      Actually, that'd work in German or any other language where the etymological relative of practice does not only refer to the process of improving at something (as in English), but also to the application of theoretical knowledge.

  • @alex_logunov
    @alex_logunov 5 лет назад +3

    Thank you very much for the analysis! I really love this game showing how the estimation of position can change to the opposite because of decisions that seem to be just slightly inaccurate.
    I saw this game in the Russian book called something like "Chess game textbook", game 15, and it has some more findings.
    First, Capablanca saw the winning 53 ... Qh1 move. He supposes that Janowski was too focused to give a check on 1st line and didn't think that the exact field is important.
    Second, Janowski had an opportunity to force a draw by 54... Kc1+, but didn't use it.
    Third, Kasparov commented that 58 ... Qh4!? or 58 ... Qe3!? also could lead to draw assuming accurate game.
    All this says that before the 59th move nobody except Capablanca had an idea that white could win. It makes the game very inspiring.

    These kind of games are my favourite by far!! You have an insane attack as black but Capablanca plays the only moves to defend properly and at the same time turn the tables and win as white. Beatiful game!
    I'm curious, did Capablanca never mention this Qh1 move in one of his books? I'm sure he saw it at least after the game. I'd like to see what he thought of the position

    Thank you very much for the exciting game. David Janowski created such a fierce attack that even Capablanca had to be worried. It is a shame he missed the winning move after such inspired attacking and bravery. I wonder if they analyzed the game after and realized the near miss. Somehow modern games (and draws) seem dull in comparison to active games as this. This game and all the Agadmator videos remind that I know nothing about how to play chess well, and just how great the old masters were.Thank you for your excellent contend and vast knowledge.

Lots of fighting games. Would love to see your analysis, especially of Reti's big win over Capablanca. Lasker had lost the world championship to Capablanca a few years before but showed that he still had it by winning the tournament.

    In the line at 23:43, it is true that black would be up 2 pawns, but the white King would be able to grab the a5 and c4 pawns while the black King goes for the pawn in b7...I believe white could still draw the game!!!

    • @Larry_Kabberga
      @Larry_Kabberga 6 лет назад +10

      anyways....Stockfish engine gives a devastating advantage to black in this position (-15.99), so definitely Black wins......It is important to notice that black King goes to defend the pawn on c4 instead of going for b7...
      The winning sequence is this:
      1...Kf7 2.Kb2 Ke6 3.Kc3 Kd5 4.Kd2 g5 5.Ke3 g4 6.Ng3 c3 7.a4 Ke5 8.Ke2 c2 9.Kd2 Kf4 10.Ne2+ Kf3 11.Nc1 h1=Q 12.Kxc2 Kg3 13.Kd2 Qxb7 14.Nd3 Qc6 15.Ne1

    • @max1311
      @max1311 6 лет назад +2

    It seems that some people just have to find fault with Agadmator. Usually very trivial pronunciations or other minor matters. I find him one of the best, if not the best, commentators on any subject on RUclips, not just chess. I'm into constructive criticism but the majority of negative comments are just nit-picking rubbish. Keep up the good work. How do I donate to his commentary? I'm an old guy who doesn't know everything about RUclips channels.

    Antonio, you've helped a lot of people to improve their chess. I'm just wondering whether this project has improved your chess as well. I can't see how it wouldn't, but I'd like to know what you think about it.

    Kudos to Janowski instead a flow attack that lead to an early draw by repetition he provide one game fill with possibilities on both sides. Nowaday players know better and take the draw. The precison of Capa and the others great players of that era has nothing to envy to the game of contemporary great players. I always heard when I was a kid that capablanca was the best end game player ever. Maybe not. but he is up there with the all time best. Thank you again Antonio.
