    Today my brother got the all clear from his cancer. The day he was diagnosed he had stage 4b lymphoma (stage 5 being dead). Anyway, for the past 8 months my family has struggled to keep it together, and only real happiness I got everyday was from watching your daily videos. They gave me strength and hope, taught me lots and made me laugh. THANKS SO MUCH AGADMATOR!!! I owe you so much. I have mad respect for you! Thanks again!🙏

    Janowski had two interesting plays to possibly defend the advance of the D pawn. Queen takes on e3, which was available for a while, or Knight back to g5, countering the pawn push with capture on e4. Perhaps I'll try those with an engine and see. Edit: Ok yea, neither works, the white Knight covers e3 (duh) and Knight back to g5 can be pushed back with the H pawn and then the plan just proceeds. Engine says Queen to d6 is the defense, before the pawn is pushed.

    @vediboy22 5 лет назад

    I do not agree with the statement regarding resigning. Depending on your skill and rating level, you should almost never resign. If a match with both players 2000+ play a game and one is up a rook or a piece with a winning position, you can usually resign. But if there is a match at 1500 or even lower, there is always a good chance your opponent will blunder and gift you a way back into the game.

    Games like these show two important things in chess. First of course is that these old champions were really talented and of course top GMs of today still learn from the old games. But it also shows another very important thing. That really they were not that strong conpared to todays chess of course due to the theory and engines. I mean most of these opponents if capablanca and others were pretty weak. I mean look at how this guy how he played in this game. I mean some of his moves are like something a 1700 player or maybe not even 1700 club player of today would play. So you have to look it at chess from both sides. If you put magnus or any of todays top players against this guy it would be a massacre lol
