Oct-11-22 Capablanca vs J Lynch, 1911
|
amdixon: Capablanca is able to play 12. b4 as neither knight or bishop can take.
[DIAGRAM]
If 12...Bxb4 then 13. Bxc6 bxc6 14. Nxb4 winning a piece
or if 12...Nxb4 then 13. Nxf6 gxf6 14. Bh6+ Rg7 15. Qg4 and 16. Qxg7 wins the rook.
Capablanca then doubles the f pawns with the pin on Nf6 ... |

Sep-27-22 Capablanca vs W Morris, 1911
|
amdixon: In the final position all of Whites pieces are active on the kingside attacking the queen and a mate
[DIAGRAM]
with 28. Rxh7+ Kxh7 29. Qh5# or if 27. Qf8 then 29. Qh5+ Qh3 30. Qxh3#.
The only way to continue playing for black is to sacrifice the g8 rook with 27...Rxh2+ 28. Kxh2 |

amdixon: With 16...Qh4 Jaffe cant take the bishop on move 17 as would get mated like:
17. axb6 Qxh3 18. Bg5 f4 19. Rxa7 Rf5 20. Rxa8+ Kf7
[DIAGRAM]
and Jaffe has nothing left to stop either Rxg5# or Rh5 and Qh1# |
