The fact that Rubenstein's immortal game with a queen sacrifice as well as a rook sacrifice just indicates how famous this victory should be cause look at that bishop pair slicing like scissors and with a modern approach this game should be considered a minature!
Medo is probably thinking, "Why does Agadmator talk to himself all the time? I know that we dogs do that a lot, but not ALL THE TIME!!! I'll never understand these humans."
„Hello everyone!“ Just makes my day better.. keep up them frequently uploads 👑
The most sinister laugh by Agad at 11:05
my neighbours woke up
In all of chess, there is nothing more beautiful than a bishop pair cornering the King.
Not only the Bishop pair from Hell, but the Rook pair too. If that wasn't enough you also have the Queen plus Knight combination from Hell as well.
In fact those pieces were directed by an artist from hell
someone will be from heaven too
Very much in Rubinstein's positional style. His attacks didn't come from nowhere - he put the pieces there so he could get a crushing win.
Ha you're funny
Perfect games: the best moves (accuracy)
Immortal games: best aesthetically pleasing move among the best moves (accuracy + beauty)
alpha0 has perfect games probably. idk tho chess is complicated so many combinations we cant be 100% if thats the perfect move optimally.
So many parallels here with Anand's immortal against Aronian with the knight coming to g4 and the queen to h4, and the snipers just waiting in the other corner! The bishop pair is truly from hell, and fully operational.
They do often compare those two games!!
Had that same thought!
Yeah watching this it's so similar to Anand's immortal indeed, but this features a queen sacrifice as the biggest difference. Bishop's are so strong when the board opens up for them it's nice to see.
Anyone subscribed to the channel for 5 years deserves kudos! But if you remember he covered this game five years ago, you deserve SUPER KUDOS!
Waited so long for the remake of this masterpiece.... finally inner peace😊
You're awesome dude. A great Teacher!!! I'm following the channel for more than 5 years. YAY!
তুমি বাংলা?
I'm Assamese bruh.
I dont even know when did i started watching agadmator.
I think i have seen all his videos in the past 4 years
I'm pretty sure that i have watched all the videos as well.
@@mandeepbarman1894 antonio is a great guy, he deserevs it all
Hey Agad, I would like to see more Rubinstien games if you have them.
Me too, would love too see more of his games
#suggestion
I would like to see less of your comments. Thanks! :)
There are a lots of great games from Rubinstein
@@johannes417 no there aren't
it’s always nice to see agadmator covering old games
The type of game that makes you fall in love with chess. Majestic.
Vishy's immortal reminds me of this. Monster bishop pair impacting the game from long distance, multiple pieces hanging at once, adding complications and threats with every move. A masterpiece!
Probably the most beautiful series up to mate I have ever seen. And these guys did all of their calculus without chess engines assisting them. Incredible. I wonder how the top GM of that time would match up against a modern GM? Guess is NO contest. Favor modern GM.
Give Morphy 6 months to train and it's anyone's guess 😁
Mondays usually aren't usually great but this game made my monday great. Thanks Agad
Rubinstein has been a lifetime favorite player of mine. This remarkable game is high chess art. A masterpiece.
Thank you for making this video on my birthday! It's been a tough day as it's the first without my mother. She took her own life a few months ago. But this definitely brightened my day!
Hey happy birthday dude, i hope you and your family are doing okay.
@@kennystimpson2775 Thank you sir. I appreciate the sentiment!
I am so, so sorry to hear that. I’ve lost people the same way
I hope this isnt way out of left field, but there’s a musician named Yebba who lost her mother to suicide as well. her music is really cathartic for me, and for a lot of people - she’s incredible at expressing all of the shades of loss & hope
There is no real ‘fix,’ but if you ever want to hear something by someone who knows what you’re going through, i’d recommend her music. her song ‘october sky’ in particular is dedicated to her mother.
Hope you find healing. keep going
@@nicktomato7 thank you for taking the time to write this. I really appreciate it. I will absolutely check that musician out. Have a wonderful day. You just made mine
@@nicktomato7 I love it. I wonder if it's called October sky because her mom died in October. My mom died October 3rd. 🥺
Nobody comes here for the picture resolution, but when you've already done it all and are the best, I guess there's nothing left to improve but that.
The archetype of the Bishop pair from hell! The greatest chess game, just my call
Definitely one of my favorite chess classics. I remembered suggesting it a while ago for this game's remake. Never failed to deliver the good stuff!
Lovely finish. Keres has been lauded as the greatest chess player who never made world champion but I think Rubenstein would be another candidate for that title. In fact, if you haven't already, I'd enjoy a series from you about such players.
Hello.. this is probably my favorite game of all time. Thx for everything you do.
One thing to like about chess history is that it all remains current. Basic rule changes to the game happened in the very distant past, so we can examine positions just the same as any era. The only rules chess has moved ahead from olden days with are the introduction of clocks, three-fold repetition, the 50 move rule, and other minor regulatory facets not directly in conflict with the game's classic structure.
Yes, and it is just amazing to see how our understanding of the game deepened over the years through the insights of the earlier masters. Modern engines have kind of killed that process. But hey, if you are not a professional and just an enthusiast like me, what's better than enjoying classics like this one.
@@augustedupin9576 Yeah. Engines have put finality on everything. But for a couple of obscure puzzles, they have solved chess in the everyday sense. This does take away our own deductions and mocks the commentaries from the masters and authors in the old chess books. Sure, it's fun to explore those errors with the engines, but again, that finality puts any further arguments to rest.
Definitely in my top 10 greatest games of all time.
Who are 1-9
Ah a return to the classics after a looooong time! Refreshing.
Akiba Rubinstein! One of my favorite masters of the past.
Rubinstein was just as good if not better than .... Lasker Alekhine and cappablanca... He should have been the world champion but was never given a fair shot.... It is some pretty sad stuff if you research it
5:12 the position is symmetrical here except for the white rook still tucked with the king. White squandered his first-to-move advantage and is now even a move behind in development, making black 2 moves ahead.
Really shows the power of the Bishop pair! Absolute monsters this game
Thank you Agad. May you be blessed with abundance, prosperity, great health, immense wealth and happiness
Rubinstein played b4. No wonder Agad enjoyed this game.
One of my fav players, i also play his variation in the french defence
Thank you for the good stuff!
Keep showing such videos with storytelling. We love it.
I've been here a couple years, I very much appreciate these redos. That said, some kind of upload numbering convention would be nice.
I will watch this every morning while I travel to work for one full month !
I find your videos most satisfying..
Live Long and Prosper....
Surely seems to be one of my favorite games that I've watched. What an amazing attack he found. Such a feeling it is. I've pulled off some cool things as well. But I'm sure not anywhere near the consistency
We want new historical Saga! Rubinstein or Lasker, my choise.
Hey man… really love the channel.. More power..!
Ah, finally see another bishop pair from hell again after some time
Applause for this masterpiece.
There are players out there who could die very happy if they never did anything but play just one game like this.
This video was special and great. Keep it up
Fantastic!!!
Agadmator: shows and also reads the table with the standings that says very clearly that Rubinstein was second in this tournament.
Also agadmator five seconds later: Rubinstein managed to win not only this wonderful game but also the whole tournament..
That's why we love him!!!!
We should be grateful. If he didn't have that trait, he'd be a GM and not making chess videos.
The standings are of a different tournament, not the one in which the game was played. Game is 1907 and the standings are of 1911 Karlsbad tournament
@@agadmator ohh sorry then,my fault, I didn't understand correctly. But you must also admit that you are quite a suspect for that kind of errors 😉😉😉
@@agadmator I understood that clearly. I don't know why others didn't.
And only two draws, at that! A man of true chess culture.
Agad: Maybe people are less interested in this, but you mentioned that the Rotlewi-Rubinstien game was, according to Botvinnik "the first famous modern attacking game." Would you be willing to show any "pre-modern" famous games? I'd be very interested (and hopefully others are too) to see what much older games in the pre-modern fashion look like. Just a thought. Keep up the great work.
p.s. If anyone is able to do a "History of Chess" series it is you.
He already did an entire saga on Paul Morphy, you should check that out.
@@dannyrus1979 True and good point. I watched the Morphy saga but I was thinking even before those days...
@@MichaelCecil Is this one old enough? ;)
ruclips.net/video/ed2Tw4ilH7o/видео.html
Also this one should be interesting for you:
ruclips.net/video/rbwGn1dPWYA/видео.html
Wonderful. (The added bonus: When you said that Rotlewi was sometimes referred to as George but that Gersh was most appropriate, I thought of the popular US composer George Gershwin, who was born as Gershowitz -- son of Gersh. Thus...Gersh Gershwin?)
It must have been electric to play a game like this over the board. I could not imagine that feeling.
Love your channel and this game
One funny moment in this video was when you mentioned that this game was played on Dec 26 making it a Christmas miracle. However both players were Jewish :)
115 yo game and still giving us a great lesson in chess :)
Absolutely gorgeous, Akiba !!!
I have known of this game for over forty years; it is one of my favorites. I always felt there was a similarity in the way Kasparov used his rooks in his immortal game against Topalov.
Incredible game truly a modern attacking game amazing forcing moves
That was freaking awesome
Hey Agad! Thanks again for your amazing content. I would like to take this opportunity to expand our collective knowledge with the information that Łódź (the town in Poland) is correctly pronounced somewhat more like 'Woodj'. The various diacritics on the Polish letters give this away. You are usually very good with pronunciations in so many different languages but of course no one knows them all and I mean only to attempt to share some knowledge with this slight correction!
The move Rh3 by Rubinstein seems to equal Marshall's Qg3 which was showered with gold coins . Rubinstein should have contended with Lasker for the world championship title but he did not have financial backers . Curiously , both the players of this game suffered from mental illness in their final years . Or , in Rubinstein case , he hid in a sanatarium faking illness to escape the Nazis .
Rubinstein was certainly mentally ill. In fact in WWII he had been put in a sanatorium by his wife. One time a nazi came to see him and asked him if he would like to go to a concentrationcamp.He replied with: Yes i'd like that very much. The guy concluded then that he really was crazy. He had a difficult time in that sanatorium and was desperate to get out. Rubinstein was very lucky then
I read he was bothered by an imaginary fly for some time. Others plainly saw his illness for some time. It wasn't faked.
No he was legitimately ill, he suffered what was thought to be a schizophrenic episode that led to him suffering from psychosis for the rest of his life. The Nazis can to the sanitarium and asked if he wanted to join the war effort and he said “I’d love to!” and they knew then he wasn’t all there
Wow! Great game! Thanks Agadmator!
The problem with the Morphy game even though his opponents consulted on the moves and he didn't have sight of the board as he was watching the opera, is the fact that Morphy was the strongest player in the world at that time, a GM (which the title did not exist yet). These 2 opponents were not even mediocre club players at today's level. Of course Morphy was able to toy with them. Great games have more appeal when the opponents are also strong players.
I agree is a masterpiece,very nice the precisión of Rubinstein
Masterful
This calls for a Rubenstein Saga!
Akiba was truly brilliant at chess
pretty amazing that i havent seen this one yet
I followed you that year 2017 now you have 1M+subs
Yep I remember your 2017 videos
ah yes, 60fps chess gameplay, what else do we need
'Sorry about that, against the white pieces.' - Akiba Rubinstein
Brilliant game Rubinstein 😀👏🏾
Hey agad, we read Łodź like croatian Vuđ
I thought it might be pronounced that way but didn't want to risk it. Thanks, will remember it!
Actually, the proper Polish name of that city is Łódź. To guide an English-speaking person on how to pronounce it, I would suggest a sequence "woodzhi" or "wootshi", certainly NOT "lodz". Yes, the Polish language is bizarre sometimes...
@@jansupronowicz1300 Łódź yes sorry, but in Croatian we would write and pronounce it as Vuđ
@@dulektThat well may be, but not that many people (including me) know Croatian and for English-speaking individuals the letter V might suggest pronounciation like in "velocity" rather than in "wind". Which would be wrong, because Polish Ł is always pronounced like English W, never like L nor V. Hvala!
I found the Rxc3! But the queen sac was unintentional😭
I sacrifice my Queen the exact same way in half my games.
Absolutely beautiful game.
Akiba Rubenstein you have my respect sir. Wahttaaaa game 🔥
Pride and sorrow indeed...the good stuff! Game 6!
This is great, my favourite games are the old ones!
5:00 if you notice, in this position, despite being black, Rubinstein position was as if he played 2 extra moves. And that's probably why the other masters disliked that Qd2 move so much
Head swirling game.... Woow 😍 Outclass
agadmator jesi gledao kod Lexa u podcastu nedavno da te Michael Saylor (jedan od najvecih btc bullova a i najjacih investitora svih vremena) hvali !! :D koliko sam izriko pozitivno ...!svaka cast !i ja volim da pogledam tvoje analize i komentare na sah, pored coffechessa omiljen yt kanal za sah.Vise ga gledam nego stignem igrati u zadnje vrijeme x) Svako dobro care!
Jesam, odličan je Lex. Hvala!
Amazing game !
Funny thing. In the 1958 Soviet Chess Championship, In the game Geller vs Krogius, the position reached up to 18 e5 was the same as In the game Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, but with reversed colors!. Geller instead of 19 Rac1 played e4 and won In the ending.
Shout out Rubensteins awesome Mustache
"It takes two to make a master piece of a game..!"
Just a beautiful game...
Awesome game. The attack was so powerful to force a checkmate......
#suggestion Antonio, you mentioned this is a first modern game. Can you cover a pre-modern game, that would be radically different from what we normally see?
5 years.. 😳.. Yesterday or? 😂 You grow with your Channel. Keep going 👋✌️🍻
This game reminded me of Anand's immortal against aronian
🔥
The mating patterns and lines in this game are very similar to that of Aronian-Anand Wijk aan Zee
Aronian vs Anand Wijk 2013 is essentially a repeat of this game!
Amazing game. Powerful bishops.
At 5:11, after 15 moves, the position is completely symmetric (!) apart from the black developed rook and the black having the next move, which means white lost two tempos up to the moment.
#suggestion Could we maybe see a new look at the Kasparov Immortal? With a more in depth analysis of the H8 rook? Tal's Drowning Hippo would be fun to revisit also.
0:54 - City in which the game was played is Łódź and u can read it as "Woodzh"
Great mustache
Super cool
What if after rock to C3, white takes the juicer on B7?
