Capablanca never ceases to amaze, what an amazing talent he was. Thanks for making this series, because we can actually see the talent that one of the most underrated world champions of all time had.
Globe Alone Well, Id heard about Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer and Lasker, amongst few others, before i even knew how the pieces moved, but never had i hear about Capablanca before agad started the series
If you thought capablanca was underrated, I guess you are new to chess, many books contain capablanca brillancy, mostly the endgame. Also quite a few books mention him as legendary. He was never underrated, maybe you just don't know him because he was in a different era. All world champions after him also held capablanca in the highest regard
underrated??...NO WAY he is considered the best of all time for many people, he cant be underrated.......in fact Karpov is more underrated than Capa....and he is not...
Karpov is vastly underrated. He earned the title from the resignation of Fischer, and he lived in the shadow of Kasparov his entire 2nd half of his career. Karpov, is one of the strongest players to have ever played as well. His life time score against Kasparov is the closest of any rivalry ever. Capablanca is far from underrated. Capablanca is literally in the top 5 strongest players on everyone's list. If you run his game against Marshall in the Marshall Attack through an engine, you will realize that he made 0 inaccuracies, mistakes, or blunders. It is the most sound game I've ever seen. He just played engine moves while his king was chased across the board from the attack.
that sounds just crushing..... "i can´t show you anything because any move loses"............... and i´m glad i found the move with the bishop at the end...... those quizzes are finally paying off somewhat
Hehe, i like how Lasker played both sides. First Capablanca gets called Lasker, later Tarrasch. :p Anyway, great video! I want to add some random information in case you didnt know about that Agadmator. Of his 578 tournament games Capablanca only lost 37!

Thank you Agad I subscribed you last year in January And since then i watched all of your videos First i liked chess but just because of you I LOVE CHESS NOW
thanks agad for reviving the love of chess in me. i used to play a lot in my younger years i even won 3rd place in national chess championship. but stopped playing in high school. thanks a lot agad...
This saga lead me to tarrasch and Lasker rivalry ..There was no love lost between the two masters. The story goes that when they were introduced at the opening of their 1908 championship match, Tarrasch clicked his heels, bowed stiffly, and said, "To you, Dr. Lasker, I have only three words, check and mate"-then left the room.
Even tho it might have occured to others, the word you're looking for is "showstopper". That was a showstopper move. I'd like to compare it to giants but it would be a sacrilege.
After a possible queen exchange (just after 34. Qe2 Bd2 ) i think that it would be possible to defend the dark square bishop with Rd1? But "the doctor" simply wanted to fullfill a sneaky plan to bring a checkmate Qf8+... Qg7# I already watched the video yesterday but i hesitated to ask: how much opening preparation did Capablanca bring to this game ;) ?
The Capablanca saga is a great follow up to the Fischer saga. I didn't know Capablanca was such a skilled end game player, like Fischer. If I ever played Fischer, Capablanca, Carlsen and we had an equal middle game, I would just resign. Their end game is just too strong and there's nothing to do here.
When white doubled his pawns on the f file it was over. The kingside attack white was going for was inadvisable against the well defended black king. All black had to do was solidify his position and create weaknesses on the white king with check threats. And Cap did it beautifully I might add.
I have a question about those long lines you describe that boil down to a couple of pieces and 3 - 4 pawns for each side. Did the players calculate those lines while playing and then chose to avoid them, or is it just a coincidence that those would have lead to relatively equal positions?
Hi. My first comment. I have been working on this endgame intermittently for two days. It seems to me this game is salvageable as a draw for Tarrasch. Either Q takes Q, followed by knight takes queen, R to d1, knight takes bishop, rook takes bishop, knight takes the other bishop, rook takes pawn. White ends up down a piece but can push the 'a' pawn and take black's c pawn eventually until it's rook and knight vs rook with all else equal. Every way I play it I can find a draw but maybe I'm missing something? Alternatively, white can respond Q to g3, threatening mate on g7. White loses the rook in this scenario but again it looks drawable to me. Did Tarrasch so fear Capablanca he threw in the towel early? Especially given how we've seen Lasker outmaneuver Capablanca while at a disadvantage, pulling out a draw with superior endgame play, I think Tarrasch made a mistake. Your thoughts much appreciated. Thank you for your great channel which has lifted my chess skills and fed a longtime passion.
It is not drawable. In the first variant, you go Nd8 to Ne6. Defending your c pawn with the knight while the knight will be protected by the f pawn. Rook can always go to the a8 to block the pass a pawn. You are also up a pawn and the king can easily enter the game by going to the h7. If white rook stop protecting the a pawn to go after f or g pawns, black would happily trade white's a pawn for them and win the game easily with the extra piece and the pawn. Otherwise, black is going to win by making moves with the knight since white's rook can't leave the a pawn without protection. If you want to try this you can add me on lichess to play this position. My username is Araws. Other variant is even worse so I think refuting the first variant is enough to prove that this is a simple win for black.
11:02 Why not just move the queen to D5? I immediately saw it. You don't need to worry about the pawn. he can't move if you check the king. And unless I'm missing something, it's also a mate since the knight blocks the only escape path.
After white captures the dark square bishop on d4, that knight will also attack the now undefended light square bishop on c6, so your rook attacking the bishop on d2 doesn't help the problem of having two pieces attacked
I haven´t had my coffee yet but why not white´s bishop takes the g7 pawn with check and regardless of which of the three possible moves for the black king, white´s rook slides over to the g file (with check in one case or protecting the bishop in the other two) while getting away from black´s bishop. Then depending on black´s moves, white´s queen can still jump to a1, f8 or g3
David Anton Savage took me a while but after black king moves out of the check and Qe3xBb2 black would play Qe4 check and after f3 Qe4xf3! either Rg1g2 or Qd2g2 then Qf3xRg2 Qd2xQg2 and after Nf4xQg2 Kh1xNg2 white is just down the exchange and will lose with a Bishop against a rook
#suggestion if you haven't already, you should cover the famous game between spassky and Bobby Fischer where spassky beat him with the kings gambit and Fischer wrote "a bust to the kings gambit" in response
When the move d5 was played, could he not have taken the pawn with the bishop. The knight wasn't protecting it still and taking the bishop with the queen would've lost to bg7 check, picking up the queen
@Oissev Onos I read that before his championship match with Lasker, Tarrasch refused to shake hands, stating " To you Herr Lasker I have only these words to say: check and mate."
@Oissev Onos I appreciate your insights. I don't know the whole story, but it seems Tarrasch is always portrayed in somewhat of a bad light. One of my favorite books "My System" also mentions Tarrasch ridiculing Nimzowitschs' ideas and ever since I have had a somewhat negative feeling about him, whether that is right or wrong , who knows? Sometimes in competitive arenas it makes it more interesting to have a "bad guy"! Have a great night!

Queen to D2
I am not a very strong player, so it might be a stupid question. But why at 12:35 Qd2 is not possible? Why he can’t just capture de bishop?
Nvm I found the mate in 3 =D
Good work
Also if you capture the Bishop on d2 it is mate in 3! Madness!

I'd really like to hear your commentary on Blitz game 13 of the Champions Showdown between Sam Shankland and Richard Rapport.

Capablanca is a point and a head stronger than all the other players
