Nov-29-09 O Bernstein vs Capablanca, 1914 
| |
|
maxi: <MaczynskiPratten> Capa was a gold mint celebrity at a time when there were very few. Countless books and articles were written about him and his games. It is very unlikely he would have read/cared about Marshall's book. And if by any chance he had seen and read in this book ...

maxi: I have to completely disagree with any statement that questions Fischer's objectivity when it came to chess and chess players per se. Apart from his delusions concerning Jews, world politics, and his frequent bickering about "Russian" (Soviet) chess players colluding to win a ...

maxi: I have seen comments by GM's on Sammy's limited opening knowledge. Yet he was a great player. He, like Capa, was extremely precocious. I have a suspicion that he would be good at modifications of chess. Was he very good at fast chess Chessgames Home Page ?

|
maxi: White's game is very harmonious. This game shows, once again, that doubling pawns in front of the king is always dangerous.

|
maxi: Absolutely. One should NOT resign this type of ending. As a matter of fact there are many games on record where the weak side draws... and sometimes wins! They are tricky and dangerous, and accident prone. Either side can easily get mated at any moment. They are also very tiring which ...

| |
|
maxi: 12.g3! is an imaginative, powerful move. The reason Bronstein loses is because of his antipositional 15.c4?, two moves later. Botvinnik himself gives 15.xf4

| |
maxi: I agree that the move 15...fxg6! was imaginative, but all that Black has achieved so far is equality. White has a sound development plan in  df3,  e2,
