Old film footage Max Euwe
As the 'Euwe year' comes to an end, we pay tribute once more to the 5th World Champion. Because Euwe won the world title exactly 75 years ago, Dutch broadcast corporation VPRO made available a big number of videos in which you can see Euwe together with players like Alekhine, Botvinnik, Capablanca and others. Historical footage!We'll give a few examples of what you can find in VPRO's online archive:
