Oh Capablanca

Single (2018)
He played Caro-Kann
his rating was higher
but from move 17
the kingside was mine.
Took my chances fast
my rook was a knife
and my almighty queen,
a beast on h6.
My bishop was gold
his bishop was small
with no time pressure i'd crush him
once and for all.
I gave up my good knight
but that don't mean a thing
he has more experience
but I won't lose again.
Oh my dear Capablanca
Wishful eyes decive me overoptimistic
got nowhere to go, got nowhere to go.
Shook his hand signed the score
politely as I could.
I can't analyse
can't look in his eyes.
A lonely hotel room
I cried my despair
did I allow any counterplay?
his pieces were dead.
I gave up my good knight
but that don't mean a thing
he has more experience
but I won't lose again.
Oh my dear Capablanca
where did my attack go?
I was clearly winning
2 minutes ago, 2 minutes ago.
2 minutes ago.
Now, according to Stockfish
I got it all wrong
after slightly advantage
I had nothing.
But my dear Capablanca
you tell me
we learn more from our defeats
who needs victories, right?
