game was adjourned but Black resigned a few days later without playing any
further.   White can win by force in several ways. The most scientific is
probably as follows: first to place his bishop at c3 (Black can do nothing but
mark time with his rooks)— then to advance the h-pawn to h5. Meanwhile Black
can either put his king at h6 or play first h6 and then put his king at h7. In
either case White will keep his other bishop at h3 thus forcing both the black
rooks to defend the f5-pawn. In the first case, that is if the black king goes
to h6, Black will be stale­mated (“Zugzwang”) in this position and will
have to give up his f-pawn. In the second case, if Black puts his king at h7
with his pawn at h6, which is his best line, then White will bring his king to
f3 (Black, by that time, can only play his king from h7 to g8 and back again,
and when the Black king is at g8, he will play Nf1 folowed by Ne3 and d5
threatening the b6-pawn. Black will then have to play R to b1 or b2 and White
will then play Nf6+ winning a rook for a knight speedily. After that White
will bring his [light-squared] bishop to d5 and put the other at f6 and again
Black will be able only to mark time and will finally have to lose a pawn
which will mean the end of all possible resistance. (end of Capablanca
annotation, exclusively for CHESS, September 1936)  Sources: The Times, 20 Aug
1936; Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer, 21 Aug 1936; CHESS, September
1936, Vol.2/13, p15; BCM, Oct 1936, p505. "Capablanca v. Alekhine is further
com­plicated by a dispute as to which player should seal his move; the matter
has been referred to the committee. ... [headline]An Unfortunate Dispute. 
[sub-heading]Later. The dispute has unfortunately held up the important game
between Capablanca and Alekhine. As a full committee of the British Chess
Federation is not avail­able at the moment, it has been decided to postpone
the game until early next week. The point at issue is whether Alekhine was
entitled to make a move on the board after the time for sealing moves had been
reached. It is regret­table that so apparently trivial a matter should thus
interrupt the tournament." (Manchester Guardian, 12 Aug 1936)   Essentially,
Alekhine made his last move (37...Kg6) on the board after the time for sealing
a move and was told by the officials that it would have to stand as his (open)
sealed move. Alekhine disputed this, saying that he had not been informed that
he should seal his next move. Alekhine appealed and the game was delayed for a
week. At some point Capablanca volunteered to seal his next move (38.a4) but
Alekhine resigned before resumption. Here's the Glasgow Herald (15 Aug 1936,
p9) version of events: "On Tuesday there was some little excitement over a
dispute between Capablanca and Alekhine regarding a sealed move. It was a good
many minutes past the time for adjournment in their game when Alekhine made a
move on the board when he was expected to make a sealed move instead.
Capablanca, in view of the hour, then refused to make a sealed move, and there
was no little argument between them on the question. The continuation of the
game was delayed until next week for an official ruling, on the question."} 1-0

is advantageous for White according to computers, and was also found by
contemporary newspaper readers. The Observer, 6 Sept 1936, mentioned that
"several readers point out that 37.Qc4 should turn the tables for Winter
against Capablanca." Later this appeared in The Observer on 20 Sept 1936:
"Capablanca, however, in reply to a reader of the Glasgow Herald, while
stating that [37.Qc4] is White's best move, goes on to say that the endgame
would then be won by Black." The Observer columnist, Brian Harley, then goes
on to set the analysis of the position as a prize challenge to readers. On 27
Sept, the columnist remarks that "the general opinion of our readers is that
Winter should have won against Capablanca at Nottingham by 37.Qc4." He then
quotes from the prizewinning analysis of the Anglo-Mexican chess expert Adrian
Garcia Conde (1886-1943):} Qxc4 38. bxc4 Kg4 ({if} 38... e6 39. fxe6 Rxe6 40.

Falkirk Herald, 2 Sept 1936; Glasgow Herald, 5 Sept 1936; BCM, Oct 1936, p494.
The entry in the Glasgow Herald (5 Sept 1936, p7) reads: "Winter played [37.
Qh7+]... But H.T. (Saltcoats) and J.H. (Motherwell) point out that Qh7 was bad
and Qc4 instead makes it not at all clear (to say the least of it) why Winter
should lose. As far as we know, this has not hitherto been pointed out. The
position is most interesting, and we recommend it to analysts and students." 
The following week (in the same column, 12 Sept 1936, p3): "Mr James Henderson,
Motherwell, one of the two readers who pointed out the error made by Winter
against Capablanca which we described in detail last week, tells us he had the
cheek (the word is his own) to write to Capablanca himself about it.
Capablanca replied that 37.Qc4 was certainly White's best move, but that the
endgame would then be won by Black and not White. Does this reply mean that,
if Capablanca was to play the White side he would not expect to save the game
against a competent opponent? If so, it is an adjudication that we were not
prepared for by your examination of White's resources."} 0-1
