| Calli: Capablanca's Qe5-Qd5-Qa2 maneuver is one I always admired. Still, maybe Nimzo could have stopped it with 21.e4, had he realized what was going on. |

| kevin86: Although two rooks are slightly better than a queen,when they are not co-ordinated they are weaker. They are subject to forks and pins by the queen. A good win by Capa |

| ketchuplover: Two rooks on the 2nd rank are deadly!
This site is great :) |

| PapaiSabetudo: Why not 31.BxR? Because, the black pieces answer with a furious atack in 31... Qxg4+ 32. Kh1, Qh3 33. Kg1, QxB+ 34. Kf1, Qf2#. I love Capablanca! He's amazing! |

| Lawrence: Interesting that on move 18 Capa takes the Knight not the Bishop. Is it because 18.....NxB 19.RxN would have developed White's Rook "free for nothing" i.e. gained a tempo whereas 18.....NxN 19.RxN leaves White's Rook on a1 undeveloped? Or is there something else here? |

| Calli: <Lawrence> Yes, thats what I see. After Nxc1, white will play Nd3 and Black's bishop doesn't look that superior to the knight. Also, in the game, note that Capa invades on the white squares. Nxe1 eliminates the last minor piece that could guard c2, b3 etc. This makes me think that 18.Rd1 would be better. |

| Lawrence: Calli, thanks for the insight into square colors, something that a player at my level never thinks about though "Chess Mentor" tries its best to educate us. Junior 8 likes 18.Rb1 or 18.Rd1 but certainly not the 18.Ne1 that Nimzo played. |

| Stavrogin: A great game! Beautiful and with high quality! Capablanca at his very best!
Question: does any player has a +record vs Capablanca? |

| Resignation Trap: Sultan Khan in this game:
Sultan Khan vs Capablanca, 1930
and Boris Verlinsky in this game:
Capablanca vs Verlinsky, 1925
had the distinction of defeating Capablanca in their only encounters against the Cuban. |

| ArturoRivera: why does Nimzo Resigned, perhaps the passed kingside pawns at black's disponsal? |

| who: ArturoRivera maybe because of time. Can anyone post a winning line? |

| Hesam7: <who>, <ArturoRivera> White's position is completely hopeless, win is a matter of technique and a player of Capablanca's caliber would have won this easily. |

| meloncio: <who> Better late than never. After 15 minutes, Fritz8 points out this line as the best for black: 42.e4  d7 43. a8 h4 44. b8 b7 45.fa2 xe4 46.8a7 xb4 47.xf7 e4 48.g2 b5 (eval -3.62; depth 17 ply; 955M nodes) |

| RookFile: Not many have a plus score against Capablanca. The guy lost 35 games in his professional career, spanning 3 decades. Pretty unbelievable when you think about it. Of all the men to beat, Capablanca was the hardest, or maybe Petrosian was equally hard. |
