| Dec-17-02 | | ughaibu: This was Capablanca's worst tournament, it's said that he suffered a stroke during it. It's probably Fine's best tournament, they played two exciting draws. Here I think Fine's mistake was f4, I read somewhere that if he first excahanges queens then plays f4 his position is much better. |

| Dec-17-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: AVRO marked the end of both Capablanca and Alekhine. |
|
| Dec-17-02 | | Sabatini: JR Capablanca later did well at Margate and was without a loss in the Buenos Aires chess olympics. |
|
| Dec-17-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: Perhaps I spoke too soon. |
|
| Dec-17-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: Could you tell about the weather during the 1927 match? |
|
| Dec-17-02 | | Sabatini: I do not know about the weather in Buenos Aries in the spring of 1927. How would I know that? |
|
| Dec-17-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: I was under the impression that you hailed from down that way. I must have had you confused with somebody else. Pero ché, no sos argentino. |
|
| Dec-19-02 | | Sabatini: Not exactly. |
|
| Dec-20-02 | | Kulla Tierchen: Tant mieux; passons. |

| Dec-18-04 | | capanegra: This was a great fight. <ughaibu>, I think your right, 22.♕xf5 ♗xf5 23.f4 could have been better for White. But even after that, Fine still had the chance to get a superior ending: 26.fxe5! and Black is in deep trouble. If 26...♖xg2+ 27.♖xg2 ♗xg2 28.e6+! And if 26...♕xe5 27.h3! ♖h4 28.♕xd4 ♕xd4 29.♘xd4 ♗xg2 30.♘f5. The move 26.♘c5? gave Capablanca the opportunity to reply with a bright combination with ♗xg2!-♖ag8!-exf4! threatening f3 and ♕xc5 at the same time. Unfortunately he missed 42...f5! at the end, which would have resulted in a favorable Queen ending. |

| Mar-25-05 | | Karpova: <ughaibu: Here I think Fine's mistake was f4, I read somewhere that if he first excahanges queens then plays f4 his position is much better.> this is wrong. 22.f4 is a very good move (in fact winning).
the mistake was 26.nc5? while fe:! was the winning move. belavenetz has analysed this position. |
|
| Mar-25-05 | | RookFile: Although Capablanca was not at his
best, this game shows what a terrific
defender he was. |
|
| Aug-14-07 | | Karpova: Reinfeld says after 26.Nc5 that <Fine had six minutes left for thirteen moves, Capablanca only had one minute left!> which is amazing. |
|
| Aug-18-09 | | WhiteRook48: and he drew |
|
| Jul-21-10 | | sevenseaman: <ughaibu> yes. It is important for white to exchange Queens as early as possible.
Hereon after qeens are off the board white has a better position.

|
| Mar-30-15 | | Howard: Hans Ree once said in New in Chess that Fine missed a win in this game. Was it on the 26th move ? |
|
| Mar-30-15 | | jvv: Yes, probably 26.Nc5 was the last mistake. |

 | | perfidious: <Kulla Tierchen: AVRO marked the end of both Capablanca and Alekhine.> Alekhine underwent a reincarnation during WWII. |
|
| Nov-03-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: I have read that Capablanca suffered a heart attack during this tournament, although he did later die of a stroke. |
