Capablanca’s insight.

By Majnu

In chess history there has been one man that we could call a truely master of endgames. Of course I mean the former world champion José Raúl Capablanca. Capablanca had the ability to exploit a small advantage and maneuver elegantly towards victory.

In this example we see how Capablanca manages to win this game against A. Kevitz with a few very strong and surprising moves. The game was played in New York 1931.

    I don´t see how black can win after

    1… g5 2. Qf3!? (2. Qf2 Qxf2) 2… Qa5 3. Qf2 Rd8 =

    The second option is also equal. Can you offer more details how Black would progress in this position?

    1… Rb8!? 2. g5 Qc7 =
