\begin{nochess}{\rm Capablanca's play in the game that follows provides us with a magic formula for conducting rook and pawn endgames: seize the seventh rank with your rook, and advance your king to the sixth!
Capablanca gives up a couple of valuable pawns to get his king and rook onto the key squares. Once there, they keep the adverse king busy warding off threats of mate, and leave him no time to defend his pawns. Four of these pawns fall victim in half-a-dozen moves, after which resistance is hopless.
Capa's clear-cut, methodical play is so easy to understand that the whole ending is a marvellous piece of instruction, and a thing of beauty as well.}\end{nochess} 

   1.&d4 &f5 \\

   7.&Bd3 &Bb7 \\
   8.&O-O &Qe8 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Black evidently intends to attack on the king-side by 9...Qh5 and 10...Ng4 - customary strategy in the Dutch Defence.}\end{nochess}
\\
   9.&Qe2! 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm This move makes Tartakower change his mind, since 9...Qh5 is met by 10.e4, and White's centre is imposing.}\end{nochess}
   9.&...&Ne4 \\
  10.&Bxe7 &Nxc3 \\
  11.&bxc3 &Qxe7 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm The exchanges have left White with a doubled c-pawn. In compensation for this weakness, the b-file has been opened and is available to his rooks.}\end{nochess}
\\
  12.&a4! 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm A clever preventive move! It stops an unwelcome instrusion by 12...Qa3, and also prepares to meet 12...Nc6 with 13.Rfb1, and if then 13...Na5 14.c5 undoubles the pawns by force, since the continuation 14...bxc5 15.Rb5 is to White's advantage.}\end{nochess}
  12.&...&Bxf3 \\
  13.&Qxf3 &Nc6 \\
  14.&Rfb1 &Rae8 \\
  15.&Qh3 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Another preventive move. Black cannot free himself by 15...e5 as 16.Bxf5 would follow. The queen's move also makes it possible for White to play 16.f4, giving him a grip on the square e5.}\end{nochess}
  15.&...&Rf6 \\
  16.&f4! &Na5 \\
  17.&Qf3 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm The queen returns to f3, to dominate the long diagonal.}\end{nochess}
  17.&...&d6 \\
  18.&Re1 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Having done its work on the b-file, the rook moves to the centre, to support a break by 19.e4.}\end{nochess}

  19.&...&fxe4 \\
  20.&Qxe4 &g6 \\

  22.&Kg2 &Rf7 \\

  28.&hxg6 &hxg6 \\
  29.&Rh1 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Good players always seem to hold the high cards. Capablanca's rook controls an open file and will seize the seventh rank next move. Should Tartakower's rook become ambitious and try to counter-attack by 29...Rc6, the reply 30.Bb5 would come like a flash and pin the unfortunate piece.}\end{nochess}
  29.&...&Kf8 \\
  30.&Rh7 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Rook to the seventh rank - the magic move in rook and pawn endings. What is the secret in the strength of this move? It is this:
    (a) The rook is in the perfect position to attack any pawns that have not yet moved - thise still standing on the second rank.
    (b) The rook is prepared to attack any pawns that have moved, by getting behind them without loss of time. The pawns would be under constant threat of capture, no matter how many squares they advanced on the file.
    (c) The rook's domination of the seventh rank confines the opposing king to the last rank, preventing any part in the fighting.}\end{nochess}
  30.&...&Rc6 \\
  31.&g4 &Nc4 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm The knight hastens to get into active play. Black naturally avoids 31...Rxc3, as the reply 32.Bxg6 allows his opponent to have two connected passed pawns.}\end{nochess}
\\

    \begin{nochess}{\rm Now comes a brilliant continuation that Capablanca must have planned many moves before. In a simplified ending where pawns are worth their weight in gold, he gives away two pawns! Moreover he lets Black capture them with check!}\end{nochess}

  35.&Kg3! 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm The king is headed for f6, a square from which he can assist the rook in mating threats, and also help the passed pawn take those last three steps. }\end{nochess}

  36.&Kh4 &Rf3 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Instead of this, if Black tries to exchange rooks, thsi follows: 36...Rc8 37.Kh5 Rh8+ 38.Kg6 Rxh7 39.Kxh7 c5 40.g6 and the pawn crashes through.}\end{nochess}

    \begin{nochess}{\rm Capturing the d-pawn would be fatal: 38...Rxd4 39.Kf6 Kg8 (on 39...Ke8 40.Rh8+ Kd7 41.g7, and Black must give up his rook for the pawn) 40.Rd7, and White mates next move. }\end{nochess}
\\
  39.&Kf6! 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Excellent! The king is beautifully placed to support the passed pawn, and incidentally to frighten Black with threats of mate.
    Notice that White disdained from capturing Black's pawn. Now it acts as a buffer against annoying checks by the rook.}\end{nochess}

    \begin{nochess}{\rm White goes after the queen-side pawns. Contrasting the activity of the two kings, White is practically a piece ahead!}\end{nochess}
  44.&...&Rg4 \\
  45.&g7+ &Kg8 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm Black doesn't dare take the pawn. If 45...Rxg7 46.Rxg7 Kxg7 47.Kxd5 Kf7 48.Kd6 Ke8 49.Kc7 Ke7 50.d5, and the pawn cannot be stopped.}\end{nochess}

  52.&d6 
    \begin{nochess}{\rm The continuation (for anyone still skeptical) would be 52...Rd4 53.d7 Rc4+ (if 53...Kxg7 54.d8=Q+ wins) 54.Kb7 Rd4 55.Kc8, and the pawn becomes a queen next move.
    "No one has ever played these endgames with such elegant ease as Capablanca," says Réti.}\end{nochess}
