  • Dutchman Who Did Not Drink Beer. He Also Surprised My Wife Nina by Showing up with Flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital Just Before She Gave Birth to My Son Mitchell
    168 The Bobby Fischer I Knew and Other Stories Dutchman who did not drink beer. He also surprised my wife Nina by showing up with flowers at the Lenox Hill Hospital just before she gave birth to my son Mitchell. I hadn't said peep, but he had his quiet ways of finding out. Max was quiet in another way. He never discussed his heroism during the Nazi occupation. Yet not only did he write letters to Alekhine asking the latter to intercede on behalf of the Dutch martyrs, Dr. Gerard Oskam and Salo Landau, he also put his life or at least his liberty on the line for several others. I learned of one instance from Max's friend, Hans Kmoch, the famous in-house annotator at AI Horowitz's Chess Review. Hans was living at the time on Central Park West somewhere in the Eighties. His wife Trudy, a Jew, had constant nightmares about her interrogations and beatings in Holland by the Nazis. Hans had little money, and Trudy spent much of the day in bed screaming. Enter Nina. My wife was working in the New York City welfare system and managed to get them part-time assistance. Hans then confided in me about how Dr. E greased palms and used his in­ fluence to save Trudy's life by keeping her out of a concentration camp. But mind you, I heard this from Hans, not from Dr. E, who was always Max the mum about his good deeds. Mr. President In 1970, Max Euwe was elected president of FIDE, a position he held until 1978.

Alekhine. Per un lungo periodi, dal 1914 fino appunto al 1927, venne considerato praticamente imbattibile. E questa sua imbattibilità rimane tuttora un mito, considerato che, delle circa seicento partite disputate nella sua lunga carriera, ne perse solo 35, comprese le 6 della sfida con Alekhine. Un vero e proprio record che nessuno ha mai potuto eguagliare. Dopo la perdita del titolo, naturalmente, i “critici” alzarono la cresta e vollero cercare dei limiti nel José Raul Capablanca suo gioco, sino ad allora considerato Oggi, in occasione della ricorrenza del ineguagliabile per semplicità e centenario della sua nascita e ormai naturalezza.
