Mato: "Black is.. not resigning! So, Capablanca, instead of giving checkmate in 3 moves, decided to torture his opponent for longer" EPIC commentary Mato.. couldn't stop laughing for like 2 minutes replaying and replaying
great game mato, i cant understand what would compel a player at that level to not castle sooner and develop. i understand if it's done bc they have great attacking going or trap going, but it actually appeared as if he was just over prophylactically.
I think people who play chess are smart enough to know some basic geography, but it is just enjoyable to hear you say it :) I think you should, maybe some young adults or kids are watching your videos too ! Thank you for all your effort, i always try to press on commercials when have time to get you some money, good luck !!
At the end there is 3 different moves to checkmate the opponents king and this made me wonder if there has ever been a game that the record for most possible ways to win on the last move. Could there be a game where there is 5 possible checkmates or more on the last move?
Thanks a lot for these, I like the way you go into different variations "just enough" you don't over do it. Very humorous video I was laughing the whole time "develop the bishop to ummm ... somewhere" hahaha too funny! Keep em coming. Chess the game of the future!
Great vid Mato, to the nimrods complaining about the fact that in THIS video you don't give the name of the country for Buenos Aires, IF YOU DON'T KNOW ALREADY, DON'T PRETEND YOU KNOW CHESS!!!!!!!!!
+Calin: We are dealing with "potential" threats. When a piece is attacking another piece of higher rank, the higher ranked piece must move... (of course not always... but in theory.) Therefore it can be a dreadful surprise "after the smoke has gone..." (read: the pieces in between has left or been captured) to find yourself losing the initiative in an otherwise good position. Another reason is that Rooks are "heavy artillery". They are slow pieces but their lack of speed is made up for by heavy firepower. Therefore you might as well place them with a long term purpose: If things are opened up their tremendous firepower is released... and what could be better than hitting the Queen (or King). The "light artillery" (Nights and Bishops) move much faster so it is more likely that THEY will move before the Queen.
I'm not a very good chess player, but from what I've read and seen through many statistics, the Bird's opening is not very good. It's one of the few openings where black tends to win more than white. By quite a bit as well.
+PairsOfDuals Indeed. You do attempt to control dark squares, but there are also a lot of weaknesses developed early and the midgame structure looks awkward for white. Definitely not something beginners or even intermediate players can handle.
Mifune` Yeah. Opening with your f pawn with either side is a very dangerous and weakening idea (including the Dutch). I don't like the whole idea of opening up your kingside with your very first move of the game lol.
PairsOfDuals But it's fun to be practised in something called "the bird opening". That's the trade-off, risk vs. cool opening label. The same idea with "The Wandering King",sounds pretty amazing but you never want to be caught playing that.
can someone please explain why is it so important to place rook on the same file with the opponent's queen? i hear this a lot in mato's commentaries, but for example in this game when white moves rook to C1, that file is far from being opened, there are also multiple pieces between the rook and the black queen and furthermore, the black queen has options to move from there if she needed to. so what's the purpose of a move like that from white, if it doesn't pose any immediate threat to the queen, a queen which may be long gone from that file until the rook can directly attack her?
I can understand, that peole wants to develop the the pieces to a good places on the bord and ther for waits to the right moment, but why not develop the bishop with capture and place it on the same diagonal as the oponents king, that is unbelevible!
Indeed king took a little walk while that lazy black bishop dozing off comfortably within that castle while the whole place is burning ! What is he thinking?!!
I love when Mato says horse instead of knight :D 3:38
Buenos Aires was mentioned in 5 previous videos.
I don't need to say where city's like London, Moscow and New York are, or should I.

Very entertaining Mato , so much fun to watch and listen to your description , keep up the great work
Thank you
I didn't say because I suppose that everybody knows it.
What an instructive game!
Thank you Mato!

Your vidwos are fantastic,with straddegies & tactics of world class players,for beginners to learn and use

I love Birds opening! It is so dang suprising!
Mato, love your videos, those were some monster knights.
Thanks a lot for these, I like the way you go into different variations "just enough" you don't over do it. Very humorous video I was laughing the whole time "develop the bishop to ummm ... somewhere" hahaha too funny! Keep em coming. Chess the game of the future!
great analysis, Mato
Great game , but club standard defense from Black , was this from a simul ?
i think after 19.Ne6 Rd7 would have been good. there was no need to capture knight on b5 and the knight on e6 will also have to go back.
i like how you describe the chess grandmasters. Then how would you describe Tal?
thank you
"And now there are three different mates (in one)" -- OUCH!
My chess teacher told me about the f4 opening, and that he played that in bullet chess successfully.
at 6:35 the purpose of e6 is not the only to lure the queen to greed but to also protect the black's king escape route d7.
Jose Raúl Capablanca fue un jugador creativo y muy elegante en su juego.
7:37 "The Check-mate Heaven"
That bishop development move, I find it funny, ahahha
Very very beautiful
I just lost a chess game today where I opened with the Bird. I think I'll try modifying this one so that is has more central control.
Great vid Mato, to the nimrods complaining about the fact that in THIS video you don't give the name of the country for Buenos Aires, IF YOU DON'T KNOW ALREADY, DON'T PRETEND YOU KNOW CHESS!!!!!!!!!
Mato i really love your videos
hey Mato, u're principle of chess school, right? i want to attend. is it like what? is it expensive, i mean school fees?
I love birds opening
great stuff thanx
It's good to know that even an entire nation cannot defeat Capablanca.
A bird will do the job
Oh! capablanca played that too

Strategy of chess
I live in a place called Fishponds , I bet you don't know where that is !
King has to go for a little walk :D
A great voice in chess
I think he figured it went without saying.
ha ha : "so king has to go for a litlle walk!" LOL Mato
instead of N*
Nice video mato :)
Amazing knight manuevers I must say
Was he from Mississippi? Or the Appalachians??
Nd6 is also mate
hmmmmmm ... Mato played a move & the board resigned
odlična igra Mato Capablanca je stvarno dobar .......
is this opening any good

even that, you should say it to not lose the usage :)
a lot of people in the USA, don't even know where Canada is.
It's sad

white played a move and Black resigned.
I don't like playing against Bird's opening, I always lose against it :(.
It seems to have so many strong points.
Mato, in 10 games, who wins the match, tal or capa?
i think tal would destroy capa,due to different styles cappa would close the position,and tal would break it open with queen sacrifice hehehe
wow
that is agreat video mato thanks
Dallas, Texas
In fact there's a joke here in Brazil that some foreign think that Buenos Aires is our capital. A lot of people don't know brazilian capital! :)
Rio de jeneiro i know that since 11 years old
Bring more tal games :)
i always play froms gambit against birds opening
You high?
And in the above example it is clear that White wants to attack along the c-file. Often if not always you want a Rook at the bottom of your attack.
Where is Israel? :D
Very funny guy!!😂
Israel was one friend of Capablanca, he was one player chess...
@iPhoneVsBlackBerry general knowledge can be very useful,, i disagree with your comment. Just saying :)
Я увидел 4 неправильных хода Капабланки. Он играл на уровне 1взрослого разряда.
So many excruciating pins at the end! It must have felt like pins and needles.
Just kidding. ;)
Gosh that was torture to watch at the end. Eats you up slowly =(
I met an American once he thought Australia was Austria lol
I don't know why you did not say it, but Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina.
Wanna bet?
Afri Afri Afri ... Argentina
The black made deadly mistake by not develope his black bishop.
Correct and got stucked
the opponent was weak :(
Indeed king took a little walk while that lazy black bishop dozing off comfortably within that castle while the whole place is burning ! What is he thinking?!!
in 1914 that was called palestinia not israel for your information
lol that's the person's name, not the place it was played in XD
If the whole world didn't win Carlsen, how the hell suppose a nation win Capablanca?!
Buenos Aires isn't the capital city of Argentina :DDDD, is Israel
who cares wheres Bueno Aires is (been there few times) im here for chess, not for geography lesson
Pawn h3!
Ah, no.
Actually, I don't think IQ has much to do with how educated a person is.
RUSSIANZ CALL BISHOP "SLON" = ELEPHANT.. HORSE AN BLACK ELEPHANT IS NOT DEVELOPING...)
that's interesting. In German language it is called "Läufer" which literally translated means "runner", somebody who is running.
Andreas Hoppe In Hebrew it's called runner too.
Also the Turkish people call it "fil"=elephant too :-)
AL-FILI HINDUSTON AZ SHAHRE SHIROZE IRON...
Leone Verte In italian we call it Alfiere which means runner
But maybe George W. Bush is watching.
LOL xD
hahahaha
capa decided to torture israel finally hahaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nice joke mato!!!
AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA/.......HHHHOOOORRRRZZZZZZ)) horse in front of kingz nouze))) XoRZ)
All these white horse problems man....
