Capablanca's Captivating Queen's Gambit

[@legendoliver]

Thanks to Sammy I have learnt 5 new opening to surprise people in the Irish Championship🫶

[@puvendranpillay8802]

Just stay sober dude and you will win

[@donaldyanson8144]

Capablanca is one of the most underrated players of all time. There was a time during his career as a champion. He was considered unbeatable. I'd like the way you annotate the games. You're almost like a sports announcer, giving a play-by-play.😂👍

[@kevinmalone3210]

Capablanca was a chess world champion and had a rating of over 2700. That's not an underrated player, but one of the greatest players ever to play chess..

[@donaldyanson8144]

@kevinmalone3210 What I meant by underrated? Is no one? Nowadays, seems to talk very much about him. You hear about Bobby Fischer. Magnus Carlson Gary Kassparov

[@theoneandonlyhooda]

@@donaldyanson8144 kassparov? you mean kasparov? do you have beef with him?

[@donaldyanson8144]

@@theoneandonlyhooda My talk text doesn't always say the right words or spell them correctly.

[@theoneandonlyhooda]

@@donaldyanson8144 alright it was funny you were calling him kassparov 😂

[@johnpender358]

Capablanca is the reason i played chess. And i love the Queens Gambit. Capablanca taught me so much by playing and studying his games. Whats so amazing, is that Capablanca just knew the best move to play in every postion. My favorite chess player. He just knew.

[@ernieleem77]

He is my favorite player too.

[@gralang]

In the Glicco game you might have outlined the Cambridge Springs trap, as your viewers would have noticed that black’s d pawn appears to hang after 5cd ed 6Nd5 due to the pin. BUT 6…Nd5 7 Bd8 Bb4+ wins back the Q in addition to the extra piece.

[@LS_99-qs5vi]

Definitely one of the best analysis chess youtubers out there, great video!

[@nayonchess6210]

My favorite KZbin channel

[@KlausToth]

Thank you so much to feature the great José Raúl Capablanca! Capa is one of my romantic chess heroes. His beautiful, crystal clear style, his roots in the Belle Époque, the dandy-like style of the man himself, no robotic computer chess, the easiness of his wins... it is funny, that Capa in his time of reign was called "the chess machine", whereas he was the exact opposite of a machine but a natural genius who did not study lines 24/7, like today's chess pros. For Capa chess was still a game in the best sense of the term, and the ease of his games is unsurpassed till today.

[@wilhelmbeck8498]

Clear and Concise ! ( Like Capablancas methods and style ! ) Thank you very much !

[@juliandavidalfonsogomez5854]

You deserve more views, your content is incredible.

[@ellissan8480]

You should have a million subscribers. I thoroughly enjoy your content. Keep up the good work.

[@MiltonRivers-e7z]

Nice or should I say excellent coverage bravo!!!

[@Brian3xm]

Outstanding narration. Great Job, Sir!!!!

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

Him and Lasker is who I started out with.

[@jSpirituS7]

I’m loving these older chess recaps There’s so much to learn from the ones who’ve come before! And there pictures look badass lol

[@yeezlife]

The format and commentary on this video was fantastic, thank you.

[@MrMinhduong]

Le Quang Liem, a Vietnamese grandmaster and most of Vietnamese players usually use this opening, but Capablanca Queen gambit games are really the great book for queen gambit lovers!

[@sonnypenales7]

Very nice games. Thank you very much

[@grim_gamer7575]

Underrated af

[@ponglerman]

Capa is the reason I exclusively play the queens gambit if allowed. Thanks for the upload dude. You rock! Also would you be willing to cover Fischer's benoni/KID games? He was the greatest benoni player ever imo

[@Thegodiva1995]

These days people rarely reply with d5 against d4 though, most people go with nf6. The QGD is still common but achieved through transposition.

[@hayhorca915]

​@@Thegodiva1995do you think ponglerman is a titled player or something? D5 is still the most common at amateurs level

[@Nithinnnn600]

What a player and good presentation 👍

[@greguchechukwu9022]

Great explanation and analysis. Thanks.

[@MyBodyzBetter]

Why during the Stoewhass game, when Black Queen check dies White use the knight to block, then white bishop to d3 opening for castle kingside. That gets the 2nd white rook out of the corner and the black queen has to run. Am I missing something?

[@claytonbenignus4688]

I notice that Capablanca's Opponents had four opportunities to play the Meran Variation moves ( after BxP on QB4, P-QN5 followed by P-QR6 and P-QB5). Capablanca did not have a single win against the Meran, though he actually beat Saemisch with Black with it. Was there a stigma against the Meran in Capa's time???

[@arshad4630]

Excellent 🔥

[@Grandcapi]

Queen's Indian by Karpov! Continue your amazing job.

[@sdavidleigh6642]

that is so great, thx Sammy

[@Shazali-ke4sd]

Pure genius.... Gifted chess wizard... He would have beaten modern computers..

[@joegichangi]

i got to say, you are simply the best

[@lemat579]

Albin counter-gambit may kill an happy traspasser.... WHEN it was invented? After Capablanca?

[@ft-wine]

This is what I'm waiting for. Thank you so much for your video. I learn a lot from your video. Please make video as a black as well

[@michaelmacdonald2907]

I like your format. I just subscribed . . not to boost your numbers like some miopic self-absorbed . . . nevermind. But because I want to see more of your videos . . maybe all of them ! thank You.

[@akibulislam8505]

best channel best channel best channel best channel

[@Ethiopianpiano]

only Sammy explains all the moves with knowledge. some youtubers don't know why the move happens

[@darrellscott1101]

Casablanca was a beast!

[@ChristienGagnier]

this is as good as the Fisher game anthology

[@uthoshantm]

Well against Stoewhaas, he was lucky.

[@crimsooncorp1467]

Yeah but even the best players blunder sometimes

[@Brandon-a-writer]

the thumbnail and title might be off mate that looks like a king's gambit? just a head's up man i don't want to be a prick, love the content

[@BREAKocean]

Is qgd now

[@Brandon-a-writer]

@@BREAKocean yeah, i saw. as someone who has worked on youtube for five years now, writing for a few channels, I would rather someone tell me in the comments that a mistake has been made rather than let me leave up a mistake. cheers man. I didn't wanna start any problems with Sammy, I just really wanted to help.

[@Brandon-a-writer]

I've been writing for youtube since 2020 mate, and one thing I've learned is that if you make a mistake the viewers are always ready, willing and able to correct you haha@@SammyChess1 - would love to see you cover Fabiano's Petrov [including the impossible winning line from the Magnus-Fabi WCC]. Cheers man, glad to see these videos doing so well. Would love to see MVL's Grünfeld or Najdorf here too!

[@juandelacruz3535]

I have 100 best game of capablanca by Golombek..tartakower one's said.'its seems to me i did not make any wrong move..but capas played very strong..

[@puvendranpillay8802]

Do deep blue vs Kasparov

[@johnnemoSG]

I second that... that iconic game brought me back to this lovely game of ours 😚😚

[@shawnpavlik1293]

Capa played such beautiful open lines. But couldn't handle the snaggled closed positions of Alekhine.

[@JianqiuChen]

What the heck is the king f8 then back to g8? Even I would not play that

[@lordlierhook3368]

The thumbnail and title are conflicting cause title says queens gambit but thumbnail shows kings gambit

[@lordlierhook3368]

Your welcome

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

Yes !! The Cuban 😉

[@AzamKhan-fq4yb]

good game

[@f.rikardsson9871]

But c5 instead of dancing around with its king would make a break through for black targeting white s queen?

[@edgarlopez6019]

Que jugador era capablanca ....

[@markchawndal3623]

You're awesome

[@raedshaheen2009]

Capablanca

[@OmaAlkebulan-grace]

❤😂😅 I studied him and books on him in 1998, he's amazing 👏 with Rooks.

[@nathansweetman5101]

The greater french defense player soon?

[@ChampagneFrost]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@israelquiroz7245]

I don’t know… maybe it’s just me and hindsight being 20/20 but compared to other analysis it feels like Capablanca was facing weaker opponents. As far as the opponents others faced.

[@dolphin8377]

nice

Old green eyes hey😊

[@tusharawasthi7940]

[@narcisovillanueva4283]

Woww!

[@shivaji856]

Why chess is so famous? People love to watch two parties quarrelling?

[@raved_al2828]

It's really exciting due to how many things could happen. Every game is new, which is why it's famous.

[@joed.828]

Yes. Almost all sports have two parties quarrelling 😅

[@LivLuvCheeze]

isnt that what most sports are-
