Capablanca's Greatest? : Bernstein-Capablanca 1914

In the year 1914, Capablanca was not yet at his prime. However, he was still one of the strongest players in the world. The young Cuban was still one of the best two or three players in the world at the time of this game. His opponent was Ossip Bernstein, a fascinating player. Bernstein was a brilliant Russian attorney, most likely in the world's top 10 players. This game was an amazing struggle of giants till the last move.

This is perhaps my favorite game ever. Wait, I've said that like 20 times...
That's all, and thanks for reading!
