 | | Check It Out: That pun cracked me up! |

 | | Phony Benoni: <offramp> This was the first of two national-level events Capablanca played at New York in 1913. He started this event 10-0, but lost to Jaffe in round 11 and finished with draws against Chajes and Marshall, ending up 1/2-point ahead of the latter. In the Summer, Capablanca was credited with a 13-0 score at the Rice Chess Club Summer Tournament. I put it that way because two of the players withdrew very early (after rounds 1 and 4), but their games were included as losses in the final crosstable instead of being cancelled and disregarded. This allowed Capablanca to match Lasker's 13-0 feat at New York 1893. (He actually did face one of the dropouts, so scored 12-0 in games actually played.) |

| May-27-12 | | ChessMystery: Wow, that was amazing, very cool game by Capa :) |
|
| May-27-12 | | goodevans: The best thing about this game is the pun. A contender for my all time top favourite list. Of course Capa's play was exemplary but his opponent made a succession of really poor decisions. Capa put him into positions where he had to think and he showed himself to not be up to the task. |

| May-27-12 | | Llawdogg: That pin would have bothered me enough to put my bishop on e2 right away and then castle. That was ridiculous. |
|
| May-27-12 | | Abdel Irada: To judge by Zapoleon's play, an entire colony of black cats must have crossed his path before this chessic Waterloo. |
|
| May-27-12 | | ChessMystery: I think the biggest mistake of white here was to give up its queenside so fast and so easy, is that right? |
|
| May-27-12 | | Rook e2: Capa tortured him. LOUIS B ZAPOLEON has no wins in the database, but he has a draw against Marshall |
|
| May-27-12 | | LoveThatJoker: Awesome game by the budding WC Capablanca!
:D LTJ |

 | | Honza Cervenka: 18.Rc1 looks like a decisive mistake. Instead of that 18.Na7 forcing black to sac an exchange was much better. |

| May-27-12 | | phoenix of zeravand: black finishing it realy beautiful |

 | | FSR: Congrats to <Phony Benoni> on the excellent pun! |
|
| May-27-12 | | The Big Lebowski: Capablanca plays this game like an avalanche! |
|
| May-27-12 | | King Sacrificer: I didn't know there's a tower defense in chess. |
|
| May-27-12 | | jhelix70: LOL
Best...pun...ever |
|
| May-27-12 | | JohnBoy: Nice pun, weak game. White must have thought the black queen was getting trapped - otherwise I can't understand his play. |
|
| May-27-12 | | CharlyNY: Im in a public place, and I was laughing so hard at the pun that the people started looking funny at me. it's a weak game, but the pun is good because Zapoleon really was blown apart in the tactics. Don´t try to mess with Capa! |

 | | SteinitzLives: During this game white must have felt a monkey on his back, and when it was over, he just had to reach into the future and sing or at least caterwaul: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_cY... |
|
| May-27-12 | | TheTamale: <waustad>: I like your description of the game. Very apt. |
|
| May-27-12 | | Oceanlake: Think xthred hit the nail on the head. 5. Be2 looks sane. |
|
| May-27-12 | | Abdel Irada: PB, I hope this won't alarm you, but I think you and I are both alumni of the same pun-itentiary. I've been guilty of the following riddle for decades: "Q.: What would the headlines have read following the battle of Waterloo if the British had access to heavy artillery? A.: 'Napoleon blown apart.'" As you see, great minds think alike. And so do ours. ;-) |

Russian dives on a granade:Destroyed-evsky
Frenchman dives on grenade: Napoleon blown-apart.
American falling on grenade: Lucky-it was a dud! |

He started this event 10-0, but lost to Jaffe in round 11 and finished with draws against Chajes and Marshall, ending up 1/2-point ahead of the latter.> So Zapoleon's draw in L B Zapoleon vs Marshall, 1913 deprived Marshall of a tie for first - though I daresay Capablanca would have tried harder against Chajes (draw in 22) and Marshall (draw in 18) if he'd had to. |
