{The Dutch enigma Max Euwe (1901 - 1985, World Champion 1935 - 1937) was
always underestimated by the chess world - except possibly in his native
Holland. He was never keen to join the club of professional players and
preferred to make his living through the less ambitious but more stable job of
professor of mathematics. His chess talent became evident at quite an early
age, but by staying inside amateur circles he excluded himself from the list
of serious candidates for the World Championship title. Apart from that, how
could anyone launch a real challenge without impressive tournament victories?
That is why when Euwe eventually decided to give it a try this was greeted
sceptically by the chess public. In view of Alekhine's magnificent results in
the early thirties nobody could believe that the Dutchman could assume
anything but cannon fodder for the champion. Alekhine obviously shared this
categorical point of view, although Euwe did usually get exceptionally good
results against one player - Alexander Alekhine. A first match, played in 1927,
just before Alekhine's triumph over Capablanca, ended with a very modest
advantage for the Russian - 5.5:4.5 (+3, -2, =5) - after Alekhine hoodwinked
his opponent in the very suspicious 10th game. Their tournament encounters
also didn't convincingly prove Alekhine's superiority. Only in the rematch in
1937, with the help of scrupulous preparation, was Alekhine at last able to
solve the Dutch enigma. This phenomenon has in fact a rational explanation.
Euwe was the first player to study openings with scientific precision. His
repertoire was designed to prevent Alekhine from unfolding his best chess
qualities. If you add Euwe's talent for precise calculation, his sense of
initiative plus his outstanding nervous constitution, you can see where
Alekhine's problems came from. Forced to play without the initiative, the
Russian made many mistakes, mainly due to psychological impatience. Two years
after losing his title to Euwe, when he won the rematch, everyone assumed that
the result of the first match was purely due to bad form and a casual approach
on the part of Alekhine. But I personally think that these factors had little
to do with the outcome. One year before, in 1934, Alekhine played quite a poor
match against Bogoljubov, but the final score did not reflect the quality of
the chess played: 15.5:10.5! After all Alekhine in poor form was still
Alekhine! In his first challenge match Euwe, after a disastrous start (+1, -4,
=2), was desperately trying to catch up, but Alekhine was able to maintain his
lead. Before the following game the score was 10.5:8.5. Euwe badly needed
another win to stay in the match, which was scheduled for 30 games with a tie
favouring the reigning champion.  Das holländische Mysterium Max Euwe 
(1901-1985, Weltmeister 1935-1937) wird von der Schachwelt allgemein
unterbewertet - außer natürlich in seinem Heimatland Holland. Er war nie
begierig professionell Schach zu spielen, zog es aber dann doch vor seinen
Lebensunterhalt weniger ambitioniert aber solider als Professor für Mathematik
zu verdienen. Sein Schachtalent kamm bereits in frühen Jahren zum Vorschein,
aber da er sich im Kreise der Schachamateure bewegte, schloß er sich selber
aus dem Liste der ernsthaften Kandidaten für den Titel des Weltmeisters aus.
Wie sollte sich außerdem jemand ohne beeindruckende Turniersiege als
ernstzunehmender Herausforder bewerben können? Dies war der Grund, warum er in
der Schachöffentlichkeit auf Skepsis stieß, als er genau das versuchen wollte.
Angesichts der großartigen Resultate in den frühen dreißiger Jahren wollte
niemand glauben, daß der Holländer etwas anderes als Kanonenfutter für den
Champion sein würde. Aljechin teilte offenbar diesen kategorischen Standpunkt,
obwohl Euwe gnerell gegen einen bestimmten Spieler ganz außergewöhnlich gute
Ergebnisse erzielt hatte - gegen Alexander Aljechin. Ein erstes Match, 1927
gespielt, kurz vor Aljechins Triumph über Capablanca, endete mit einem sehr
knappen Vorsprung für den Russen - 5,5:4,5 (+3,-2,=5), nachdem Aljechin seinen
Gegner in der sehr verdächtigen 10 Partie eingelullt hatte. Die
Turnierbegegnungen bewiesen ebenfalls keinerlei Überlegenheit seitens Aljechin.
Nur in dem Rematch von 1937 gelang es Aljechin dank gewissenhafter
Vorbereitung das holländische Geheimnis zu entmystifizieren.  In Wirklichkeit
kann dieses Phänomen auf rationale Art erklärt werden. Euwe war der erste
Spieler, der Eröffnungen mit wissenschaftlicher Gründlichkeit untersucht hat.
Sein Repertoire war so aufgebaut, daß Aljechin keine Gelegenheit bekam, seine
ganzen schachlichen Fähigkeiten zu entfalten. Wenn man Euwes Fähigkeit zur
präzisen Berechnung, sein Gespür für Initiative und seine außergewöhnliche
psychische Vefassung aufaddiert, ist klar, woher Aljechins Probleme kamen.
Gezwungen, ohne Initiative spielen zu müssen, machte der Russe eine Menge
Fehler, meistens aufgrund von Ungeduld. Als Aljechin zwei Jahre nach dem
Verlust des Titels an Euwe den Rückkampf gewann, vermutete jeder, des Ergebnis
des ersten Wettkampfes sei einfach durch schlechte Form und unprofessionelle
Wettkampfauffassung seitens Aljechins zustandegekommen. ich persönlich bin
anderer Ansicht und glaube nicht, daß diese Faktoren das Ergebnis beeinflusst
haben. Ein Jahr zuvor, 1934, spielte Aljechin einen schlechten Wettkampf gegen
Bogoljubow, aber das Endresultat spiegelte nicht die Qualität der Partien
wider - 15,5:10,5. Auch in schlechter Form war Aljechin immer noch Aljechin. 
Im ersten Wettkampf versuchte Euwe nach einem katastophalen Start (+1,-4,=2)
verzweifelt seinen Rückstand auszugleichen, aber Aljechin war in der Lage, den
Vorsprung zu halten. Vor der nachfolgenden Partie stand es 10,5:8,5 und Euwe
brauchte dringend einen Sieg, um im Match zu bleiben, das auf 30 Partien
angesetzt war.} 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nf3 Nf6 4. Nc3 dxc4 {The Slav Defence was

f5 f6 16. Rf4 {In an aggressive opening White has sacrificed a pawn for a
dangerous initiative on the kingside, and it seems that his plan is going to
work. What can be done to prevent the simple attack on h7 with Rh4 and Qh5?
Pushing the pawn from h7 to h6 is not a defence because of Bxh6, and the black
king, left without pawn protection, will be an easy target for the white army.
Does it mean that Black's whole strategy, based on a solid positional
foundation, was a mistake? Of course not - counterattack is the answer! In
einer aggressiven Eröffnung hat Weiß einen Bauern geopfert und dafür eine
gefährliche Initiative am Königsflügel erhalten. Und es sieht ganz danach aus,
als würde die Sache klappen. Was kann Schwarz unternehmen, um den direkten
Angriff auf h7 mit Th4 und Dh5 zu parieren? Der Bauernzug h7-h6 hat keinen
Verteidigungswert, weil dann sofort Lxh6 kommt und der schwarze König, ohne
seinen Bauernschirm, ein einfaches Ziel für die weißen Streitkräfte böte.
Bedeutet das also, daß die gesamte schwarze Strategie, die auf einem festen
positionellen Fundament aufgebaut ist, etwa fehlerhaft war? Natürlich nicht –
die Antwort lautet Gegenangriff!} b5 $3 {[%cal Yd8b6,Yb6g1] One can argue that
such moves are even nicer than beautiful sacrifices. Spotting a weakness on d4
Black forces his opponent to moderate his attacking plan. With an activated
black queen White doesn't feel safe anymore and discovers that his position is
quite vulnerable behind its shiny front. Ich habe das Gefühl, daß ein solcher
Zug vielleicht noch schöner ist als ein spektakuläres Opfer. Euwe hat erkannt,
daß die Schwäche von d4 den Gegner zwingen kann, seine Angriffspläne zu zügeln.
Angesichts einer aktiven schwarzen Dame wird sich Weiß nicht mehr so sicher
fühlen, sondern vielmehr erkennen, daß hinter der glitzernden Fassade seine
Stellung doch etwas wacklig ist.} 17. Rh4 Qb6 18. e5 $1 {An excellent
defensive move with a clear attacking purpose. The pawn on h7 cannot be
protected. Ein hervorragender Defensivzug mit einem klaren Angriffsziel. Der
Bauer auf h7 kann nicht verteidigt werden.} Nxe5 19. fxe6 Nxd3 20. Qxd3 (20.

Klarheit in die Stellung, z.B.}) {[#]} 22... Rh8 {?!! The question mark is in
evaluation of the actual quality of the move - after perfect defence by White
Black would probably lose all his advantage. Two exclamation marks for the
brilliancy of this idea. The white queen is temporarily moved to a passive
position, the black rook will rush to the second rank and the combination of
Q+R+B will start chasing the white king, who was so far a distant observer of
the shells crashing around his counterpart. At the same time just one knight
on e8 is, for a few precious moments, able to keep his king out of trouble.
But the price for all these accomplishments is - a full rook! ?!! Das
Fragezeichen gilt der tatsächlichen Qualität des Zuges – nach perfekter weißer
Verteidigung würde Schwarz nämlich seinen ganzen Vorteil wahrscheinlich
verlieren. Die zwei Ausrufezeichen sind für die glänzende Idee. Die weiße Dame
wird für den Augenblick auf ein passives Feld gelockt, während der schwarze
Turm auf die zweite Reihe stürmt. Gleichzeitig wird die Angriffstruppe von
Dame, Turm und Läufer auf den weißen König gesetzt, der bislang aus sicherer
Entfernung die Einschläge um seinen weißen Gegenpart betrachten konnte. Dabei
reicht der einsame Springer auf e8, für einige wertvolle Augenblicke die
Stellung um den schwarzen König dicht zu halten. Der Preis für diese ganzen
Schätze ist allerdings ein ganzer Turm!} (22... Qd5 23. Re4 {I think now

unexpected offensive, Geller immediately collapsed. His move prevents the
deadly check on c4 after Rxg2+ Kf1. But unfortunately the black queen had
another route for the final rendezvous with the white king! Erschüttert von
der plötzlichen und ganz unerwarteten Offensive des Gegners, bricht Geller
einfach zusammen. Sein Zug sollte das tödliche Schach auf c4 (nach Txg2+ Kf1)

able to face up to the young contenders. But despite his poor over-all
performance he did play two very attractive games with rook sacrifices. Im
historischen Kandidatenturnier in Zürich 1953 war der alternde Euwe nicht mehr
