Sep-12-03 | | ksadler: Another game with great positional play, sacrifices and combinations by Capablanca. Most of us can only dream of getting a position as Black like Capablanca did after 14. ♔g1. |
|
Dec-17-04 | | Whitehat1963: I definitely don't understand the sacrifices in this game, (a game that features the opening of the day). I can't see the dangers. (Still, you have to love 21... Rxe6.) Someone help. |
|
Dec-17-04 | | Saruman: 38.Ke3 Qxg3+ 39.Ke2 (Kd2 Nc4+ and Qxd6)Bf3+ 40.Kd2 Nc4+ 41.Bxc4 Qxd6( ). |
|
Dec-17-04 | | Whitehat1963: But, for instance, why not 28. gxf4? |

 | | Chessical: <Whitehat1963> Your move may be better than Corzo's, but it still leaves him with an inferior ending: <28.gxf4> gxf4+ 29.Kf2 fxe3+ 30.Kxe3 Bxh1 31.Kxd2 Rg1 32.Bh3 Rxe1 33.Kxe1 d5 34.cxd5 Bxd5 <30.c5?> loses quickly. |

Jul-08-05 | | THE pawn: why did he play 11.kf2? |
|
Jul-08-05 | | Anastasia: <the pawn> 11.0-0-0 Bg7 12.qxg7 qxe3+ looks dangerous cool game, 20.ne6 looked good until 21..rxe6 |
|
Aug-21-05 | | Anastasia: hey wadaya know im right again |

Jan-28-10 | | Rama: 10. ... g6!, offers the rook: 11. Qxh8 Qxe3+, 12. Kd1 Nd3!, 13. Bxd3 Bxd3, 14. Qc3 Bg7!, winning. 15. ... g5!, seeks to break the annoying pin on the e-file decisively: 16. fxg5 Be5!, 17. Bxe5 dxe5, and the pin is broken. Black will regain the pawn, control the open g-file and obtain a mobile center pawn. It would be unwise for white to try to defend the g-pawn with 18. h4. :) The fight continues to swirl around the black g-pawn with 27. ... Nd2!, since 28. gxf4 gxf4+! wins as above. Capa owed a lot to that infantryman. |
|
Jul-16-10 | | sevenseaman: A positional delight, is the appropriate description. Capa often creates very complex positions but this is like kindergarten. <Whitehat> at 47 you may have already found the clarity. |
|
Aug-28-12 | | master of defence: Why not 11.Qxh8? |
|
Aug-29-12 | | TheFocus: <master of defence>< Why not 11.Qxh8?> 11. Qxh8 Qxe3+ 12. Kd1 Ne4 and mate after 13. Nf2+.
Or, 11.Qxh8 Qxe3+ 12.Be2 Bd3 13.Kf1 Qxe2+ 14.Kg1 Qe3 mate. |

Man, switch off that meter... |
|
May-09-14 | | Joe le Taxi: Because of the 28 > 33 black moves. They don't seem accurate for me. Sorry, Man, it was just a question. |

No need for that, I was just joking. I don't know the answer. |

 | | maxi: Does anybody know the story behind this game? Was it just a friendly game? I haven't been able to find anything about it, and it seems to have been played in a rather reckless fashion. |
|
May-11-14 | | RookFile: Well, the Havana 1913 part means it was a tournament. My guess is that Corzo hoped to play something a little unusual in the opening, and try to get an advantage. He knew that Capa didn't study openings. The only problem is it didn't work. |

 | | maxi: Thanks, <RookFile>. |
|
Feb-11-17 | | Notagm: Why didn't black play Ne1 on moves 30 or 32? |
|
Oct-31-20 | | Stolzenberg: 25. h4 would have brought the dead rook back to live, threatening 26. hg. |
