in this game of capablanca vs. alekhine

 

although capa won...why on move 36 did he play queen f4

 

why not knight d6 check and win black's queen?

White's queen is under attack from black rook.

So  36.Nd6+ Rxe4 and Black wins.

I think black doesn't win but it is much harder to win for white than after Qf4.
