Sep-03-07  Maynard5: In this game, Euwe achieves a favorable opening, and then gradually accumulates a series of small advantages. Initially, White gains more space in the center. Then, White's bishop on g3 supports the advance of the d-pawn to d6, where it drives a wedge into Black's position. Black's knight is misplaced on the kingside, so that White is able to win the vulnerable pawn on c5. Bogolyubov is still able to resist for a long time in the resulting rook endgame, but in the end, Euwe's material advantage forces the win.

  nizmo11: Timman shows that Euwe could have won with 38.Rc7! Ke6 39.Rxd7 Kxd7 40.Kd4 and if 40...Kxd6 not 41.Bxe5+?, but 41. a4 or Bf4, followed by tempo moves with the bishop on the diagonal. After Black plays Ke6, White wins with Bxe5 and Kc5.

At the early stages of the rook ending Black could have drawn rather easily with 40...Rxd6 41.Rxa7 Rd6, or 43...Rb2: if now 44. a5 then Rxg2 45. a6 Ra2 46. Ra8 Kf6 47. Kc4 g5 48. a7 Kg7!
Later, at move 46, there was a more difficult draw: 46... Rb4! 47. Ra8 Rxe4 48. a6 Rf4!+ 49. Ke3 Rf7! 50. a7 Kf5 (Timman).
The later phase of the rook ending leads to the very complex variations; Timman shows that after Euwe's slip on move 50 (correct was 50.Ra8), Black could have drawn with 52...Ra2+
