In fact, in style, I would be inclined to say Federer is more Tal-like, being extremely aggressive, to the offense. But in his temper, he's pure Capablanca. Effortless. Pure class.
It's not strange, that people equate Capa and Tal, even though their styles are so different. But Dvoretsky distinguishes not between positional and tactical, but between 'rational' and intuitive players, and Capa and Tal are both in the latter category.
@@RealCurrencies Yes, but Capablanca's intuitive play was always very logical and principal, pure and clear. Tal tried to mislead and baffle his opponent, Capablanca crushed by improving his position move by move.
@@fivehundrediq5212 Yeah, I agree...an old Lasker...and so on. I have never cared much for Capablanca's style of play. All of that trading to get to the end game. Los cubanos son arrogantes.
@@fivehundrediq5212 if there were stronger players against whom to play, I'm sure capablanca would have played them. To my knowledge he didn't avoid any matches because someone was too strong?

what the hell is this hating thing. all of u just appreciate greatness. Even u that didnt like Capablanca's style cant even defeat him in personal games so stfu
I'm surprised older videos on this channel don't have more views. Am I the only late subscriber who keeps watching older videos (often one specifically multiple times)?
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.
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!
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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 .
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).
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.
Other than books, you have come across a wonderful channel for watching the games of the good and the great and getting an insight into their minds and the ideas behind their moves, through the most excellent and deeply knowledgeable narration of Agadmator. You have started well. Stick with this channel and you will learn fast.
Hi i am a follower of your channel your coverage is amazing for the games and full of information about chess . Please i need to know will you cover some alkhine tournaments ?
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?
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
Agadmator Thanks for your work - wonderful job! Just wondering from a numbers standpoint whether you look back to see what your fans and subscribers are watching in higher volumes that give you the most views or "clicks"? It seems looking back just over the last week, it is as follows: Nimzowitsch vs Capablanca - 57K views Leonhardt vs Capablanca - 57K views Artemiev vs Nakamura - 62K views Kovalev vs Kuipers - 58K views Giri vs Carlsen - 124K views Carlsen vs. Duda 102K views Capablanca vs. David 63K views Tarrasch vs. Capablance 58K views Carlsen vs. Anand 120K views You can see that the numbers of views that are people watching the games of Magnus are far greater than the non-Carlsen games. These numbers/data are taken from 05:00am Chicago time, on Feb 2, 2019. Just wondering if you'd consider a higher number of games by MC? Cannot stress how excellent your work is, and still wonder if you're planning to go to St. Louis in August? Let's start a fund to raise this money!
Zekerias Varg i mean if the don’t like chess than they shouldn’t watch the video but disliking means that they don’t like the analyzing or the making of the video witch is non-sense
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
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
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.
Agamator for some reason i was suggested these games from that tournament.you mention that nimzovich never won a games against capablanca but there is a game where he outplayed capablanca only to have capablanca draw at the last minute.maybe yoy should show that one one day.
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.
But in his temper, he's pure Capablanca. Effortless. Pure class.
It's not strange, that people equate Capa and Tal, even though their styles are so different.
But Dvoretsky distinguishes not between positional and tactical, but between 'rational' and intuitive players, and Capa and Tal are both in the latter category.
@@RealCurrencies INDEED!!!

I think this is turning into your best saga. The quality of Capablanca's play is superb. All the games are interesting.
4:06 the position where Tal would capture a pawn with a bishop, without any advantage.
This comment is *in the spirt of tal*
That's what Nimzo played.....only sacrificing the knight.

And anyways Tal would never allow his opponent to constrict him like that, especially as white.

Right. Nobody can sacrifice against Tal but RASHID.
I like this picture of Capablanca, it feels like he looks straight into my soul. Good game.
Whenever I looked at that photo I felt odd. Now I know why.
One of his opponents said it is difficult to look him in the eyes because he has the eyes of a person with superior intelligence
yeah, just what I have been thinking for the last years, too!

no , but for those who go out of their way to find them that is a different matter
Elitists, like Nimzowitsch and Bernstein, get their comeuppance
Agad's channel is chess porn
Nimzo fiddled while Rome burned: he underestimated the threat to his king and failed to get his positions into position to do anything about it.
It is far old chess games are more intereting than nowadays. That's only my opinion. Great saga series from great player.
I can't get tired of this....
Vast knowledge 0:00

The PGN in the description is from the game with Leonhardt.
The right PGN is -

7. Re1 Nge7 8. c3 O-O 9. a3 f5 10. Bf1 Bd7 11. exd5 exd5

17. Ng5 Bxh2+ 18. Kh1 Bf4 19. Nf7+ Rxf7 20. Bxf7 Rf8 21. Bh5
Ng8 22. c4 Qd8 23. Qf3 Qh4+ 24. Qh3 Qxf2 25. Re2 Qg3 26. Qxg3
Bxg3 27. c5 Nce7 28. Bf3 Bb5 29. Rc2 Nf6 30. a4 Bd3 31. Rcc1
Ne4 32. b5 Rf6 33. Bxe4 Bf2
Correct move is B f2 followed by rook-lift. After cutting out white king G1 capturing of knight is pointless slaughter. Bishop cover f1.
Entertaining video as always
Awesome game. And thanks for the history.
There were no color photographs of that quality of Capablanca as young as he is in this photo. It is colorized by "Klimbim."

It would be interesting to see the tournament standings at the end of each game...
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.

Always have People that only give dislikes no metter what
I agree, perhaps there are some people who are addicted to posting dislikes. It's their work.
people that would never put up a chess channel or similar by their own
Zekerias Varg i mean if the don’t like chess than they shouldn’t watch the video but disliking means that they don’t like the analyzing or the making of the video witch is non-sense
Perfect game. The best saga yet
Capablanca was superrrrrrrrrr.
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
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.
every video you tell me you are an excellent player 😆😂 thx agadmator
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
My favorite player ❤👌👏👏
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.
Magical realism!
I feel like the pgn in the description is from a different game.....
A really great and entertaining game by Capablanca!
1+1=?
depending, are you in a deep dark forest?

Agamator for some reason i was suggested these games from that tournament.you mention that nimzovich never won a games against capablanca but there is a game where he outplayed capablanca only to have capablanca draw at the last minute.maybe yoy should show that one one day.
8:49, not if it is King of the Hill!😊

Capa style. Choke out your opponents possibilities. Deliver the venomous matechoke to the King
Everyone started commenting without watching full vedio 😂 including me😅
At 5:44, if black plays Nd8, Nxh7 may be mostly brutal for black..isn't it Master?
Love your vids🙂
