|
| Apr-29-14 | | newzild: Capablanca pays the price for disobeying his own rule: "Every move - no matter how obvious - must be checked". He then goes on to put up a tremendous fight for another 50 moves. What a champ! |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | Aniara: Love the pun. With a dream in your heart you're never alone. |

 | | Richard Taylor: < perfidious: Kasparov in OMGP on Capablanca's blunder: < '....The secret of this "blunder of the year" was revealed by the victim himself. It turns out that before Capa's ninth move a beautiful brunette appeared in the hall-his wife Gloria, who had turned up out of the blue from Havana. This "opening surprise" shocked the master: he was having an affair with a beautiful blonde....'>> Is Carlsen partial or affected by beautiful blonds? If so, assuming he is "batting for our side", then something could be arranged by Anand or another rival! |

| | Richard Taylor: <brankat: There is another memorable game which Capablanca lost as Black when playing Saemisch variation of Nimzo Indian: Lilienthal vs Capablanca, 1935
A beautiful win by Lilienthal!>
Thanks for this - yes, a great game by Lillienthal. He was a great master in his day. |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | anjyplayer: Whats so great about this game ? |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | john barleycorn: <anjyplayer: Whats so great about this game ?> That Saemisch did not lose on time. |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | gars: Great pun! As for games in this tournament I prefer Capa vs Mattison. |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | Mating Net: Great pun, game not so much. |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | john barleycorn: no way, Jose. |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | solskytz: Why must I lose to this idiot? |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | psmith: <LIFE Master AJ>: It's Capablanca playing the magnificent defense after the horrible blunder, and lasting 60+ moves against Saemisch. Which perhaps makes things more understandable, but still gives credit to Saemisch. |

 | | kevin86: It looked like black's connectors would win, but they fell a step short. A RARE Capa misjudgment. |
|
Apr-29-14
| | kevin86: Sad to see that these two played only twice- with one win each. |
|
| Apr-29-14 | | thegoodanarchist: I loved the song and I loved living in San Jose in 2005. What a great time and too short. When I was a child the song came out and it brings back double memories of childhood and living in the city. |

| Jun-06-14 | | wellsometimes: Tales are interesting, amusing. Strictly from the standpoint of learning, once Capa made his blunder, things change to how Saemisch should have technically managed to win the game. To stop, to slow, to unharm, somehow, the desperate Black's pawn storm on the kingside, seems to be fruitful. Why not to play, for instance, 23.h4? Commentators would have analyzed moves like that? Which are their downsides? |
|

 | | offramp: I often get the impression that Capablanca was very uncomfortable with any opening that evolved after 1914. |
|
| Jun-23-16 | | edubueno: The presence of Gloria affected Capa's game. |
|
| Jun-05-18 | | Whitehat1963: Thursday puzzle after 26...Bd7. |
|
| Nov-24-18 | | mikealando: It would be kind to note that Saemisch owned the opening. |
|
| Sep-10-20 | | m.okun: In my opinion, Capablanca played the opening carelessly and lost a piece. |
|
| Sep-10-20 | | Granny O Doul: <m.okun> I think your view falls well within the main stream. |
|
| May-08-23 | | Albion 1959: Hard to believe that Capablanca would blunder a piece as early as move 9! Why not play Bb7 or O-O instead?
Delayed castling got Capablanca intro trouble against Lilienthal in 1935. Credit to Capablanca for not resigning and fighting on for another 50 moves a piece down. He made Saemisch fight to the bitter end in a fitful struggle! |
