    @6:46 I probably just had my best ever calculation of a position here. Im so stoked. I saw the whole sequence of queen sac up to the 2 possible rook & bishop mate lines. (Missed the rook sac idea in the third line), but as a 1300 I've never really calculated this deep with this kind of accuracy. This series is really helping my game, so huge thanks to you.

      The problem is also time. Many players in blitz have to make a move by now and going deep is simply impossible. In a way I think blitz is a bane.

    Nelson, I cannot tell you what an incredible educator you are. I have been methodically going through your ratings climb videos (AverageJoe up to 1100 now) and just absorbing your thought process has raised my level from what was likely 300ish to . . . . well according to my puzzles rating 882 (and climbing). I just defeated 2 1100-ranked players (bots) my last two games, albeit not really great quality. I had one win over a 500 bot that had me at 88% accuracy but my last 2 wins over the 1100 bots were 67 and 61, so not great quality, though I'm improving. I love your channel. It teaches me so much.

    I played OTB with a friend the other day. In the endgame we both had a pawn 2 squares away from queening on opposite sides of the board. His was blocked by my knight and mine was blocked by my own rook. As he maneuvered his rook to take my knight, I maneuvered my king to guard the only 2-move path for his rook to my queening square. I let him take my knight, then sacked my own rook with check. Now my pawn was only 2 moves from queening, his rook was 3 moves away from taking it, and his own pawn was now 3 moves away from queening because his rook was blocking it. Proud moment for my 1000-elo brain.

    Capablanca is simply outstanding. Your narration is insightful as usual. And this book idea is 👍.
    I have actually studied this book with an FM who was my coach. So brought back memories.
    But I don’t think I am fit to play anywhere more than 1300 fide as for one the competition is too tough, and I am very inconsistent and tend to lose key games by either attacking prematurely or getting over defensive. But still that apart I am a big fan of your work. You are so meticulous and put together fine ideas while presenting memorable games like this one.

    White is not "Won" from the starting position. They are just "Better". Engine says the advantage is only 0.5. Black can defend this a lot of the time and they are not even truly down a pawn. They have an extra king side pawn.

      But the problem is that chess knowledge build upon itself.
      Some people think this simple fact diminishes old monsters, but that's not true.
      While tactics are different, if current GMs from today could not outplay a GM from 100 years ago it would mean chess was already solved (at the human level) in Capablanca's time.
      That's not the case.
      Also, even Capablanca managed to win... Well... He is Capablanca so maybe he could get into the right track in the middle game.
      The problem here is that modern GMs would probably go for a drawish line as soon as the game goes south, which is something they would be able to do thanks to superior theory.
