Euwe's Most Brilliant Victory Over Alekhine - Best of the 30s - Euwe vs. Alekhine, 1935

[@seasideman]

A brilliant game by Euwe, thanks for breaking it down so clearly. I agree that Euwe deserves a better reputation. I mean: he was world champion and beat Alekhine, what more do you need! He was also a fine correspondence player, I believe.

[@MrSupernova111]

I believe he had a real career as well unlike many other world champs.

[@ysbrandd]

@@MrSupernova111 yeah he had a phd in mathematics if I remember correctly

[@MrSupernova111]

What an absolute stunner of a game!!!! Bro, I mentioned this before but I have been following chess for many years and NOBODY reviews game better than you! This game was a real beauty and each time I watch one of your videos I feel that I learn a lot. Thank you so much and I hope your channels grows exponentially! Cheers!!!

[@kostya09987]

I always see Euwe losing, so thanks for bringing light to Euwes contributions to chess

[@amosdraak3536]

Yeah, man. He’s like everyone’s least favorite Champ. Chess School is like the only channel I’ve seen that’s shown actually a good number of his wins. Cheers ✌🏻✌🏻

I know this game well from my youth. It is known in Holland as the Pearl of Zandvoort. Euwe was in my opinion one of the greatest players because he was an amateur, who was most of the time a school teacher. Reshevsky was an accountant and Taimanov a concert pianist. Fischer, who is supposed to have been the greatest, never actually did anything else except rant about the Jews. I think the presenter does a good job of annotating this game by narration.

You will improve quickly watching this channel. My peak rating is 2100+ and been following chess for many years. This is by far the best channel I've found so far. Good luck with your chess!!

One of the best positional games I have seen in a long time

Hi Sam, Thanks for paying attention to this famous game. Instead of 29.Nf3 both Euwe himself and Tartakower indicate directly 29.Qh3 as the better move. (Euwes analysis is to be found in the biography written by Alexander Münninghof, and Tartakower wrote during this match analyses for a Dutch newspaper.) Euwe blames Alekhines 38...h6 on time-pressure.

Thanks!!

[@Cleisthenes2]

and, just like that, it was Euwe

[@petersiegfriedkrug]

Excellent video.

[@amosdraak3536]

Good game. Nice play by Euwe and cool-headedness. I’ve heard the game had its flaws mostly, as happens in long matches, because of fatigue and such. In the interview after the match (which is on YT) Alekhine said he was happy that of all people who could’ve become the World Champ, it was Euwe who did. Not Alekhine’s best play, especially that final falter, but still an excellent and insightful analysis and overview by you, Teach. 💯💯👌 I’m shaking to see #1! 😨😳 Cheers ✌🏻✌🏻

With Botvinnik - Capablanca 1938 being #3 and this game being #2, im really wondering what the #1 is, will it be an underrated correspondence game?

[@arturoxavierpachecovaladez5772]

!Excelente!

[@amyyang2857]

Very amazing

[@kamkam3905]

The origin of the word “pwned”

[@JHarder1000]

What will #1 be? will you go for a game by a famous GM (Kashdan/Flohr Hamburg 1930, Fine/Botvinnik A.V.R.O 1938, or will it be more 'deep cut" I can't wait.

[@gmnotyet]

Euwe-Keres match game where Keres give up Q for RB is missing, too.

[@JHarder1000]

@@gmnotyet That was in 1940. It is in in Copeland's top ten for the forties.

@@JHarder1000 Thanks, thought that was 30s. NOW I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT #1 IS.

Great!

Ouch!

After ...Nxc3 why didn't Euwe take the bishop on b7?

I got it! Lilienthal versus Ragozin, Moscow 1936! Am i right?
