Following the successes in international tournaments of Moscow (1925) and Moscow (1935), Nikolai Vasilyevich Krylenko again sought to stun the chess world and the Soviet Union with a third international event between Soviet masters and their foreign counterparts. This time, however, he conceived of a more rigorous format, with the ten players (five Soviets and five foreigners) in a double round robin competition. The lineup was impressive, with Capablanca and Lasker being invited back a third time to compete in Moscow, in addition to the previous year's winners, Botvinnik and Flohr. The tournament was held in Moscow's famous Hall of Columns from May 14 to June 8. Capablanca's near flawless accuracy and superiority in the endgame proved to be instrumental in winning first prize by a full point over the future world champion Botvinnik. Lasker, who had always finished ahead of his successor to the crown in prior tournaments, started out strongly, but at 67 years of age he became fatigued more easily and his performance suffered during the second cycle. The tournament brought immense excitement and interest, both to the citizens of the Soviet Union and to the greater world at large. Capablanca's first place was to be one of the last successes against the Soviet Chess School before the triumph of Robert James Fischer 36 years later. It was also the last hurrah for Krylenko, the founder and organizer of the tournament. He was arrested in January 1938, tried and executed later that year.

[@CJGunner92]

Capablanca made it look so easy. It seems like he always tried to simplify the position and use forcing lines to gain the upper-hand.

[@fredericpelloud7536]

Well said, Daniel! Absolutely correct! No man had, has or will have such a chess understanding! Chess was for Capa a native tongue. This man didn't study chess! He always improvised over the board!... Capablanca : the purest idea of a genius.

You have to give props to Magneto for trying to play against an opponent who can control your mind any way they please

[@UncleDansVintageVinyl]

Lovely game! Capablanca's play was very natural, very smooth--and he prevailed through the one oversight that Eliskases made.

[@nabisco0523]

I just wanna say thanks for all the Capa uploads this week. Before this, you published probably 3 or 4 total games of his on your channel, and all of them losses as far as I remember. I been subbed to you since 5k bro it’s crazy how much you’ve grown.

[@Dark_Voice]

Well welcome to our Lasker group except we dont have wins. Its either his resigning vs Capablanca or him vs the windmills etc.

Forgot to turn my volume down and the "Hello Everyone" is still haunting my head now

[@black350Z]

I really like the "pause the video and analyze the move" parts of each review. Obviously, one can pause the video at anytime and do this, but not all moves are pivotal. The way you point out a pivotal point in the game and then give the viewer an opportunity to solve the position is great. It really makes it an interactive experience, draws the viewer in, and lets you teach chess principles to a broad audience. Great stuff!

[@MrKayDeeJay]

Very creative photo challenge, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender

Wow! Another photo challenge that I managed to figure out! It is from the movie X-Men First Class (2011). This particular scene is when they were students and close friends, before their rivalry, and before the X-Men were formed. On the left is Charles Xavier (future Professor X), played by James McAvoy, on the right is Erik Lehnsherr (future Magneto), played by Michael Fassbender.

In the year of 1939 Eliskases played a match against GM Bogoljubov for the title of "Absolute Champion of the Great Germany", and Eliskases won easily. For results like this Eliskases was cosidered a candidate for World Chess Champion.

Very cool game! Interesting how both the world champion (Euwe, Dutch) and the former world champion (Alekhine, representing France by then) were not playing in the tournament, I feel like they could have definitely helped crush the Soviet field. #suggestion are there any games between Alekhine and Botvinnik? It would be a nice cross generational clash!

[@davidc5191]

26. h4 doesn't actually stop ...g5 since after 27. hg, hg, White's pawn on f4 is pinned. But I assume White can simply reinforce the f4 pawn with Rcf3. And likewise 29. Rcf3 doesn't stop g5 either, but if Black does play it, it just results in a trade of all the Rooks and a more likely drawn position.
