    Geller vs. Euwe

         Reader Paul Gottlieb mentions this game in his reply to my last post on Euwe when he wrote, "Geller - Euwe from the 1953 Zurich Tournament will always be a source of joy to lovers of chess. I can still remember the jolt of surprise and pleasure I got when I saw Euwe's wonderful 22...Rh8! and then understood its purpose."
         I had forgotten about that game and it is also a favorite of IM Daniel Rensch who annotates it on Youtube. Thank you Mr. Gottlieb for reminding me of this game!
