{Alekhine – Capablanca, Match for the world championship in Buenos Aires 1927 White has a pawn advantage, which is the passing pawn in column A, while the king’s flank material is leveled. Another important characteristic is that the black rook is in front of the passing pawn; this is a negative aspect for the defense.} 1. Ra4! {The white rook is placed behind its last pawn.
