Capablanca44: The double threat of loosing the Knight or loosing the exchange of Knight for Rook was too much for Black. White's two outside pass Pawns would also make it an easy endgame win.Tactics and positional play ensured the win for White. Great game Michael!!

Capablanca44: Kasparov made sure that White`s King did not have any access to the adjacent c file. Another technique to ensure the safety of the Pawn Duo. We can really learn a lot from the expert endgame technique used in this game. Hence the placement of the Black Rook on the c file was ...

Capablanca44: The black squared weakness near Black's castled King was taken advantage of by White. Then once White took control of the h file with his Rook, the game was over. A very instructive positional lesson for us all.

| |
|
Capablanca44: This is a perfect example of forcing a deflection of a piece on to a particular square in order to allow a tactical move such as a Knight fork in this case with a subsequent loss of the Queen for the Knight. It takes a high degree of alertness for Black to foresee the ...
