1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 d6 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. d4 Be7 {
By transposition of moves the game has become a Ruy Lopez, Steinitz Defence.}

exd4 9. Qxd4 Bxb5 10. Nxb5 a6 {Until this move the game is identical with
Capablanca-Fonaroff. Fonaroff, following Lasker's play against Tarrasch,
played 10...0-0, and Capablanca replied 11.Qc3; freeing the square d4 for the
knight. (Tarrasch played 11.Bg5).} 11. Nc3 O-O 12. Bg5 Nd7 13. Bxe7 Qxe7 14.
Nd5 {White's knight is strongly posted on this square, and Black cannot well
dislodge it afterwards by c6 as his d-pawn would then be left weak.} Qd8 15.

Rf7 19. f5 {Probably with the view of playing his knight via f4 to e6.} Qf8 {
Black appears to lose time hereabouts, but he had a difficult game. Ne5 at
once would perhaps have been better than the text move; this seems a mistake;
it makes White's next move far stronger. But Black is very cramped, and in
considerable difficulties. However, ...Rb8 looks right.} 20. Qb3 {
Now White threatens Nxf6.} Kh8 {
The queen on d8 would have supported the f-pawn.} 21. Nf4 (21. Qxb7 Nd4 {
with the double threat of 22...Ne2+ or 22...c6.}) 21... Ne5 22. Qxb7 Rb8 23.

then 26...Rc1 is a resource, see next note.} 26. Ng6+ (26. Rb8 Rc1+ 27. Rxc1 (
27. Kf2 Rxb1 {and it would hardly have been safe for White to play} 28. Rxf8+
Rxf8 {leaving his opponent with two rooks against the queen.}) 27... Qxb8)
26... Nxg6 27. fxg6 Re7 28. Rb8 Re8 {Capablanca, who almost invariably plays
with deadly accuracy, now commits a remarkable oversight. He could now have
won a clear rook by 29.Rxe8 Qxe8, 30.Qa4 Rc1, 31.Kf2, whereas the text move
should only have drawn.} 29. Qa8 {Sir George Thomas resigned the game thinking
it was lost. However, as pointed out by Blackburne, Atkins, Burn and Griffith,
he could have drawn with 29...Rxa2! as follows:} (29. Qa8 Rxa2 {
would have drawn!} 30. Qb7 (30. Rxe8 Rxa8) (30. Qxa2 Rxb8) 30... Ra4 31. Qxc7
Raxe4 {and Black would have a pawn to the good. Because of his cramped
position, however, he could not have done more than draw.}) 1-0

which the correct reply is 5.d4, reserving the exchange of bishop for knight
until having forced the opposition to abandon the centre.} 5. Bxc6+ bxc6 6. d4
f6 {Black can now keep the centre in this way, for the weakening of the
diagonal (a2-g8) after the disappearance of White's king's bishop, is no
longer dangerous.} 7. Nc3 g6 8. Be3 Bg7 9. Qd2 Ne7 10. Bh6 O-O {Black has now
a very compact arrangement of pawns. His king's position is, so to say,
invulnerable and the open b-file provides possibility of counter attack. In
short Black already has the better game.} 11. O-O-O {Bogoljubow is going all
out, but if he castled kingside he would be giving up the scanty chance of a
Kingside attack, while the defects in position would remain the same.} Be6 12.

Black will easily be able to force the exchange of queens, leading to an
end-game rather in his favour.}) 16... Rab8 17. Qc3 Rb7 18. Ne1 Qb5 {This move 
reveals a profound judgment of position. Black observes that White has in view
the consolidation of his position by 19.Nd3, after which he could resume his
aggressive plans beginning with 20.f4, etc. Hence the necessity of forcing the
exchange of queens, the object attained by the text-move.} 19. Nd3 Qc4 20. f4 {

succeeded in immobilising the adverse rook by means of the passed pawn. White
cannot now afford to win the a-pawn by exchanging rooks, as he would not then
have time to sacrifice his knight for the g-pawn. The end is extremely
difficult and is full of finesse.} 55. Kd4 Ra5 {

king after 61.Nd5+ to play to f5 without being subject to a further check from
the knight at e7, after which a win would have been relatively easy.} 61. Nd5+

which the normal result should be a draw.} 62. Kxd5 Ra6 {Black always seems to

Réti in London in 1922, the continuing moves were 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.Nf3 0-0, 5.e4,

clearly at fault and puts Black into a very difficult position. The natural
move was  9...Nd4, forcing the exchange of minor pieces with a satisfactory
game. White takes advantage of this mistake in masterly fashion.} 10. f3 {

bishop when on e3 must not be subject to the threat of exchange by Ng4.} Nbd7

correctly. The game affords a typical example of a queenside attack in a
blocked position.} b6 13. Na4 a5 {The opening of the a-file, as it will be

played in a masterly fashion to this point, by the evident 36.Qb7 followed by
