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.
