Welcome, innovative viewers, to this week’s episode of Models of Success. On today’s show, we will feature a world chess champion and noted mathematician from the Netherlands, Dr. Machgielis Euwe. Machgielis Euwe, internationally known as Max Euwe, was born in Watergraafsmeer near Amsterdam, the Netherlands. His mother and father were avid chess players, and taught young Max how to play the game when he was only five years old. It did not take long for his natural talents to show, and soon Max was able to understand how to checkmate his parents during their matches.

In school, Max Euwe especially loved mathematics, as it not only strengthened his logical thinking but also helped him advance in chess. During the Christmas season when he was 10 years old, Max Euwe took part in his first chess tournament and won every single game. His winning further fortified his confidence, interest, and ambition in the board game. He also joined the Amsterdam Chess Club, which provided him with a conducive atmosphere for learning by practicing with others who shared his interest.

Four years after having entered his first competition, Max Euwe began to take part in the Dutch Chess Federation tournaments. During his years of playing there, he was able to learn to remain composed and contemplative despite the challenges of the game. After graduating from high school, Max Euwe made his first trip abroad to England, where he participated in the well-known Hastings Chess Tournament and came in fourth place among notable chess players.

Max Euwe studied at the University of Amsterdam and majored in the subject he loved – mathematics. He connected his knowledge in this field to his beloved game of chess, utilizing its logical, precise, and algebraic principles to fine-tune his skills and strategies.

Later, he published an interesting paper in which he defined what is now called “Max Euwe’s Sequence.” This shows that chess can go on continuously, even with the existing rule which states: “A chess game ends with a draw if a sequence of moves, with all pieces in exactly the same positions, is played three times successively.” Since this previous rule did not take into account the length of the sequence, Max Euwe was able to prove that it did not effectively bind a chess game to being finite.

To solve the problem of games with an infinite duration, the proposed modification was to also end a game if no pawn is moved and no piece is taken after 50 successive move pairs (white-black or black-white). This improvised regulation has been adopted by the World Chess Federation (FIDE), which organizes annual international chess tournaments.

By the 1920s, Max Euwe was a leading chess player in his country, winning his first Dutch Championship in August 1921. His academic education also developed alongside his chess achievements. In 1923, he graduated with honors from Amsterdam University. Continuing his studies, Max Euwe undertook extensive research in mathematics.

He was awarded a doctorate degree under the thesis “Differential variants of two co-variant vector fields with four variables.” Dr. Max Euwe was appointed as a high school teacher of mathematics in Lyceum for Girls in Amsterdam, where he taught for 14 years. He still took part in worldwide competitions whenever he had free time.

In his mid-20s, Dr. Max Euwe had the opportunity to play a match with Alexander Alekhine, to whom he narrowly lost. Soon after, Alexander Alekhine rose to World Chess Champion. This served to enhance Dr. Max Euwe’s confidence in his abilities, as his game with Alexander Alekhine had been so close.

He then played against many renowned chess grandmasters such as Mr. Efim Bogoljubov from Russia, Mr. José Raúl Capablanca from Cuba, Mr. Rudolf Spielmann from Austria, and Mr. Salo Flohr from Czech Republic, and obtained very optimistic scores resulting in mostly draws or wins. During a tournament in Berne, Switzerland, Dr. Max Euwe took second place to Alexander Alekhine.

In the summer of 1935, Max Euwe once again invited Alexander Alekhine to a game of chess. When asked the reason, he simply replied: “First of all, it’s a very high honor for me to play a match for the World Championship; and second, my… country would like to have a national hero.” This famous playoff lasted for months and was held at 23 different locations.

Chess Grandmaster Mr. Lodewijk Prins and International Chess Arbiter Mr. Baruch Harold Wood once described Dr. Euwe’s immense abilities: “When his genius is functioning at its smoothest he strides confidently into some extraordinary complex positions: he is no disciple of simplicity.”

Dr. Max Euwe held the most wins against Alexander Alekhine, making him the new World Chess Champion of this distinguished tournament and signifying the peak of his overall chess career. After this, Dr. Euwe still occasionally took part in tournaments; however, he also began to focus his interest elsewhere.

When we return after these brief messages, we will take a look at some other achievements of the Chess Grandmaster from the Netherlands, Dr. Max Euwe. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television.

Illuminating viewers, welcome back to Models of Success. On today’s episode, we are featuring Dr. Max Euwe, the fifth World Chess Champion and distinguished mathematician from the Netherlands. Since learning the ways of chess at the tender age of five, Max Euwe had been fascinated by the complex mindset of the game and continued to advance to playing and triumphing in matches with world famous players.

He was also very proficient in mathematics, a field in which he conducted intensive research. Mathematics not only helped him develop his logic but also led him to approach the board game algebraically. Some of his most notable games were the Max Euwe versus Efim Bogolyubov in Budapest, Hungary, and Max Euwe versus Geza Maroczy in Bad Aussee, Austria matches in 1921, as well as the Siegbert Tarrasch versus Max Euwe game in Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 1923, to name some of his many beautiful matches.

Dr. Max Euwe often used very scientific and methodical strategies in his chess games. He would record every possible variation he could think for the opening and ending of a game and try each of them out during his tournaments. In addition to mind preparation, Dr. Euwe also physically conditioned his body with such activities as swimming and gymnastics before each game.

After months of competing with Alexander Alekhine, which finally concluded in Berne, Switzerland, Dr. Max Euwe earned the title of World Chess Champion, which he held for two years. Because he was an amateur player, Dr. Max Euwe did not receive any financial reward in his world tournaments.

However, his victory garnered much honor and respect for his home country. In addition, it helped make chess more popular in the Netherlands, and chess clubs began to bear his name. Indeed, the love of chess was most important to Dr. Euwe, and his underlying reason for participating in competitions.

In the 1940s, Dr. Max Euwe led a chain store food company, and through this he organized underground food delivery services to people in less fortunate parts of Europe. A decade later, Dr. Euwe’s inquisitive nature led him to become interested in a technological domain – computers. He first became a scientific advisor to the computer department of the early American business machines manufacturer Remington Rand.

Dr. Euwe later moved on to being the Director of the Research Center for Automatic Data Processing in the Netherlands. His research group focused on areas such as telecommunications, Dutch language computer dictionary, and a universal programming language. As Dr. Max Euwe was one of few who were proficient in computer informatics at that time, he was appointed professor of the field of Informatics and Cybernetics at the University of Rotterdam, the University of Tilburg, and the University of Mantach.

Dr. Euwe also chaired a research which studied the possibility of running a chess program on a computer in order to test arrays of artificial intelligence. Though computer chess was still a dream in those days, the widespread technological chess programs today are attributed to Dr. Max Euwe’s original research.

In 1970, Dr. Max Euwe was appointed the President of the World Chess Federation (FIDE), a position he held for eight years. Dr. Euwe travelled around the world at his personal expense in order to seek prominent players. During this time, FIDE also opened its membership to many additional countries.

Perhaps one of the most harmonious events which Dr. Euwe supported was the “Match of the Century,” a chess tournament between Mr. Bobby Fischer and Mr. Boris Spassky. Through Dr. Max Euwe’s tireless negotiations and determination, this tournament eventually took place and symbolized the first diplomatic communication between the West and the East during that period.

During his lifetime, Dr. Max Euwe wrote over 70 chess books, far more than any other world chess champion. The most popular of these works are “The Road to Chess Mastery,” “Judgment and Planning in Chess,” “The Logical Approach to Chess,” “Strategy and Tactics in Chess Play,” and “Practical Chess Lessons.”

Through all of his achievements, Dr. Max Euwe approached everything he did with great care. Dutch chess Grandmaster Gennadi Sosonko recalls his experience with Dr. Max Euwe when he was reviewing his fan mail: “These letters were all very similar, and almost always included requests – for autographs, photos, or books. ‘Do you think this will be enough?’ he would usually ask me, as he signed a piece of paper or autographed a photo. ‘More than enough,’ I would reply. ‘Do you really think it’s enough?’ he would say, doubtfully.”

Dr. Max Euwe’s determination, intellectual curiosity, and willingness to learn from others helped him excel in numerous fields, from chess to mathematics to technology. He did not seek honor for himself but always for his country. His wholehearted dedication to everything he did made him an enduring role model for many.
