Dr. Max Euwe challenges and difficulties
Dr. Max Euwe has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Max is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Dr. Max Euwe often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.
There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Euwe's which may inhibit him a great deal. Dr. Max Euwe must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.
His attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Dr. Max Euwe may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to him. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Max may tenaciously cling to his grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Dr. Max Euwe pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough manner, and he is willing to takes his time, advancing slowly and steadily on his way towards his goal.
Sometimes Dr. Max Euwe underestimates what is possible, and holds himself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.
Dr. Max Euwe tends to be his own worst enemy, demanding inhuman perfection of himself and harshly criticizing or persecuting himself when he does not measure up.

He is capable of tremendous effort and of overcoming great odds and handicaps. Through these efforts Dr. Max Euwe develops his power and inner strength.
