To those of you who read the description: You are an excellent subscriber! :)
Play in the match began on March 25 and ended on April 5. In the first game Kostic resorted to the Petroff's Defense and a long-drawn-out battle for position ensued, which, after fifty-one moves, was adjourned until the following Monday. The position then had all the appearance of a draw, but Capablanca, with the infinite patience that characterizes his at all times simple style, applied himself to the task of working out a win, and in this he was successful upon resumption of play. In the meantime, the second game, opened by Kostic with an Italian Game, had been decided in one session in favor of Capablanca, who accepted the gift of a Pawn and won expeditiously after all of the pieces, had been exchanged.

[@Beerfish777]

As an inexperienced player I am learning a lot from some of these videos in regards to having well placed pieces on your own side of the board (see the knight in this game). I tend to not be satisfied unless I attack all the time and that is how I get myself into real trouble. Patience and always have a plan B.

[@somewhere6]

Capablanca had a presence that seemed to intimidate most opponents but I have a feeling that Alekhine would not have missed Bh4. It was the one chance. After that, Capa was in machine mode.

[@n20games52]

Great rook maneuvers!

[@MrOTcomputer]

*Castling OFFICIAL Chess RULES States:* *_(I am a stickler for the rules!)_* Castling is a *king move,* and so the *king must be touched first.* If the rook is touched first instead, a *rook move must be made.* Once the player touches a rook in the process of castling, they must castle with that rook if it is legal to do so. If the player completes a two-square king move without touching a rook, the player must move the correct rook accordingly if castling on that side is legal. Otherwise, the move must be withdrawn and another king move made. If the player touches both pieces in attempting to castle illegally, the king must be moved if possible, but if there is no legal king move, then there is no requirement to move the rook. -- If you review the behavior of castling closely, you should notice that when castling *Rook first,* it not only appears awkward, but doesn't follow the appropriate chess piece hierarchy and piece value. When the King is moved first it follows the more appropriate chess hierarchy. Because pieces like pawns cannot go backwards, it is important to follow the appropriate moves during chess. You touch a piece, you move that piece, your move is done. Because chess is extremely competitive, it becomes necessary for the rules to be upheld fairly. *Unintentional* Illegal castling is the most popular illegal move in chess because players touch their ROOK FIRST. It's painful to lose a game to this, more often than you would think, mistake. I hope this helps. Thank you. _Excellent & Brilliant _*_"agadmator's Chess Channel",_*_ I highly recommend SUBSCRIBING and/or DONATING._

[@MrOTcomputer]

@Blejz No one, in that case. I am referring to deliberate cheats and back room planning. Most people might not think cheating is something good players do but when it comes to competitive anything, I was shocked to find people doing it far more often than you might think. in fact, these cheaters claimed that an experienced player should know when to cheat and when not to. Meaning they had an entire philosophy on it. There are a couple of cheats in competitive sports/games right now that I have my eye on, that in my opinion, are a disgrace but they don't care and people are applauding them for it. It sucks but it's a reality. I don't like playing chess against cheats but I am always ready to do so.

[@elegomeskin]

Capablanca's brilliant opening moves to the Petrov illustrates his deep knowledge of opening theory to the Petrov. He left himself in a comfortable middle and end game which Capa easily exploited.

[@DvdAvins]

That Bh4 move was eerily similar to Ivanchuk-Anand in a different Petroff's position. I saw Bh4 coming because of that game, which was one of my favorites when taking up the Petroff's 30 years ago. (It happens that Anand's position was unsound until he won, but it was very creative and he did win.)

[@JonahNeff]

We need some merch that says "Completely Winning"

[@gillamonster]

How much opening theory did Capablanca have? It’s been so long It’s eluded my memory

[@droceretik]

While it is said by some experts and chess theorists that Capablanca had relatively little knowledge of opening theory, I propose that that he had an innate or instinctive command of opening principles. If he was "poor" at openings, he would have little chance of getting beyond move 15. He was able to get into the middle game and beyond in a very high proportion of his games. Would he succumb to current opening tricks and gambits? Did he succumb to experts on openings? I don't think so. Here is a quote from Wiki "He wrote several chess books during his career, of which Chess Fundamentals was regarded by Mikhail Botvinnik as the best chess book ever written. Capablanca preferred not to present detailed analysis but focused on critical moments in a game. His style of chess was influential in the play of future world champions Bobby Fischer and Anatoly Karpov." I don't think a player like Capablanca enters the top 3 of all time greats by being poor at openings. A lot of players these days wrote learn openings from engines but after their opponent deviates from opening theory on move 10 or 15, they are lost.

agadmator blunder at 4:56

[@MrOTcomputer]

10:06 - I'd move White E2 to E8. Black is forced to capture with Black rook unless he wants to trade a queen for two rooks. 11:16 - I would have tried Black Rook to D5 to D1 not D5 to D4.

[@asfurcela100f9]

12:16 why not knight D4??

[@omtomic]

7:07 Why not just Rb8 and you win back the pawn?

[@lordstarship827]

After Rb8, Qa6 is a good idea. Brings the Queen into the nice diagonal so it can actively defend on the king side. It's just trading a pawn, so it's not that great for example after Rxb2 now after Qa6 then Qd3 just going after the rook, it would be very hard to defend it since the other rook is stuck on b2.

[@omtomic]

@Pablo Man Yeah, that's a good explanation,thanks... I have an impression in this match that Kostic often easily give up the pawn,without good compensation,and that's not a good idea against Capablanca... He lost all three matches because he was down a pawn.

[@omtomic]

@@lordstarship827 Hmm yes,you are right,from a6 Queen can go back into the game... But black's rook on B2 is also on active square,I would say.. but ofc I am 1500 player,and I am probably wrong :D Thanks for answering :)

[@lordstarship827]

Огњен Томић It's not that much of an active square compared to Qd3. Plus, your rook is stuck on the queen side while you are attacking on the king side. With the addition of the Queen, white can easily trap the rook, pick it up, and bring the queen back to the game. That's why black brings the rook to g1. He tries to make the queen stuck the entire game, and it works.

[@shirishsharma8372]

I thought kostic could do something in middlegame but capa was too much for him.

[@ericvinnetona6956]

As a beginner at 1100 rating I need the answer what is better a horse and a Bishop or a rook

[@philibuster2137]

Depends on the situation on the board, but generally I'd prefer to have two minor peaces for a rook (only the mating pattern is somewhat complicate although it of course works).

[@usernameisgood]

Depends on the situation. Typically 2 minor pieces are more valuable than 1 rook. Points-wise 2 pieces are worth 1 point more than a rook (6 vs 5). A rook is sometimes better in certain situations such as endgames.

[@flytoheights1]

Eric Vinnetona Generally speaking, knight (knights ride the horse, so we call it knights usually) and Bishop is better than rook. A knight (3 points) and Bishop (3 points) is better than the rook (5 points). With a knight and bishop, you can be more active cover more space than a rook because of two pieces. You can pin or double attack the rook later. You can trade one of the pieces for the rook, but the rook can’t trade because it would be losing trading. Or another idea is you can use your knight and bishop to support a pawn push to the end of board. Rook will have a hard time stopping it with the knight and bishop defending. In exceptional cases, a rook could be better than the knight and bishop. If the rook and some pawns can dominate the knight and bishop and the rook helps promote a pawn first then a rook is better than knight and bishop in that case.

[@ericvinnetona6956]

Ok thanks for the input guys

[@manu-ox4fe]

You can't eat a rook or a bishop. So go with the horse.

[@arlekin1976]

Must be horrible, playing such a good chess like Bora did, no blunders , no mistakes really , even playing actively and attacking, but you still can`t even come close to drawing , let alone winning a game.
