All His Life Lilienthal Was Grateful To Capablanca For This Move!

This is Lilienthal’s most famous queen sacrifice which he made against the 3rd World Chess Champion Jose Raul Capablanca! In his book “Liliental’s 100 best games” Lilienthal writes: “To tell the truth, I am very grateful to Capablanca for this move! Since the time we played this game many years had passed, yet wherever I went on a demonstration tour, both in the Soviet union and elsewhere, chess players and fans always asked me to show them how I sacrificed the queen against the great Cuban.”
