Nov-08-19  kostich in time: It is odd that there should be no comments on his. It is one of Kostic's best games. e6!!was a killing blow.
Jun-03-20  jerseybob: Well, let's get a thread going here! Isn't 19..Nb4 better than Euwe's 19..cxd5?

Jun-04-23  TichFreeman: The computer says Kostic played at 92.4% accuracy and Euwe 79%, but the idea that Kostić only played 92% accurately in this game seems silly. And even though Euwe only played 79% there's no painfully obvious blunder, he just gets gradually run over � move 26 he hasn't lost any material but the computer gives Kostić a 4.5-point edge, nearly an entire rook's worth.

Of course it is.

I used to keep a tub of caustic soda around for unblocking drains. That’s no lye.
