Capablanca's Slav Defense jolts Janowski

Video Description

Featured is an instructive chess game between David Janowski and José Raúl Capablanca from the Rice Memorial, held in New York 1916. Out of a Slav Defense we observe an early queen exchange where Capablanca is left with double-isolated b-pawns. Notice the deep point behind Capablanca's counter-intuitive decisive to withdraw his bishop to d7. Capablanca's light-squared bishop ends up inside of the structure, but it helps the b-pawns to advance and eventually undouble. It is not long after Capablanca's light-squared bishop assumes a dream post outside of the pawn chain that Janowski's position crumbles. #Capablanca #SlavDefense I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
