going to have to make a point of playing it huh? well i guess we will have to make a point of watching out. Cool coincidence with the name though..
It's move 16 in the following game, just so everyone can see...
Vous n'êtes pas Max Euwe.
I know I'm not Max Euwe... I never implied I was. I'm pretty sure the sentences in the first post explain it, but, of course, they are in English.
I play this move Rae1 in both the exchange caro-kann and certain variations of the italian game. Sometimes you want your rook to stay on f1 so you bring that a1 rook to e1 and kick butt!
um when i played it the king wasnt visible then it suddenly became a knight after the castling. interesting move if you ask me
What game was that in, Chairman? I'd love to have a look!...
Bad5...bads? 
Rae1 should always have an "!",
Rhe1, Rad1, Rhd1 also (same for black - Rae8!, Rhe8!, Rad8!, Rhd8!)

Move 17 blows my mind. Why did't Euwe take the queen?
because he can't.
I thought some of you might appreciate this...
The following move was played in two games that I know of - it was Wilhelm Steinitz's 15th move in a game he had with someone named (?) De Vere in Paris, 1867, and it was Max Euwe's 16th move in a game he had against Bobby Fisher in a 1957 tournament.
Imagine my surprise when I saw it, and also my "personal" pride that the move in both instances was bestowed with an exclamation mark.
Rae1!
I'm going to have to make a point of playing this move in an upcoming game now. Can anyone else think of any other names that are renderable with chess notation? Let's consider all forms of annotation: Algebraic, Descriptive, Coordinate...
