Capablanca-Tartakower, New York 1924

This game, from round 6 of the New York 1924 Tournament, was Capa's first win after 4 draws and a loss (against Reti in round 5). I had mentioned it in an earlier post where I recommended the tournament book. The highly challenging and instructive rook endgame from this game is featured in Pal Benko's "Endgame Lab" column in this month's Chess Life magazine. The column includes analysis by Alekhine, Goldin, Kasparov and Zaitsev, as well as insights from Benko himself. A great read, the best column in this month's magazine.
