| NOKRO: Between these two giants of chess. I would prefer Morphy. |
 |
| Jul-30-06 |
| ughaibu: Where do "giants" of chess place in the hierarchy? Presumably below "wizards" like Tal. |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| NOKRO: You're kidding, right? |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| ughaibu: Not at all, then there are angels, gods, demons, etc. |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| NOKRO: I would say Kasparov is the third giant. |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| NOKRO: Fischer is the fourth. |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| ughaibu: Are we talking Fenris, Jarmungund, these kind of giants? If so, which giant is which player? |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| square dance: kramnik is very tall. |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| NOKRO: THe best in chess. starting with very best. Morphy of course, then Capablanca, then Kasparov, followed by Fischer.... |
|
| Jul-30-06 |
| ughaibu: For Fenris, I nominate Eric Schiller his profile page photo is both hirsute and vulpine. But for Jarmungund I cant think of a scaly player, anyone specially noted for dandruff? |

| Eric Schiller: <ughaibu> in 7th grade my nickname was hobbit. at 5'6" I'm no giant! |
|
| Jul-31-06 |
| ughaibu: But a giant of the chess world nevertheless. |

| NOKRO: <ughaibu: But a giant of the chess world nevertheless.> Now, you make sense.

| CapablancaFan: 19...Qxg2? |

 |
| Ulhumbrus: With the pair of moves 27 Be4-d5 and 28 Rd4-e4 Capablanca transfers two pieces occupying central points to two different central points: the B on e4 is transferred to d5 while the R on d4 is transferred to e4. This makes at least three immediate differences to the position (1) The B on d5 attacks the B on e6 (2) The R on e4 occupies the e file and (3) The long diagonal is opened for White's Queen. This matter may warrant further pondering. At the very least, these White pieces are not going to act alone. The Q on b2 is going to be assisted by a R on h7 attacking the g7 pawn. Then after Qxg7 the Q will pin the f7 pawn and so assist the Bd5 attacking the B on e6. The R on e4 is also going to attack the B on e6, while the f7 pawn defends the B on e6. The R on e4 is going to pin the B on e6 and so assist the B on d5. |

| Whitehat1963: What happens if 21...Bf5? |
|

 |
| pawn to QB4: 21...Bf5 - not a bad idea at all, but I guess after the simplest option 22.Bxg2 Bxc2 you're a pawn down in an ending...against Capablanca. This was usually viewed as terminal, like giving Fischer a slight theoretical opening advantage. |

| Whitehat1963: <but I guess after the simplest option 22.Bxg2 Bxc2 you're a pawn down in an ending...against Capablanca.> True. By the way, 22. Bxg2 is the only option. Look at black's options if white miscalculates and plays 22. Bxf5 in response to 21...Bf5. |

| alfa.vimapa: it is aesy Capablanca, Tal, Fisher, Kramnik and Anand! |
|

| shintaro go: Only 2 pages of kibitizing? This was a brilliant game by Capablanca. 24..Qxh2 was needed because the Queen needed an escape diagonal via h2-b8, although it leads to Alekhine's defeat. |

| whiteshark: Capablanca in 'his element'. Botvinnik annotated
<15.Rd1!> and <19.Bd3!!>. |
|

| AnalyzeThis: This was a great game. |
|
| Dec-27-08 |
| CapablancaFan: One of Capablanca's greatest masterpieces. |
|

| SufferingBruin: <AnalyzeThis> Thanks for making that comment. I just played through this for the first time and, holy crap, what a game. The move 19.Bd3 should be bronzed. Great stuff. |
