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: https://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1044436
