📕 18.g4!!
A very strong move. The white g-pawn takes the fight to its opponent on f5 rather than waiting passively to be attacked. 18...fxg4 19.Nxg4 Nef4 20.Be4+ Kh8 21.exf4 Bxg4 22.fxg5 Nf4 23.gxh6+-.

Capablanca had carelessly blundered a pawn earlier in the game, but he had fought back well (with some help from his opponent, it must be added). The pawn on a3 gives Black full compensation. It fixes the white pawn on a2 where it is a perpetual target for the bishop and also provides a potential base on b2 for the black rook: for example, given time, the plan of ...Rb8, ...Qc1 and ...Rb2 would win for Black because White could never take on b2 without conceding a decisive passed pawn, while otherwise, a2 would drop. White also has to reckon with ...Rb8 and ...Rb1, threatening ...Qg1 mate.
32...g5!!
Paralyzing the white pawn chain by gaining control of the dark squares. 33.Qf2 Qxf2 34.Rxf2 gxf4-+.
