| Benjamin Lau: <chessgames.com> Queen's Indian isn't it? |
 |

 |
| chessgames.com: I'm really not sure if this is a Queen's Indian; but that shouldn't matter. We use software to determine the ECO code. If we find errors, we have to check the software. We're going over the program and it turns out that there are some "en passant" situations which really make the thing misperform. I'll reprocess this game with our new changes and see if it reclassifies it. |

|
| chessgames.com: The result: the software doesn't see any position in this game that is a "book" Queen's Indian position. Calling it a Queen's Pawn game is probably the most accurate. |

| dinesh: suprisingly, 18.exf6 is possible!. |

| Benjamin Lau: <"book" Queen's Indian position>
Oh, that makes more sense. I guess I was thinking more of a Queen's Indian middlegame, which it looks like. |
|
| Jul-16-03 |
| aulero: <Benjamin Lau> The opening after 8...f5 became a Dutch Defense, so the middlegame ( e8-h5 with a direct King attack is a Dutch typical theme [see for example the famous "Glucksberg vs Najdorf, 1935"]).<dinesh> After 18.exf6  f4 19.d1 xg2 White is lost. |

| Lawrence: Morrison erred with 48.d5? 48.Rf1 would have been OK. (Junior 8) |

| Calli: The ending is still bad because of things like 48.Rf1 Rh3 (threat Bd3) 49.Ra1 a2! 50.Bxc6 Rxh4 51.Bg2 Bb1 and Black should win in the long run. |

| who: the notes to move 12 should say c5 not c4 |

| tonsillolith: About the note on move 7, why must 7...Ne4 be prevented? What makes it such a good move? |
|
| Jul-19-06 |
| CapablancaFan: <tonsillolith> It was important to play 7.Nbd2 to effect exchanges in the event of 7...Ne4(Which Capa actually played). Now Capa has a dominating position in the center with his knight.Also, even if this knight is exchanged, now the dangerous diagnol is opened up for Capa's bishop on b7. How dangerous is this bishop? See move ...31. |

| notyetagm: 31 ...  xg2!! is a brilliant tactical shot by Capablanca.Position after 31 ... xg2!!:
click for larger viewThe point is that 32  xg2?? allows the mating sequence 32 ... b1+! 33 xb1 xb1+ 34 f1 fxf1#, shown below:

After 26.Bxf4

<Version 1 (Burn’s column in The Field, 19 August 1922, page 271, Maróczy’s tournament book, published in summer 1923, and most subsequent sources): 26…Nxf4 27 Rxf4 Kh7 28 Ne3 Bg5.> <Version 2 (The Times, 5 August 1922, page 14, and most other 1922 sources): 26…Kh7 27 Ne3 Nxf4 28 Rxf4 Bg5.> If version 2 was correct than Morrison didn't miss a win on move 28 and Capablanca didn't blunder on move 27. 26...Kh7 27.Ne3 Nxf4 28.Rxf4 Bg5 [see diagram]

| Mateo: <aulero> <<dinesh> After 18.exf6 Nf4 19.Qd1 Nxg2 White is lost.> It seems that <dinesh> was right. Instead of 19.Qd1, 19.Qe3 could be an improvement. |

| Mateo: <Calli: The ending is still bad because of things like 48.Rf1 Rh3 (threat Bd3) 49.Ra1 a2! 50.Bxc6 Rxh4 51.Bg2 Bb1 and Black should win in the long run.> Your variation is nice (49...a2!), but the final result is not obvious to me after 52.d5 exd5 53.Bxd5. White could also consider 51.Bf3 Bb1 (51...Rxd4 allows 52.Rxa2) 52.d5 exd5 53.Bxd5 which leads to your variation. |

(the idea is to bring the King to the queen side). After 51...Rxd4+ 52.Kc3 Rd3+ 53.Kb4 Rd2 54.Bb5, White should have some drawing prospects. But it is very complicated of course. |

| Karpova: Now there's a feature article by Edward Winter on this game and its two versions (in this database it's version 1): <Morrison v Capablanca, London, 1922> http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... |

| vikinx: <32 ... b1+! 33Rxb1 Rxb1+ 34Bf1 Rfxf1#>Just for the record, instead of 34. Bf1, White can play 34. Qc1 or Qe1. |
