Chess Review article on Alekhine vs Euwe 1935 World Championship match
Curious fact
The 1935 World Championship Match began in Amsterdam, and approximately half of all games were played there. However, starting from the 4th round, the players embarked on a unique journey—they went on the road and visited 12 more cities over the next two months
“By far the closest and most exciting match for the World's Championship has just been concluded. We have a new champion in Dr. Max Euwe of Holland,” writes James R. Newman in the American chess magazine Chess Review, issue #1 for 1936. The championship match between Alexander Alekhine and Max Euwe finished in the Netherlands on December 16, 1935. Despite being three games down by Game 9, Euwe managed to overcome this deficit in the middle of the match and ultimately secured victory with an overall score of 15½-14½. Out of the 30 games played, 17 were decisive (9 wins for Euwe and 8 for Alekhine), while 13 ended in draws.
