6:55 - "I'll give you five seconds to have a look to see if you can see his move"

Rybka found it in 4.5 seconds. lol

Nice! I think Capablanca played this game somewhat below his powers and possibly underestimated his opponent. Capa was aged at this time and not well concentrated. This tournament (AVRO) obliged the players to constant trips, and this was the only Capa's tournament relative failure in all his career...These issues do not diminishes the great merit of his opponent, who played an outstanding far-sight strategy: the only way to beat Capablanca, a player as difficult to beat as Deep Blue...Thx!

Botvinnik ... when I think of all the great players he faced and beat ... ok ,ok ,i think i'm not able to ... too many of them lol

I saw it quickly as well (I'm an A player), but there is a big difference between seeing a move and calculating it all out to know it's good.

It only took me 5 seconds to come up with bishop a3 and I'm only rated around 1100

@Aylerkupp but for humans its easier to spot because humans can eliminated moves and now positions from memory...

[dragonheadofthewest]

so actually bent larsen copied his idea from botvinnik

Just for reference an update on mermaidinheaven’s comment and computer progress in 2 years. On Feb-2011 running on a 2.66GHz quad-core processor Rybka4 required 23 secs to find Botvinnik’s 30.Ba3 with an evaluation of [+3.35] and Stockfish 2.0.1 required 17 secs to find 30.Ba3 with an evaluation of [+5.37]. Both engines rejected Capablanca’s 30...Qxa3 in favor of 30...Qe8.

If Capablanca had lived to be 70, he would've been at the New York Chess Club during the years that young Bobby Fischer showed up.
