|
| May-30-11 | | Shams: <aw> Your line is good but simply 12...Qxg4  as 13.Nd2?? Bf2+ ups the harvest to a queen. |
|
| May-30-11 | | ossipossi: It is like from <2...Bc5> everything is already in Capa's mind. Flawless, as usual, like a crystal. |

| May-30-11 | | ughaibu: What's the story if white plays 9.Nd7? |
|
| May-30-11 | | Garech: Honestly, I find it hard to believe that this is Capablanca playing. I thought perhaps it was from early in his career, and though he was only a teenager when this game was played, there are a remarkable amount of blunders and inaccurate, tactical play that isn't like his style at all. Firstly, of course, there's dropping a pawn in the opening. But also, what is black doing after 9.Nxg4? E.g. ...Nxg4 and now 10.Qd1! Appears to keep white ahead:

Something that looked good initially after 9.Nxg4 Nxg4 was 10.dxc5!? but quite incredibly black is able to gain an advantage here with Nxc5! and best play is ostensbily 11.Qd4 Re8! giving up a third peice for a winning attack: 12.Qxc5 Rxe4+! 13.Be2 Qh4+ 14.g3 Qh3:

 | | scormus: Strange game.
<Garech> After 9 Nxg4 Nxg4 10 Qd1 I'm not sure if B has a resource in ... Nde5. OK 2 pieces attacked, so may as well 3. On a quick look I think 11 dxe5 or dxc5 nets B an edge after 11 ... Qxd2 12 Kxd1 Nf2+ but its hardly vintage Capa. But its more tricky after 11 Bd2. Best I can find is 11 ... Qh4+ 12 g3 Qh3 and there are certainly ways W can go wrong. But surely all W has to do is keep his nerve and he comes out a piece ahead. Doesnt he? |
|
| May-30-11 | | janatoli2: I believe that 9. Bg5 loses the game and 10. dxe5 is also a weak one. 9.Nxg4 seems indeed critical to me as for <Garech> (BTW a casual or prearranged game of Capa? - in 1907 he was already damned strong) and <scormus> but I would propose to play 10.Be2 afterwards to develop a piece, prepare to castle and to keep an eye on blacks Nd7 (to bind blacks queen). Bf4 could be an important move prior to castling to control the squares e5 and h2. The strong pawn center and extra pawn should win for white then. Means also, white should not take the piece on c5 too early. |

| | scormus: <janatoli2> thnks for the correction, I meant 10. Be2 (My chessboard dyslexia again). I looked some more and was sure W was clearly better then. I can easily imagine this was an offhand game, Capa giving up an early pawn for speculative attacking chances |
|
| May-30-11 | | Chessmensch: Play with white or black. Both powders will kill you. |

 | | Wayne Power: What's wrong with 8 Nxd7 for white?
If 8 ... Bxd7 9 Qc4 and with d3 to follow |
|
| May-30-11 | | hudgreen: ouch! |
|
| May-31-11 | | kevin86: black will mate-soonest... |
|
| Jun-03-11 | | ossipossi: Naaah!... if <10.Be2> follows <10...Re8>. I don't think Capablanca cared pawns in a King's gambit against Mr. Pulvermacher. Every Capa's piece is poisoned... Obviously There was not Lasker or Alechin (or Fritz) in front of him. |

| Jan-10-14 | | Wulebgr: Great analysis; great video! Thanks kingscrusher.
The position prior to 10...Nxe4 popped up in my training on the Chessimo iPad app this morning. I solved it. The real complications come earlier, where this game reveals that Capablanca was amazing even early in his career. |
