Featured is an instructive chess game between Jose Raul Capablanca and Rudolf Spielmann from New York, 1927. Out of the Queen’s Gambit Declined, Barmen variation, Capablanca obtains the bishop pair after 8 moves. Spielmann’s decision to advance with c4 to obtain a queenside majority after Capablanca’s bishop has already reached d3 is questionable. Capablanca’s play is mainly positional throughout this 26-move encounter, with a dash of astute calculation after Spielmann blunders with 17…Qd5.

I’m a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
