Love the title! I look forward to your videos, they’re the best! I watched dozens of them yesterday. A great way to spend the day when it’s too cold to go out!
The Human Chess Machine whose games were so simple and efficient that it appears that he moved intuitively, rather than as a result complex calculations. My childhood Chess idol and, even after seeing all the modern Super Gms work, I still rank him among the 5 best of all time.
I'm all for this Capa love fest, and it's great to celebrate his story, which is legendary. And in terms of sheer natural talent, he was one of the absolute greatest, no doubt. But once in a while I feel the urge to kindly remind people of the fact that Lasker is too easily overlooked. Not by his contemporaries, who appreciated his greatness, but certainly by history. Lasker was so far ahead of his contemporary rivals, it still eludes most modern players. Even Capa more or less tricked Lasker out of his title, which he had held for something like 25 years (!!) or so, by bringing him to Havana, a climate and schedule/travel he could not cope with. Lasker could not find a decent sponsor in Germany for a match, sadly. At that stage he was definitely beyond his prime, while Capa was at his best, but still, a fair match would have proven still a daunting task for the Cuban, of that I'm sure. Capa himself stated even in the thirties that 'Lasker could still beat anybody', and he was in his sixties then, and while at that stage Lasker could no longer fight a sustained campaign, he was still capable of directly competing with the best players in the world. He was an unbelievable genius who was incredibly far ahead of his time, especially in dynamic play, and definitely one of the very best, and perhaps the best player Chess has ever had.
Thanks for the videos and lessons , My game is definitely improving watching these masters play. Especially with your explanations of pitfalls to other plans that could have been used. It has really sparked something in me.
Regardless of what happened to Nimzowitsch against Capablanca I always recommend his book for beginners. It is called "My System" or sometimes "Praxis of my System". It is a very good introductory book for those who are learning and know the moves. It covers concepts such as tempo, space, pawn structure, open files, pins, good piece vs. bad piece etc.
Stopped to vid fo a moment to comment: Your achievement on RUclips during me watching about 10 months is really impressive, I think. Now, about 2 hrs after this video is posted, already about 900 likes, wow!. Thanks for your vids and your good personality, you got me into chess again. Oh, and I'll try not to be so lazy in the future by 'forgetting' to give a like. Keep it going and good luck with your channel Agadmator (and yourself too Antonio).
Beating world class players in such a great fashion is a privilege of a few chess geniuses. Capablanka is one of them. His precision resembles Fisher or Carlsen...
Early on in the game I could see the rook lift being powerful. Around the time of this game, my grandfather was a Spanish Basque lad living near there. He later lived in Capablanca's country Cuba.
Hello, saw your comment about your grandfather, Im Cuban. Spaniards only immigrated in big numbers to Argentina and Cuba. People of Euskadi immigrated in big numbers to Cuba, the most sucessful Cuban in the U.S.A was Cuban=Basque, Roberto Goyzueta, CEO of Coca Cola. Cristina Saralegui is also a famous Cuban person. Im personally third generation of Spanish, like many Cubans. Bye now.
it doesn't help him. it doesn't help anyone. all the advertisers need is 5 seconds, and customers will get interested and watch the rest, if not, skip it. and on most sites you get the same amount of money whether the viewer watches the ad for 5 seconds, or for 555 seconds.
In the spirit of Mikhail Tal!! 4:26 ..... B5, knight goes back, queen to a4, preparing bishop takes c4, pawn takes c4, queen takes c4+ king moves and D3, push queen pawns to activate bishop!!
well at 11:49 if the bishop captures on e4 then black doesn't need to take it back but instead like in the game bishop to f2 and there is no defence against check mate
Thanks for the good videos and comments. I think the title could be rewritten as: I'm the System! All those Nimzowitch ideas were at the end simple positional chess to the extreme: over protection, control of the center with fianchettos, doubled pawn, isolated pawn, etc.
Capablancas" French Defense is powerfully deployed using Pilidors' principal for Bishop pawns. Nimzowitsch's N sac for 2 P's and a slight position advantage is countered by black's beautifully coordinated and placed pieces. A masterpiece.
If Nxh7, then queen captures bishop, Qxc4. Now the mating threat is gone, and black has a very active queen. If you now play Qh5, black goes Qf7, and then after the queens are traded and the night moves back, white will have just lost a bishop
@@matthewmartinez6943 it took 10 months lol but thanks man. I guess I would have to just take the rook after Q takes bishop and play a position with a rook and pawn for 2 minors. Black is probably better there but it’s not terrible
A very enjoyable game. Had calculated 32… Nf2+ as being a forced mate for black after Rf6-h6-h1 even if white gives up a couple of pieces, but the immediate Rf6 is a much more elegant solution.
4:56 -- White's position here isn't really that bad; in fact, it's fairly close to even. Nimzo just needs to light a fire under his queen-side pawns: b5, (knight moves), a4, (black makes a move), Ba3 (activating White's boxed-in bishop and offering to trade it for Black's monster bishop on d6). Black is still ahead -0.5 or so, which is a lot better for White than where it was after Bh5 on 8:18. 8:24 -- Capablanca nearly kills his solid positional advantage here by playing fritter moves in the hope his opponent will fall to a trick. Black is about -2 before Qd8, but drops to -0.5 after. Why? Because it gives White a temporary breather to shore up his defenses. A nice, fat rook-lift to f6 was a better move for Black here, not Qd8. (Said exact rock lift eventually finishing the game after much other mickey-mousing around. I'd like to think that Capablanca had the closing mate-in-5 lined up in his head all the way back here, and played diversionary moves until Nimzowitsch's defenses were distracted and scattered away on other tasks.) 10:19 -- c4 was completely unnecessary to Nimzor's plan; he should have just played Bf3 right away, or slightly better yet, Rc1 or the mentioned d5. But he didn't, and the result is that Capablanca gets his mojo back that he lost by playing Qd8 previously (see above), and the drawish position (0.00 if d5) now leans solidly for Black again. 10:48 -- Retreating the rook to the c2 light square is a poorer choice than to the d2 or e3 dark squares; I suspect that Nimzowitsch knew this, but was hoping to hoodwink Capablanca into chasing it with Bd3, which is blunder replied with Rc3 (and now it is Black being harassed and retreating while White develops pieces for free). But Capablanca played the top-pick move of Nf6, and is once again bringing his piece majority to bear now that his own back-rank troubles have evaporated. 11:11 -- While Bd3 was a blunder in the line explored above (in which a greedy but inattentive child might have watched Rc2, Bd3, Rc4, Be4, Bxe4, fxe4, Rxg3 lose him a piece), here it's a great move, because the knight is now already on f6, where it guards e4 (and if landing there, g3).
i think capablanca told a few stories around that time about laziness and lack of knowledge of opening knowledge as a modern psychological way to combat his opponents and lure them into his trap , and it worked to his advantage , no serious chess player would play the game even a club player without a good amount of knowledge , fooled many raul , but i love your games and this saga .
Why did Capablance agree to a short draw in the previous round? So he would be well rested to take on a man who thought he didn't deserve to be there. He would have played the guy 100 moves if that is what it took to beat him and show the world that Nimzowitsch was wrong.
Nimzo wrote a very famous book " my system" still people read this book... the title of the video is witty... just mentioning to nimzo book... agad you are very smart.
The only good move i can see is at 5:17 g2 pawn to g3 before he start the attack (If black answers with h7 to h6 to avoid knight to go at g5, queen has checkmate)
Wow for first time ever I've managed to get one of agmadators chess puzzles. I am not an "amazing player" as usually i cant get them but his insights are starting to rub off on me
While capablanca was the better player, I find Aron nimzowitsch to be the more influential player, being a founder of modern chess and the hypermodern chess style. He also developed many variations of popular openings/defences and flank openings. He also wrote chess praxis and my system, thus all in all, I think Aron nimzowitsch is the more important chess player.
In 5:32 I dont know is if Capablanca was lazy, i thing the opposite, he calculates the defensive version and he just dont like it, it was more direct the version that he chose
In a Garcia Márquez novel call "The love in cholera age" there are a character who draw a chess game with Capablanca. This things happening only Latin American.
I’m pretty new to chess and I am fascinated how much thought is put into every move, even a simple pawn move! I wanted to know is there any way I can improve how I play chess and not blunder as much as I do?

Chess looks so simple the way Capablanca plays, it is like Federer playing tennis, all natural, nothing forced
In fact, in style, I would be inclined to say Federer is more Tal-like, being extremely aggressive, to the offense.

Nimzovich in "My System," 400 times or more: "This is my original conception."
Correct move is B f2 followed by rook-lift. After cutting out white king G1 capturing of knight is pointless slaughter. Bishop cover f1.
The game is played on the king side....that was savage 🤭

Great Game Quite an offense with the Black yet his counterplay is the Best Tks Agadmator

@@kekule543 Awesome! Thanks!
You can see in this game Capa used Nimzo's ideas against him. Probably deliberate since he would have wanted to teach Nimzo some manners.
At 8:16 my first thought was to move the bishop left or d4 pawn to d5 but still black rook first f6 and then h6 is deadly
The only good move i can see is at 5:17 g2 pawn to g3 before he start the attack (If black answers with h7 to h6 to avoid knight to go at g5, queen has checkmate)
