 | | Bishoprick: Urusov Gambit? Why does it look so much like the Max Lange? |
|
| Nov-17-06 | | syracrophy: <bishoprick> The Urusov Gambit is: 1.e4 e5 2.♗c4 ♘f6 3.d4!? |
|
| Apr-01-07 | | beginner64: I like how white allows black to capture the pawn on a3, knowing that bishop then has to make many moves to get back to g file. I don't think in such an open game it would have been possible for either side to calculate the pawn progression path after 46..Bxa3, but I think white just knew that g file pawn would be unstoppable after that. |
|
| Nov-17-08 | | hrvyklly: <Koster: Without getting too deep into theory 16...Bd6 looks much better than Be7.> I don't know, ask Tarrasch... Marshall vs Tarrasch, 1910 |
|
| Mar-03-09 | | Owl: I don't think Capablanca ever lost a (Capa)Rook -Bishop vs. Rook-Knight endgame. It shows how skilled he was with the Bishop kind like Bobby Fischer |
|
| Oct-21-09 | | The Chess Express: The position after 21. Qe3 Bc5 22. Rxe5 Bxe3 23. Rxd5 Bxh6 24. Rxd7 Kxd7 25. Nxc4 Rxg7 26. h3 is probably winning for white.
click for larger viewBlack's d-♙ is lost. It seems to me that this tactical sequence works much better if black first plays 21...b5! to stop white's ♘ from taking on c4. Now if 22. b3 Bc5 23. Rxe5? doesn't work anymore. For example 23...Bxe3 24. Rxd5 Bxh6 25. Rxd7 Kxd7 26. Ne4 Rxg7 27. h3 
click for larger viewBlack has an easy win. After 21. Qe3 b5 22. b3 Bc5 White should probably try 23. Qg3 when one sample line might go 23...Nf7 24. bxc4 bxc4 25. Be3 Rxg7 26. Bxc5 Qxc5 27. Rxc4 Qe5

 | | al wazir: Lange is pronounced "long-e" (with a hard 'g'). It doesn't rhyme with range. |
|
| Aug-01-19 | | sfm: LOL, trust this to be a Marshall game. Wonderful! This is one of the two games where he beat his great opponent. In their encounters the db reports wins 22 wins to Capa and 28 draws. |
|
| Aug-01-19 | | tino72: <al wazir: Lange is pronounced "long-e" (with a hard 'g'). It doesn't rhyme with range.> He was German, so phoenetically I would pronounce his name "lang-e" (to rhyme with "banger". |

| Aug-01-19 | | Ironmanth: LOVE this game! Intricate, lovely, fantastic. Thanks, chessgames. |
|
| Aug-01-19 | | Krishanu Chatterjee: Great chess. |
|
| Aug-01-19 | | Momentum Man: @ tino72
My German instructor in college didn’t teach us to put an “r” sound at the end of an “e”. Does the Deutsche spelling of Lange put an umlaut on e? That would change the pronunciation but still not give an r sound |

| Aug-02-19 | | tino72: @Momentum Man:
You are quite right - there would not be an "r" sound - I should have tried to find a better rhyming word than "banger" but I couldn't think of one in English! And there is no umlaut on Lange. |

 | | Diademas: <Owl: I don't think Capablanca ever lost a (Capa)Rook -Bishop vs. Rook-Knight endgame. It shows how skilled he was with the Bishop kind like Bobby Fischer> Eh? Wasn't that exactly what happened here? |
|
Aug-05-19
 | | perfidious: Pointing out that Capablanca was Fischer-like is very clearly putting the cart before the horse; for much of the clarity and directness in the Brooklyn grandmaster's style was attributable to his study of Capa's games. |
|
Apr-01-22
 | | dorsnikov: I think that Frank Marshall beat Capa more times than any other Grand Master. |
|
Apr-01-22
 | | Williebob: ^^ Nah, not even close. Alekhine scored the most wins against Capablanca (mostly during the 1927 match), but the CG database shows their head-to-head lifetime score remains in Capa's favor:
Jose Raul Capablanca beat Alexander Alekhine 9 to 7, with 33 draws.
Juan Corzo won 5 games from Capa, but a big asterisk there; Capa was just beginning his chess career, and Corzo provided the necessary seasoning for Capa to take his next step.
Nobody had a winning head-to-head score against Capa, and very few players won more than a single game against him during his time as a world class player. Marshall's lifetime score against the maestro was:
Jose Raul Capablanca beat Frank Marshall 21 to 2, with 28 draws. |
