 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: 35.Bc3! Quite a good defensive resource, presumably what Black missed when he sacrificed the Exchange on Move 30. |
|
Apr-27-09 | | apple pi: This is an open Catalan, not an exchange Slav. |
|
Apr-27-09 | | Andrijadj: Nice pun... |
|
Apr-27-09 | | vonKrolock: <8.♘bd2> Considering that white's victory is not to be credited to the opening phase, maybe better 8.dxc5 as played by Taimanov, Karpov and others - at least unbeaten so far in the base... <14.♕c4> And now 14.♘f3 first, to impeach a virtual e6-e5 as in the actual sequence <18...e4>! This is already a dream center <26...♘f6>?! Giving white a chance for active play with the ♗♗s after the exchange of ♕♕s |
|
Apr-27-09 | | vonKrolock: <30.♗b4!>  click for larger view black can not avoid an exchange loss |
|
Apr-27-09 | | vonKrolock: <30...♘e4> or 30...d3 31.♗xd3! ♖d7 32.♗g6! etc |
|
Apr-27-09 | | vonKrolock: <35.♗c3>!  click for larger view Deserves a diagram - the ♖ in c1 is tabu - take g7 check, discovered check and ♖xe8 would follow |

 | | ray keene: the brief notes- to be fair-shd be credited to professor nathan divinsky who sent them to me , rather than myself. |
|
Apr-27-09 | | vonKrolock: Well, the game alone is already a gift, a chessical delicatesse, many thanks - to correct also the spelling <Golembeck> hopefully |
|

 | | Benzol: Only just uploaded and GOTD already! Good going. Just one niggle though, one might ask who "Golembeck" is? |

Apr-27-09 | | gtgloner: VonKrolock - have a look at this site:

Apr-27-09 | | TheaN: Crushing final position. I don't think Euwe is going to avoid complete simplification: <41....Kg5 42.Rxe5 Rxe5 (42....d2? 43.Rxe8 exf1=Q† 44.Kxf1 ) 43.Bxe5 d2 44.Re1 > On anything else Black could capture twice on e5:
<42.Rxe5† Rxe5 43.Bxe5 Kxe5 44.Rxf2 exf2 45.Kxf2 > ...but this pawn ending is clearly won. The final 15 moves of this game are pretty neat by Golombek. |

Apr-27-09 | | Chessmensch: Is there anything compelling about 23.a5? Seems like a move for the sake of having to move? |
|
Apr-27-09 | | vonKrolock: <Euwe won all other games in this tournament!> Sooner or later his games from this event shall appear, like his win with black vs Donner <1.d4 ♘f6 2.c4 e6 3.♘c3 ♗b4 4.a3 ♗xc3+ 5.bxc3 c5 6.e3 b6 7.♗d3 ♗b7 8.♘f3 ♘e4 9.O-O f5 10.♗b2 O-O 11.a4 ♘c6 12.♘e1 ♘a5 13.♘c2 ♖c8 14.♘a3 ♕g5 15.g3 ♖f6 16.♕e2 ♖h6 17.f4 ♕g6 18.♗xe4 ♗xe4 19.♖ad1 ♖h3 20.♖f2 ♕xg3+ 21.♔f1 ♖h4 22.dxc5 ♕h3+ 23.♔e1 ♖g4 resigns> |

Apr-27-09 | | bengalcat47: For one of Golombek's most impressive wins, check out Golombek vs. Brown, London, 1949. |
|
Apr-27-09 | | hedgeh0g: Even bullet-time couldn't save max in the final position... |
|
Apr-27-09 | | Dredge Rivers: Hey, what's the matter with Euwe? |
|
Apr-27-09 | | WhiteRook48: too many pins |
|
Apr-30-09 | | DarthStapler: Bad pun |
