May-03-22 Capablanca vs Alekhine, 1927
| |
| N.O.F. NAJDORF: I think Capablanca made many wrong moves.
I think he should have played 11.Bd3 instead of 11.Be2 and that
14.Nd4, 15.b4, 16.Bg3 and 17.Qb3
were all wrong too,
giving him a very passive position.
One of the big differences between his position and black's is that black's |
