Jan-18-15  MariusDaniel: It's cool!
Jan-10-17  razetime: The best continuation was 7..Nc5 but no.
The decisive blunder was 8..Be7. You could freely Resign. Best was Bd7.
Otherwise, after 9. Nc6 bxc6 10. Bxc6 and it's a rook for a bishop. But NN wanted to suffer, and he killed the game with Qd6?? and the king was history.
Jan-10-17  WorstPlayerEver: Mate in 26 moves. Check it out!
Feb-23-17  MrJafari: It is for the first time that I see here a player lose a game this way!
Feb-23-17  sudoplatov: Euwe was about 10 at the time.
