Treybal had an affection for
Treybal had an affection for Dutch Stonewall type positions (it was with such an opening that he defeated Alekhine), and that's what he used against Capablanca. Although it left him with left space and one of the worst light-squared bishops in recorded human history, the seriously locked pawn structure probably left Treybal relatively optimistic about holding the game. One would expect Capa to look for some way of blasting the position open: in the center, the kingside, the queenside – somewhere.
Instead, the great Cuban kept locking up the board. Early on, he eliminated the realistic possibility of breaking in the center, and then he locked up the whole kingside and almost everything on the queenside. Almost. Only the a-file was open, and although White was able to achieve absolute ownership over it, it was far from obvious that he could achieve anything there. That Capablanca knew that he could break through in due course, despite Black's ability to shift his cramped pieces to the danger zone, shows his legendary ability to think schematically.
