Chess Master vs Chess Amateur Max Euwe

Sort:
gaereagdag

I have read Max Euwe and Walter Meiden "Chess master versus Chess grandmaster" . That was a great book. I haven't read the OP one. But if it's as good then I say yes, it's worth reading Laughing

No doubt one could find a combined pgn file of all the games in CMvCA on the 'net.

 

Or in ChessBase (cbv) format, at any rate:

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I was going to manually plot out all the games into game editor. I never thought to look for the PGN files online, didn't think about it. I have found them. Link below for any one else interested:

This book has been translated into Russian and published in 2014 (obviously in algebraic notation):

I am reading it right now and find analysis and explanations really excellent (at least for my level of 1700 OTB). I've always had a problem to sustain my interest in studying instructive game collections - this is the first book of this kind that I really enjoy.

I think it is possible to see online samples of most Gambit Publications books by going to their site.

Well 11 years late but maybe someone will come across this old thread. It’s a very good book and it does not take long to get a feel for the descriptive notation. I became somewhat fond of DN by the 3rd game in the book, it’s not much of a struggle and for sure worth it.

Just got this book for Christmas! Descriptive is not difficult to learn.

Enjoying chess books is half the battle, mostly they are written for masochists.
