Mar-21-06		Whitehat1963: Is there a clear finish here, or just an insurmountable lead in development and a strangled position for black?

Mar-21-06		CapablancaFan: Cmon look at the space advantage Capa has. Black on the other hand is suffocating.

Mar-21-06		Whitehat1963: Agree, and as you can certainly see, I already said as much. But to resign just for that reason? Come on, let's let fans see a bit more, right? How do you think the next three to five moves would go?

Mar-21-06		setebos: Rey Ardid wisely decided to go to the tasca for some wine and tapas rather than suffer for a few more moves.

Mar-21-06		meloncio: I think Rey Ardid didn't like it long and unnecessary sufferings. Try R Rey-Ardid vs Alekhine, 1922 and Alekhine vs R Rey-Ardid, 1944

Mar-21-06		Green Bishop: 1929 was a great year for Capablanca. He played in five tournaments with the following results: Ramsgate, first place, Carlsbad, second place only half point behind Nimzowitsch, Budapest, first place, Barcelona, first place and Hastings (1929-30) first place.
