Feb-17-04		Whitehat1963: Where does Capa go wrong here?

Feb-17-04		Cerebrate2006: by playing 1. e4?? capa screws up...but that is probably arguable. I think he just gave up too many pawns on the kingside and realized that it was black who was going to gain control of the g file too late.

Feb-17-04		Resignation Trap: <Where does Capa go wrong here?> As a start 10. Qe3. Why? His Bishop on c1 stays home until move 28. 20. h4? Not a bad idea, but played prematurely. 20. Rh1 and 21. Nhf1 should be played first. 29. Qxf4? White can't save the game after this. Clearly Capa was out of form today.

Feb-19-04		beenthere240: Looks to me like he was playing on autopilot and that he expected Jaffe to fold after Qh6.
