| mack: <He is definitely a technician...> Oh, my comment makes it sound like I don't like strategic games or something - nothing could be further from the truth. My own play is heavily positional, I can't be arsed with tactics. But there's just something not quite technical enough about Sultan's style, I can't put my finger on it. |

| notyetagm: Shocking to see Capablanca so completely, totally outplayed. |

| paladin at large: <notyetagm> This is sustained strong play by Sultan Khan. Capablanca had a game the next day with Euwe - New Year's Day - but I doubt that he was underestimating and looking past SK. SK was known to be tough. This was Capa's first loss ever with the Queen's Indian - his career record in serious games with the Blacks is an astounding 20+ 2- and a few draws - and it may be that he was overly comfortable with the pattern coming out of the opening. |

| WillC21: Wow, an absolutely brilliant game by Khan. The black Q simply has nowhere to go; infiltrating the white camp proved to be an impossible task. White just incrementally improved his position after giving Q for 2 R's. I wonder if Khan's judgment when giving Q for 2 R's was mainly tactical or positional. I wonder how much of what he calculated actually transpired. Seems a game of this complexity necessitates a great positional understanding. |

| WillC21: Obviously at 23 white had to give his Q up, but Khan no doubt planned on that many moves earlier, as opposed to planning to prevent it, which he could have. |

| CapablancaFan: <WillC21> Yeah have to agree with you. True Cap gets a queen, but the c-file turned into a lightning rod for him. It just seems like Capa assumed he could overcome the positional deficit and miscalculated. From move 35...Qh3 on, Capa is so close to zugzwang you can taste it. A VERY rare indignity for Capa. Imagine if Khan had book knowledge, hmmm... |

| Fast Gun: How can this opening line be possibly attributed to either Petrosian of Kasparov, since Petrosian would have barely been a year old, while Kasparov was not born for another 33 years!
Surely the the line has got to be named after the originator, not after two World champions who came to promenance years later? |

| keypusher: <Fast Gun> By the same logic, perhaps 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 should be called the "Blackburne-Indian"? Englisch vs Blackburne, 1883
Openings are frequently named for the chessplayers who did most to develop them, rather than the first player who used them. Seems fine to me. |

| Open Defence: <fastgun> also the variation is named not only because of the sequence of moves but the long range ideas behind the moves... that's why Nimzovitch is credited with the ideas for the Nimzo Indian... and not only Petrosyan but Kasparov is credited with this line... |

| aqeel: I am almost laughing watching this game!
Capablanca was tied hands and feet! |
|
| Jun-30-08 |
| RookFile: I guess. Capa believed that there would be no way for Khan to infiltrate. He was almost right. Of course, that 'almost' part was sufficient for him to lose the game. |
|

| Whitehat1963: Khan showed tremendous patience. How many of today's player's would have kept at it? And how many players hold a plus score against Capablanca? Three? Four? Keres, Botvinnik, Khan -- anyone else? |
|
| Jun-30-08 |
| Whitehat1963: I suppose one can add Reuben Fine to the list if Botvinnik's simul win counts. |

| crwynn: I don't understand why Capablanca centralized his king so quickly, 27...Qa4 planning 28...Ba6 seems more logical, it's the only way to keep bothering White's king. |

| Peter Nemenyi: <Dudley: He is definitely a technician.> I'm surprised that no one has pointed out yet in this thread that Sultan Khan first learned the Indian style of chess, in which the queen and the bishop had much more limited moves than we're accustomed to, and only encountered the Western game as an adult. So of course his play was positional and technical; in the chess he really understood in his bones, sharp tactics and slashing attacks were hardly possible. |

| VaselineTopLove: How does 33.Bg4 look instead of Rgc1? I thought he played Rgc1 with the idea of playing Bg4 and preventing the Queen from occupying the d7 square. |
|

| Hugh the Drover: From move 47, Capablanca's Queen looks heavily sectionalized and isolated on the kingside, not quickly to be "checkmated" as happens to queens, but ready to be lost as in a game of Go (where to surround the opponent's stones allows their capture). |
