b'This week we are re-joined by a legend of the game, 9 time Dutch champion and award winning author, GM Jan Timman. GM Timman has just released his latest book, Max Euwe\\u2019s Best Games, which puts the games of his fellow Dutch legend under a modern microscope. We discuss Jan\\u2019s personal relationship with Euwe, and Jan answers some questions about the World Champion\\u2019s legacy. Is it fair to say that Euwe only beat Alekhine in 1935 due to Alekhine\\u2019s drinking problem? What were Euwe\\u2019s best games? How did he develop his tactical flair? Why did he blunder more often than other elite players? We also discuss other news from the chess world, as GM Timman shares thoughts and stories on Magnus Carlsen, Hans Niemann, Garry Kasparov, and the state of Dutch chess. It is always an honor to speak with GM Jan Timman!\\xa0\\nPlease read on for timestamps of topics discussed.\\n\\nPrior GM Jan Timman appearances:\\xa0\\nEpisode 196\\n2021 Discussion of the Carlsen-Nepo match\\xa0\\n0:02- GM Jan Timman shares his personal recollections of former World Champion Max Euwe, who Jan played in a simul as an 11 year old boy.\\xa0\\n0:07- Jan took a trip for a chess training camp to the Soviet Union as a 19-year-old in 1970.
