| Mar-29-04 | | SerpentSin: Whats wrong with 19... Bxb4? |
|
| Mar-29-04 | | AgentRgent: After 19...Bxb4 follows 20. Nb3 Qc7 21. Qe4 Bd6 22. Qd4 and Black has to start giving pawns to save his piece. (i.e. 22...g5 23. Bxg5 f6 24. Bh6 Rd8 25. Qxa7) |
|
| Aug-30-04 | | AdrianP: "It was all over in less than three hours. Alekhine did not allow me to unravel my forces and very convincingly crushed my position. There was no struggle: I was deprived of all counter-chances, and my opponent simply inflicted an execution on me." (Euwe) |

| Sep-17-04 | | Knight13: 24... Qa5 is not a well move followed by 25... Qe1+?. |

 | | beatgiant: <24... Qa5 is not a well move followed by 25... Qe1+?.> The position was already bad. White has full control of the center, Black's knight is pinned, and White can increase the pressure with various simple attacks like ♘c4 or ♕d2 or ♕f5 . It looks like White will at least win a pawn in the near future. For example, if 24... ♖d8 25. ♕f5 ♗d6 26. ♕e6+ followed by ♘f5 looks strong. |
|
| Sep-18-04 | | Calli: Alekhine and Euwe give 19...Bxb4!? 20.Nb3 Qc7 21.Qe4 Bc3 22.Rc1 Bb2 23.Rc2 g5 24.Bxg5 Ba3 and White has the advantage but Black is much better than in the game. Euwe's 17...Qa5? is the troublemaker here. 17...Qb6! is recommended. |
|
| Oct-16-07 | | pacelli: Actually the real troublemaker was 8...e5? It allowed a long term pin which Alehine expertly piled on the pressure. |
|
| Oct-16-07 | | DWINS: Purdy calls 11...Be6? "the root cause of Black's difficulties". He goes on to say that Vidmar's simple untying move 11....f6! is entirely adequate and references Capablanca vs Vidmar, 1929 and Capablanca vs Dake, 1931 He also doesn't like 16...Rxd1+? and says that 16...Qb6! is worth considering. |
|
| Aug-04-13 | | TheTamale: I agree with <pacelli> above. Perhaps Black's subsequent play could have been improved, but this move seems unnecessarily troublesome. |

 | | offramp: Euwe defends very well after the opening, where I think nerves GOT TO him. Against a lesser player his stubbornness might have proved successful, but Alekhine found the best way of continuing his initiative. |

| Oct-03-21 | | Catur Proklamasi: Greetings from the city of Pontianak - Indonesia, my country. This was Alekhine vs Euwe's first match in a World Championship Match in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and Alekhine won. At the end of this world championship Alekhine lost . And today, October 3, 2021, exactly 86 years ago, this World Championship has just begun. Be the first to remember the anniversary of this world championship. Be the first to remind this first party Birth Day Next year in commemoration of this World Championship, let's go to Amsterdam on a Lufthansa plane. Why ? Why not KLM?
Because Germany's Lufthansa is the best and greatest airline in all of Europe. Great Lufthansa! |

What a great idea and Lufthansa = super safety record! |

| Jan-29-22 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: 30...Re8 31. Qd5 and mates shortly.
28. Rxe5 b6 29. Qc4+ Kh8 30. Qf7 also mates quickly. Without playing the Zwischenzug Nf5, trying to win the e-pawn would be a mistake: 25. Bxe5 fxe5 26. Rxe5 Qe1+ 27. Kg2 Qxf2+
Why didn't Euwe play 14...a6 or 16...Qb8 ? |

|
| Apr-17-25 | | tbontb: Alekhine expertly exploits an initiative, working with small tactical blows (19.b4) and superior activity to pick holes in Euwe's shaky defence. The final mistake is 21....f6 (slightly better ....g5), after which the direct mating threats against the weakened K position are sufficient to force resignation. |
