The first of three matches between Euwe and Colle. The players won alternately with the white pieces until Colle lost in the last round after giving away a very good position. The games are widely available. The exact dates for the games — with, surprisingly, two games on one day — were kindly sent to me by Mr. Philip Jurgens, who quotes [3].

A picture of the match, with Colle on the left and Euwe on the right. It appeared in De Telgraaf 08-04-1924.
