To those of you who read the description: You are an excellent subscriber! :)
The St Petersburg Tournament of 1914 featured the joint winners of the 1914 All Russian Championship and players who had won at least one major tournament. There were the veterans Blackburne and Gunsberg, established masters such as Tarrasch, Bernstein, Janowski, Nimzowitsch, Alekhine and Marshall as well as the World Champion Lasker and his two most prominent rivals, Rubinstein and Capablanca.
The tournament was divided into two sections. The first stage from the 21st April to the 6th of May was an all-play-all event with the first five finishers proceeding into the second stage which ran from the 10th to the 22nd of May. This second stage was a double round all-play-all with the scores from the preliminaries being carried over to the final.
Prizes amounted to 1200, 800, 500, 300 and 200 Rubles. Each non-prizewinner received 20 Rubles for every game won and 10 Rubles for every drawn game.
A brilliancy prize was being considered for Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch, 1914 after the 5th round's finish, but more than 2 rounds later, it was awarded a 2nd brilliancy prize as the runner-up to the Capablanca vs O Bernstein, 1914 coup.
The main source for this collection was the St. Petersburg 1914 International Chess Tournament book by Dr Siegbert Tarrasch. ISBN 0-939433-17-6.

I respect Gunsberg because he played the King's Gambit against Capablanca.

[@sambowie4989]

FoxBlade Le Gosu in those days it was considered a very strong opening. I don't get the point.

[@lostblue5651]

​@@sambowie4989 lol you really dont have a clue about that. In those days, King's gambit was not considered "a very strong opening" at all

[@gxtmfa]

@@sambowie4989 Is say it was on its way out at that point. The King’s Gambit is firmly a Romantic Era opening.

[@amritashankar129]

1:54 Conspiracy Theorist Agadmator : The Turk was burned down in 1854 and also Izidor Gunsberg was born in 1854! Is that a coincidence? You know. Hard to say. (Hilarious as ever, Agad :) )

[@randomyoutubehandle1]

A replication of it is in a museum in my city as the tournament my club organizes is even called after the Turk

Started playing chess a few days ago (and I'm now questioning myself why I didnt play chess in my early years..I'm 23! hahaha) and I am now ultra addicted!!, either I'm playing online chess or binge watching your videos.

[@sujoysengupta2734]

@agadmator, I can't thank you enough for your immensely informative videos. I'm a student of literature and I have been hooked on to your channel since you published that poem chess game, about two years later, you continue to increase my knowledge, and I salute you for that, sir.

Good effort from Izi with the KG. I wouldn't mind seeing capa use it! Bc4 line is nice and sharp. I guess this was the era when romance was fading, sadly. And for what? A pawn advantage....

How does the top 5 leaderboard look? How many rounds has been played and how many rounds will be played in total? I liked it when you showed the leaderboard in the last video :)

[@kajetangorski1960]

So, just saying: my dream is an Akiba Rubinstein saga #suggestion

[@goldenknight5146]

10:17 another good move would be to capture white rook with queen, then h1 rook will capture queen. Then capture white pawn with pawn, then f5 rook check to king, then promote the pawn.

[@SquinkyThreepwood]

F5 rook is pinned as the white queen would be checking the black king. Still a horrible position to play though.

[@sleepy314]

3.15: "Capablanca refused any gambit most easily by accepting it" - agadmator

[@zentan-4621]

He says "refutes" and "refuses"

[@beri4138]

Lel good luck accepting the Traxler and surviving Capanoob

[@pazdziochowaty]

@agadmator There was no option of activating the rook (you probably had Rf1+) instead of queening on g1 because the rook on f5 was pinned :)

Respectable game by the Oldie Gunsberg. After Re1 instead of the blunder Rdh1 this could have been hard work for Capablanca.

Thanks for reminding me that one should never play King's Gambit

[@onyonable]

Except if you're Morphy

[@rogerfedererc5315]

You can play and win many games against lower ranked players. The positions under King's gambit have a lot of poison and when studied properly you can win many games at the amateur level

[@danielgautreau161]

Bobby Fischer, as Black, lost a tournament game to Boris Spassky in a King's Gambit, then wrote an article : "The King's Gambit, Busted" for U.S. Chess Life & Review, then opened as White with the King's Gambit in the U.S. Championship, in a crucial game against Larry Evans, which Fischer won. All in the year that he won the U.S. Championship 11-0. (Larry Evans 2nd with 9 1/2 - 1 1/2). Don't ask me to explain this.

[@pyrolr9588]

Ok it's a pretty bad opening, but it was a tactical blunder lost the game for Gunsberg, not the King's gambit.

[@viralchotai6803]

Ok i got it.... Then after black can play Rf2 and king have leave the defense of queen and then black queen will capture the white queen
