Now My Grind Begins | Chajes vs Capablanca || New York (1918)

[@williamplumbridge4113]

'Capablanca says no way, just go away. No passed pawn for you.

[@manu-ox4fe]

Seinfeld! the soup nazi.

[@chuckg4812]

Of the chess game analysis pages on KZbin I believe this one to be the best. Some go too fast through the game without giving examples of optional play. Others are frankly boring. Here I learn from each video. Thanks, Agadmator.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Hikaru does a great job recapping and analyzing games but Agadmator is the best better than any other just seems more fun and he isn’t as opinionated as far as controversial subjects that streamers like Levy and Hikaru can be and that’s a good thing impartiality

[@TheMisterBlood]

You should show us the game that won you the CM title.

[@vishnueashwar]

This game really make a casual players understand the importance of position and squares

[@vishnueashwar]

Oh yes definitely

[@GusZiliotto]

yes, without squares there would be no chess

[@Nagantios]

I was about to sleep when I noticed this on my feed. Instant click. Agad, you da man.

[@stanaklol]

You could've explained why at 8:40 you cannot capture the pawn. The point is that if you do play 1.Nxd4 then 1...Re1 gives white a lot of activity and also regains the pawn with this line: 1 ...Nxd4 2. Re8+ Ka7 3. Re7 Ka6 4. Rbxb7 Rd8 With correct play this should probably end in a draw but it's perhaps easier to play with white because of the active rooks, and having a bishop vs knight is also favorable in a game played on both sides of the board.

[@s.mendoza5705]

You all have to address him as CM Agadmator from now on ;) lol

[@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser]

Of course every comment will be about Capa but man Oscar Chajes was so good.

[@Chesscat2022]

Chajes really was good. This game that Casablanca won was a great game from both sides, Chajes fought brilliantly, and Chajes victory shown previously was a great game also.

[@GrandMoffTarkinsTeaDispenser]

Agreed.

Random fact: Recently on antiques roadshow, a person had a chess board from this era but it had been damaged in hurricane katrina. On the board is a golden plack with names of chess masters who played on it. Capablanca is one, Lasker is another and many more. Thought you'd people might be interested in that stuff.

[@janjool]

What a great attacking game. Love it when neither player is interested in a draw.

Ruthless, imaginative guy against an old-school defense... one can't even imagine such an extraordinary rook moves around nowadays... Thanks for the great upload !

[@ivanjollibeemarasigan3451]

Thanks for your upload Agad! This is very informative for those who want to learn the chess basics. More Power!

[@myopenmind527]

Excellent positional play as you’d expect from Capa, beautiful mate to finish.

[@ahmedhany7795]

every other game is a type of chess .. and those played by that brilliant capablanca are another type .. i can never get bored of him ♥

[@alieskandari6036]

Fantastic game. How good tactician was Capablanca when needed. How deep his ideas were!!Many thanks

[@tonyho-idt-c5445]

*** If this game was played today, it would have been a draw already at around move 25. Players just don't seem to want to play out their games anymore. These old school players are still the best!!

[@ruanramon1]

Excellent analysis, CM Antonio Radic!

[@bokyy02]

He is not a CM...

[@festusmaximus4111]

Now you are a CM will you compete in the titled arena on lichess?

[@OttawaRocks]

Brilliant game. Did not at all see Capablanca's final attack the way it played out - where he went for mate instead of the coronation of his own pawn.

[@n20games52]

Really enjoyed this one. The end game felt like a very strategic battle. As always, your coverage is both insightful and entertaining.

[@ericsbuds]

nice! I wasn't expecting to wake up to a new Capablanca game!

[@dannygjk]

Capablanca's positional judgement and endgame technique won again. He also had an extremely low blunder rate as shown by computers.

[@SquinkyThreepwood]

This is up there with the best endgames I've seen.

[@Kadhimel]

I am happy that I appeared in the donations x) nice video as always !

[@cygil1]

@7:46 It also simply unblocks and makes active the bishop, which is more significant than the square in my opinion.

[@markokojic02]

So, are we going to see your latest tournament’s games?

[@mickyjgreen]

This channel is first class - I salute thee!

[@miad222]

This serie is Awesome !

[@kavyanshagrawal5279]

8:41 I think The reason Capablanca didn't capture the pawn is may be because if Nxd4 then black can play Re8+ and now if Ka7 then Re7 and the b7 pawn is lost and if after Re8+ Kc7 Then again Re7+ and the b7 pawn is lost

[@WitoldBanasik]

you bet

[@gheffz]

Brilliant game! Thank you! Love that this opening has not been played since! That's fascinating! I think we write-off these old openings too quickly ... they would even confuse a bot.

[@tensor1129]

welcome back to the good stuff xD

[@mohammadaminsarabi6207]

The goat: capablanca😎

[@historicalgames9107]

13:45 Comment incorrect. Capa can capture the rook with Nb4, white can't get a Queen with f7. Because black will catch the pawn with Rc8. The reason white plays f6 is that any move white makes will lose for him. And the reason Capa doesn't capture the rook is that he is torturing his opponent since he doesn't resign. He is impling that his position is so much superior as he doesn't even need the opponent's rook. He already delivers checkmate in 10 moves. Unbelievable game power.

[@adityashekhar2564]

[@brendanward2991]

8:37 - Re1 - Why didn't Capablanca capture the pawn on d4? And why did white stop defending the pawn?

[@nonothik]

I was about to ask the same. It really is a mystery. Capturing would create a passed pawn, I can't see any drawbacks.

[@alexandruepuran]

Brillian indeed! The clock too.

[@efawadh3308]

That passed pawn would have scared me to death.

[@filippostella6578]

It's fantastic as all Capablanca's pieces take part to the maneuver, expecially the King, while White King and Bishop are stuck to their position most part of the game

[@Legalockmusic]

[@dannygjk]

[@HamedAbdulla]

To improve at chess you should study Capablanca's games!

[@AJ-et6rx]

No way Jose. No passed pawns for you.

[@spaceghost7807]

You know what made Bobby Fischer's saga so much more engaging? It was the actual story behind the matches. I mean, the matches are all amazing. But knowing enigmatic Fischer was at every turn of every match, the things he would say, and ESPECIALLY during the world championship match, the various problems he created... All of it just added up to a much more engaging saga. That being said, I like the capablanca saga, but it could never top Fischer. Fischer told kids they couldn't eat candy while he played chess!!!

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Wow just one of the best endgames Ive seen in awhile Fantastic game Casablanca reigns

[@MrMilosv]

If this is good stuff, then what were the videos before :) ? Awesome vid, thanks for the great work :)

[@igorshubovych]

Wow, the end combination is a great mate in the endgame, which is rare

[@anthonyikem4197]

If Capablanca has the opportunity to use Alpha zero to learn he will definitely become impossible. Thanks yo God he did not exist in our time.

[@fabianhauser708]

Great game with fire on multiple corners of the board. Could have gone many different ways... two almost past pawns in a race just stopped before the final squares 👍

Not meaning to sound too critic: Chajes sounds like Tchahess in Spanish. If we could, I would write it with a double h before the "hess". J has a strong pronunciation.
