📕 15.Bxe6!
Excellent strategic judgment. White voluntarily fixes Black's structure in order to achieve the e3-e4 pawn break. The black king isn`t safe anywhere.
15.a4!? is also interesting 15...0-0-0 16.Rb2 with the idea of doubling rooks on the b-file. However, the Capablanca's plan is more clear.
15.h3? What for? This move only weakens the white king's position.

📕 12...dxc4! may seem obvious to the modern reader, but in 1909 one was considered eccentric for abandoning the pawn center. Capa intuitively understood the hypermodern concept: A large pawn center may also turn into a liability in the future if chipped away on the wings.
12...b6? 13.cxd5! exd5 14.e4! White's advantage is obvious.
12...Nf6 13.cxd5 exd5 14.c4+/= White has somewhat a lead in development so opens the game.
