But Capablanca has confidence in the passed pawn which he obtains. Reti 32...Ne3+ 33.Kf3 Nf5 34.Bxf5 Simple and compelling. Alekhine 34...gxf5 35.Kg3 decisive! White sacrifices material in order to obtain the classical position with King on f6, pawn on g6, and Rook on h7, whereupon the black pawns tumble like ripe apples. Alekhine 35...Rxc3+ It is extremely instructive to see how Capablanca is no longer in the least concerned about material equality, but thinks only of supporting his passed pawn. Reti 36.Kh4 Rf3 37.g6 Rxf4+ 38.Kg5 Re4 39.Kf6 It is a frequently available finesse in such positions not to capture hostile pawns, but to pass them by in order to be protected in the rear against checks by the rook. Reti 39...Kg8 40.Rg7+ Kh8 41.Rxc7 Re8 42.Kxf5 again the simplest. Kf7 would not yet have been disastrous because of Rd8, etc. Alekhine 42...Re4 43.Kf6 Rf4+ 44.Ke5 Rg4 45.g7+ Kg8 after exchanging rooks, White would win still more easily.
