Let me be Frank | Capablanca vs Marshall | Game 8

[@brbcrew9957]

Both files are excellently placed on opened rooks

[@alexander7178]

hahaha yes dude

[@FloydMaxwell]

Marshall's counter-attacking when the position seemed hopeless (to me) were quite impressive.

[@danceswithstone]

Yes, cool as a cucumber! Attack is the secret of defense; defense is the planning of an attack. - Sun Tzu.

[@mustaphad1319]

Yea he was known for swindling players outsideof the top 10 GMs with complicated play. Capa was always on guard though

[@greense65]

Agree. Unfortunately for him, he was always just a tempo behind.

[@ekagunadi1934]

In this game, I just realised how powerful Marshall is

[@young_dan_kee]

Couldn’t agree more. He def would have gotten me.

[@JJ-kl7eq]

It’s Marshall’s own version of the Steinitz Defense, taking bits and pieces of lots of variations to make one plan. The Frankensteinitz.

Thankyou Cawlsz very cool

[@timothychan97]

He normally doesn't make such obvious mistakes.. I couldn't help but notice them myself..

[@bogdanlinke67]

if you watch closely, then you will see that on 6:56 black does not only attack the knight but also a rook via diagonal. So technically, it was correct sentense

[@timothychan97]

@@bogdanlinke67 sure, the rook was also attacked, but he highlighted the knight because it was the undefended piece under attack. Black definitely had no intention of capturing the rook.

Damn I love games like these where both players have to defend and attack at the same time on both sides of the board, it makes every move more important and every position more dangerous.

Amazing! Marshal delays development by one move and the attack is on. From that point on he is playing defense with no chance of an attack( although he did try ). Underscores the importance of development.

Wow what an incredible game . That was some brilliant offense from Casablanca and as well countering Marshall’s attempts in the endgame Fantastic Thanks Agadmator

Great stuff. Rather more open and entertaining than the recent world championship. Capa must have known the openings better than I do at least!

[@macdondb]

I really like how Capablanca exploits early opening weaknesses. We saw that in game 6 too - bringing the bishop out too far too early in the RL for black ended so badly because Capablanca slowly but surely exploited the problems. Really great critical play, really inspiring

Best chess on you tube even when you call knights bishops. Yes I still love Mato but I must hand it to you. You were born to do this!

[@ekagunadi1934]

I rewatch this saga because capablanca saga hits different

[@karolp3297]

11:55 there was a threat of Qe4 and that's why Capablanca played Kd6 (to protect the pawn) and after rook sacrifice by Marshall and bishop taking rook, the queen was protecting e4 pawn

[@johncater4643]

at 10:36, Rd3 (black Q must move) and then Rf3 is better than Re3 as it does not allow any defence of the black R on f7. Although black loses in any case...

[@baranaru1495]

beautiful game excellent video briliiant community and much love for agadmator ❤️

[@salmarwow]

To be honest, I'm really impressed with Marshall. Sure, he'd lost the game, but it looked that his position was hopeless. Yet, he managed to find quite a number of resources for counter-attack. One small mistake and black would have won. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for us, since it would be a shame not to finish that briliant attack), Capablanca was very precise here :)

[@mounibagha3089]

The speed in which Marshall switched to a deadly attack is mind boggling.

[@Addu7]

At 11:52 you said that there's the threat of Be1 followed by Qf1 but what about the immediate Qe4# ?

[@amnonmeyers6946]

4:33 if pawn to e5 as you say, then Black has pawn to c4, kicking the White Queen off the mating diagonal, so not sure this is the best way to refute castling.

[@joncheskin]

It's weird that Capablanca is playing the best player in the US with no opening theory, and still manages to completely dominate in the opening.

[@scarlofravelli8680]

I've never seen a knight so strong. I mean, it is a rook, a bishop... wow hahahahaha. Amazing game, tho, nicely played by Capablanca, for sure

[@arturmachnicki3579]

[@michalbotor]

the level of chess that these gentlemen have presented in their match is just insane.

[@caballoscuro]

Hello Antonio, I watch all your videos and have done so for a long time now, I notice that often you miss speak when naming the pieces you are pointing to, no big deal, but it happens when you are going fast, perhaps you need to slow down a little and allow your eyes to catch up to your brain. In this video you call a knight a bishop at 4:24 and at another point you call another knight a rook at around 6:54. It happens many many times. Aside from those comments, which might seem critical to you, and your many excellent subscribers, I want to say that I have great admiration for your knowledge, enthusiasm, intelligence and work ethic, you bring a lot of enjoyment to my day and deeper understanding to my love of chess. Good Job! I wish you many more years of success!

At 8:43, When Knight is attacked by pawn, why Knight to f6 is off limit?

[@alfredo8218]

Probably Bxf6 Bxf6 Nd6 is winning.

[@tonyofhousestark1511]

11:55 I think the attacking idea here is actually Q×e4+ and so by playing Nd6 Capa defended that threat.

[@krowa1010]

8:35 i like Bh8- if he takes we get a Rook and attack the bishop, if he doesnt, it makes place for the knight to attack the rook

[@robertphillips2769]

I once checked a book by Marshall out of the little hometown library in Montana, c. 1919, a big thick red book with tons of analysis of the Kings Gambit, Latvian Gambit, Philidor Gambit and more. Probably was worth a few bucks and the librarians didn't even know it. But I always liked Marshall's aggressive intentions at least.

[@brbcrew9957]

6:57 he really attacked the rook

[@Socrates...]

I almost thought that with the 'Let me be Frank' title, you were going to show a Kevin Spacey chess game

[@matey114477]

6:09 was Nf7 also winning easily? Instead of Qg5 Never mind, it was deep into the analysis, wasnt playable because Marshal captured the knight with the rook

[@halt1931]

6:18 What's wrong with Qd7 instead? Then, you have 2 rooks vs a queen and a knight and a pawn, instead of just losing the Queen outright.

[@peanutandbutterdachshund6916]

This got to be one of the biggest beatings that a great player recieved in history. I assume Marshall dad not idea what he was getting into. If we had a modern Capa around Magnus game would rise exponentially . Probably computers agree with most of Capa moves just after the opening.
