| Feb-26-08 | | euripides: <frank> early in his career he mainly played 1.e4, and this generated some very fine attacking games. Later he often played 1.d4 and some of the greatest games are attacks on a weakened queen's side. For this reason he is often called a 'positional' player, though his 'positional' games can be very sharp and incisive. See Capablanca vs Spielmann, 1927
for one classic example. |

| Jul-12-08 | | Ulhumbrus: Capablanca's comment on 28...Nc5 is " Evidently an error which made the winning easier for White, as he took the Rook with the Knight and kept up the attack . Black should have played 28...Nxg7. Then would have followed: 29 Nf6+ Kg6 30 Nxd7 f6 (best) 31 e5 Kf7 31 Nxf6 Re7 33 Ne4 and Black should lose." (Capablanca) Taking this variation, can anyone provide the analysis which Fritz or Rybka give of the position after the move 33 Ne4? |

| Sep-15-10 | | Russian Grandmasters: This game won the tournament "Beauty Prize."
<Capablanca's> reception at <San Sebastian 1911>:"The Europeans regarded Capablanca to be a "Greenhorn", the product of a heavy advertising campaign by American newspapers. When the Cuban arrived in the Basque resort, several participants in the tournament doubted whether the 22-year-old "cub" was sufficiently strong to compete with the world's leading players. The loudest protests came from Ossip Bernstein and Aron Nimzowitsch, sending a written objection to the organizers. The organizers, however, insisted that Capablanca play in the tournament. Not only that, Capablanca came "clean" first, and his game with Bernstein received the prize for beauty." --Tomasz Lissowski

| Feb-21-16 | | peterh99: One of the commenters says Capa was probably lost near the end but gives no variations. Hmm.... Since many readers by now have engines, was Capa lost near the end, in the 'opinion' of these engines? |

Kasparov however in OMGP vol. 1 points out that Capa's plan was not waterproof and if B. had played 25.....g5 or 25.....Rg8 then Capa should not have won the game, maybe even lost it. 28.....Nc5?? (time trouble?) throws the game away. Bernstein should have played 28.....Rd8 (Gazza). Junior 8 on the other hand comes up with both 28.....Nxg7 and 28.....Reg8.>

White threatens Nxe8 followed by Nf6+. He also threatens ♙f5-f5. For example 29.f5 Nxg7 30.Nf6#!

A very unusual mate!
Kasparov apparently reckons that 28...Rd8 would have been better:

| | offramp: Capablanca was indeed "fluent in Spanish", although I believe he spoke Catalan to him Mum. |
|
| Sep-16-20 | | RandomVisitor: After 25...g5 others have suggested that black now has the advantage (25...Rg8 likely leads to perpetual check).

Really? Never heard that before.>
This was not my source, but it is <a> source: https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C... <Descendia, per línia paterna, d'una família catalana arrelada a Cuba de feia molts anys, que s'hi havia enriquit fins a formar part de la més distingida burgesia de l'illa i, de part de mare, de catalans emigrats més recentment. José Raúl era el segon fill de José María Capablanca Fernández (oficial de l'exèrcit) i María Graupera Marín. <Des de la infantesa, parlà català amb la mare i els familiars de la línia materna.>> I think anyone can translate that last sentence, but in any case google/trans gives:
<"From childhood, he spoke Catalan with his mother and his maternal relatives."> That uses as a source "Fontrodona, Marià. Capablanca. Barcelona: Edicions Nou Art Thor (col. Gent Nostra), 1988." There is also a string of kibitzes, starting at
Jose Raul Capablanca (kibitz #232)
which is worth reading. |

| Jul-20-23 | | Mathematicar: I don't believe that Capa saw everything, but rather, I think, he felt that there must be something more worthy than a two lossed pawns. But this shows how brilliant he was in "simple" positions. |
|
| Aug-02-23 | | generror: As <capablancakarpov> noted (Capablanca vs O Bernstein, 1911 (kibitz #22)), the score seems to be incomplete. Both Tartakower in his <500 Master Games of Chess> and Kasparov in <My Great Predecessors 1> also say that the game ended <34...Kh4 35.Qg3+>. |
|
| Aug-02-23 | | generror: <25...g5!> would have completely stopped Capablanca's attack. Capablanca said gave <26.e5?! f6? 27.Qd3> and said "with proper play White will win. I do not give the variations because they are very long and complicated." However after <26...Nf4 27.Nxf4 Bxf5 28.Nd3 Bxd3 29.Qxd3+ Kg8> (D) Black seems to be completely fine, especially being two pawns up.
