyigy: 22...Rh8 and whites' queen can no longer contest the light squares...Beautiful Bishops of Opposite Color struggle. Very instructive. |

| MaczynskiPratten: I first saw this game many years ago in "Chess with the Masters" by Martin Beheim and Leonard Barden, a book whose annotations really caught the spirit of the game for me. The introduction was; "The unity of defence and attack is nowhere so clearly shown as in this game. Black, in a position apparently irrevocably lost, retaliates with such sudden violence that one would like to name this magnificant battle 'the Drumbeat Symphony'". After White's move 22;
"However, Black now lands a punch which upends the game with one stroke; he sacrifices a Rook just to gain access to c2. In retrospect, the simple 22..Rc4 would have been more correct; but such sacrifices give a tremendous psychological shock to the opponent." After identifying 24 d5! as a possible improvement, the telling comment;
"However, it is a different manner to analyse in one's study than to find the right move at the board with the clock ticking away". And at the end of the game, "This is not only a piece of clever tactics; it is a work of art." |

| kooley782: Amazing counterattack. Just when Geller thinks he's won the game, Euwe lashes back and shows that a position is never lost until checkmate. A delight! |
|
| Sep-03-09 |
| AnalyzeThis: I kind of appreciate Geller's play in this game, even though he lost. No 'high fallutin' nonsense from him: let's just sit down and blow the ex-champion right off the board. Almost worked, too! |

| andymac: Best. Pun. Ever. Why have we not seen it before? Even if in Dutch it's "Game Ow-er". |

| An Englishman: Good Morning: Until Morozevich vs M Vachier Lagrave, 2009,
I thought Euwe's 22...Rh8 was the most impossible-looking Rook move in chess history. Call me old-fashioned, but it's still pretty bloody well spectacular. |

| chessgames.com: For the record, this pun was submitted by SwitchingQuylthulg. It placed only 76th in our 2009 Pun Contest and therefore just wins nothing more than this honorable mention. |

| 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:

| 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? |

| 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.

| 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. |

| sneaky pete: Reuze leuk, jeuk amme neus en de hele reutemeteut.
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. |
