I do need to make a correction. The story is correct, but the game is not. This game was played at St. Petersburg in 1914. However, my description of what happened at San Sebastien in 1911 is correct.
It's San Sebastian* by the way. Love your videos.
Capablanca played the Ruy Lopez and won brilliant not Queen Gambit Declined in 1911
Gotcha. In thought my memory was slipping didn't remember it being the one played at S.S. I've been telling people to check your channel out. Good job you've helped myself and others to get better. Sorry for my long stories.
You might have also mentioned that Bernstein never beat Capablanca in 4 attempts. His record was 0 Wins, 3 Losses, and 1 Draw. Clearly a case of good GM vs. World Title Candidate.
Very unlike other games from Capablanca. It was attack attack attack. Loved it
He took that insult personally and said fine ill show you my Tal side
Thanks for the background story. This style of analysis is much better in my opinion, a bit of humor as the underdog crushed the proud player.
The San Sebastian Tournament of 1911.
The conditions of this tournament made it the best that could be had. It was limited to those players who had won at least two third prizes in previous first-class inter¬ national tournaments. An exception was made with respect to me,. because of my victory over Marshall. Some of the masters objected to my entry before this clause was known. One of them was Dr. Bernstein. I had the good fortune to play him in the first round, and beat him in such fashion as to obtain the Rothschild prize for the most brilliant game of the tournament. Before this game the strongest of the masters looked upon me as an easy prey to their wiles ; but, after it, the feeling changed to something more akin to awe than anything else ; at least, a profound feeling of respect for my ability remained throughout the rest of the contest.
Love this description of what actually happened at the tournament.
I love underdogs - who become top dogs. Rather like the story of Chessdawg, in the chess world, I hope!
@@altonbrekand Capablanca eventually won the tournament ahead of Rubinstein (only player to beat Capablanca but also drew 10 of 15 games )
@@FenceThis Thanks for the info.
capablanca is remembered as a grand strategist, but here we see his tactical brilliance
Merciless punishment for poor old Bernstein. “ Y'all don’t diss the man dudes “, as they all used to say back then I believe.
Having seen the Marshall match, I find it hard to believe that the other masters felt that Capablanca was beneath them. More likely they felt that he would be highly placed and deprive some of them of prize money.
Also, Capa won the brilliancy prize for this game...
This is not tipical Capablanca's game. He suprised me with brutal attack.
One is still lucky to get a stalemate or draw, even when not playing against him.
What a game! Thank you for sharing and telling the story.
Wow, what a brilliant resourceful attack!
1911? Capablanca was only 22 years of age!
Being taken to the wood shed by what was considered a little kid was still unknown back then.
Ouch!
Magnifique !
Merci beaucoup Chessdawg😉😉😉
Thanks brother for sharing this capablanca's brilliant game
I love this game and backstory behind it
Thnaks, from Malaga, spain
This is a great channel.
amazing game ty for sharing
Hi Sir, I love your videos so much and I learned a lot from them. Thank you so much!
After seeing this game I understand Bobby Fischer liked Capa's playing style : it is so efficient !
Indeed a historical game embellished with your explanations, thanks for sharing.
Brilliant! 😊
Great game, thank you for the video! Actually, this game is from the St-Petersburg tournament 1914, and Bernstein has already suffered a couple loss against the Cuban maestro and surely respected him. The game from San Sebastian is also classic one, Capa played with white pieces and destroyed Bernstein in Ruy Lopes.
You are correct!
Bernstein plays like a detective whereas Cabablanca the master safe cracker.
Capablanca went on to win this tournament 0.5 ahead of Rubinstein, whom was the only one to defeat Capablanca. For his win against Bernstein, Capablanca received the brilliancy prize sponsored by Baron Von Rothschild
I just love how J.R.C's pieces are always on the square best to maximise the opponents anxiety. Just the sweetest music being played.. I wonder at what move did the Dr. realise the hopelesness of his situation?
Thanks!
I like your channel. Great game, great story.
Phenomenal!
I'll take a game like this with commentary like yours over a brilliant Morphy miniature any day. There are so many ideas in this game, it bears watching at least three times. The Morphy miniature is an art masterpiece, this is an instruction manual.
One does not simply piss off the Great Cuban
“And sending a message to his detractor.. 5:45”
6:33. It's important to go over the slew of tactical variations of why the knight on c8 can't be taken. It's enprise three different ways and all of them lose.
Quite a great game, not quite sure where Bernstein went wrong, but Capablanca was very forceful indeed. I wonder about Bernstein’s reaction to this game, and towards Capablanca after that tournament.
And Doctor Bernsten realized that he said one word too much
2:41 haha, "a lot of junk in the way"
Thank you, it was extremly interesting! And we will se each other again soon. Take care.
I wonder wha happened the next time they played...
Devil’s Advocate opinion; maybe no disrespect was intended. Bernstein might just be a stickler to the rules and felt it was unfair to make an exception
Very very nice history
Marshall must be laughing at Bernstein
Very instruktive Game. But in 1911 Capa was a young man. His picture is wrong!
A very nice game.
How did Bernstein fare in the rest of that tournament? This is the type of game that would discombobulate most people.
Berstein has the typical attitude of his race.
Bernstein is also known for winning a chess game where his life was literally at stake...
Did Casablanca take a dive against Alekhine?
🙏🏽
In 1911 a new force arrived to the planet : *CAPABLANCA *.... the machine ... Unparalent talent.. precision at the maximum level on the board**. Yes , when the clock is ticking.. . The Goat (my opinion).. and lazy..😂
"Chapeau!" ("Comment?")
6:03 - queen to b3 instead, still threatens checkmate
positionally not good enough
Would be fun if pronounced, "dowg".
When enough people are included in any activity, rudeness is a guarantee because most people are so poorly developed in their character, education or upbringing that they will always say or do something disturbing or offensive.
Aside from GM Bernstein, a good example of a detestable player is GM Kramnik...Always trying lead others to believe other players are cheating by posting their accuracy percentages of their games. Karjakin is also an asshole for obvious reasons. NM Levy Rozman is another one. Though he is obviously one of the most intelligent people out there and one of my favorite celebrities, he manages to always make disturbing or misleading youtube video titles that make my skin feel like it's burning after I remember that it's just a lead conversion tendril, and the video is likely one big pathological lie.
Beautiful game by Capablanca. But, chess is a game of rules. Every player MUST be obedient to those rules. So if the rules of entrance to the tournament have been communicated clearly, and have been agreed upon, then it was wrong to invite Capablanca, I would also argue, that strength of character, forces Capablanca to decline the invitation. Winning proves only that you are the better chess player, but accepting the invitation only proves, if given the opportunity, you would bend the rules for yourself. Morals, virtue and strength of character are more important than winning. Dr.(more important then GM)Bernstein was correct, even though he lost. Great channel though, one of my favorites. Thanks for the hard work. Health and happiness to you and your family.
get a life
Good sir, I see you have elected unsubstantiated disparagement over intellectual retort. Could it be you are unable to engage in actual conversation, with proper grammar, extended vocabulary and the ability to promulgate your ideas, therefore you sink to lowest denominator, and might I add, lazy, ad hominem attacks? I communicated my values and thoughts on a chess game, you chose effeminate emotion and spineless attack. To sink the nail, my life is awesome. Health and happiness to you and yours.
I would love to see a chess game how it was played, instead of all the if he does this then he will do that, and so forth. Just let us see what they did, and your opinion as to why they did it. stop with all the they would haves..... ugh
