A very beautiful game indeed with so many possible variations. I'm stunned that someone was able to see through all of this and choose the best moves. Capa a true Titan among us mere mortals.
"What the heck happened there" - so true! amazing. Who would have thought that the position of the king one suare left is so crucial for the mating attack on opponents king on the OTHER side of the board!
This match was during a period of over 8 years in which Capablanca was undefeated- including a world championship match v the great Lasker, and games v Alekhine (who didn't beat him until 1927), and being confronted by this Marshall gambit which very few players could have resisted.
Capablanca was the best...the only fact that he refuted this gambit...against his creator having analizing many possible lines...that tells everything...I myself have outplayed many strong players as black with this line...i would say only Capa is able to meet this position the very first time...
@kingscrusher The rybka line with Bh2+ seems to be nail to the coffin of positional analysis, I think. Two positions - on the first glance virtually identical, yet one is winning, the other losing. Suares, pieces, development are all the same, the only thing different is "king's safety" and that looks like a blanket term for everything that has to do with tactics. Conveniently, "King's safety" is also the only term you can't assess "objectively" (without going into variations)
watching it now dont feel like you led up to this game enough -- legend is marshall prepared this gambit (which as you say is still played at the topmost levels today) specifically for capa. the attack is obviously vicious & capa was defending on pure instinct & natural ability. really beautiful how he turns the table.
@TheGambler666 not hasty at all. he was a gambler ;) the gambit is sound & he hoped to catch capa on his heels. this is one of the best illustrations of capablancas natural feel for chess & overall style. immense preparation vs off the cuff intuitive ability.
@MagikoZari I aggre with you. Well, that's the evolution of style in 21st Century. That would be their analysis of that style in hologram-tube videos :)

@MrGatherfield because many players these days ,even IMs use computer analysis with result to have only a few wiknesses in their position yeah,i know... the good old days have passed
@MrGatherfield partly yes but keep in mind that these days players just cant afford to create an immortal game like those in the old days your opponent will crush you ruthlessly if you try to impliment a novelty one of the reasons is that chess is approached more like science and maths than a game in addition players use computer technology to advance their play i think we ll never gonna see again games of this particular style from the moment that computer is part of chess

I have added links for the Capablanca playlist and the Evolution of style map in the description of this video.
i love how you present capablance, the games look so smooth...It is VERY helpful to me and changes how i look on chess!

i was wonder when you were going to annotate this! wonderful!
prob my favorite game ever, thx kc

only Capa would resist such a Gambit !! nice vid

There is good reason to consider him the greatest player

I remember you posted this game before. Its all good, to see it again makes for more evaluations.
@xylyze Thanks..I found the site but couldn't get it working..which vid was it?

Amazing analysis! Why is it that the games back then, seem to had more tactics than today's games?
@14:31 those are always the moves that stick out when I watch the masters play. White will never get his knight or rook developed if he takes on f2!

Can someone tell me the software he is using and is it free?

capablanca is the greatest of them all ,imo......elegant
at 9.30 why not play K h1 after the check
If Kh1 you lose the queen with Qxf2. The king is the only defender of the Queen on f2 which is (at 9:30) only being defended by her own king.
why not end the game with Qxf7, I mean, I could be missing something
oh i see to protect queen
@thegreatsolar I wonder how Capa would cope as a natural talent in today's chess.
@MagikoZari You mean that today's players memorize an awful lot positions than the classic players?
Hi Kingscrusher..totally unrelated to this vid, can u point me towards a free online endgame tablebase? Thanks :)

is the site KC used last time in his video.
@shinyninetales999 that's what I thought
@MrGatherfield Positional play hadn't developed as strongly at that point.
In Spanish, J is pronounced like an H. So José is pronounced like ho-SAY (more or less)

the good old days have passed
and yes ,players of now days are more "educated" and trained to positions than the classic players
