Just wanted to say I've been playing chess a lot more recently after subbing to your channel. I finally was able to solve my first question instead of just enjoying the show. Thanks man
Thank you for beginning this series. It is a great relief after the chaos of the recent blitz championship and the tedium of the engine-generated draws that characterized the WC match. Nice to get back to humans playing humans at a civilized pace with sheer human ingenuity.
Getting 6 A-pawns requires white to capture literally all 15 of black's pieces using pawns. Black also needs to promote at least 3 pawns first, just so they can be moved to the right places to be captured. This position was reached by Lasker vs Steinitz in Moscow in ... just kidding, we have a completely new position on the board.
Well, it's geometry. You start with one a-pawn so you would need 5 more of them. Since pawns won't ever toch the first rank and in this case they also won't touch the eighth rank, you have a perfect triangle: a3, a7, e3. The area of that triangle is 15 squares: The squares in which black pieces would have to be sacrificed
This is cleverly figured out! :) Couldn't black also capture some of white's pieces and the two extra pawns to move their pawns over? If you moved f, g, and h pawns 4 ranks left this would work, but that is too many of whites pieces (7+2 pawns); at a minimum it might be sensible to move the f pawn to the d rank this way, and let the g and h pawns promote. :p
@@NWRIBronco6 Ah yes, this would work in principle. However, I didn't consider it because my chess skills are so elite that no one ever captures any of my pieces. I play gambits, but strictly only the declined variants.
Really enjoying this capablanca series more than i thought i would! I voted for the carlsen vs anand rematch but im definately enjoying this much more! Thanks for the content agadmator, very well put together as always.
You know, Capa at his age just pushed pawns and pieces to squares which made sense for him. Makes you admire how natural his moves were at that age and how he didn't know(or care) about Opening theory
When you're done with this series, condense the main points into a 20 minute video and give it a mass appeal title like "12 year old chess prodigy defeats grand master with queen sacrifice." Your loyal subs will understand. Grow the channel!
Capablanca, playin' d4 before it was cool, sending all of them to school, making everyone a fool. Capablanca, destroying at his youth, his process so smooth, has nothin' more to prove. Capablanca, way better than me, calculates further than people can see, someone who I can never be. tl;dr I suck

I first saw this game when I was 8 and reading a chess magazine which was as old as myself. I was totally shocked and fascinated by Capa's move Qxb5. What a wonderful memory.
This channel is so chill. Agad's small commentary mistakes like "King to H... here", with the non-aggresive community, all the excellent subscribers and insider jokes. I mean.. I love it!
3:36 "So, here, Juan Corzo, instead of Ke4, goes Kg4, already looking for adventure." It's these smooth and folksy descriptions of games that are why agadmator's channel just took off and is so much better than any other chess channel on TH-cam or anywhere else!
Finally my bedtime story. I can go to sleep now... Can’t live without it as I really am an excellent subscriber. Oh, and thank you, Antonio, I simply love THAT chess...
#suggestion Really glad you're covering this saga, and I'd love to see your analysis of Reti vs Capablanca (1924) which ended Capa's 8 year undefeated streak
after tal series, this one is my fav so far. I love the stories. #suggestion do you have any interviews or quotes from chess players of that time on capablanca while he was a kid. Like, how did they describe him?
First comment to your videos. Great job mate! And well after playing chess as kid with my dad, passion reemerged. Now I'm becoming addict! Playing on lichess too, which too is addictive! Rating 900-950... not a real genious I'd say! :D
At 3:15 is there anything particularly wrong with capturing with the D4 pawn instead of the F4 pawn? The only move I see that might make F4 favorable is that it means black cant push D4 themselves but at the same time that means the knight is stuck watching blacks new D4 pawn and it would probably fall if you pressure the knight. So is either side capturing here acceptable or is there a specific line that makes F4 capturing favorable? Assuming if Qb6+ king simply moves to g2 or h1 and plays on
at 8:48 i think there's a good in between move where instead of capturing the rook and promoting the pawn, first with the bishop capture the rook that is pinned and after black defends promote the pawn on f7 by capturing the other rook leaving u with a queen, knight and rook (white) vs a queen (black)
Could I make a suggestion? Would it be possible to have the +/- for how much material each player has visible, maybe above and below their respective pictures? I just find it easier to see who’s got what when the position gets complicated.
@Steve Brown Well technically yes because Capa learned theory as he played games but also I think he did not explicitly study opening theory while he was a child. The point could also be made that if you study your games looking for ways you could have played better or if your ideas were sound then indirectly you are studying opening theory.
did capablanca had any sort of practice prior to this match up? if yes how many years? if no, like he played usual... but It's his first match up between rated player then how did he win even a single game? & after this match up did capablanca continued playing chess regularly? like participating in tournaments...
I like your videos, even though I don’t play chess. I love the commentary and graphics of your videos, they are easily the best. I especially like the critical moments when you talk about the impending great move and challenge the viewer to pause the video and figure it out. This is why I watch your videos. The hypothetical great moves you occasionally ask me to pause the video for fall flat. I always end the video when you ask the viewer to pause the video to guess the move that wasn’t played... but which you determine to be best. I say this because they are typically done at moments when there are too many pieces on the board for me to really care, and because there isn’t a master chess player counter acting your moves... it’s just your hypothetical counters. Even still, excellent videos all around.

Brilliant game Agad, thanks for sharing...
Cool hidden tactic from b2 to h8, hidden diagonal
at 8:48 i think there's a good in between move where instead of capturing the rook and promoting the pawn, first with the bishop capture the rook that is pinned and after black defends promote the pawn on f7 by capturing the other rook leaving u with a queen, knight and rook (white) vs a queen (black)
These videos make my weekend.

You are the evergreen chess content creator :-)

The point could also be made that if you study your games looking for ways you could have played better or if your ideas were sound then indirectly you are studying opening theory.
Very instructive game! Great stuff
At the end, if the white pawn on A3 survives, won't it end up on the B file because it would have survived by capturing the black's B pawn?
These videos are great!!
Certainly the "wall" theme was more interesting than the extra knight final you get after Nh4 and Qf1

Am I mising something at 15:15? It seems to me that Corzo lost because he has no move? please correct me if I am wrong
Having no move, while not being in check, is a stalemate. And stalemate counts as a draw
