Agadmator, I REALLY enjoy the content of your channel. I've been following you for over a year, and I'm LOVING the education you give us. Chess history, chess theory, chess strategy, important games, important events, the career of important players, and even important computer advancements. Thank you. Excellent channel.
The picture of alekhine and capablanca are of this match...if you look at the board behind them its the position where alekhine resigned... Mind blowing Isn't it?🔥
When capa is still not part of the top players in the world, he relies on general opening principles. Capa told that he only give chess opening a more serious study when is he is already one of the top players in the world.
Once again, a masterful job of annotating. Agadmator is the best. His analysis is thorough without being heavy-handed, fun without being flip. Keep up the good work.

Hard to see alekhine being so weak as his later years he was such an amazing tactician and attacker....but then again capablanca here was at his best while alekhine is just starting his tournament years
Wow!!!! Excellent coverage. Capablanca is really a stratigical genius. This definitely 👌should be hashtaged as an example of exploiting dark square weaknesses Thank you Antonio (aka Agadmator).
First time in an agadmator's video that I find more than one puzzles! Although the last mate did give me considerable time. At first, I thought something like Rf4 has the solution, but I couldn't find the mate. But after some time, I saw that all f file squares are forbidden for the black king even without the rook, which meant that the rook could actually move to the g file. After that, the solution became obvious. Nice video, I really enjoyed the game. Capablanca's games are always very pleasant to watch.
Before I carry on with the video I just wanna say That Your anaylsis today is insane . I mean ur Analyses are always insane but today is just something else . I swear
Hello, the picture is from that game, if you see there’s is a board hanging and it’s showing a position, if you check this game at the end have the same pieces and same position of the hanging board has .
Agadmator. The picture you showed around 4.08 minutes in Video is exactly this game. Look at the display board behind the players and that was the last position on the board. I took different screen shots and compared.
cant wait for the game that will make capablanca the world champion. I did not had any relation to capablanca before this saga, i didnt even know anything about him, outside of some highlight-games you showed before on this channel, but now i am really hyped for the continiuation.
I love how Agadmator lied that the picture he showed us isn't the game that Capablanca and Alekhine played. He didn't want to spoil the result and make this game very intense for the viewers.
I'm really enjoying this series on Capablanca as he is one of the coolest chess players ever ! Next I would like to see a radical series on Antonio Radic ;)
@@freezatron He rarely reads comments unless you flag with #suggestion. You are basically talking to your self and perhaps a few people who bothered to read your comment, like me.
Perhaps but i was one of the first four to comment and he loved their comments but not mine, perhaps more comments had arrived by the time he got around to reading them, who knows but I reckon it would be an interesting series people would like :)
Not sure if you noticed but the photo you showed of Alekhine and Capablanca playing the game is actually the black and white version of the photo that your headshot of Alekhine is taken from.
Damn my dude !!I was waiting for this upload moment and its 2:28 am here but I knew you'd upload and voila!!! Your videos are becoming night routine for me!

Nah Alekhine outmached capa in total wining Alekhine >> capa All ppl love alekhine style more than boring capa style Also alekhine % ratio of wining >> of capa
@@unknown-unknown69 Ah ok, none of that disputed what I said....in 1913, they weren't that close, Capa was much superior. As for their entire careers, which you want to talk about, both players were brilliant and did of course have contrasting styles. I prefer the precision of Capa and don't care if most people prefer Alekhine or Capa.
I spent an hour trying to find that final mate in three because I figured it was check-check-checkmate and I just could not find anything like that. In every other mate in 3-5 scenario I've come across, it's always been forced checks, so this was a new learning experience for me that it can be check-zugzwang-checkmate. This was the first mate in x that I gave up on. Keep in mind that I only started to go beyond how the pieces move and the few games I've ever played just a couple weeks ago.
#suggestion please show the second game between Capablanca and Alekhine. I have heard Alekhine's name mentioned hundreds of times and there are so few games featuring Alekhine. Your analysis is excellent. When you are finished with the Capablanca series please help develop our vast knowledge of Alekhine.
@@Surr3alll no book specifically on chess openings but I’ve watched tons of videos and play a lot on lichess. I’m about a1650 - 1700 player now. Thx for asking. I like the London system and English opening and the French, Sicilian and grunfeld defense.
Your picture at 4:27 is the same picture as the icon you're showing of Alexander. Looks like somebody went to the trouble of adding the colour after the fact.
This is 1913 and Capablanca plays inexperienced Alekhin. Just 12 years later Capablanca will again visit Russia and face off against 14 years old Misha Botvinnik. Guess who won that encounter?
Still learning, but getting better, much better. I'm starting to see 'and what would white do in this position?" Let's continue to move forward and thank you!
Can we apriceate the fact that agadmator doesnt put ads on his videos

photo at the beginning is the position that alekhine resigned
syrox it’s also his player photo
syrox on the left above the picture of capablanca
yep
exactly the same position
No wonder he looks a bit annoyed in the photo
Capablanca says he didnt know openings but he is always smooth from opening to the end.
When capa is still not part of the top players in the world, he relies on general opening principles. Capa told that he only give chess opening a more serious study when is he is already one of the top players in the world.
Smooth is exactly the word I'd use to describe Capa's style. Another word would be harmonious. Such natural talent, especially in endings.
12:35 "It's a move, but it doesn't work" - every move I make

Every single time i hear you voice, "in the spirit of Mikhail Tal" echoes in my head
Alekhine is one of my favorite players. Coolest name, Coolest chess sequence named after him, most suave picture.
One day, during the Alekhine saga, we will remember this game!
Awesome! Solid video as always, thanks man I'm enjoying the Capablanca saga✌️
One of the most amazing channel I have come across.
You are one of the main reasons I managed to develop my chess playing style.
My thanks, for you have taught me alot Antonio.
Alekhines portrait is from the picture but it colorized. You can see the chessboard at the top right corner. 4:40
Yes please, the two greatest players (in my opinion) playing against each other
"...and that king is a goner." my favorite quote 😂
your russian pronunciation fills me with joy. every time i hear al-leh-kyne i die a little inside :P

Before I carry on with the video I just wanna say That Your anaylsis today is insane . I mean ur Analyses are always insane but today is just something else . I swear
Yeah I was gonna say something similar. That callback to the dark square weaknesses in explaining the mate was really good.

- " We're gonna have pawns for supper, king for dessert... " (Capablanca)
this is the first video i ever was able to find the winning position on when you told us to pause it and look for it
😂 Agadmator really captured Alekhine's hopelessness with his narration.
The photo is a picture of this game! It's after Alekhine has put his king on h3 & Capa played Ng2, the last move of the game.
Capablanca really shows that creativity can be very logical, I love watching him!

Is he a master?

I like that young Alekhine dressed like M. Bison.

Thank you for finding and sharing the character of the world of chess sir.
