Capablanca destroys the queenside in the Queen’s Gambit Declined

Featured is a game played in London 1922 by the great José Raúl Capablanca against Eugene Aleksandrovich Znosko-Borovsky. Observe how, at a very early stage, Capablanca provides black with opportunities to create weaknesses within his own camp. Capablanca's patient deployment of his light-squared bishop and lasting tension on d5 lead to the creation of the first of many exploitable holes. Although the game lasts 38 moves, Capablanca manages to obtain a strategically winning position in 20 moves, and promptly takes full advantage of black's irreparable weaknesses on the queenside.

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. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
