well integrated play of the oew champion. • Afeer the fi rst mne games of the match had been played, the almost universal prophecy among those who are supposed to be in the know in the chess world, tbac Dr. Alekhine would sweep everything before him, seemed to • be coming truc. The latter led by a score of 6 tQ 3, an enormous advantage and an almost insurmountable obstacle, particularl y in this day of closely fought positional games, leading most often to draws._ But Dr. Euwe was nOt so easily discouraged. He took immediate ad. vantage of the amazing reversal of form shown by Dr. Alekhinc and his effortS reached acres· cendo between the 9th uOld I "ith games, when he scored ·lour points out of five games played. . 01".
