Magorian has kibitzed 5 times to chessgames

Jun-09-08 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935   Magorian: 17... c5 seems not so strong. I like 17... Bc5 better i.e. 18.Rh4 Rfe8! 19.Qc1 (19.Nge4 Be7) Nxd5 20.Bd3 Nf6 with at least an even game.      Jun-05-08 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935    Magorian: Some sources give 28.a6 a ! After 28... Qxb7 (28... Nb6? is just bad) 29.axb7 Rb8 30.Rfb1 Nb6 31.Bb4 Rc4 32.Rxa7 (Alekhine) white is indeed winning. However 30... Rc6! with the idea of Rb6 seems a lot stronger. White is still better but not so much. 28.a6! should be 28.a6?! or ...      May-28-08 Morozevich vs Movsesian, 2008    Magorian: 26... Rd7 wasn't the best. But after the stronger 26... Qf4! white probably also has a winning advantage after 27.Nxg7 Nxg7 28.Re7 Ne6 29.Rxb7 Ra4 30.Qc3 Nd4 31.Kh1 Ra2 32.Rd1 Rxb2 33.Qxb2. It seems to me that sacrificing the knight was fully correct! All though 25.Rc2 also seems ...      May-27-08 Botvinnik vs Euwe, 1934    Magorian: 21... Ne4 was probably stronger (22.Qd1 Rae8 or 22.Qc2 Rc7).      Sep-17-06 McDonnell vs La Bourdonnais, 1834    Magorian: After 25.Rc2, instead of 25... Qe3+ black can go for 25... Ba6!? 26.Qxa6 e4! for instance 27.Rf2 Bg5 28.Bd7 Be3 29.Rdf1 Qg5 with a dangerous attack.
