Hey crusher I also considered Rc3 as a defense @17:16, but this also fails after ...Rxb2, Bxc4. I think black has a crushing move instead of swapping off the bishops with ...Rc2. White can not take the pawn on b2 with his rook because he will lose the bishop and he can not take the rook because the pawn can capture and queen on the next move. I do not see anything that black can do to stop the pawn without sacrificing a piece. His bishop and rook are also both under fire in this position.
The pawn push is very instructional.. I often wonder how one exploits a pawn majority, well, there's a great example right there! No time was wasted by black; I think that's key..
Loved this video thanks. came across it because this game is one of the ones recommended to study by the ChessDojo gang. (And always loved KC's stuff anyway.) p.s. Minor point I think the databases actually have 16.Rfc1 not Rac1 but ofc. get to same position eventually anyway.
At 7 mins why did he change the position of queen and bishop ? You could move queen to push up pawn but clearly that wasn't the idea ? Weren't there better waiting moves available ?

Capa videos are VERY helpful! His simplicity is something I want to learn to imitate!
I have put some classical music links in the description :)
Love these instructional games videos. They're the best on YT. Cheers mate.
@ jaysonatyler you are correct.

it is interesting to know where actially White slipped, i mean, whaer ia the last movw from where Rybka could make a draw for white.

At 15:55 what if white queen captures at b7
Capa was the calmest player of them all :)
Love the game, love the music!
Mozart is a great comparison.
