(or 22 Ke2 !) is strong, and indeed a rather clearer win than the move chosen, but both lines are good if followed up accurately. To Schroeder's chagrin, Capablanca sidestepped the trap, although in a different way:21.Qh8+!?Ke722.Qxg7hxg523.Qxg5+Kd624.Ke2!?Rac825.Rc4Kc626.Rhc1Kb6Let us consider this position from the standpoint of the principle of two weaknesses. We are struck by the ridiculous bunch of black pieces on the queenside, tied to the defence of the bishop on c5. This entanglement may be viewed as the first weakness. The game is decided by executing a second threat - on the kingside.27.h4!f528.Qg7!Re729.Qe5Rc630.Rxc51-0 Black resigns.1-0
