    U r the diamond of the chess community. Keep on shining. Besides, today I saw an announcement at chess.com about the forthcoming tournament with pictures of 11 participants. I recognised 10 of them, all thanks to the vast knowledge from Agadmator. Also, I played a game yesterday at lichess classical shield arena vs opponent similar to my rating (around 1700) and he resigned after 17. move, I played Budapest gambit and after looking analysis I proudly realised I played almost every move recommended by stalkfish 10. I breakthrough 2000 at puzzles and the most of my personal improvement is thanks to the Agadmator chess channel. I started to play and learn chess 10 months ago. Before that time I hadn't played chess since my childhood and have heard only about Fisher, Karpov and Kasparov. Now I have a great hobby and much more joy in everyday life.

    @davidc5191 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Regarding the second point of the terms of the match, Lasker actually did use the 2-point requirement to win in a match against him in 1910 against Carl Schlechter (who notably had the reputation of being a drawing master). Regarding point 9, Capablanca's proposal of 15 moves/hr and 6 hours of play would result in a 15 moves played by both sides in two hours, if each side uses it's full time allotment, or 45 moves in 6 hours, not the 90 moves you mentioned (but since it's unlikely that you'd use up your full hour per 15 moves, it's more likely that 50 moves can be made in 6 hours, or at least until he first adjournment).

    Regarding the time required for notice: in today's age it's easy to forget, there were no commercial flights, particularly across the ocean, so just to travel to E.g., Germany would be both expensive and take numerous days to arrive. Changing locale could be a complex affair for Capablanca to arrange.
