interesting
I also see that Capabalnca was 4 years older than Alekhine and when Capablanca died Alekhine did it 4 years later. Boris Spassky visited the grave of Fischer in Island and made a joke and said: Can i be burried here beside Fischer?. Do world champions get related in some way when they play each other so much times?. What about Kasparov and Karpov? Hope they will be alive and well for a long time

National Master
Staunton (perhaps the strongest player in the world circa 1843-51) also died at 64. Fischer listed Steinitz and Staunton (both of whom died at 64, like him) on his list of the 10 greatest players ever.

@favoredsongsactually the entire line is flewad why not move queen to b3 after castle?its a stronger move IMO and leads to Qf6 in order to protect against matethis leads to whites extremely strong move Bg5. black responds with Qg6 to keep with the protection.then white takes pawn with Nc3 black responds nf6 to castle quickly.either way if queen plays D5 then it loses a massive advantage in position over Qb3
