@@maxnullifidian Because Dino never looked like he was trying very hard to sing well, but sang well anyway; in the same way, Capa looks like he doesn't even break a sweat when he hog-ties his OTB opponents. 😁
I mentioned this in the previous Tarrasch video, and I thought it would increase everyone's vast knowledge: The idea of placing your rooks behind passed pawns is actually called Tarrasch’s Rule. Thanks for the great videos Antonio! =)
@@matthaeus7762 It is a fallacy that Capablanca new little opening theory. He is reported as saying that he was lazy to study openings but his intuitive sense of pawn structure and piece development more than compensated for his relative minor deficit in named opening theory. But he was able to successfully negotiate and win openings against the greatest player of his era. As humans I think we can learn a lot from every aspect of Casablanca's play. Even current GM's say they have studied Casablanca's games extensively to understand chess better. Rather than Casablanca lecturing players on textbook theory he demonstrated his profound understanding of openings in his play. We only have to watch and we will learn. Bobby Fischer was a big fan as well as many other GM's of the last 60 years. If he were weak in openings then he would rarely make it past the 30th move. That is not the case. We can all learn by observation rather than repeating pithy hearsay.
@@droceretik I agree completely, but I think @Matthaeus was making a joke about the first part of the saga, with agadmator stating that Capablanca didnt know a lot of opening theory. He was, however, a genius, and to me is the greatest chess player in history!
1. Play Petrov 2. Exchange queens before move 10. 3. Study endgame :) Of course, I'm joking a little, there is no guarantee that queens will be exchanged. But if you really never make it to the end game, I assume that you are somewhere at the beginner level. Beginners always exchange queens in Petrov :).
@@salmarwow I am joking bro. I do quite often make it to the end game. My win to lose ratio is 50 50 right now. But I suspect a lot of these people are using engines. They play exceptional one second and the very next they become total noobs and start to loose in a winning position.
"Most players ... do not like losing, and consider defeat as something shameful. This is a wrong attitude. Those who wish to perfect themselves must regard their losses as lessons and learn from them what sorts of things to avoid in the future." Jose Raul Capablanca
#suggestion Lasker vs Bauer 1889 Amsterdam A victory for Lasker with a genius double bishop sacrifice against pawns to crack open Bauer's defences after castling - a fantastic game worth looking at.
Nothing flashy. Just simple moves that force the opponent to make mistakes. If you were down a pawn in the end game vs. Capablanca, you might as well have resigned in the middle game.
You are so awesome! Got to work today saw one video and made my day cool! Then I start feeling sick I go home and open youtube and get a treat to yet another one of your awesome videos! And you fixed my day again 😁 Congratulations Antonio, you are an excellent youtuber and an even better improver of your subscribers days 😁 Thanks for these great videos! 😁
Very much enjoying your channel and thanks so much for sharing your passion. I'm wondering if you're familiar with the game Ljubojevic - Andersson from the Hoogoven Tournement, Wijk aan Zee, 1976 ...It's one of my favorite games all time and I would very much enjoy getting your take on the game. In his book, 'The Art of Chess' (1980) GM Jan Timman called it the best game of the last 20 years. At any rate, thank you again and yes, I am a new subscriber who reads (and enjoys) your video descriptions!
I want to see a few blowouts. In a sense, these wouldn't be great games. But, it would be interesting to see a series of games featuring players who just didn't mentally show up and got wound around the axle.
Joseph Henry Blackburne sure got some swag. He would get up during a game, drink without permission from spectators' whiskey, say en passant and keep playing.
I agree with both of you, especially for Spassky. I would also include Timman and Igor Ivanov. The story of the latter is pretty crazy. Also, La Bourdonnais.
I just looked up Capablanca's birth and death out of curiosity and realized that I was born exactly 100 years and 1 week after Capablanca, November 26 1988
Capablanca was a clear favorite to win the 1927 World Chess Championship but he lost by 3 points. Capablanca can beat all of these chess masters in this tournament but against Alexander Alekhine he got his ass whooped.
Most of top players at the time considered Sicilian to be a dubious opening. This includes Morphy, Steinitz, even Capablanca himself. The general idea was that it's too defensive, and black gives up on center too easily. It was sometime between 40s and 50s when popularity of Sicilian increased (blame people like Najdorf for that, who contributed a lot to the opening theory). People realized that more often than not black has good chances to break in the center and have quite an aggressive play.
After Marshall safe the check mate with his black queen, in my point of view, white should d'avance the midle peon to attack bishop, so there where no way to go for bishop.
Got interested in Kasparaov vs Karpov games, so went to other chess sites to watch ones that weren't shown here. The other commentators are fine, but not close to as entertaining or informative.
Disappointing game in my opinion. I don't understand why Marshall went for the endgame while being a pawn down against Capablanca. He had nice activity but for some reason decided to trade everything. Your commentary, however, is excellent as usual.
Should the player be hit with a truncheon for making a legal move that you don't understand? They were GM's and I assume they had some chess playing ability.
Nobody can win on RUclips with all viewers. If you don't win much your a loser, if you win too much someone is bored. What is the precise win loss ratio that will keep you entertained? You would probably be unhappy with this as it would be too balanced.

Every time I make a move...
Antonio: What’s the idea he...ok, so, nothing?
Such a symmetric game at 4:02 and then, thirty seconds later, white is threatening checkmate. amazing.
From symmetry to 3 different end game advantages. Such is Capa.

Best thing about watching #agadmator videos drunk is you can watch them over and over without getting tired of them 😆
Sits and plays starcraft 2 when I notice on my phone that a new video has been uploaded. Now I am here. Probably lost that game.
Aga vid in my pocket ready to play when I get a minute to myself. Like is good.
Thanks, A.
It's amazing how Capa simply calms Marshall 'hyperactive' chess.
"Like chill kid, I got this"
and after 150 moves he beats him.

If possible, you should review some of your own games. Great video!!
I just wrote an article on Capablanca vs Lasker world championship in 1921 so I will be interested in watching your take on it
Use #suggestion otherwise he won't read your comment.
Attack the base of the Pawn Chain. Knowledge increase :)

I wish Casablanca played a game against Bobby fisher , that will be epic
Two vast knowledge in one day!
Straight to the endgame.

Why did Marshall give up the b7 in the first place? 🤔

Question: which chess player had the most swag?
Definition of swag in this case: looks, style, attitude, life story...
Joseph Henry Blackburne sure got some swag. He would get up during a game, drink without permission from spectators' whiskey, say en passant and keep playing.
Boris Spassky.
I agree with both of you, especially for Spassky. I would also include Timman and Igor Ivanov. The story of the latter is pretty crazy. Also, La Bourdonnais.
Magnus Carlsen
@@CabbageYe I think you mean swagger, swag has a different meaning
How does this man spit out a full hour of content every day so consistently I can't even watch all this shit
can u review saric's game where he had 2 rooks and queen on the h file?
I wonder if Capablanca knew any end game theory?

Kf6 and it's Zukzwang for black

@@boaconstrictor3754 Okay my first comment was good then. then White goes Kf5 and then Black is in Zukzwang
Great saga
I don't know why but some salt can be felt from Marshall when plays capablanca xD
what are the statics to the endgame
What's static apart from electrical charges built up on the surface of an object due to friction?

thanks :) i figured he had, but he's really good!
Why do they allow such queen to B5 check ideas when they don't have any kind of resources to accomplish the position or to win back the pawn ???
Should the player be hit with a truncheon for making a legal move that you don't understand? They were GM's and I assume they had some chess playing ability.
