Capablanca's Legendary 12-Move Combination

[@Lunaire.-]

Capablanca is so powerful he cannot be contained to a single saga.

[@niagra898]

Good 1 👍👍

[@kong-ba-pao]

Capablanca is so powerful that he is both at the board and in the crowd at the same time. (seriously, look at the photo)

[@TheHawk007]

True!

[@ahitler5592]

Capablanca is so powerful he brought his pregnant mother to the hospital when he was 9 months baby . Oh that's Chuck Norris

[@aesaehttr]

Capablanca is at least 9000

[@Dg2020]

Capablanca is an absolute legend for finding that combo alone

[@ramachandra776]

"Who are you going to trust - the engine or Capablanca" . Well , if we had any doubts about whom to trust , Capablanca dispelled it with the very next move (b4) 😁 .

Just love this quote by Agadmator! I even loved that he didn't answer the question. Vintage Agad!

[@a.m.armstrong8354]

@@TalEl59 The unanswerable question..

[@ells101]

Capablanca is one of those greats in history who seems almost inhuman or otherworldly in their understanding of the game. Truly an immortal player, with many immortal games.

[@snowsadlion]

"Nowadays we sit in front of our screens and enjoy a bullet game" :D Or we can sit and enjoy Agad's dry humour combined with excellent chess analysis.

[@BlazeSLK]

As well as bots it would seem

[@delperalfanjul]

I was waiting for a new Capablanca video in order to share with you a little story about him. I don't think Agad will see it, let alone read it, but I hope you like it. My great grandmother once played a chess game against him and won. Apparently, Capablanca and my great grandfather were friends, so one day he was visiting their house and saw a chess board there. Intrigued, he asked who played chess and was told that it was my great grandmother. So, while they were waiting for my great grandfather to get ready to leave together, they decided to play a game. Not a very serious one I presume but he lost. Funny thing is that he refused to ever again set foot in my great grandparents' house since it was "the house of a witch" in his own words. Unfortunately, I don't know the details of the game itself (and I personally suspect that he went easy on her or underestimated her, at least initially) but I find the story rather amusing nonetheless.

[@talphazero1036]

Wasn't Capablanca one those old chess players that was a dick, and thought of themselves as some otherworldly beings for being good at the game and felt insulted to loss to people? Or maybe I'm thinking of Rubenstein ¯\_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯?

[@delperalfanjul]

@@talphazero1036 Well maybe you are right. I really don't know much about him outside his games. Certainly, if what you say is true it appears to agree with what I tell in my story. Also, my great grandmother wasn't that kind herself either so I can easily see both of them clashing after such an innocuous incident.

[@augustedupin9576]

@@talphazero1036 i think you are talking about Steinitz who claimed he had played and defeated god at chess. Capablanca definitely had a large ego but he always admitted his mistakes. He was the first person to include his losses in his own book. And once he said something like, it takes a knock on the head to snap back to senses admitting that he is overconfident at times.

Finally! Capablanca, again! Please do more videos on Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine and their great contemporaries.

[@talphazero1036]

A mini Rubenstein saga would be nice, or even Pillsbury. The guys you listed are all definitely in the top 40 chess players of all time(not sure Steinitz would hold up as well as the others) so they'll always get the praise they deserve, so it would be nice to get some spotlight on the other greats of their time.

[@sanelprtenjaca9147]

@@talphazero1036 Top 40? This guys are top 10, lol. In my opinion, Carlsen can't be compared with Lasker for instance. Lasker hanged out with Einstein. Chess was different thing back then.

[@Dalek7823]

@@sanelprtenjaca9147 Indeed. In fact, Emanuel Lasker is perhaps the strongest world champion of all time for me, not just top 10. He was in a greatly weakened elderly state when Capablanca eventually won against him after 27 whole years as world champion and can't be judged solely on that match.

[@shoaibrehman9927]

Capablana was a great worldchampion... and so decent with his thoughts

[@lenherbert492]

thank you for the early Christmas present Antonio, one can't get enough of Capablanca, more please

[@lanceflair9864]

back with the good stuff. I personally find the games of the old masters more inspirational, but maybe thats just me.

[@robertr7923]

me too. 16 moves deep theoretical lines of the ruy lopez are boring. These old game are much wilder.

[@KingKobra98]

I just wanted to say thanks for going over the lines. I’m a new player but I learn quickly. The more lines you go over the more it improves my game overall and keeps me from completely blundering sometimes. Thanks to you my mid game is incredible, although my end game suffers greatly. Thanks for getting me into chess.

[@vrishankpandey8537]

Finding that 12 move combination must have not been easy as Chess does require a lot of memory, the way Capablanca trapped Czerniak's Queen just makes him a legend of Chess!

[@thoughtsoutloud6685]

I watch these games from your analysis Anthonio, and I feel very unknowledgeable. It is truly humbling to watch legends play!

[@leosampaio4695]

Hello, agadmator. I am a writer from Brazil and I would like to point out the quotation mark you used on the quote above the board. On Brazil (and I think it is global) we use double quotation marks ( "" ) to quote, but when there is a quote inside a quote we use only one quotation mark ( ' ). That means the correct writing should be "I can see the headlines: 'Capablanca's is getting old'". Thank you for all your dedication on producing awsome videos!

[@colinpetersen1173]

An interesting note on controlling space - after b4 Capablanca is attacking every single square on both the 4th and 5th ranks. Obviously black was attacking a lot of the squares too so it wasn't complete control but it was a huge amount of pressure across the whole centre of the board

[@kirby7489]

Playing through these older games by the great masters are the best way for the average club player to improve.

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Interesting how g4 was the impressive unexpected move of this game, yet the engine said this could ultimately be refuted by ...Rxb4. The further irony is that black actually did take the b4 pawn so you just never really know how to address these pawn pushes unless you calculate perfectly.

Capa is still my choice for greatest of all time. You put every great chess player in a time machine and bring them to the present, all in their primes, and give them as long as they need to learn the evolution the game has undergone, all new opening ides and variations, then put them all in a giant tournament of individual matches, I say Capablanca would come out on top with Carlsen and Kasparov 2nd and 3rd (either one) and probably Fischer 4th. After 4th place I can't call it.

At 11:20 wouldn't knight to f3 check create a window of escape for the queen by losing some other piece(s) - 3 options move the king in which case queen gets a defended square d2 to move to where knight (at f3) guards her and if knight now captured she can escape... or if white picks up knight by queen then squares open up, and if white picks up knight by bishop then can try and bring rook into game by rook c1 and then if bishop back to e4 then queen captures knight c3 might be a tad bit better? Maybe you'd still lose in a rook and bishop endgame as your passed pawns will go but just a thought...

This game is a Sicilian Alapin by transposition in a line that I lost horribly as black to a well prepared strong player. In this game it is frightening how easily Capablanca caused his opponent to slide into a lost position by playing moves that did not look too strong but actually required exceedingly accurate play to maintain equality.
