Oddly enough, it takes exactly how many it takes.
Some games have been won by only pushing Pawns, if you can believe that. While others... well. I thought he devised his plan after Black's stingy retreating of the Queen Knight (avoiding the Pawn bunch Queesnside) which became the same weakness, as the second Knight covered the Queen protection.
Well, you know...
blah blah blah from me is not near as good as the game.
Copycats pay a price if they leap to the offense without adequately developing.
I found this gem at
jrobichess.com
along with a sizable library, on the left of the puzzle.
@LuxusOhr It's always a treat to see conviction like this.
There are other examples, but this seemed a real gem.
From jrobichess-dot-com, his side bar has many old master's games.
And some Annand, also.
And Kasparov..
Funny, though...he still doesn't have any of mine...

Great upload! It isnt a typical Capa game, more in style of old masters like Morphy. He usually prefered to outplay his opps in strategical ways, but of course he also knew how to punch hard. No doubt, he calculated everything from move 17 till the end. Its important to see that everything started with the weak pawn e6 :-)
