White to play. This is from Euwe-Alekhine, Zurich 1934. It looks as if Alekhine may have won Euwe’s knight due to the e-file pin. How did Euwe respond in such a way as to avoid material loss and gain a clear advantage? Answers to me at The Spectator by Tuesday 15 October or via email to victoria@spectator.co.uk. The winner will be the first correct answer out of a hat, and each week I shall be offering a prize of £20. Please include a postal address and allow six weeks for prize delivery.
