| Sep-16-13 | | DcGentle: Today I found this game by accident. Well, don't you think there are certain similarities to Chessgames Challenge: The World vs Akobian, 2012 ? At least a V pawn formation can be detected and the game ended with a knight move! Seriously, the World played a very fine positional game as well, and Capablanca would be proud.

| Aug-14-14 | | posoo: Now dis - DIS - is TRULY a game dat makes chess look like WAR. BARRACADE da boundary. MAKE A LITTLE HOLE and line up da troupes where they can come in. da GENEARL surveys da landscape by walking around a little bit. THEN you line up all your forces. SOMEBODY has to charge first. HERE it is Mr. Bishap on 55. ba6. He knew what was happening. HE SIGNED UP for da war. So he falls on da sord. and den WHOOSH. da troops come streming in. Sadly Mr. Rook has to die too before black realizes he is on da losing side. If blak had any sense he wood have resined after 42 Ra7. But deep down I think he likes a little bludshed. ALL OF YOU are slightly excited by da spilling of blood. NO? Chessplayers? |

That was great fun ... |

| Dec-09-14 | | solskytz: What an amazing game! What a strategical masterpiece and lesson! Before white advances b6, the plan looks rather suspicious to this kibitzer - is he really going to fix b7 as a target for attack? And how is he ever going to go about it? Capablanca's answer is a definite eye opener. Thanks chessgames.com for making such exemplary games so easily available for chess students. |

| Oct-07-17 | | Saniyat24: engrossing game...After White's 46 moves the board is pretty as a picture...Capablanca has gained all the initiative and space and Treybal is constricted to 5th to the 8th rank...with all his heavy artillery on the back rank... |

 | | GrahamClayton: Interesting to see that the game ends with 6 consecutive moves with captures, after the previous 16 moves of no captures, with Capablanca slowly improving his position and Treybal just shuffling his pieces. |

After 53...Be8 54. Na5 Rd7, Black has one less piece covering the 8th rank so now 55. Nxb7 Rxb7 <56. Ra8> becomes possible. |
|
| May-03-19 | | N.O.F. NAJDORF: Yes, you're right.
I wonder whether Fischer got the idea of putting all his heavy pieces on the a-file from this game. Fischer vs Spassky, 1992 |

| Apr-04-20 | | SeanAzarin: About the only way that fork at the end could be better is if had also been a check. |

| | GrahamClayton: Playing through this game again after a few years, I wonder why Capablanca didn't play 47. Ra8 Qxa8 48. Rxa8 Rxa8 49. Qb4? Is it because Treybal could possibly set up a fortress and stop Capablanca infiltrating his position via the a-file? |

Can you explain why you think your suggested line would be good for White? Two rooks are worth more than a queen, also usually exchanges are more helpful for a player in a cramped position. |

You are correct - why would Capablanca do this when Ba6 wins anyway. |

| Nov-16-20 | | mlskdney: i joined a local club recently but now online bc of the virus and everyone talks about capablanca but this is too hard to understand. i should probably get practise before i look at his games. |

| Aug-22-22 | | ytroitsky: Black's opening choice was a bit strange, giving up the <dark-squared bishop which is key in the stonewall positions> as Black, then Capablanca proceeded to block the centre and slowly squeeze the life out of Black. In the end he exploited the a-file and prepared the normal <Ba6 or Nxb7 sacrifice>, which is used quite a lot, for example in the <King's Indian Classical> where <...f4/...g3/ h3/...Nxg2!!/ Kxg2/...Nh4+!/...Qxh3 ∓>. After that he proceeded Karpov - style to win the game using tactics. This is what you call master chess. Absolutely brilliant by Capablanca. |
