 | | Benzol: I agree with <mack>. Would 31.♗d5 be a better move here. |
 |
| Dec-02-05 | | Whitehat1963: How about it, Crafty? What's the best move after 30...Qh4? I see a lot of possibilities. |
|
| Apr-01-06 | | Green Bishop: 31...Rd5 and 32...Rd1 were fantastic.
I think this player was the first who beat both Capablanca and Fischer (Fischer was only 13). Reshevsky and Fine did it later. |

 | | Calli: <mack> "Can't explain 31.Qe3 at all." My theory: Capablanca played 31.Qe3?? to draw Fox into playing 31...Rd5. He thought Black would lose in variations like 32.Rc1 Rdc5? 33.Rxc5 dxc5 34.Rg8+ wins. Playing a simul of 38 boards, he missed Fox's 32...Rd1! which, in fact, is the only move that does not lose. |
|
| Apr-03-06 | | goldenbear: <Benzol> Doesn't 31.Bd5 fail to Qxh6? It seems to me that things went south after White mistakenly won the pawn with 13.Nh6+. 13.h4 looks good to me. |

| | Benzol: <goldenbear> You might be right. My idea was to try and give the King a flight-square. |
|
| Apr-30-06 | | CapablancaFan: Rare miscalculation for Capablanca. 31.Qe3? |
|
| Apr-30-06 | | syracrophy: After 40.Kb1 Qxf5+ and its all over |
|
| Apr-30-06 | | goldenbear: 17.g4 and 18.Bf5 and maybe White really is better. |
|
| Sep-11-08 | | Whitehat1963: Impressive to have been the only player to have beaten Capablanca in 1919. Simul, schmimul. Against Capablanca, especially that year, a win is a win is a win. And we'd all brag about that win. |

 | | GrahamClayton: Fox later emigrated to Canada and won the Canadian championship 8 times between 1927 and 1949, so he obviously was a pretty reeasonable player, even at this young age. |

| Jun-28-15 | | joddon: Fox made the Great Capablanca look like a chicken in the barn!! how does one with such high standards give away his queen like that??? |

 | | offramp: Mr Fox played 30...Qh4 attacking the pawn on h6. Capablanca protected the pawn with 31. Qe3.

Fox had his wits about him and made a brilliant nowotnyesque move:
31...Rd5!!

White could now have kept the balance with the clever 32. Qc1!!

Or even with 32. Bxd5! Bxe3 33. fxe3:

34..Qxh6? <34...Qxe4+ was better.>
35. Rd7 Qxe3
36. exf5 b4
<Now 37.Rh1 draws>

But Capablanca played
37. axb4?? a3
38. bxa3 Qe4+
39. Ka1 Qe5+ 0-1
White will soon lose the rook on d7. |

 | | FSR: Outfoxed. |

 | | al wazir: Note that black played 30...Qh4 instead of Qxe4+, forcing the ♕ swap. Fox knew he had the advantage, and he was going for the kill! |

 | | ChessHigherCat: Check out the list of other super-GMs Fox played on his profile page: Alekhine, Euwe, Marshall, Lasker, Horowitz... He even beat Fischer in 1956: http://chess.ca/fox-maurice |

| | offramp: <MissScarlett: <Ultra Fox, Oh Vienna!>> I think that is a cracking pun. For a start, most people know the song. Then, the opening is indeed a Vienna. And Capablanca was "ultrafoxed" in this game, foxed beyond what one would normally expect. But what pun is chosen? "Outfoxed". Do me a favour. That's about as funny as a Leonard Cohen song about Krakatoa. |

| Aug-04-17 | | ColeTrane: So yesterday crack hens and now a crack fox.... Kudos to these merry punsters |

 | | morfishine: According to Capa lovers, he only loses in simuls, of course forgetting about the 1927 match vs Alekhine hahahahahahahahahahahaha
