Jul-14-07  kevin86: I find that the 25th move by white is comical. It looks like he castled out of habit-as there are no white pieces within three ranks of the king.

White DID win the game-so I'm not complaining.

Mar-15-08  Knight13: 11. Qh3 is the best.
Oct-30-10  soothsayer8: <kevin86> I think white wished more to deliver the check to the black king than castle, plus, with the king on that side, it's a bit closer to the passed pawns.
Aug-13-11  4tmac: 13...RxP! 14♘xR PxP 15♕h5+
Dec-15-12  DanielBryant: Having the rooks connected allowed White to recapture with the rook on move 27. Doing so with the bishop would quite obviously be inferior.
Apr-04-15  pjanda: 32 ... Rc8? loses (32... Ke6, 33. h6 Rf7 - and White could fight for survive)

  Sally Simpson: The games in this match were played at various locations.

This game was played in the girls school where Euwe was a teacher. The school's pupils were rotated at 10 minute intervals to watch the game from the front row.
