1.d4 {Notes by Jacques Mieses and Dr. Savielly Tartakower. ***
Tartakower: In a game overflowing with the finer points of
positional play, the outstanding feature is perhaps the
problem-like turn 17.Qc1, by which White very elegantly saves
all his unguarded pieces and remains with an extra pawn.} d5
2.Nf3 c5 3.c4 e6 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.g3 {Tartakower: First
introduced by Schlechter (against Dus-Chotimirsky, Prague
1908), systematized by Rubinstein, this positional maneuver
has all but refuted the Tarrasch Defense.} Be6 7.Bg2 Be7 8.O-O
Rc8 {Tartakower: Too dogmatic. Black devotes too much
attention to the queenside.} 9.dxc5 Bxc5 10.Ng5 {!} Nf6
11.Nxe6 fxe6 12.Bh3 Qe7 13.Bg5 {Mieses: A good move but not
the best. Beyond any doubt, with 13.e4! White achieves an
advantage; for example, 13...d4 14.Nd5 exd5 15.Bxc8 dxe4
16.Qb3! or 13...dxe4 14.Bg5 O-O 15.Nxe4, etc.} O-O
{Tartakower: Too late, and yet - as the storm now breaks - not
late enough. Better would be 13...Rd8.} 14.Bxf6 Qxf6 {Mieses:
A mistake. In his calculation Capablanca has overlooked the
opponent's 17th move. The right continuation was
14...gxf6. *** In "Chess Fundamentals" Jose Raul Capablanca
states that he overlooked 16.Kg2! and not White's 17th move
giving the following combination: 16.Bg2 (the move Capablanca
expected) 16...Ne5! 17.Nf4 (if 17.Rc1 Qxc1!! 18.Qxc1 Bxf2+ and

Black cannot avoid the exchange of the queens: 20...Qxb2 loses
a piece after 21.Rbf1, and if 20...Qb4, then 21.Rfd1 followed

40.h4 Kg4 41.Kf6 c4 42.bxc4 bxc4 43.Ke5 c3 44.bxc3 a4 45.Kd4

'square' of the passed pawn, from approaching it. -- Tarrasch}

the h-pawn and White's King thereby wins space and time. It is
as though, in the variation just given, White had not moved to
f6, but in one move, at once to f5. From there he can easily
hold up the a-pawn, since his journey does not lead him over
e5 and d4, but over e4 and d3, where his own pawn is not in
the way. Now Black must still make exertions to save the
game. -- Tarrasch} Kxh4 42.Kf5 Kg3 43.Ke4 Kf2 44.Kd5 Ke3

this continuation. It is not only the best, but it shows at

keep the initiative in this position, which was really the

8.d4 {To our way of thinking, this is the clear positional
refutation of 2...e6, which, by the way, was first played by
Capablanca (as Black) against Marshall and is based upon the
simple circumstance that Black cannot find a method for the
effective development of his Queen's Bishop.} c6 9.Nbd2 {In
the game referred to, Capablanca, in a wholly analogous
position, played ...Ne4 and likewise obtained an advantage
thereby. Of course, Reti's quieter development is also quite
good.} Ne4 {If the liberating move of 9...e5, recommended by
Rubinstein and others, is really the best here-then it
furnishes the most striking proof that Black's entire
arrangement of his game was faulty. For the simple
continuation 10.cxd5 cxd5 11.dxe5 Nxe5 12.Nxe5 Bxe5 13.Bxe5
Rxe5 14.Nc4 Re8 15.Ne3 Be6 16.Qd4, would have given White a
direct attack against the isolated Queen's pawn, without
permitting the opponent any chances whatsoever. Moreover, the
move selected by Bogoljubow leads eventually to a double
exchange of Knights, without moving the principal disadvantage
of his position.} 10.Nxe4 dxe4 11.Ne5 f5 {Obviously forced.}
12.f3 {The proper strategy. After Black has weakened his
position in the center, White forthwith must aim to change the
closed game into an open one in order to make as much as
possible out of that weakness.} exf3 13.Bxf3 {Not 13.exf3,
because the e pawn must be utilized as a battering ram.} Qc7
{Also after 13...Nxe5 14.dxe5 Bc5+ 15.Kg2 Bd7 (after the
exchange of Queens, this Bishop could not get out at all)
16.e4, White would have retained a decisive advantage in
position.} 14.Nxd7 Bxd7 15.e4 e5 {Otherwise would follow
16.e5, to be followed by a break by means of d5 or g4. After
the text move, however, Black appears to have surmounted the
greater part of his early difficulty and it calls for
exeptionally fine play on the part of White in order to make
the hidden advantages of his position count so rapidly and
convincingly.} 16.c5 Bf8 17.Qc2 {Attacking simultaneously both
of Black's center pawns.} exd4 {Black's sphere of action is
circumscribed; for instance, 17...fxe4 clearly would not do on
account of the two-fold threat against h7 and e5, after
18.Bxe4} 18.exf5 Rad8 {After 18...Re5 19.Qc4+ Kh8 20.f6, among
other lines, would be very strong.} 19.Bh5 {The initial move
in an exactly calculated, decisive manouver, the end of which
will worthily crown White's model play.} Re5 20.Bxd4 Rxf5 {If
20...Rd5 21.Qc4 Kh8 22.Bg4, with a pawn plus and a superior
position.} 21.Rxf5 Bxf5 22.Qxf5 Rxd4 23.Rf1 Rd8 {Or 23...Qe7
24.Bf7+ Kh8 25.Bd5 Qf6 26.Qc8, etc. Black is left without any
defence.} 24.Bf7+ Kh8 25.Be8 {A sparkling conclusion! Black
resigned, for, after 25...Bxc5+, he loses at least the
Bishop. Rightfully, this game was awarded the first brilliancy
prize.} 1-0

of supporting his passed pawn. -- Reti} 36. Kh4 Rf3 37. g6

{Capablanca's management of the endgame gives the impression
of being so natural that one easily forgets the difficulty of
such precise play. The difficulty is chiefly psychological. In
chess, as in life, one is so accustomed to place value on the
material factors that it is not easy to conceive the idea of
indulging in pawn sacrifices when there is so little available
material. --Reti} 1-0
