Finally, Respect! | Vidmar vs Capablanca | San Sebastian (1911)

[@fredericoharg5042]

Reasons for subscribing 1. Clarity of voice (sounds like Boris Bedenov) which is pleasing. 2. Clarity of chess logic (helps to advance in knowledge for beginners). 3. Gives photos and background of chess masters (interesting). 4. Clear pronunciation of foreign names (intriguing). 5. Personable (Sure I’d like to meet him and have a beer). 6. Able to to laugh at himself (Capablanca familiar with opening moves?). 7. Keeps my mind active and I look forward to his next video.

Vidmar was one of the greatest sportsmen ever to play the game. At London 1922, Capablanca played brilliantly against him and had a won game by the adjournment. However, Capablanca forgot the time of the second session. Capablanca's clock wond down, and his flag was about to fall. Rather than win a lost game by forfeit, Vidmar turned over his king.

The French text on the page you showed says : "The copy of the game has been lost; it's regretable, but it is only a loss from a documentary point of view and do not affect the "complete gathering of Games played in the tournament". The game is comprised of about twenty moves approximately and ends in a draw; the two opponents played very well but a little bit mechanically [like engines, we would say today], they seem to have been inspired by this careful principle : "Do not hurt me, and I won't hurt you either". source: I'm French (and the text sounds a bit old/very literate French)

Capablanca should have asked Teichmann to help with the heat problem in the room with the Vidmar game. Always call Teich support for a problem with Windows.

Windows were probably as unreliable then as it is now.

[@zekeriasvarg530]

Capablanca should have studied vitamin C but it was not known in that time for the rest of you study the information by Dr Robert Cathcart and bowel tolerance method with ascorbic acid to take down all known infectious deceases its out on the internet and its hated by the banksters that owns big pharma. A cold takes around 40-60 grams ascorbic acid a day.

I am from France and you said the game between Capablanca and Teichmann ended after 8 moves but the text next to the moves said that the game actually lasted somewhere around 20 moves.

[@agadmator]

Yes, but the moves are unknown. And Thank you for the info :)

[@Hexalyse]

@@agadmator Yes. The French text says : "The copy of the game has been lost; it's regretable, but it is only a loss from a documentary point of view and do not affect the "complete gathering of Games played in the tournament".

[@botnarudaniel6828]

It also says that the players played correctly but somewhat like without thinking to much. The last sentence shows that the game wasn't the Draw of all Times : " The players played follwing this principal : Don't hurt me and I will not hurt you ". I suppose it was a clean nice draw like they are thousands in modern Chess.

[@vrebds2484]

2:39 I like that *Bishop* photo in the book page... Usually, bishops looks weird in book mode... But, this one is really good one 👍👌👌

[@panda4247]

I suppose it is because the text is French.... And in French, the bishop (chess piece) is not literally translated as bishop (religious rank), but the call it something like a joker, fool. And apparently they have the appropriate picture for that. In my language (Slovak; and similarly in some other Slavic language), the bishop is called as "strelec", translating "shooter", or hunter in some languages. But we use the English picture. I always wondered, why it the connection between the shooter and the picture... and then I leaned English and realized that the picture is a bishop's hat, and nothing to do with our shooter. The French have it better, they use appropriate name-picture scheme

Never thought i would hear the words 'no opening theory' after all the memes.

[@DvdAvins]

It's worth noting that there were prizes for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places and also non-placers got money per point. Wikipedia lists Vidmar 3rd. I don't know if there was a tiebreak system in use for the prizes. If he finished tied tor 2nd and 3rd, Vidmar won 2500 Francs. If he was only 3rd, he won 2000. Had he lost, he would have at most 1500 and perhaps as little as 850. (Or, if the system was perverse and finishing co-fourth made him ineligible for the point money, 750.) Of course if he had beaten Capablanca, he would have won 5000, but he did have something to lose by not taking the draw.

It might be a stupid question, but I wonder where did you get a photo from Capablanca with such good quality, when all the other photos from other players of the same period of time are clearly so old. It makes me wonder if there was such a technical high quality available at that time. Capablanca looks pretty young too so the answer to this "riddle" is not that the photo was taken so many years after. I don't know much about cameras history. It would be great if someone who does could bring some light into this mistery….
