The great Capablanca had the ability to dispose of strong opponents without any effort. After an opening mistake by Spielmann, his play afterwards is accurate to the most minute detail. http://www.chess.com/article/view/e... |

| Nov-21-08 | | AnalyzeThis: Spielmann was one of the few guys was was competitive against Capablanca. They played some memorable games against each other. |

It's a line from this song

Although maybe the Hunter/Garcia took it from an older source |

 | | OhioChessFan: I guess I don't see what's so great about the game. Black's one move blunder 17...Qd5? and he might as well have resigned on the spot. |

| | OhioChessFan: I had a look at AJ's analysis. I do agree with him that exchanging Black's DSB for the Knight is a strange play. That simply can't be best and IMHO throws away a tempo. I guess the excitement of the game is how quickly Capa finishes the game after the obviously poor Qd5. FWIW, I think 17...Bb7 to connect the Rooks seems right. |
|
| Feb-21-11 | | newzild: A famous game by the great Cuban. This was deemed one of the 100 greatest games of all time by three English grandmasters (I think Graham Burgess was one of them). |
|
| Feb-21-11 | | Chesschatology: AJ thanks for your great analysis. What a game. It reminded me of Fischer's comment in which he said that Capa's "apparent simplicity is a myth: his play was razor-sharp". If you look at the game for the first time, initially it appears to be, as <OhioChessFan> said: pedestrian; equality with a one-move blunder. Look at in detail and it becomes apparent that from a normal looking position, Capa unerringly walked with stately steps down the slim and deadly path of perfection. He's like a Samurai swordsman, seeing through the noise of battle to the simple, elusive soul of the fight: the single, casual, fatal thrust. Which is to say... XXXXing beautiful. |

 | | Marmot PFL: Nimzovich said of Spielman that he always tried to solve every problem by attack, but that often it was necessary to play positional or defensive moves. |

(I omit trailing decimals as insignificant: may all my weak moves be worth 12 Ps!) Capablanca might have played 25.Bf3 as a safe defensive psychological move, snuffing all Spielmann's hopes. It's hard to call any move weak, when the opponent resigns after the next move. |
|
| Feb-21-11 | | WhiteRook48: I don't know, almost all moves win |
|
| Feb-21-11 | | AnalyzeThis: If you play a move like 17.... bxa4 you're basically saying goodbye to all your queenside pawns, sooner or later. |
|
| Feb-22-11 | | Roger Krueger: Hmmm, not the 1st, 2nd or 583rd place I'd have expected a Dead reference. Opens whole new realms of punnish possibilities. |

(blush) ... and your are (OF COURSE!!!) welcome. :)
Thanks for the comments. Believe it or not, it took me about four months to do the analysis and the webpage. (I wanted it to be close to perfect as possible.) Only a good critic will know if I succeeded ... or even came close. |
