José Raúl Capablanca, in play v. Edgar Colle in the 1st round at Hastings, 29th December 1930. White won in 39 moves.

The amazing footage of Capablanca commenting on the Alekhine-Euwe match.

Capablanca- Alekhines play is 20% bluff, Euwes play is clear and straight forward.
Do you agree with Capablanca here?
