Kibitzer's Corner
Jun-26-06  WMD: World champion Euwe lost two games in the Stockholm Olympiad, which ended just 7 weeks before his return match with Alekhine. One was blundered away from a winning position (Euwe vs Lilienthal, 1937), but here he collapses under direct attack. I can't understand why he consented to 28...exf5. Even on general principles, it smells terrible.
Jun-26-06  Hesam7: At that point Euwe is in real trouble 28... Rc1 looks like a saving resource. Here is a possible line:
