Capablanca's Games 'To be studied very carefully'

Capablanca did not leave a large body of annotated games. When he did annotate a game, he often left more out than he put in. His book 'My Chess Career' is full of comments like 'each move should now be studied with care' with little or no further analysis. This is particularly true of his endgame analysis.

While flipping through the book I noted ten games where the Cuban leaves it to the reader to analyze the play...

...Most of these concern endgames, but several refer to middlegame combinations. In future posts I'm going to tackle the list with the help of computer analysis. Since Capablanca's games and ideas were extremely profound, it may take more than one post to cover a single game.
