📕 17...Qe6!
Not only breaking the pin on f7 and so clearing the way for ... f7-f5, but also challenging the white queen. Naturally, Capablanca has no wish to play 18...Qxd5? when 19 cxd5 strengthens the white pawns and opens the way for an attack on c7 by Rac1 etc. No, Capablanca is preparing to exchange queens on his own terms.
