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
