twin phoenix: I, too, thought this game reminded me of Nimzo and "his system." Capa was a great player! for those that think of him as an ending master only this is a great game that showed his more tactical side.

twin phoenix: this is 'the classic bishop sacrifice' (see Vukovic!!)beginners should note the position right before 8. Bxh7+!. this position (or ones similar to it) can arise from the French and Caro Kann. 1. Note Blacks N is not on F6. 2. the G5 square is covered so that white can place his

twin phoenix: yeah this puzzle is interesting from a spoiler point of view.
i found 18. B-f6 but dismissed it because the "spoiler" 19. R-b4. alas, as <memthecat> points out above this is no good and thus i would have lost...
