Is anyone here somewhat reminded of Kasparov vs X3D Fritz? :) |
|
| Feb-08-05 | | CeeFoR: That really is awesome pawn formation, great game. |

 | | keypusher: Here's another game that takes a very similar course to Capablanca-Treybal. Maroczy vs H Suechting, 1905 |
|
| Mar-12-05 | | Karpova: <rleder>
capablanca wanted to save time on the clock. |
|
| Apr-04-05 | | point: What a great game! |
|
| Apr-04-05 | | RookFile: <rledger> The other thing you learn,
in games like this is: do not hurry. |
|
| Apr-04-05 | | Kingdumb: <RookFile: <rledger> The other thing you learn, in games like this is: do not hurry> I understand about not hurrying but black was dead around move 30. His position was terribly cramped, white controled 3/4 of the board and there was nowhere for black to go. Sometimes by being too cautious you can let your opponent back into a game. So you half to balance patience with passivity. |
|
| Jul-20-05 | | Orbitkind: Cool game. That closed pawn structure looks mental. |
|
| Sep-03-05 | | Averageguy: A brilliant example in utilising a space advantage. |
|
| Oct-10-05 | | ConfusedPatzer: I'm pretty sure Capa wasn't afraid of Treybal getting back in the game in that position |

| Oct-22-05 | | avidfan: Position after 55.Bd3-a6

| Nov-01-05 | | knight openings: Reinfeld marked Treybals 5...f5 with a ? mark. |
|
| Nov-01-05 | | paladin at large: <rleder> karpova and RookFile are probably both right. Repetition of moves or purely waiting moves saves time on the clock and also provides the player space to clarify his thinking. The repetition is sometimes also unnerving to the other player. |
|
| Nov-08-05 | | CeeFoR: What an outstanding game.. |
|
| Nov-18-05 | | CapablancaFan: I just love the V for victory pawn formation. :-) That's all. |

 | | LIFE Master AJ: I love this game, although several modern GM's have made derogatory comments about it. Certainly, in retrospect, it seems a rather one-sided contest ... however, his opponent definitely had something to do with this! Treybal was no fish, this tournament was a success for him, he gained nearly 50 points here, (http://www.chessmetrics.com/CM2/Pla...); and shot up from number 36 to number #19 in the world in les than one year's time. I would definitely like to know what GM Ray Keene thinks of this game ... |
|
| Dec-31-05 | | setebos: There are plenty of derogatory statements that can be made about modern GMs! I wonder how they would fare against Capa in his prime without the benefit of their precious laptops,databases and Fritzies. |
|
| Dec-31-05 | | baffersty: One way of comparing the great players over time is to measure their percentage scores which chessgames provides. Unsurprisingly, Fischer and Capablanca are ahead of the pack with around 72,4%. Just look at the scores by the current top players to see how strong Capa and Fischer were in their time. My view, they were the top two players in history, even better than kasparov. |
|
| Dec-31-05 | | syracrophy: I wanna notice some points of this game:
-Capablanca played the move <4.Bg5?!> because he knew that the Czech Karel Treybal, liked to played the Stonewall System (with the pawns on <d5, e6 and f5>) so Capablanca will try to change the dark-squares bishop, because its the black's good bishop -When the dark-squares bishop is gone <6...f5?> is not good, because black will have problems with his bad bishop of c8. Correct was <6...Nf6> -<10...g6?> was a mistake, because it jails more the light-squares bishop, and creates more weaknesses on the dark squares. -<13...Bd7> was a mistake, because it will leave with a restricted position. Correct was <13...Nxe5!> -If <38...cxb5 39.c6+ wins> -It doesn't works <40...Qa8 41.Qc3!> -White has to be cautious from any tactic counterattack: <51.Nd2? Nxg5!> -<55.Ba6! was ok> <But also possible was the decisive 55.Nxb7!! Nxb7 56.Ba6 Nd8 (56...Rc7 57.Bxb7 Rxb7 58.Ra8 wins the queen) 57.Rxd7 easily winning> -After <58.Nxc6 Qc8 59.Nxd8 Qxd8 60.Rxa6 crushing> |
|
| Jan-26-06 | | Whitehat1963: All those king moves late in the game, was that about reaching the time control, perhaps? |
|
| Jan-27-06 | | jollygeoff: I love this game i am reading silman's how to re-assess your chess complete chess mastery course and this game is an example from that. I have noticed since reading the chapter on Superior minor pieces in the midgame that i can build positions like this but unlike capablanca i kinda lose track of my opponents counter attacks once building such a huge territorial advantage. Here's hoping the rest of the book enables me to gain some insight on how to do this. GREAT GAME!!! |

| Oct-24-06 | | notyetagm: Incredible position after 55 ♗a6!:
click for larger viewSimply incredible.

|
| Oct-26-06 | | notyetagm: Play through this great Capablanca win from the Black side some day if you want to feel what claustrophobia is like. |
|
| Nov-06-06 | | Shajmaty: I agree most of your comments, <syracrophy>, but not "<13...Bd7> was a mistake, because it will leave with a restricted position. Correct was <13...Nxe5!>". Black is not free at all after 13...Nxe5; 14. dxe5! |
|
| Nov-06-06 | | micartouse: After 46. Qa3, Capa has "Alekhine's Gun". This game predates Alekhine vs Nimzowitsch, 1930 so I wonder why the technique isn't called "Capablanca's Gun"? Did Alekhine use this on a previous occasion? Anyway, this is a really cool game for many reasons. |
