 | | refutor: i thought you were a legend when they describe tournaments as "great" because you were in them. e.g. the great tournament of new york 1924, the great AVRO tournament ;) |

So Maroczy is right: <The White position is still a little better, but that is not enough to win against Capablanca.> LOL |

 | | Karpova: Capablanca in "The Times" from 1922.08.12, page 14:
<There was a curious incident today. After my game was finished, an onlooker, very much surprised at Alekhine's attitude at the time, approached him and asked him in a pitiful tone why he had resigned so soon. Alekhine's answer was that he had not resigned, whereupon his questioner asked him then why had I resigned. Alekhine was by this time in a quandary. Finally he thought the onlooker was not very well versed in the intricacies of the game, and therefore he took the trouble to explain that the game had been declared a draw because there was not very much to do on either side.> Source: page 146 of Winter, Edward: "Capablanca: a compendium of games, notes, articles, correspondence, illustrations and other rare archival materials on the Cuban chess genius Jose Raul Capablanca, 1888-1942.", Jefferson, North Carolina, 1989 |

| | RookFile: Personally, I prefer the black pieces in the final position, but it does have draw written all over it. |
