  • Featured is a game played in London 1922 by the great José Raúl Capablanca against Eugene Aleksandrovich Znosko-Borovsky. Observe how, at a very early stage, Capablanca provides black with opportunities to create weaknesses within his own camp. Capablanca's patient deployment of his light-squared bishop and lasting tension on d5 lead to the creation of the first of many exploitable holes. Although the game lasts 38 moves, Capablanca manages to obtain a strategically winning position in 20 moves, and promptly takes full advantage of black's irreparable weaknesses on the queenside.

      ​@@Skry1880i wish i could always play like that in every game😂.
      Just casually exhibiting patience, improving pieces, enticing and provoking enemy into making weaknesses, exploiting those weaknesses,
      achieving small advantage from that exploit, win the game by utilizing that advantage. Simple😅
      Very simple strategy, practiced more exclusively today by modern players. The best being Carlsen ,Caruana, and MVL in this style.
      Very simple yet so hard to employ when one is not a good player, like me 😅

    Actually, white is up three pawns at the end not two. Good video but I think you missed several opportunities to point out how black could’ve played much more aggressively. C5 instead of castling for example.

    The secondary benefit of Capa's approach is that his pressure produces no weaknesses on his side so even if a miracle defence is found, Black could only hope for a draw. There is no counterplay.

    If you're playing Mr Znosko-Borovsky, you better bring your A-game.

    Question: You skipped past the trivial (seemingly) recapture 9. ... exd5 but considering the weak c6-pawn, why not play cxd5 instead? The square is still weak but now it's at least void of a pawn. Thanks for the video, very good video and game!

    • @ChessNetwork
      @ChessNetwork  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It relates to white having easier access to c7 with the majors…a knight jump to b5 may also be around the corner. Good question 👍

Are you saying that Alekhine should’ve done the exact same thing as Capa- just not given anyone a match- and so it would be fair he didn’t give a rematch? Capa fans don’t know anything

    @codegeass7162 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why couldn't black have taken with the c pawn instead of leaving it as a weakness? Would the b pawn push be fine then?

    • @billagap3213
      @billagap3213 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You mean on move 9: cxd5 instead of exd5 for black? Because then the bishop's diagonal c8-h3 would be blocked and the only way to develop the bishop would be on b7 (where your own d5 pawn blocks your bishop) or on a6 where you would lose your bishop because of the white bishop controlling this diagonal. Plus the only freeing move you would have is e5 push which would create an isolated queen's pawn (weakness). As capablanca has stated in some of his queen's gambit declined games, if black wishes to develop his c8 bishop to b7, he has to first capture on c4 (and allow white to develop his f1 bishop in one move) so as to avoid all these problems, and then break with c5.
      Sorry for the long answer, hope I helped you.
