@lexbbang It is okay - it is a major concern not to just cover games, but cover games of importance to the potential impact on the evolution of Chess style. As such the Capa vs Alekhine encounters need to be checked very carefully too.
@lexbbang You do realise Lasker was a previous chess world champion?!. And given that a lot of chess style is impacted by World champions, it is interesting to see not just encounters between World champions but also with those representing the Hypermoderns and other style pioneers.
Capablanca played 11…Qb4+ several times against Alekhine in their championship match. That variation was a factor in his defeat. Salo Flohr demonstrated that Black is OK after 17…g6 against Max Euwe at Nottingham in 1936.
@Kingscrusher, if at time 14:29 that rook on d3 was instead played to d4 for white, it's possible black might foolishly take it with its queen, then be forked with white's knight with knightf5?

This vid is particularly helpful for my game. Thanks KC :)

Very informative.
Quite proud I spotted Qxg6, even if I would never have done so without prompting
