The story
Rook and bishop on both sides. After 26.♗e1 Stockfish sees Black clearly ahead for the first time. Capablanca's bishop takes the a-pawn with 30…♗xa2, the b-pawn runs up to b3 – 34…b5, 36…b4, 38…b3 –, and with 48…♖xf3+ the f-pawn falls too.

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.
