It was October 1935 and Alexander Alekhine was on his way to Amsterdam to defend his World Champion title.  To avoid a serious challenge he’d chosen a relatively easy opponent for the match, a man named Max Euwe.  Euwe was actually an amateur player, so to Alekhine, he seemed like a safe choice.  But as it turned out, he wasn’t. The game we're studying this time is actually Max Euwe vs. Bobby Fischer, New York (1957).  I think it's a better game for visualization training than any of the Euwe vs. Alekhine games.   Before you listen, check out the full annotation here: <a href="https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044436">https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044436</a> Training Resources: <ul> <li>Game analysis (video): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wno-k1IrZDY&t=176s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wno-k1IrZDY&t=176s</a> </li> <li>Queen's Gambit Declined (video): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2F8inwFmk0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2F8inwFmk0</a> </li> <li>Article on Euwe: <a href="https://en.chessbase.com/post/the-gentleman-boxer-world-che-champion">https://en.chessbase.com/post/the-gentleman-boxer-world-che-champion</a> </li> <li>Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Chess-Words-Wisdom-Principles-Essential-ebook/dp/B006596X2Y/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Chess+Words+of+Wisdom&qid=1615324071&sr=8-1">Chess Words of Wisdom</a> by Mike Henebry</li> </ul> Support the show: <ul> <li>Sign up for the newsletter: <a href="https://audiblechess.substack.com/welcome">https://audiblechess.substack.com/welcome</a> <a href="https://audiblechess.substack.com/welcome">  </a></li> <li>Become an official Patron: <a href="http://www.patreon.com/audiblechess">www.patreon.com/audiblechess </a></li> <li>To make a one-time contribution, you can buy me a coffee: <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/davidzok">
