Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-25-07  kevin86: This game looked like a "rest game" for both players. After decisions in six of the first eight games,it looked like both players were not in the mood for a fight.
Apr-08-08  Knight13: 35...Rxd2+ 36. Kxd2 Nc4+ 37. Rxc4 Rxc4 is a very clean draw.
Apr-08-08  RookFile: Euwe was very strong in Slav type games with either color.
