| Aug-16-03 | | offramp: Kasparov says that 42.Ne2 would win. |
 |
| Jan-15-04 | | Whitehat1963: Amazing! 86 moves, uneven piece exchanges, uneven material in the endgame, and still a draw. |
|
| May-06-04 | | offramp: I think that's down enirely to Alekhine. I am a Capablanca fan but in this game he didn't really *do* anything - he was reacting. I suppose that's a downside to the opening. |
|
| Aug-05-05 | | Robin001: I think Kasparov is thinking about the knight moving to e2, c3 and then to d5, thus preventing black from taking the f4 pawn. Of course, the knight is very dominating on d5. |

 | | Benzol: 42. a7 ?
"An arrogant move, with which White quite needlessly deviates from his pre-determined plan, and thus at least makes the win very much less clear. The simple 42. e2 would not only have parried the opponent's only threat (...xf4 followed by ...e6+ and ...f4-f4+), but would also have brought the white knight into the game with decisive effect.
For example, after the likely continuation 42... c8 43.c3 d8 44.d5 Black could have quite calmly resigned". - Alyekhin in 'On the Road to the World Championship 1923 - 1927' |

| Mar-04-08 | | Knight13: Surprised that Capablanca refused to repeat with 59...Nf8 when he knew that the best he could pull out is a draw. And then Alekhine just dropped all the pawns in the endgame... |

| Apr-26-09 | | WhiteRook48: I much prefer the R vs RB endgame |
|
| Sep-04-09 | | WhiteRook48: why does AA throw away his pawns? |

| Sep-04-09 | | AnalyzeThis: That's not what happenned. There is a story about this game. It was adjourned, and Capa's seconds spent all night worrying about this game, because they couldn't figure out a way to hold the position. Meanwhile, Capa was out on a "date", let's say. He showed up in the morning, and the seconds told him it looked bad. Capa said: "Really? I'll eat those pawns up!". He then got permission to analyze for a while with his clock running, then showed up, and held the position without any problems. So, we look at this position today, but if one of us was playing it, it would have been 1-0 anyway. |

| Mar-05-10 | | Petrosianic: <I am a Capablanca fan but in this game he didn't really *do* anything> Except for pulling off the greatest defensive performance of the match, and one of the best in World Championship history, nothing at all. The ending, with Capa's Knight successfully fighting off the swarm of pawns is just amazing. Alekhine surely missed a win, probably more than one, but that doesn't take away from the achievement. |
