 | | Sneaky: 13.Qf3 is a beautiful move, but is it the most accurate choice? |
|
| Jun-21-03 | | fred lennox: I believe so. Queen wants to go to h3 and uses f3 as a threat saving himself a tempo. Otherwise, 13 0-0 (say)...Bb7. |
|
| Dec-17-03 | | Lawrence: Something fishy here, I can't believe that Capa gone and done and did it! (Or am I missing something?) 26.Qh7+ Kf8 27.Qh8#. I checked in Panov and "Chess Stars" and they both show 26.Qg6+. Not only that but our metal friends find mate in 6 after 21.Nxh6+ instead of 21.Bxf6. Sneaky, Panov mentions that 13.Qf3 was introduced by the Swedish GM Stahlberg and was a novelty in 1935, before that the main lines were 13.0-0 and 13.Bxb5+. |
|

 | | Chessical: On the evening before the game Stahlberg had shown his idea of 13.Qf3 to Capablanca who then played it against Levenfish. |
|
| Dec-17-03 | | talchess2003: A sharp game would have arisen after:
11. exf6 dxc3 12. fxg7 Bxg7 (12... cxb2 13. gxh8=Q bxa1=Q 14. Qxf8+! Kxf8 15. Ba3+) 13. Qc2 cxb2 And now white will face two appealing prospects of recapture. I would not mind playing white in this position, even though he is a pawn down he has good chances |

| | Chessical: <talchess2003> I believe that your proposed line is significantly worse for White: 11.exf6 dxc3 12.fxg7 Bxg7 13.Qc2 <Nc5!> 14.Be2 (14.Bxh7? cxb2 15.Bxb2 Bxb2 16.Qxb2 Rxh7) 14...Bb7 15.bxc3 Be4 16.Qd2 Qf6 17.Qd4 Rd8 18.Qxc5 Qxc3+ 19.Qxc3 Bxc3+ 20.Nd2 Bf5 |
|
| Dec-18-03 | | Lawrence: Oops, I copied down the wrong move yesterday. Of course 26.Qg6+ is correct. Every time I open my mouth I stick my foot in it. |
|
| Dec-18-03 | | talchess2003: <Talchess: I believe that your proposed line is significantly worse for White> I never said it was better. I just glanced at it, wrote it down, and deemed it interesting. I commented "it would be a sharp game" and it was, Nc5 ruins white's intiative. Its good that you tookthe time to look further into it. BTW, in the future, when you use a computer you are supposed to cite your sources. I found that line in Fritz8's analysis =\ |
|
Dec-18-03
| | Chessical: <talchess2003> Actually it is not Fritz's analysis. I put the line into Fritz 7, and it came up with better moves than mine! 11.exf6 dxc3 12.fxg7 Bxg7 13.Qc2 is your original line, <Nc5!>14.Be2 Bb7 15.bxc3 Be4 16.Qd2 is new but scarely difficult, then my 16.Qf6 is shown as weaker than either of Fritz's suggestions 16...Na4 or Qa5. |
|
| Dec-18-03 | | talchess2003: <chessical: Actually it is not Fritz's analysis. I put the line into Fritz 7, and it came up with better moves than mine!> Fritz only gave me up to Nc5. I didn't look any further, but it did say that black had a significant advantage. So either all your moves from 14-20 were just scribbled down to help make your point even if they were unsensible, or you actually looked at all the variations in 8 moves to the future, so that may be 8 variations all at th edepth of 8 moves. When you put down 10 moves and claim that line to be the best that suggests you looked into all the other subvariations, which would be a feat for Kasparov, 8-10 variations, all at 8-10 depth.. More concise would have been just to say "13... Nc5 turning the tables" ;p Thats why I thought u used a computer. Of course most could probably do this when they get out the board and play it out, just to do all the variations in the opening of 8-10 moves depth and then find the best one out in your head at the computer screen would be very impressive. |
|
| Dec-18-03 | | talchess2003: Anyways, 13... Nc5! was a good move that you found. It truly does turn the tables and erase what I thought to be white's compensation for the pawn. Nice find :P |

 | | Mateo: About 17... Rc5?, Golombek writes "Forced; for if 17... Bb7 18. Ng4 threatening either mate or Bc7." But this leads to a quick loss. After 18... h6!? 19. Bc7 Qa8 20. Ba5 Qa5, Black has a pawn + the bishop pair for the exchange. Weinstein suggests 18... Ne4!? 19. Bc7 Qa8 20. Ba5 Qa5, but after 21. f3 the Knight is misplaced. Panov suggests 17... Rd5.

| | Mateo: Not so decisive would be "21. Nh6 gh 22. Qh6, and Black is still alive" (Golombek) Completely wrong. 22. Bf6 with a mating net : 22... Bf6 23. Qh6 Re8 24. Bh7 Kh8 25. Bg6 Kg8 26. Qh7 Kf8 27. Qf7 mate. So Nh6 was the best here. |

| Apr-07-08 | | MichAdams: Alekhine, annotating the game, Alekhine vs Bogoljubov, 1934, for his Best Games book (published 1939), comments after his 9.0-0: <Nowadays the leading masters consider that the line 9.e4 c5 10.e5 cxd4 11.Nxb5 Nxe5 12.Nxe5 axb5 13.Qf3! is decidely advantageous for White. But in 1934 the 13th move of White in this variation had not yet been sufficiently considered and the Meran Variation's shares stood pretty high. Therefore the quiet move in the text.> Alekhine obviously hadn't appreciated that Petrov had found a sufficient defence in Reshevsky vs V Petrov, 1937 when he even emerged from the opening with an advantage. |

| Sep-14-08 | | AnalyzeThis: Incisive play by Capablanca! |
|
| Sep-14-08 | | whiteshark: HURRAH !!!! BRONSTEIN'S THEORY IS RIGHT !!!!!
Game Collection: x- - -> Bronstein's theory how Capablanca won |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | C4gambit: Why not 21. ... Bxf6 instead of gxf6? What am I missing? |
|
Jun-26-10
 | | Benzol: <C4gambit> <Why not 21. ... Bxf6 instead of gxf6? What am I missing?> If 21...Bxf6 22.Nxh6+ gxh6 23.Qxh6 Re8 24.Bh7+ Kh8 25.Bg6+ Kg8 26.Qh7+ Kf8 27.Qxf7 mate. |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | C4gambit: Never mind... i got it... 22. Nxh6+ gxh6 (otherwise Nxf7+ and the queen is lost), 23. Qxh6 Re8 24. Bh7+ Kh8 25. Bg6+ Kg8 26. Qh7+ Kf8 27. Qxf7 ++ |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | C4gambit: Although I saw the bishop move to h7 after i posted my first kibitz, but thanks anyway to Benzol |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | randomsac: Once again the queen and knight team up for a lethal combination. |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | kevin86: Capa can attack---as well as sharks can hunt. |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | SuperPatzer77: After 26. Qg6+, Black resigns in lieu of 26...Kf8, 27. Nxh8! (stronger than 27. Nxd8 and threatening 28. Qf7#) Qe8 (only move), 28. Qh6+ Kg8, 29. Qh7+ Kf8, 30. Ng6+ Qxg6, 31. Bxg6 (forcing the inevitable mate in next move) 1-0 SuperPatzer77 |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | DarthStapler: 28. Bh7+ Kxh8 29. Bg6+ Kg8 30. Qh7+ Kf8 31. Qh8# is faster |
|
| Jun-26-10 | | Once: <randomsac: Once again the queen and knight team up for a lethal combination.> Indeed. I read somewhere that some grandmasters have a saying "queen and knight, you'll be alright". Perhaps the queen and knight combine so well because they don't share each others powers, and this allows them to cover more squares for tactics like mating combinations. |
