LeSwamp: A) 7.Ne2?! Other moves, such as 7.0-0 ; 7.Ne4 or 7.Bf4 could be better to secure an advantage. B) 9.h3!? This |

LeSwamp: A) 3...b6!?. Compare with the 3rd match game : 3...e6 4.Bd3 b6 5.b3 Bb7 6.Nbd2 Bb4 7.Bb2 Ne4 8.Bxe4? fxe4! 9.Ne5 0-0?! 10.c3! Be7 11.Qg4! Rf5 12.f3! exf3 13.gxf3!? Bh4+ 14.Ke2 Qf6 15.Qh3 d6 16.Ng4 Qe7 17.Rhg1 Kh8 the game ... |

LeSwamp: K) 28.Rc6?! Corzo's confusion... Beatgiant seems to have felt that maybe this move was not the best. Again 28.h4 clear advantage White ; 28.Rc5 Rc8 (on 28...Rb8 29.b3 huge advantage White ; on 28...kf7 29.g4 huge advantage White) 29.Kf2 Clear advantage White. L) 28...Bd7?? Loses the |

LeSwamp: A)7...Qe7+. Corzo's improvement over the 7th match game play? The game in question went 7...Bd6 8.Bd3 Be6?! (8...0-0 was better) 9.Qe2 Kd7 10.0-0-0 g6! 11.h4 f5 12.h5! f4?!/? (12...Re8 was far better) 13.Re1 fxg3 14.Qxe6+ Kc7 15.fxg3! Nd7 16.hxg6 hxg6 17.Rxh8 Qg5+ 18.Qe3! Qxe3+ ... |

LeSwamp: A) 10.Kf2! A serious improvement over the 6th game of the match, when Corzo played 10.Be2?! f3! 11.gxf3 gxf3 12.0-0?? (12.dxc6 was the only move) Qxh4 (only move) 13. Bxf3 Nf6 (only move) 14.Bh5+ The game was a draw, but Capablanca had a winning game. B) 14.Qxb6? In such a difficult |

LeSwamp: A) 5...exf6 is the only move. Funny : 5...gxf6?? 6.Qh5# B) 8...Be6?! appears dubious. I prefer 8...0-0 or 8...g6 with idea of 0-0. C) 12...f4?!/?. At best, this move is dubious and probably worst than that! One could think of 12...Bf4+ 13.Kb1 Re8! White small advantage ; or 12...Re8 |

LeSwamp: A) 3.f4?! This move appears dubious here. Corzo probably thinks Capablanca weak on tactics and whishes to bring in a wild game. B) 5.h4!?. 5.h3 appears less risky.
C) 6.Ng5? This is a mistake. Corzo had to play 6.Ng1! Nf6 7.d3 Black advantage. D) 10.Be2?! f3! Black winning ... |

LeSwamp: Capablanca now decided to play Q-pawn games, instead of K-pawn games as White. A) 7...c4?! Already a weak move! 7...cxd4 8.Nxd4 (8.exd4 Bd6=) Bd6= ; or 7...a5!? could lead to a small advantage for White though. B) 13...Rac8?! 14.Ne5! White now has a clear advantage. Corzo's move ... |
