May-08-04		vonKrolock: Schlechter could have played more energetically 22...Rc4!; and R. Spielmann think that whith 28...gxf4 he had good winning chances... well, 29.Rh1!! is a wonderfull move that secures a draw... (the only game between Capa and S.)

Nov-06-04		offramp: We are all warned about putting pawns on the same colour sqares as our bishop, but in the final position Capablanca has a black-squared bishop and his 6 pawns on black squares. He didn't want to do it, of course - he just got outplayed. But he wasn't outplayed enough!

Jun-07-07		Benzol: What a pity they only faced each other once. A match between them could have been very interesting.

Mar-14-09		Fanacas: I would bet on schlechter.

Jul-25-12		kjr63: Schlechter wanted to make his young opponent happy and gave him a draw. He was a nice guy.
