{For most amateurs, and even for many good players, the endgame spells the end
of any excitement. But the seeming simplicity very often covers up deep
mysteries and enormous complexity. The greatest players at all times benefited
from their superiority in the final stage of the game. In the case of
Capablanca his superb endgame technique won him legendary fame and the title
of "chess machine". The following well-known game was played in the Moscow
tournament of 1936. The best years were already behind the 48-year-old
ex-world champion, and in complicated positions Capablanca was no longer as
sharp as in his youth. But if there were any winning chances in an endgame he
exploited them with the precision of a latter-day computer. Für die meisten
Amateure, und auch für viele gute Spieler, bedeutet das Endspiel gleichzeitig
das Ende des aufregenden Teils einer Partie. Aber die scheinbare Vereinfachung
der Stellung verdeckt oft die tiefen Geheimnisse und ungeheuren Verwicklungen,
die in einem Endspiel liegen können. Die größten Spieler profitierten schon
immer von ihrer Überlegenheit in dieser Partiephase. Capablanca war für seine
hervorragende Endspieltechnik berühmt – man nannte ihn deswegen auch die
Schachmaschine. Die folgende recht bekannte Partie wurde beim Moskauer Turnier
1936 gespielt. Der 48jährige Ex-Weltmeister hatte bereits seine größte Zeit
hinter sich. In komplizierten Stellungen war er nicht mehr so gefährlich wie
in seiner Jugend. Aber wenn es im Endspiel irgendwelche Gewinnchancen gab,
wußte er sie immer noch mit der unerbittlichen Präzision einer Maschine zu
nutzen.} 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Bc5 3. Nf3 d6 4. Na4 Bb6 5. Nxb6 axb6 6. d4 exd4 7.

[#] The Soviet master playing the white side was dreaming of a draw against
his famous opponent. To this end he rapidly exchanged as many pieces as
possible. But as often happens, this primitive strategy can produce results
that are different from the original plan. The position may look simple - dead
draw is your verdict, isn't it? But don't rush to judgement. Black has certain
tiny advantages that can be developed further. His rooks are more active on
two semi-open files, and his pawn structure is more compact and dynamic. But
of course with cautious play White should be able to defend his position.
Theory is theory, but in practice world championship class has already played
its decisive role. Der sowjetische Meister, der mit Weiß spielte, träumte von
einem Remis gegen seinen berühmten Gegner. Um das zu erreichen, tauschte er
schnell so viele Figuren wie möglich. Aber, wie so oft, kann ein derart
primitives Vorgehen zu anderen Ergebnissen führen als ursprünglich geplant.
Die abgebildete Stellung sieht einfach aus – tot remis, würden Sie nicht
sagen? Aber seien Sie vorsichtig. Schwarz besitzt einige winzige Vorteile, die
er weiterentwickeln kann. Seine Türme stehen auf den beiden halboffenen Linien
aktiver, und seine Bauernstruktur ist kompakter und dynamischer. Aber
natürlich sollte Weiß durch umsichtiges Spiel die Stellung verteidigen können.
Jedenfalls in der Theorie. In der Praxis spielt die weltmeisterliche Klasse
von Capablanca die entscheidende Rolle.} Bc8 $1 {First he wants to deal with

Abtausch verbessert die schwarze Stellung, festigt seine Bauernstruktur im

Nc6 3. f4 exf4 4. d4 $6 Qh4+ 5. Ke2 {A blasphemy for a normal player of the
time. Since the quick development of the white pieces is interrupted by the
king in the centre, Black should be automatically better. But Steinitz noted
that long-term factors could override temporary inconvenience. The white minor
pieces will gain extra tempi attacking Black's queen. White's better control
of the centre will help him to organize future attacks and also to prevent
Black's pieces from harmonious development. As it later turned out Steinitz'
Gambit was proven to be not very dangerous for Black, but only as a result of
precise and very dynamic play. Not surprisingly Steinitz' opponents, who
weren't ready to take this ugly opening seriously, couldn't resist testing his
revolutionary strategy.} d6 {Some players tried the sharper 5...d5 against
