Jul-07-21 Capablanca vs Janowski, 1911
| |
| Chessmaletaja: The postion after 58. ♘c5-e4!
[DIAGRAM] Black has messed up. His King, Queen and Knight are living in three different worlds. 58...♔h7? lost the game.
58...♕h4 seems to make a draw. Note that this move also tries to give back some coordination between ... |

Jul-03-21 Capablanca vs Corzo / Blanco / Portela, 1910
| |
| Chessmaletaja: 11...♘bd7 is risky. Safer is 11...♗e7.
15...♘xb3 is rushing. Why not 15...a5.

7...cxd4 better was 7...♕c7;

| |
| Chessmaletaja: <SChesshevsky: Seems Keres was able to cleverly transpose Black into some kind of unpleasant King's Indian. Maybe more unpleasant for Alekhine as it looks by the cg database, he rarely or maybe never played it.
Wonder if just the idea he got stuck in this defense caused ... |

Dec-14-20 Oll vs Gipslis, 1982
| |
| Chessmaletaja: With his move <12. h4!> White threatened 13. h5. Whether Black can block it or avoid opening the h-file? 12...h6? 13. h5 Δ 13...g5? 14. ♕d3 +-
12...h5 13. e6! Δ 13...♗xe6 14. ♗xg6! ± My chess engine Komodo says that Black's best move ... |

Dec-12-20 Oll vs Ulibin, 1989
| |
| Chessmaletaja: I have analyzed this game with the chess engine Komodo. The main results are the following: 9...h6?
was a mistake and better was
9...♘f5 Δ 10. g4 ♕h4! =
10. ♗xh6!
was a strong move. Note, however, that the computer initially does not see it! 13. ... |
