   Jul-06-25 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937
 
tbontb: In another Slav, Euwe as White improves on game 13, offering a pawn for Q-side pressure (11.bxc3). Alekhine perhaps unwisely accepts the material, eventually regained with interest, Euwe showing impressive technique to convert the major piece ending in the face of Alekhine's ...
 
   Jul-05-25 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1937
 
tbontb: Alekhine as White varies once again with a Catalan structure to bypass the Nimzoindian. He methodically transforms his superior activity into a 2B versus 2N advantage, plus direct threats against the enemy K. Sadly, Euwe collapses badly, blundering under pressure with 32....Rc6 ...
 
   Jun-30-25 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937
 
tbontb: As noted by <woldsmandriffield>, the flashy 39....Nf3 is actually a losing blunder, perhaps best refuted by 40.Rd7+ Kc6 41.Rd6+ Kc7 42.Rd2+. In the game after 50.Rd4 Black is close to lost and Euwe smoothly converts the advantage.
 
   Jun-21-25 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1937
 
tbontb: Alekhine defends as Black with a different variation of the Slav and Euwe continues resolutely, offering a pawn (14.f4) in a flawed attempt to trap a piece. Alekhine correctly accepts the material, garnering several pawns plus activity with more than enough compensation. However, ...
 
   May-18-25 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1935
 
tbontb: Euwe as White improves on the Slav variation (which lost with reversed colours in Game 1) using 14.Ne4. Alekhine faces strong pressure and the forcing 18.Ng5 leads to a difficult pawn-down ending where 27....Bxa4 (last chance Be6) immediately loses the game. After the startling ...
 
   May-18-25 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935
 
tbontb: Euwe defends as Black with a less ambitious variation of the Slav (7....Nd5 is the modern preference) and Alekhine sacrifices a pawn for a dangerous initiative, another product of his excellent opening preparation. As the position clears, Euwe returns the material to complete ...
 
   May-03-25 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935
 
tbontb: Euwe again chooses the Winawer French and Alekhine varies with another aggressive sideline. After a long, semi-forcing variation (8....Rxg2 may be better than ....f5) the players reach a difficult endgame where White is close to winning with an extra exchange, but both sides have ...
 
   May-01-25 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1935
 
tbontb: Euwe opens with a critical test of the Slav and Alekhine again responds aggressively but with a dubious continuation 10....Qb6 (better Bd7). A long semi-forced line ensues resulting in an ending where Euwe has a far-advanced passed a-pawn and a clear advantage after 26.Bb4, expertly ...
 
   Apr-27-25 Alekhine vs Euwe, 1935
 
tbontb: Euwe again defends as Black with the complex Winawer French and Alekhine chooses an aggressive sideline 7.g4. As White builds a direct attack against the Black K, Euwe mistakenly exchanges Qs and is immediately lost as the initiative persists into the ending. Instead, the critical ...
 
   Apr-26-25 Euwe vs Alekhine, 1935
 
tbontb: Alekhine again defends with the Gruenfeld, improving on Game 2 (5....Bg7 replacing ....Be6). As the tension rises, he sacrifices a piece to trap the enemy K in the centre. Euwe bravely accepts all the offered material but is ultimately unable to stave off the attack. After 22.Bxe3 ...
