Sep-14-12 A Hodges vs Lasker, 1892
| |
|
paladin at large: Attractive play by Lasker fixing the white pawns on e4 and c4, exchanging off the major pieces and leaving white with a bad ending. Hodges was a strong player but looks helpless from an early stage.

| |
|
paladin at large: <visayanbraindoctor> The game you show, and this one here, show Maróczy to be a cool defender. Interesting here how Nagy offers to sacrifice the exchange of both rooks.

|
paladin at large: Why not 18. Ra4

|
| | Mar-30-12 M Monticelli vs Yates, 1926
| |
|
paladin at large: Very interesting pressure by Monticelli. The e-file is fairly clogged after 14. Rae1 but, before long White has a protected advanced passed pawn on the e-file and makes Black uncomfortable. 29...Bb2 looks like exasperation.

| |
|
paladin at large: A great find and story. The handwriting on the Hotel Regina stationery appears to be the same as that of Capa's score in one of his WCM games against Alekhine. Excellent work, especially by Winter.

| |
|
paladin at large: Pronunciation: Here you can hear both Capablanca and Han Hollander (a Dutchman) pronounce Euwe's name. http://www.geschiedenis24.nl/speler... I apologize if this has already been presented here; it was over on the Lasker link.
