The Power of the Rook on the Seventh Rank

Hi everyone,

In this post, I will be going over a very instructive chess game between Capablanca and Tatakover that shows the power of a rook on the seventh rank. In this game, Capablanca sacrifices a few pawns to get the rook onto the seventh rank. Capablanca's endgame play is one that is difficult to match even in modern times. So here I am presenting you with a 90+-year-old game. 

I hope you guys enjoyed!
