The Hague-Moscow 1948

Match/Tournament for the World Chess Championship

By: Max Euwe

At the Crossroads of Chess History On March 24, 1946, the fourth world chess champion, Alexander Alekhine, passed away. He was the first – and still the only – champion to die while holding the title. To select a new champion, a powerful quintuple round-robin was held in The Hague and Moscow. The five strongest players of the era, including one former world champion, two future world champions, and two perennial contenders, took part in a grueling two-month, 25-round tournament. “The match-tournament of 1948 in The Hague and Moscow was one of the most important events in the history of chess. It produced a new world champion, Mikhail Botvinnik, and it was also the start of a new era in which the championship would be regulated by FIDE by means of an intricate system of qualification tournaments that would function with only small changes for decades.” (From the Foreword by Hans Ree) Max Euwe, the fifth world champion, wrote a splendid account of this historic event. It includes a review of all previous encounters between the participants, background information, as well as all the games of the tournament, deeply annotated by Euwe. This fascinating account is finally available in English. You are invited to follow Mikhail Botvinnik, Vassily Smyslov, Sam Reshevsky, Paul Keres and Max Euwe as they battle for the title and the chess world starts its journey through the post-World War II era and the beginning of the Soviet hegemony.

The Middle Game in Chess by Euwe Book 2

Dynamic and Subjective Features

By: Max Euwe,Haije Kramer

In Book I of their authoritative study Dr Max Euwe and Mr H. Kramer examined the static, or positional, features of the middle game. In the companion volume they turn to its dynamic and subjective features. While the potentialities of a given position, its dangers as well as its opportunities, can be assessed, the manner in which they are handled varies widely according to the intellect and temperament of the player. Indeed, there is no single road to success. In this Book II the authors examine the initiative, the different types of attack on the king, the arts of defense, maneuver and liquidation, and the common failings over the chessboard to which even great players are occasionally subject. Their theme is lavishly illustrated by master games. The final part of the book is devoted to a survey of the personal styles of thirty-eight grandmasters and World Champions from Anderssen to Petrosian, from Morphy to Tal and Fischer. In this volume the former World Champion and his collaborator complete their study of middle game theory. It is a classic unlikely to be superseded and an essential addition to the library of every serious student of chess. From a review of Book I by W. A. Fairhurst in the Glasgow Herald.' "It is difficult to do justice to such a large and important book in a brief review, but I must state at once that all serious students should possess it. . . . The former world champion conceived the work during the Second World War and one is not surprised to learn that its writing took years of intensive study. Volume II dealing with the dynamic elements will be eagerly awaited.

World Chess Championship 1937

By: Alexander Alekhine,Max Euwe

Undoubtedly one of the greatest chess players of all time, Alexander Alekhine's play has influenced generations of players, including that of the current World Champion Gary Kasparov. In 1937 Alekhine faced one of the most difficult matches of his career - to recover the title of World Champion from the Dutchman Max Euwe, to whom he surprisingly lost it two years before. This is Alekhine's own account of that match, with game annotations from both combatants.

Meet the Masters

By: Max Euwe

Arguably the strongest tournament of all time was AVRO 1938, held in The Netherlands. This competition contained no fewer than four past present and future world champions, while the players in this event continuously held the supreme title with just two one year breaks from 1921 to 1963. In this book the Dutch World Champion Dr Max Euwe previews the AVRO Tournament and gives his insights into the particular strengths and weaknesses of such titans as Fine, Keres, Botvinnik, Alekhine, Capablanca and Reshevsky.

My Best Games, 1920 - 1937

By: Max Euwe

Originally published as From My Games, 1920-1937, the fifth World Champion comments on his rise to the top.Euwe was a hero in his native country of the Netherlands, and his book explains why - Euwe was one of the very few who could stand up to the mighty Alekhine. Not only could Euwe hold his own, he scored some magnificent wins, such as his sparkling sacrifice of a knight against Alekhine at Zurich 1934 or the so called 'Pearl of Zandvoort' victory from the 1935 clash which elevated Euwe to the position of World Champion.

Bobby Fischer and His Predecessors in the World Chess Championship

By: Max Euwe

The distinguished author, himself a past world champion and President of FIDE, analyzes aspects of Fischer's play in comparison with previous holders of the title Alekhine, Botvinnik, Capablanca, Euwe, Lasker, Petrosian, Smyslov, Spassky, Tal. He examines the relevance of the respective ELO ratings of the earlier champions and provides more specific evidence for considering the true status of Fischer among the champions. Though no constructive judgment is possible, the comparison of Fischer's strengths and weaknesses in various compartments of the game with those of other champions affords great insight into his style, and shows him to be on a par with the greatest of those earlier heroes, a player whose main weakness was his own human fallibility.
