The game below is Fine's only loss in his present stay in Europe. It occurred in the Amsterdam tournament, the first round in which Euwe also defeated Alekhine. Fine and Euwe tied for first honors, despite his initial setback.
The young New York expert drifted into a bad ending, and was unable to avert defeat, though only after a prolonged struggle.
Hans Kmoch vs Reuben Fine
Amsterdam (1936), Amsterdam NED, rd 1, Oct-10
Queen's Gambit Declined: Manhattan Variation (D51) 1-0
In this game, from a recent Belgian championship, the winning combination parallels at least four master games. We refer the reader to Chapter III of Znosko-Borowski's “Art of Chess Combination.” Koltanowski, undoubtedly familiar with at least one of these, was able to adopt the underlying sacrificial motif to his needs, thereby winning a brilliancy prize.
Georges Koltanowski vs Marcel Defosse
BEL-ch (1936), Ghent BEL, Oct-??
Colle System (D05) 1-0
