Oct-05-08		Monoceros: Up to the 33rd move this is Game 24 from <The Road to Chess Mastery> by Max Euwe and Walter Meiden, which contains analyses of twenty-five games between amateur or expert players and masters. No names are given but I'm fairly sure that all the games are Euwe's. In the book, though, Black plays 33...Kb8, puts up a bit less of a fight--White keeps the queenside passed pawns, while in this score he loses them--and winds up mated on the 49th move. I suppose Euwe thought that the alternative line would be more instructive, although it's a little odd that he'd rewrite a game to go worse for himself.

Feb-02-09		Sam K: Monoceros, I'm not seeing what you are saying? What do you mean by "...winds up mated on the 49th move..."? Here, there is not even a check on move 49 by either white or black! You've got my curiosity up though about that book you mention .. By "..in the book" would you be meaning instead the book "Chess Master vs. Chess Amateur" (1994) with the same author names? Of course, Manuel Aaron however was no amateur (as I read on Wikipedia online).

Dec-12-22		generror: <Monoceros> From what I know from Euwe (not much tbh), I'm not wondering so much that he rewrites a game to go worse for himself, but that he does that without saying so. He seemed to have been extremely correct. One thing I like about him is that in his later years, he mainly seems to have served as opponent for upcoming masters to lose against, thus creating notable games. Like Bronstein and many other masters who went on playing for ages. I say this with respect and awe. Those guys really loved and lived the game.

Jun-13-23		FSR: I guess Euwe was skeptical about the Indian guy's ability to win with an extra rook?
