José Raúl Capablanca's Deflection (Greatest Chess Games)

[Purcell77]

Why, after the exchange, Qb2? Why not 1...Qb1+ 2.Qf1 Rd1 3. QxRd1 QxQd1 ++?

[GeniusProphecy]

@Purcell77 I have to check this, but I suspect it's because 1...Qb1+ 2.Qf1 Rd1 3.Rc8+ and Black will fall victim to back rank mate.

@Purcell77 Who do you think you are Purcell77? Questioning the greatest master of all time?? Moron. I'll bet you like Star Wars too.

@Purcell77 Who do you think you are? Questioning the greatest master of all time?? Moron. I bet you're a Star Wars fan. And you probably like Empire Strikes Back the best. Despicable .

[hthought]

@Purcell77 That would be such a terrible blunder.

**its****

[rockyqw12]

daz some fork we haf there.

[MagoMinelli]

yeah you are right mr.

[MagoMinelli]

I have a move for you my friend.

After (black) Queen B2, (white Rook C8)

Think about it.

[GeniusProphecy]

Hmm... I haven't checked this on computer, but how about 1...Qa1+ 2.Qf1 Qxf1+ 3.Kxf1 Rxc8 with an extra rook.

[mrcapablanca]

That dosen't work because after1 ...Qb2! 2.Rc8  Qb1+! 3.Qf1 QxQ+! 4.KxQ Rxc8! and black has a won game. How dare you question Capablanca's calculations!

[GeniusProphecy]

lol "How dare you question Capablanca's calculations!"

[conejinca]

@MagoMinelli after the move you posted it all comes to the same:

after WHITE ROOK MOVES TO C8 BLACK MOVE TO QUEEN B1 AND WHITE LOOSES.....

[MagoMinelli]

@conejinca True, :p

[IHATENEDAH]

what is more painful i had a similar idea and fritz said it was wrong... maybe i imagine my position wrongly but i think it was to 80 percent likely the same

[FOWStudios]

Ouch thats painful. First comment.
