10...Nf8
A typical maneuver with the attacking idea ...Bf5, ...h7-h5, ...N8h7-g5 and so on.
However, 10...c6! was more natural – after reinforcing his e4-pawn by ...d6-d5, Black would have retained a solid and comfortable position.
11.Nc3 Bf5.

11.Nc3 Bf5.
13.Nd2!
A novelty from a 1977 game that was unknown to us. The grandmaster made the knight move with unconcealed pleasure – he 'had analyzed it a great deal and come to the conclusion that White should gain an advantage' (Alburt).
13...Red8
Only this rook! The e8-square must be free for the retreat of the knight.
14.Nb3?!
But a year later Uhlmann improved White's play by 14.Bf4! with the idea of 14...Nd4 (It is possible that 14...Qb6 is better, but this is a largely theoretical question since the variation with 12...Qa5 has almost gone out of use) 15.Nd5!, as in his games with Ghitescu, Peev (Bucharest 1979) and Sznapik (Berlin 1979).
**14...Qb6 15.Na4*8.

🔹 Jose Raul Capablanca
🔹Cuban chess master
🔹Third World Champion
♦️ José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera was a Cuban chess player who was world chess champion from 1921 to 1927
🔘 Full name: José Raúl Capablanca y Graupera
🔘 Country: Cuba
🔘 Born: 19 November 1888
Havana, Cuba
🔘 Died: 8 March 1942 (aged 53)
New York City, New York, U.S.
🔘 World Champion: 1921–1927
♦️Capablanca’s win at San Sebastian in 1911 provided the results and the impetus for Capablanca to negotiate with Lasker for a title match, but some of Lasker’s conditions were unacceptable to Capablanca, especially one requiring the challenger to win by two points to take the title, while the advent of World War I delayed the match.
In 1920, Lasker and Capablanca agreed to play the title match in 1921, but a few months later, former was ready to surrender the title without a contest, saying,
"You have earned the title not by the formality of a challenge, but by your brilliant mastery."
A significant stake ($25,000, $13,000 guaranteed to Lasker) was raised that induced Lasker to play in Havana where Capablanca won the Lasker - Capablanca World Championship Match (1921) - without losing a game - after Lasker resigned from the match when trailing by 4 games, the first time a World Champion had lost his title without winning a game until the victory by Vladimir Kramnik in the Kasparov - Kramnik World Championship Match (2000).
From 1921 to 1923, Alekhine, Rubinstein and Nimzowitsch all challenged Capablanca, but only Alekhine could raise the money stipulated in the so-called “London Rules”, which these players had signed in 1921.
A group of Argentinean businessmen, backed by a guarantee from the president of Argentina, promised the funds for a World Championship match between Capablanca and Alekhine, and once the deadline for Nimzowitsch to lodge a deposit for a title match had passed, the title match was agreed to, beginning in September 1927. Capablanca lost the Capablanca - Alekhine World Championship Match (1927) at Buenos Aires in 1927 by +3 -6 =25 in the longest title match ever, until it was surpassed by the legendary Karpov - Kasparov World Championship Match (1984).
♦️ A memorable game by Capablanca against Nimzowitsch which content the informative opposite-colored bishops endgame👇🏼
