About this game

A remarkable first encounter: a Grandmaster against the reconstructed Capablanca, ending in a draw after 64 moves.

Two days after Schachkicker published its feature on ChessGate, Grandmaster Gerald Hertneck sat down with our Capablanca. Sixty-four moves later he offered a draw with his queen against two knights. The game runs below exactly as it was played, with commentary.

He is the first Grandmaster ever to play a ChessGate personality on our server. Thank you, Gerald Hertneck, for this game.
