  offramp: Capablanca mentioned that this kingside formation was impervious to attack.

I believe he mentions that in <The Unknown Capablanca>.

In this game I think Carl Schlechter has a very good position.

The c-pawns are under attack. The doubled rooks on the d-file are pretty menacing.
There could have been a sudden storm.
28...Bf6! <Simply threatening ....Bxc3.>.
29.Bb4. Now there is a very good move:
29...Qf4!

Black is threatening 30...Be5 with a mating attack. To stop that, White can play
30. Qc2, but Black now changes direction:
30...Qc4! This attacks the ♖ on b5.
31. Rb7.

31...Bd4+. The white ♕ is pinned.
32. Kh1 Rd2!

The Black threats are ...Rxc2 and ...Qf1#.

Of course, that is all theoretical.

An interesting moment.
