Capa was the one that showed that opposite color bishops do not automatically mean draw, he was also a pioneer in minority pawn attacks, his middle game was crisp direct and clear always with a plan and his endgame magical all that over one hundred years ago thus without computer help. Carlsen a super GM in it's own right has built on Capa's style, actually nothing new as far as chess styles has come after the 60s Computer is killing creativity, it's all about memorizing now, with a few exceptions games are not as beautiful nowadays, i recommend Capa vs Corzo i think Habana 1901 Capa was 12 years old beautiful game played in classical time but the time Capa used for the entire game was just minutes!!! What a truly awesome player he was!!!

Capa Tartakower, New York 1924. An all-time classic rook endgame.

Capablanca's endgame technique was truly remarkable, and it has significantly influenced the play of chess grandmasters like Karpov and Carlsen, who have both drawn considerable insights from his approach to endgames. However, the pronunciation of his opponent name is "Ianovski"

His strength was endgame and his weakness was not to study opening theory. I think players like Fischer, Tal, Korchnoi, Petrosian, Karpov would have dominated him. He lacked real opponents in his timeline

I know many of you would not agree but for me, Capa could challenge the place of Chess GOAT to any other great player in history.

It is a mistake to think positional players are not that good when it comes to tactics on the contrary they are extremely strong tactical players that prefer to play positionally if they were not they would not be able to impose their game, they can see right through the opponent's tactics and put the fire out before it gets going, actually Capa played some beautiful attacking games Thanks for the great coverage

@Osiris26111 ай бұрын
1:48 how about knight f6 check ? after g7 to f6. jump back with the other knight?.. now black has 2 doubled pawns ? only other option for black is king steps forward.. which makes less sense then just capturing the knight... what am i missing here ? + the 2 pawns would be issolated pawns. queens would come of the board and white would lose castle.. but isnt that playable?..
@chessdawg11 ай бұрын
That is an interesting idea, although I am not sure why queens would come off or how white would lose the right to castle. My only concern would be if black could use the open g-file to attack. But is definitely a move worth looking at.

Love the content. I needed a change up from Levy and Hikaru. Most of the time i would prefer to watch your videos. Levy has too much of his personality for myself at least sometimes. And Hikaru makes me cringe alittle bit once in awhile. Your content is solid ( @ least for me) . I enjoy your content over theirs, when i want to relax and hear some str8 forward chess videos.. its hard to describe, but its the most relaxing chess content on youtube that i have found, so thank you.

He actually got his third norm over a year ago. But there was some technicality with FIDE requiring a fourth norm. He also needs a FIDE rating of 2400 and it is 2280 currently.

@jrousselle782811 ай бұрын
If Janowski had played 31... a5 instead of Re5, he would have had counterplay. Re5 is a mistake. Yes, this was a great game by Capablanca, but had Janowski played 31... a5, this video might not have been made.

Capablanca was probably the greatest talent ever along with Fisher but cant be the greatest due to his laziness, hard work always beat talent when talent doesn't work hard. Still Capa is one of the best of all time.
