I was reading some Of Capablanca's Biographi, I read that there was a game in wich Capa won against Ale, using a combination that no other GM in the tournament was able to tell what the mistake in Ale play was, exept for Lasker, who was able to see Ale's mistake, and Capa recognized this insight of Lasker even in his 60s.
I have been seaching in Capas games wich one could be and wich move was, but of course I will not notice it because I am not even close to Lasker or other GM.
If someone Knows wich game was it I woud apreciate it.
Thanks
Easily enough information, it was at Nottingham in 1936

Thanks a lot.
But after watching the game I cant find any definitive win.
38, Bh5+ Kf6 39.Bc3+ Ke6 and plenty of scape to the queen side.
38. Bc3 Kf7 39. Bh5+ Ke6 and the same.
38.Bc3 Kf7 39. N*g5.... this would be the continuation. but of course ale was not to do this.
I really don't understand this game.
I am really hungry now maibe I missed something, I will eat and check it later.
In the Verhoeven definite Alekhine book this game is mentioned as
11th August,notes by Alekhine.
on move 23.Nf3 he gives this as a ? and says "an obvious mistake after which white gets into great difficulties.In spite of previous inexact play the game after 23.Qb3 would be about even"
after his own 24....f4 he says "a miscalculation of a somewhat peculiar kind.I thought to win both exchanges and instead lost 3 minor pieces for two rooks.The simple continuation 24...Ba4 25.Qd2 Ne4 26.Qe1 g5! would have left black with a quite obvious perhaps decisive positional advantage"
Is it this one?

Originally posted by TurfmoorI think this game is really brilliant, thanks for posting it, but it is a little easyer to understand that white is wining by much here.
