| Jan-01-05 | | Whitehat1963: Capablanca's only loss in the Ruy Lopez. |
|
| Jan-01-05 | | DanielBryant: This is odd. I was just reading about Rage against the Machine on another site before I came over here. |

|
| Feb-15-05 | | Whitehat1963: Might this be the most famous game that features the Ruy Lopez Exchange Variation (Opening of the day)? |
|
| Feb-21-05 | | Hinchliffe: What a wonderous game. Lasker has played some marvellous games and this must surely rank amongst his fines. To play so powerfully is one thing but against such a player as Capablanca is a superb achievement. On a personal note the exchange variation is a ploy I seldom employ maybe its time I rethink this and try it out. As a matter of interest has anyone got some examples of how modern players contend with the exchange? |
|
| Feb-22-05 | | iron maiden: I think in this line it was actually considered better for White to castle queenside. Lasker may have been counting on the famously lazy Capa not having prepared for 9. 0-0. |
|
| Feb-22-05 | | aw1988: A brilliant defeat, psychologically crushing. |

(I just got an e-mail: "I am a regular at <this site.> I have enjoyed a lot of your comments, could you annotate <this game>?") Doesn't anyone out there know how to use a search engine? |

| | LIFE Master AJ: The REALLY funny part of all this was that I was VERY sure I had commented on this game at least once!!! (However, I could not find it when I went looking for it. Either I am losing it ... or I am dimension-hopping again.) |

| | LIFE Master AJ: <all> Has anyone seen my analysis? (Comments? Questions?} |
|
| Sep-03-05 | | Nightwalk: A far from stellar game from the Cuban Chess genius early in his career. How he allowed Lasker to firmly plant the latter's knight at e6 is breaking the rules of Chess Basics 101. Credit to the then world champion on his ability to exploit his younger challenger's weaknesses which were shown in crucial parts of the game. |
|

| | LIFE Master AJ: <Nightwalk> I agree with you - that this is not Capa's best effort. Many - like Chernev - praised Lasker's achievements in this game. Burn was more forthright (blunt!) in calling this: "Simply one of the worst games that Capa ever played." However ... will you admit that Lasker's play is to be admired here? I must also point out that the decisive game in a tournament is often filled with nervous tension, and therefore falls well below the standard of a 'brilliancy' of chess. |
|
| Sep-07-05 | | iron maiden: While it's probably true that this game wouldn't be so famous if played under different circumstances, I don't think it's any more overrated than a lot of others that were/are hailed as "positional masterpieces." |
|
Sep-07-05
| | LIFE Master AJ: <im> Probably - also true. |
|
| Sep-07-05 | | Averageguy: After 12.f5 I quite like 12...c5. It denies the white knight entry into the d4 square and then to the e6 square, it opens the long diagonal a little so after b6 or b5 at some later point black can fianchetto his light squared bishop on a strong diagonal. One final point is that it opens the c6 square as a hopping stone for the e7 knight, who can then leap into the strong e5 outpost. |
|
| Sep-25-05 | | Nightwalk: Yes AJ it's a good victory by Lasker. It's been written that after the game Lasker had the biggest impact on Capablanca, the latter realizing and learning it takes more than good play to win in Chess - strength of character and will power contribute a lot too. iron maiden - it's no brilliancy, but it's instructive especially for the beginner. Good post Averageguy. Capablanca could have also posted his light-squared bishop at c8 in order to have it capture the pesky knight at e6. |
|
| Oct-05-05 | | AlexanderMorphy: I'm not a great fan of the exchange variation in the Ruy Lopez(i prefer the berlin defense or the morphy defense) but i have to say that lasker executed his game plan to perfection. 35. e5 was a good move which led to the win. |
|
| Oct-05-05 | | aw1988: I think there's other wins, albeit slower. |
|
| Nov-14-05 | | Koster: <im> Black usually castles Q side, as in <Smyslov vs Keres, 1940; and the line tends toward equality. The modern line is 5. 0-0 instead of d4, really an old line revived by Fischer in the 60s. |

| | LIFE Master AJ: In case you have not seen it, this game is analyzed on my website. (http://www.angelfire.com/games3/AJs...) And while not every question is answered, it is certainly better than nothing. |

 | | chancho: <And while not every question is answered, it is certainly better than nothing.> Then I'll take nothing.Thank you very much.

|
| Nov-17-05 | | Averageguy: <chancho><Then I'll take nothing.Thank you very much.> It's actually quite good. |

| Jan-12-06 | | blingice: Capa shouldn't feel bad--his overall record would be +6 -2 =15 against Lasker. This was their first game together, and Lasker played quite well. The pawn game was interesting, but I don't understand why Capa prioritized the ♗ over the ♖ in the ♘ fork. Lasker and Capablanca's other games. Thank you <CG.com> search engine! search "Lasker-Capablanca" |
|
| Jan-12-06 | | FHBradley: In fact it was their third game together. The first was Capablanca vs Lasker, 1914, and the second was
Capablanca vs Lasker, 1914
I don't know whether their played any casual games before these. |
