Interesting games


It all looked very promising for White but it wasn't enough.
Paoli, Enrico (ITA) - Euwe, Machgielis (NED) 0 - 1

White Bg2 was still all game long but his pressure over main diagonal was essential.
Darga, Klaus (GER) - Keller, Dieter (SUI) 1 - 0

"A deep contrast: White's knights leaped all over the board,
while Black's were trapped. A bad (K)night for Max."
Dückstein, Andreas (AUT) - Euwe, Machgielis (NED) 1 - 0
