As much as I love crazy in-your-face tactical attacking players like Tal or Nezhmetdinov, it's mindblowing how on the other end of the spectrum Capablanca does all the right things in such a slow, relaxed and transparent way, but still you can't do anything to stop it. It's like standing their waiting while an anaconda wraps around you, preparing to consume you.
True. Capablanca, Karpov, Fischer, Carlsen.
you're not exagerrating ... that was a true master class by the great Capa. Thank you.
Great commentary, In the future would you please show the game from blacks point of view or the winner’s point of view. Thank you.
New to this channel, really like your commentary and explanations. Thank you!
I learned the most from .studying Capablanca. He is my favorite chess player.
Excellent presentation, thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thx chess-dawg. Beautiful game, beautifully explained. Subscribed.
Appreciated. Thanks
thank you great job all the best to you sir
In a study conducted by Matej Guid and Ivan Bratko of the University of Ljubljana titled "Computer Analysis of World Chess Champions", the resulting top player was JR Capablanca! Fischer was 2nd. Carlsen was not included in the study because of the time the research was made. The conclusion was that Capablanca most often made the most accurate moves based on engine choices. The most noteworthy description of his moves was that of their clarity.
I wonder how advanced the chess engines that were used in the study are if Carlsen wasn't included yet. Do you know what they used? Would be interesting to know
@@20Korna07 Chesscom did their own study recently, using Stockfish 14 and comparing it to all the greatest players in history. Perhaps unsurprising, Magnus took the prize with some room to spare.
If you're curious, I'll post the link on a separate reply, as I'm pretty sure YT will delete it.
@@rg7535 Let's be fair. Without computers, players played a fraction of the number of games and even dedicated players were able to effect less practice. I was thinking that Magnus probably plays at least double the number of games as any player before the internet. Fischer for example would have had to find a live opponent of GM ability at 3AM or any time, any day. That's impossible without the internet. As for his practice, I grew up with two boards, one for mainlines and one for variations and books that I had to prop open. It's far slower than doing puzzles or following computer studies. So modern players have superpowers over the older ones. That's why games like this are such jewels.
@@andrew_owens7680 Absolutely, I would never discount that. Still, Magnus is the most accurate chess player in history, with all the advantages he and his peers have had over the players of the past.
@@andrew_owens7680Yes, but, at the same time, everybody else has access to these resources and there are more chess players now than then, so lots more competition.
The Clarity of Capablanca
Capablanca is my favorite chess player.
Thank You ChessDawg for this Beautiful Masterpiece!
The best chess channel on RUclips👍
I always play Capa style (no calculations), and still 600. I wonder what i am doing wrong 🤔
Who said Capa played without calculations?
He was a great positional player and endgame master, but could calculate long variations like against Marshal (Marshal’s gambit debut game) where he defended perfectly, he had to calculate all of that, that’s part of chess.
Adding on to what the previous reply said, style isn't the same as skill
You don't have to calculate to any great depth. I think the reason people don't improve is because they study their own pieces and not the opponents. Study every possible move of your opponent before you choose your move.
@@zvezdanjasovic3185 I'm pretty sure it was a joke, bud.
@@5SectorFive5 You would quickly get exhausted studying every possible move of your opponent before you choose your move. We are not computers.
Just beautiful
Whenever a "bad" bishop gets out, it becomes a "BEAST" bishop.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
This is a great underrated channel. Curious what your FIDE rating is?
Great stuff.
Man Capablanca makes Chess look so easy but then I play against 1400s and get checkmated in 20 moves hahaha.
What chess game software are you using for your display? I would really like to have that for my own! Can you post that please?
It is chessbase.
It makes me laugh when I hear Nakamura discount the great players of the past like Capa...and he plays speed chess with people on the internet and sometimes gets in trouble.cmon give me a break...
Big Brain Capa
Simply, "that's really good."
I would like to call it game of concentration both could read the other very well.
Alekhine is pronounced Ah-li-O-heen.

micro to macro!
Mainlines are a myth
Your board On the screen is alphabetical notation. But you're speaking chess notation😂 Capablanca wouldn't have. A rook on the seventh rank, it would be the second rank.
I would rather lose a game by playing an entertaining, aggressive, tactical game than win by playing a defensive,boring game. "
Well, boring is in the eye of the beholder, but I wouldn’t call Capablanca’s way of playing here defensive. With black he had the initiative for most of the game. And apparently Marshall wasn’t a pushover in those days, having a string of draws in a match against Capablanca is no mean feat.
This game was very entertaining and very instructive, not defensive at all. Chess is not all about attacking.
Sometimes. On the other hand, playing a strong defensive game can boost your confidence. Knowing that you can switch between styles if needed.
It's all about technique. Get the technique right, the game plays itself and you get the excitement!
@@altonbrekThat's what I struggle with; I frequently get a winning position but I struggle a lot to win from that point...
This is boring compare to Tal, Phillsbury and Morphy. No spectaculary mooves just tactic.😢
maybe you simply dont like chess that much as you think?
there is beauty in these "tactics"
the game it's profoundly Strategic
