The St Petersburg Tournament of 1914 featured the joint winners of the 1914 All Russian Championship and players who had won at least one major tournament. There were the veterans Blackburne and Gunsberg, established masters such as Tarrasch, Bernstein, Janowski, Nimzowitsch, Alekhine and Marshall as well as the World Champion Lasker and his two most prominent rivals, Rubinstein and Capablanca.
The tournament was divided into two sections. The first stage from the 21st April to the 6th of May was an all-play-all event with the first five finishers proceeding into the second stage which ran from the 10th to the 22nd of May. This second stage was a double round all-play-all with the scores from the preliminaries being carried over to the final.
Prizes amounted to 1200, 800, 500, 300 and 200 Rubles. Each non-prizewinner received 20 Rubles for every game won and 10 Rubles for every drawn game.
A brilliancy prize was being considered for Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch, 1914 after the 5th round's finish, but more than 2 rounds later, it was awarded a 2nd brilliancy prize as the runner-up to the Capablanca vs O Bernstein, 1914 coup.
The main source for this collection was the St. Petersburg 1914 International Chess Tournament book by Dr Siegbert Tarrasch. ISBN 0-939433-17-6.

"Known to be one of the better defenders of that age" *plays king e7*
Yea i was like "WTF??" that second before agad sayed "sorry"
Delayed Bongcloud
That move was what I thought and when he moved it I was amazed 🤯
i am interest
I almost spit out my tea when he accidentally moved Ke7 😂
Agadmator was just explaining how Bernstein is a tough defender and then I saw that move, I was like wut?
I thought that's the reason why they gave a brilliancy prize to this game. The Ke7 made me ask "What sorcery is this?!'"
Fabio Müller My false teeth fell out!!!
ke7 ! I started to think it was THE DEFENSE GAME.
I just re watched the first game from fischer vs spasky yesterday and Agad said when fischer trapped his own bishop you must think this is some sorcery and you just doubt everything you ever knew about chess maybe wrong.
When I saw the Ke7!! My instincts where saying “the bongcloud is real” and for a fraction of a second I doubt everything I knew about chess.
"He forgot one thing,that I am Captain Jack Sparrow". . .i died a million deaths lol
2:57
With Capablanca's non-existant knowledge of theory, Ke7 was a move he could not predict, nor prepare for. Outstanding move.
And it was at this position that Capablanca resigned the game
The Cuban Bongcloud
I almost cried when I saw Ke7
Roman Chicken Especially after he said that Bernstein was not one of the better defenders of his time! For half a second, I thought that was the move.
12OclockLow Re-listened. You’re right. Either way, it was perfect. I usually wait much later before bringing my king out.
I love how Antonio never asks one to subscribe to his channel and how he's always so grateful to those that contribute to his channel. I also love how he has grown and how much more enthusiastic/open he's become with his viewers since starting.
Keep doing a good job broski!
Christopher August I think reading the comments helped him improve the videos. I appreciate all content but really appreciate the extra effort he puts in.
Couldn't agree more with you.
I hate when people ask you to subscribe with things like "don't forget to…" even before showing the content of their video.
It's 2019. We know how to subscribe thank you very much. And we will IF we like it. Don't need your reminder.
now 1 million🥳🥳
When you accidentally put the king on e7, I started laughing so hard that my friends looked at me as if I’m a strange person. I guess they don’t understand chess jokes
"He played ke7. And what's the problem here? Well, your king is on e7, but also..."
If you're a fan who randomly returns to watch the Capablanca Saga while having lunch or dinner please like this. Capablanca was a chess God. It's amazing how his lines are the best line suggested by the engines today. Just wow.
Mai abhi khaana khate wqt dekh rha tha 😍
This series is just brilliant! The golden age of Agad.
It's so amazing that most of the moves Capablanca played are top engines moves. The guy was a computer indeed.
Hello Agadmator, my name is Lukas. I am a 15 year old Lithuanian boy and I watch all of your videos. I discovered them this year and they have helped me become the #2 chess player in my national age group. I would like to thank you for making good videos and keep doing it :)
Thank you, good sir :) Will do!
I won the C tournament
This is one of my favourite games of all time. Capa is my hero. Thank you Agadmator for this most excellent series.
This game should be in the list of the most brilliant games in chess history. Probably in the top ten.
Capablanca in this game proved he is a monster. What a vision.
That's why I don't miss one single game from this channel. This Capablanca saga is simply amazing!
2:58 5.Ke7
***In the spirit of mikhail tal***
Lmao!!!
You are an excellent readers of articles on the walls of your hair dresser’s shop.
Lol
A favorite game of mine. Capablanca played very imaginatively
This is the only time I didn't try to find anything. Capablanca is truly amazing!
I did that thing where you find the start but have no idea on the continuation
12:42 - when you’re an engine and you’re analyzing every move
That is why dodo the engine has to keep quiet to go over 2900!
2:57 the delayed bong cloud, boom take that Jose.
Superior opening theory.
"I am captain jack sparrow!" 😂 😂 😂 😂 Unbelievable, that's so funny, I am literally crying
"Capablanca found the best variation over the board" never gets old.
I'm obviously no expert yet, but watching all these Capablanca saga videos has definitely improved my understanding of the QGD without even having to actually sit down and study it. I've been using it pretty successfully in some of my blitz games lately.
an extremely complicated game quite well explained! I can tell you were really excited while commenting the game, especially the last 10 moves or so...that shows your passion for the game and this channel! this must be one of your best videos ever!
Capa was F’n with him chasing his king around the board. He was that brilliant imo.
One of the best games I've watched on this channel!
Agadmator keeps replaying the game for a few more times...yes, it's just brilliant...the rook move was brilliant...so dominating...did I tell you this guy was good? :-)
I should add that I have been regularly rewatching all these wonderful videos. I am like a kid who was never allowed to smoke pot but now can smoke with impunity. Pity one can only thumbs-up a video once.
Truly one of your finest, and contained everything we could hope for and have come to expect from your video analysis! Brilliant and well-timed jokes; entertaining and informative backstory; in-depth insight, all packed into a excellent little bundle. Sometimes, I watch just for the show. You’re the best;
Great! I'm 67 years old and a Croatian whiz-kid is schooling me in Jose Raul Capablanca and Captain Jack Sparrow. My barber had a pic on the wall of Marlon Brando as Don Vito Corleone. I told her, "Give me a Corleone." Best haircut of my life. No chess involved.
"I could ask you to find it(Capablanca's continuation),but first I'll show you the brilliant move..."Delivered with Agadmator's laconic deadpan. Priceless!
capa was genius...yes you can put him in the GOAT competetion
After king to e7 we have a completely new game on our hands. LOL
Hells bells, that Rc1 move by capablanca was a deep one. I could spend my whole life thinking about that position and never see that. I wonder if it's known how long he spent thinking about that move?
Yeah, I mean, that looks like such a quiet move. It is so incredible, so unbelievable. Did he **really** read all the rest of that out? Or did his quiet move simply turn fortunate for him? I suppose he read it out, but that's just god-like. I think that might be the most astonishing chess brilliancy I've every seen.
@@jerel42Me too. Simply incredible.
This is the best channel, congratulations and thanks.
This was the most *brilliant* game Agadmator ever showed us. One *brilliancy* after another, whetever we, excelent subscribers, go.
This game indeed deserves a brilliancy prize, it's just wonderful!
Vast knowledge 0:00
First move 2:15
Find next move 8:40 / 15:11
King e7 2:57
Jack sparrow 4:42
Defeating the person who said you didn't deserve to be there.
Can you imagine how good that felt?
Then to get the Brilliancy award for it? *The Coup de gras.*
It seems to me that whenever Capa met Ossip back then, he always played with more tenacity and vigour to punish Ossip for underestimating him at 1911
Died laughing when he went ke7, freaking hilarious...like it went so well with the "defender" line
Wow. Just wow. Applause from the future.
Agadmator's enthusiasm here is infectious.
excellency prize for the most excellent subscriber
Ke7! outstanding move, what a way to break pinn on queen
Capablanca(jojo pose): I have outsmarted you outsmarting me outsmarting you!
i give you a couple of seconds.. and for those of you who found it, congratulations, you are an excellente King mover 2:49 😅
Around 19:10, Black "played Rook captures F2 for some reason . . ." That's because White, after Rc7, was threatening Rg7 mate (only incidentally attacking the Bishop on a7).
Yeah..you are right!
BRILLIANT!!! Thanks, Antonio.
I'm still cracking up over the Jack Sparrow comment. Not only you make these videos pleasant to watch but you also make us laugh with these tidbits of humor. Bahahaha.
Let's go! I found the brilliant move. I'm an amazing player creating brilliance's wherever I go!
And I found the next one! Even though it was considerably easier than the 1st one! More Brilliance!
This is surely one of your funniest videos. And I haven't seen it all yet
I still cant believe over a 100 years has gone since this game was played
2:56 Bernstein one of the best defenders of the age. Plays Ke7, BAM, impenetrable defence.
No chess articles on the wall? Change hair dressers now.
They probably just snipped them out.......
Supply the hairdresser with pictures of Chucky to impress the customers' girlfriends.
Sharp move: Rc1 ... your understanding of the tactic was excellent. When Capa seizes an opportunity he is unstoppable.
"Bernstein was known to be one of the better defenders of that age" plays king to E7
Capablanca is just amazing
I just want to say that I am also enjoying your commentary! It's good to find out the strategy behind GM moves. And I don't know what's wrong with you guys. I thought Ke7 was a brilliant move!....:)
Ke7 had me rolling xD
That Black King on G4 in the endgame looks so hilariously out of place.
Like a deer in headlights.
"...one of the better defenders of that age."
>Proceeds to Ke7
Almost killed me
It’s easy to see why Fischer was in awe of Capablanca.
Magnificent Game Casablanca has like the best games great moves Thanks for the Game Agadmator
Loving the capablanca Saga, keep it up
Was capablanca feeling okay during this tournament? I can't remember if you mentioned it 😂 jk love your videos so much
He was not feeling well because of all that opening theory he was missing
What? Did Capa win a brilliancy prize against Ossip twice?! That's such a kick in the nuts
It's too bad Morphy & Capablanca weren't contemporaries...It would have been a great rivalry!
Your very name is clickbait, agadmator.
Everytime I see it, my motor neurones work of their own accord, compelling me to click.
4:42
You will not regret checking it out. Thank me later.
Agadmator: He was known to be one of the better defenders of that age.
*moves King*
great video, thank you for your efforts.
Great game and video. I agree that it is a brilliant game, but the rook to C1 move is a standard move in the Queens gambit declined opening. That is where I always try to put my rook in that opening and I am certainly no expert.
When agadmator says your going to enjoy it, your going to enjoy it
Antonio by watching your hair it wasn't a hairdresser but a barber who take care of you.
What a brilliancy!
This was so much fun to watch!
I came to rewatch this as soon as i finished reading about the combination that started at move 21 ( Bh4 ) from Capa’s Chess Fundamentals, interesting that he mentiones Nxe5 would win the game, but he looked for ( complications and their beauties )
13:00 take that doctor Tarrasch (for a second time)
Agadmator : Bernstein is a good defender
Ke7
Me : WTF 😂😂
2:57 I've spilled my drink there
Bernstein goes for an ancient bong cloud against Capablanca at 2:58
I lost my ,,tempi" :))
Pretty happy i found the B4 move and also the Bishop captures! im not very good at chess either but that made me feel good
I thought he really played ke7 for a moment, my eyes started to shine, my lips started to shake and a rainbow came from my nostrils. I'm disappointed so bad.
In 9:27, when you say Ke3 would just delay Capablanca’s idea because white would have to take the knight, wouldn’t this take just lead to a fork when black goes Bxe3??? Wouldn’t whites best move be Kd5 after black moves Ke3???? Thank you for the video! Just a little confused
@ 17:17 After H5-G4 (black king captures pawn), white should push F3 check ... black king is caught in a mating net, no matter which way he tries to escape: G3 or G4 checkmate is coming.
#suggestion Well, I hate to sound like a broken record, but now game #80 of Leela vs. Stockfish (yet another victory for Stockfish) is just INCREDIBLE. It's pretty crazy... for quite a significant part of the game (including the final position) there are 3 queens running around on the board!
Ouf, I almost thought this was an @agadmatorless night ! 😁
- " Never forget to play ROOK SEE ONE ! " (Capablanca, seeing one win...)
4:55 That Rook c1 what an amazing move 👏
"I'm not gonna say anything, but... you're gonna enjoy"
That sounds like something one would love to hear before sex 😂😁 2:11
King E7, and now we have a game never played before.
Bernstien was known to be a good defender...
Proceeds to play Ke7
Me realizing I've been defending wrong all this while
Incredible game, simply wonderful :D
19:03 you forgot to mention :
...Bxe3 and Rg7 check mate ( the reason of g4+ and Rc7 is the double threat; bishop or checkmate ) ofc game was finished but one more last trick from him.
#suggestion Game 1 of Example Games from "My System" Nimzowitsch vs Alapin....Bishop 'travels by express!'.
I like the *CUP* in the thumbnail 🏆
Ke7 move is the greatest king sacrifice that i laugh so hard
Wow! What a game!
I kinda feel like getting a pinned tweet on this channel makes you a celebrity
