The story
After 27.♗xd5 27…exd5 a long rook endgame begins, and Stockfish sees it as balanced for thirty moves. Only 57…♖e1 and 58…♖e3+ give White the advantage. Then Capablanca's king walks forward – 69.♔d5, 70.♔d6, 71.♔c7 – and the pawns run: 75.f6+, 83.e6.

The moves from the start of the endgame
Values: Stockfish 19 at depth 24 with a time limit, for White in pawns; from five men or fewer the verdict of the Syzygy tablebase. A measurement that did not reach the depth does not count.
