- Опубликовано: 24 фев 2024
- 23-year-old Samuel Reshevsky defeats the former World Champion Jose Raul Capablanca. Reshevsky considered this game one of the most important in his career. Kasparov calls this game grandiose, while Romanovsky called it a wonderful work of chess art. The game is notable for a monumental plan that Reshevsky makes right in the opening and implements until the very end of the game.

I had never watched a game where Capablanca lost and it was explained so well

Someone rarely shows a game by the great Reshevsky. Very instructive game. Another player who deserves more attention is Reuben Fine, once considered to be better than Botvinnik and a probable world champion.
The unbelievably high quality of your comments and your didactical skills made this channel my favorite chess channel by far. Thank you very much
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Thank you so much for bringing this important games of the past!!!
My pleasure!
Analysis is very good for my level to understand game better. im 1300 so dont really understand weak pawns very well. this video was awesome to help me a little better understand weak pawns.
Thanks! I had never seen this game before. Incredible patience by Reshevsky.
My pleasure!
Great game and very clear analysis! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Terrific commentary. Thank you.
My pleasure.
Very nice commentary, thank you. Are you considering to cover some Botvinnik games in near future?
Thank you. Yes, I'm planning to do it soon.
I like the explanation thanks a lot
My pleasure.
Good video
You didn't mentioned at which position Capablanca offered a draw.
He actually offered a draw two times - on his 27th move (27.Ng4 Qd7) and after Reshevsky's 40th move (40. g4).
😮 A Karpovian grinding avant la lettre
Very thorough explanation. Just what we need for understanding these high level games.
If somebody tells you to shorten your videos, please don't listen to them. The uniqueness of your videos lies in your commentary and explanation behind every move. I really appreciate your work.
Thank you for your kind words.
Chess wisdom is bedst by test !
Despite his pressure on Capablanca's position and the pawn d5, if Capa only saw a maneuver with his queen on Qf5 where there is no victory for white and the question is whether Resevski would succeed in defeating Capa.Considering that Capablanca was older and had health problems (high blood pressure) in contrast to the young Resevski!
Reshevsky- a Polish immigrant to the United States, 8 time US Championship winner, 5 time Candidates qualifier, played quite an interesting game here.
Capablanca’s “9. … c4” (which also was his choice 3 years later against Botvinnik in a similar structure where he lost that famous game for a different reason) indeed gives an interesting flavor to the game. It prevents an immediate isolating of his queen pawn (dxc5), as well as hanging pawns (instead, b6 then dxc5 bxc5), and can prove useful in the endgame. But 16. b4 17. Qa6 & 18. b5 and suddenly a minority attack, coupled with a great bind on the b5 square (@ 15:12), and now Capablanca’s pawn majority is restrained, and so his weakness on d5 becomes the central target, is captured, the White king shelter is strengthened by the absence of enemy pawn control (greatly reducing black counter play), and the powerful white queen side army decisively infiltrates the weak black king side as the black pieces were tied up on the queen side.
A masterpiece, with the everlasting great analysis of this channel. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for your excellent review as always.

My pleasure.
I am sure you are aware that the 100 year anniversary of the New York 1924 tournament is nearly upon us. I’ve seen some channels (such as PowerPlayChess) cover the occasions so just a heads-up that it is a little over two weeks away, if you cared to.
Thanks and always looking forward to the next one.
Thanks for mentioning this tournament. Your comment reminded me of Alekhine's book dedicated to it. I heard from different people that this book was really good, but then completely forgot about it. So, thanks to you I have one more interesting book to read. I'm not sure I'll manage to do it in two weeks though, as I'm too slow these days.

I have heard the same. A very thorough book with great annotations by the wonderful Alekhine. It seems those master attackers who loved opening preparation (Pillsbury, Alekhine, Kasparov, Marshall, etc.) tended to be quite passionate about their writings. Then more positional masters (Lasker, Capablanca, Karpov) seemed to have fewer writings and more terse annotations (Lasker-Salwe, 1909, Lasker annotated a combination with a single word, “Decisive”!).
All the same, no rush or anything. I only mentioned specifically that in a few weeks that would be the official 100 year mark. Plenty of time in the year, if you choose :-)
Good luck with your priorities.
Ironic that Capa loses on the Qside, a place where he usually dominated. Sammy R. traveled throughout Europe as an 8 year old playing simuls everywhere, playing everybody and beating them all. Stupid of Capa to get himself in a position where Sammy R. could focus on a single weakness in order to create even more weaknesses.
¡Qué partida!
👌👌
Great game by Reshevsky, but a rather poor one by Capablanca: did he underestimate Reshevsky? As Tarrasch seems to have pointed out: it is not enough to be a good player, you also have to play well.

Can you please send me the chessbase reader that you are using and the mega database ?
Good game and analysis but please try to keep your videos below 15 minutes in length.
Long winded plan. Not keen.
