It’s a famous game. (Capablanca v. Marshall, 1918) It’s whites move in this position, and white wins, but I’m not sure of what meaning there is supposed to be behind it.
If I am ever on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, I’m going to call you as my lifeline.
Hmmm, thanks for the tip. I’ll have to dig out my chess game and play it out. Who’s move is it? I was thinking Black moves castle to bin the bishop. If it Whites move I don’t see a good move at all for White.
Did you use Chessbase? Wow!
White King appears exposed and at risk. White pieces appear inneffective and are underdeveloped.
White breaks out on left flank with pawn moves and releases the Queen Rook to support the advanced pawn which gets to 7th rank.
Black resigns when White sacrifices Bishop to take pawn with check.
Exposed King is of no consequence.
Yeah been 40 years since I have played but seems like if it’s whites move, He moves the knight out of the way and its checkmate...
Sorry working too many hours today... Duh, kept looking and could not figure how that was missed, by all the commenters LOL misread that, had queen and king switched. Like I said, long time since I played.
It was an aggressive attack by black, and his since become famous and given a name. However, in this game, white won. I take it as analogous to the bad guys (black) have attacked Trump (white) for the last year, but the tide is about to turn against them. White hats will win.
Note also that Capablanca translates to white hats, while Marshall (the black player) had a first name of Franklin. Compare to Franklin Marshall Davis, Obama’s mentor.
The meaning is the White King is finally safe after a dangerous, relentless attack. White wins in a couple of moves after this position.
Impressive. This is why I love FR.
