Feb-19-07  kereru: Brilliant game by Vallejo. Remarkably, he was following a 94 year old Capablanca game.

Mieses vs Capablanca, 1913

Feb-19-07  notyetagm: Wow!
Feb-19-07  dehanne: That's it, no more center games for Nepo!
Feb-19-07  veigaman: great game!
Feb-19-07  InspiredByMorphy: paladin at large left some of Capablanca's notes on that game kereru. Among them Capa said this "12..Nd4 "This complicates the game unnecessarily. Re8 was simple, and perfectly safe." Pons disagrees apparently.
Feb-19-07  Illogic: Dizzying tactics. Guess Vallejo was boned up on his center game theory :)
Aug-06-08  thathwamasi: Dennis Monokroussos has chosen this game for wednesday night lecture this week.
Dec-21-24  Uhohspaghettio: @kereru Very interesting. Notably Mieses found the critical 13th move Be3 while Nepo played the far inferior 13. Kb1 and lost much faster.
