1.e4 Notes by J. R. Capablanca 1. ... e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.O-O Nxe4 6.d4 b5 7.Bb3 d5 8.a4 Rb8 Lasker insists on a move that he admits gives him no advantage, and Schlechter makes this inferior move instead of 8...Nxd4 9.Nxd4 exd4 10.axb5 Bc5 11.c3 O-O.
9.axb5 axb5 10.dxe5 Be6 11.c3 Bc5 Better, I believe, than 11...Be7, as he played in the fourth game. 12.Nbd2 O-O 13.Bc2 Nxd2 14.Qxd2 Qd7 15.b4 Be7 16.Re1 f6 17.Qd3 g6 18.Bh6 Rfe8 19.exf6 19.Ra6 should be considered. If 19...fxe5, then I believe 20.Rxc6 would win, as after 20...Qxc6 21.Nxe5, threatening 22.Nxg6, to which Black seems to have no defence. Also, if 19...Bf5 20.e6! 19. ... Bxf6 20.Bb3 Bf7 21.Rad1 Ne5 22.Nxe5 Bxe5 23.h3 Qd6 There seems to be no reason for giving up a pawn here. 23...c6 seems safe enough. 24.Bxd5 Bxd5 25.Qxd5+ Qxd5 26.Rxd5 Bxc3 27.Rxe8+ Rxe8 28.Rxb5 Re4 29.Rb8+ Kf7 30.b5 Re1+ 31.Kh2 Be5+ 32.f4 This move is weak; it blocks the diagonal of the white bishop. 32.g3 was the right move. If then 32...Re2 33.Kg2 Bd4 34.Rf8+ Ke7 35.Rf4 Rb6 36.Bg5+, with winning chances. After the text move, Black forces a draw very cleverly. 32. ...
