I agree with the comment on Euwe. After all he did beat Alekhine to win the world championship. It should be noted that, unlike Alekhine after he defeated Capa, Euwe agreed to an immediate rematch, allowing Alekhine to regain his title; but Euwe could have refused to play, as Alekhine did subsequently. Euwe has also written many excellent books on chess, one of my favorites is "Chess Master Vs Chess Amateur", it helped me start to understand the game when I was a beginner.

Thanks Mr. Wallace! I think Euwe is sometimes underestimated because 1) he was not a pro, and 2) he became WC because Alekhine was drunk when they played the match. In fact, it is disputed whether or not Alekhine actually was drunk (I think that it might just be a bad excuse) and, judging from games like these, Euwe was a very strong player.

Can someone explain, why Najdorf moves from G8 to H8 with his King?

yes :) - black wants to capture whites pawn on D6. Only the queen can do that. If the queen captures the pawn however, he is in for a nasty surprise. Imagine that the queen is on D6 (because it has just taken the pawn) - then white plays the killing move BISHOP TAKES PAWN ON F7 - with check! Now, because the king is in check, black has only 3 legal moves - either King to H8 or H7 or he can capture the bishop with rook takes F7. After any of these moves, blacks queen will be taken by whites queen

Nice game! I really liked the daring d6 pawn move combined with the knight's maneuver ... a great aggressive combination.
Thx for posting
