| May-01-07 | | newton296: capabalnca plays a ruthless classic style much like fisher. One of the hardest style's to beat and very instructive to observe. |

| Aug-19-07 | | sanyas: My Best Games of Chess has 40.Nf5+ 1-0. |

| Mar-02-08 | | Knight13: <sanyas: My Best Games of Chess has 40.Nf5+ 1-0.> I don't know; I thought Alekehine don't put his lost games in My Best Games of Chess. |

| May-08-08 | | analysethat: paladinatlarge quotes Capa as saying <After 36. Qf4 "It is curious to note that although we had foreseen this situation at move 21. calculating ,that 36. Qd3 was the strongest move, " > Now,Is this a misprint or did Capa see 32 Nxg7 (and beyond) when playing 21. Nb3 - Or did paladin mean that Capa saw 36 Qd3 when playing 31. h4 and calculated the sacrifice from there? If he did see it at move 21. Nb3 that Qa4 would lead to 32. Nxg7 then there is a world/dimension of chess thinking that I will not only never inhabit, but that I can't even imagine. It's not like there was a forced line like in some of Steinitz's king chases. |

| Jul-09-09 | | drnooo: Odd that such an incisive observation as setebos's should go unanswered here. It may be the best explanation of the puzzling loss to Alekhine: not dumping the queens gambit. The persistence of its use by Capa was close to suicidal. He was not as ruthless as Alekhine, otherwise somewhere along the line he would have decided to sit right down and write himself a letter: I can outplay this guy with a few new different openings. I can combine better than he, and all I need is some fresh positions.
Instead he gave him nothing new for either to look at and in such sterile territory even Capa could only take his brilliance so far. In a word, Alekhine actually bored Capa enough to put him to sleep.... then picked his pockets. |

| Jan-17-10 | | Paraconti: When Capa beats Alekhine he does it beautifully and tidily. When Alekhine beats Capa it's a messy and confusing affair (except maybe for that last game of the match). |

| Jun-10-10 | | micartouse: <When Capa beats Alekhine he does it beautifully and tidily. When Alekhine beats Capa it's a messy and confusing affair (except maybe for that last game of the match).> Seems like an odd characterization of both this game, and Alekhine's Buenos Aires wins. |

| Jun-10-10 | | fabiomand: Alekhine was lucky to win this match...and never gave Capa the opportunity for a re-match...he would lose...Alekhine was great, but Capa was genius. Unfourtunatelly Capa didnīt pay enough attention to preparation and Alekhine was more focused in Argentina...sad! |

| | stoy: Alekhine won thw 1927 match with Capablanca 6-3 with 25 draws. This was not the result of luck, but rather skill, preparation and endurance. Each player had 3 wins with white, but Alekhine had 3 with black! |

 | | KKDEREK: Amazing game..Alekhine was outclassed here. |
|
| Feb-20-12 | | The Curious Emblem: The position after 7.... d5 leaves a bit too many holes in Black's position on the left-half of the board. 5... e6 6. c4 d5 is a better way to play the IQP for Black. |

"Capa could have forced mate in 4 with
41. Qf7+ Kh8
42. Nf5 Qg8
43. Qf6+ Kh7
44. Qh6#"
Close. Your solution is busted.
41. Qf7+ Kh8
42. Nf5 Qxe4+
41. Qf7+ Kh8
42. Qf6+ Kh7
43. Qg6+ Kh8
44. Nf7#

|
| Feb-28-12 | | Penguincw: Already looking unusual after 2...b6. However, the novelty doesn't occur till white's 9th move. Opening Explorer |

| May-03-12 | | Anderssen99: After: 32.Nxg7!! Alekhine's position was in its last throes. |

| | hacked: I don't understand why Capa did not play 18.Bxd2 keeping Ale's king in the center. Ideas? |
|
Oct-18-12
 | | tamar: After 18 Bxd2 Rc5 allows Black to castle.
18 Bxd2 is not a bad move though. I think White would still win, but the subsequent course of the game shows Capa was thinking already of the ideal placement for the bishop and knight to dominate the rook, his main advantage in the position. |
