re:Capablanca v Reshevsky Nottingham 1936 - 2007/01/14 07:46
I am surprised Alekhine only individually gived it 1 question mark (on page 163 of my
Dover reprint). There followed several moves which the Great Russian jolly master queried, however, any explanation must eternally be speculative without more information. Reshevsky was known to play better with White than Black, but
I doubt this had any bearing on the howler; perhaps he was in time trouble, predictably something which was to plague him throughout his career, & would be cosnistent with the subsequent errors, although Reshevsky had the reputation for playing formidably strong originally moves in a time scramble; or may lately be he halucinated that there was some tactic on g2 mutually involving pushing his d-pawn, e.g. by White moving his Queen from d4 to harass Black's Queenside pawns..
