Feb-20-08   paladin at large: Here's another Capa game you probably haven't seen. It is a casual game, but of the fairly serious kind, having been a tuneup for Capa three days before his historic 1909 match with Marshall. The game took place 16 April 1909 at the Rice Chess Club in New York.

It is a quintessential positional win, with Capa rendering the black knight useless. If Jaffe warned Marshall about the Ruy, Marshall didn't listen: In the first seven games Capa had the white pieces, Marshall let Capa play the Ruy, with a result of 4+ 3= in Capa's favor.

Oct-02-08   Xeroxx: This is a fantastic game by Capablanca. Ó_Ò
Apr-16-09   paladin at large: 100 years ago today, you might say this game was the kickoff to Capa's mature career.
