2nd match Colle vs. Euwe, Amsterdam

15-03-1928 > 28-03-1928

1 2 3 4 5 6 Tot
Colle, Edgard BEL 0 0 0 ½ 0 0 ½
Euwe, Machgielis NED 0 1 1 ½ 1 1

This was a training match for Euwe, meant as preparation for his match against Bogolyubov. For Colle, it was one of the worst results of his career, although it must be said that Euwe was at this point one of the world’s best players. All games were found in [1]. Some sources (like NICBase) give 15…Rcd8 instead of 15…Rfd8, which to me seems less likely. The dates were kindly provided by Mr. Olthof, who quotes [2] as his source.
