There was a famous game played in AVRO 1938 where Botvinnik defeated Capablanca. White's pawn structure was considered as highly favourable and Black players started to avoid it. Later on Black players began to employ better methods and the line began to become much more popular.

In the eighth round of Bhopal Intl 2017 Suat Atalik got the same position of Capablanca-Botvinnik. It was very interesting to see how an experienced grandmaster of his calibre analyzed the game with his opponent Spencer Masango. We bring you the entire footage.
