Mar-02-08		Knight13: What's wrong with 20. Qg4 ?

Mar-02-08		ketchuplover: Nothing.

Mar-02-08		Knight13: Then why didn't he play it? Just wanted a draw? I mean, Alekhine can use that isolated d-pawn as a target or something can't he? He can force black into defending it and then go around it and penetrate and then kill, no?

Sep-07-09		WhiteRook48: they did not want to beat each other Capablanca was leading 2-1

Sep-29-10		soothsayer8: To me, the Orthodox defense looks painfully drawish; a lot of material being exchanged very early in the games of this match.

Feb-26-12		The Curious Emblem: <Knight13> The final position does seem favorable for White. If 20. Qg4, then ... Qxg4 21. fxg4 Rac8 22. Rfd1 and White takes control of the c-file. But after 20... Qe7 21. Rcd1 Rfd8 22. Rd2 Rd6 23. Rfd1 Rad8 24. Qf4 Rd7 25. Qg4 f5, White cannot exploit Black's "weakness" on d5, nor can he create any. So a draw is reasonable.
