Notice what Agad's saying at EXACTLY 19:37, one of the most remarkable coincidences I've ever encountered
It's also remarkable that you noticed that - respect! :-)
Wow, cool. Must be on purpose
That is just sick
I wonder if the universe would implode if Agad would analyze The Wizard of Oz while playing Dark Side of the Moon.
WAO!
Fun fact: Erich Eliskases is the Grandfather of my Doctor, Andreas Eliskases, in Austrian Alps small Town of Jenbach.
Thank You for this video, Andreas will love to see this.
Small world
@@wertyks508 Its larger than you think....
@@blaze1148 quiet
@@blaze1148 Size has nothing to do with the expression.
Nice
Honestly this may be one of agad’s best videos. What an incredible performance by Eliskases
Indeed!. Amazing two end games by Eliskases against two of the best in chess history!
I say, bring on the longer videos!
Agadmator throwing a curveball to the creator of agadmator-library by showing two games in one video
It's how I roll
@@agadmator The way of the Croats!
it actually show that there are two games, but not the years, interesting
@@agadmator You never disappoints ! ;)
I met Eliskases in 1978. He was showing the macht Karpov-Kortchnoi in Córdoba, Argentina. He was a wise man. I have enjoyed his comments very much. Thank you for the video.
Do u perhaps remember his comments?
@@xjjin--6923 Yes, in those days moves arrived by telex. So, in the meantime, he explained the games of match Labourdannais-Mc Donnell. He was a wonderful commentator.
It is important to know these players. They always contribute to classical chess.
The real OGs
@@SAM_UL there is nothing like a chess player at the hight of his/her ability.
Watching Antonio's videos has vastly increased my vast knowledge of chess.
@@jx14aby me too. Our friends at the bar and the library appreciate it as well.
If you have beaten both Capablanca and Fischer you are already a chess immortal yourself.
If he defeated both, Capablanca must of been in his twilight years and his Chess much diminished....his best play was in the 1920's.
@@blaze1148Capablanca in 1937 while clearly past his prime was still an elite player capable of world class play at least sometimes.
CARLSEN BE LIKE : 👋🏻
@@blaze1148 Maybe not at his height - but look at the crosstable 33 minutes into the video. He was still a very formidable opponent
@@blaze1148 Are you serious ? Capa won at Nottingham in 1936 (jointly with Botvonnik) ahead of Alekhine, Lasker, Fine, Euwe (The World Champion at the time !)
This is the first time I did not get bored while watching a 30+ minute video.
.
Thank You for increasing our knowledge, Agad.
_vast_ knowledge
🤣
Wow, Paul Keres had 6 wins in such tough tournament. Absolute monster.
"The Prince of Chess!"
Very good reviews, outstanding even. The knight move at the very end was educational. Spotting the potential fork and back tracking is a mighty fine lesson for all end game players.
The subtle humor is truly delightful. Well done as usual, Agadmator.
The final between Fischer and Eliskases is a real gem, an absolute beauty. Thanks for sharing and best to you.
There is a very interesting anecdote about Eliskases; When the Fischer-Petrosian match was played in Buenos Aires (1970) Eliskases commented and analyzed the games in a room of the San Martín Theater for fans. At one point, regarding the Najdorf variant, someone asked Eliskases (a contemporary of Najdorf and close to him since they both stayed in Argentina after the 1939 Olympiad) about the fierce rivalry that existed in the fifties between this and Reshevsky about who was better, if Najdorf or Reshevsky (it should be noted that both were very complicated and difficult people) Eliskases answered that question: better Reshevsky ... because he lives much further away.
Eliskases published an exhaustive and very interesting work about the 1936 Moscow tournament “How Capablanca won in Moscow 1936”. It has pages and pages of analysis for each game and I think it is the best that has been published about this tournament.
I love your work Antonio. You are truly a magician of presentation and communication ❤️.Keep growing and hoping that you are doing well 🙏.
He is the number 1 for chess analysis. However levy is better if you just want to have a good time.
But like as levy said if you watch him your rating goes down.
No other chess channel comes even close if you want to improve. I seen hikaru and plenty of others and they just aren’t the same
@@Name-ru1ktLevy is an embarrassment
Erich just absolutely manned-up big-time in that endgame against Jose. No engines nor tablebases to bolster one's competencies. It really is a thing of beauty. Still breathtaking today.
This is one of the best videos ever on this channnel tributing the old masters who are unknown atleast for me.
Great work Antonio
Agadmator is the best host on YT for presenting and showing the best and most interesting games, great analysis and added information. A true joy which I've watched for several years.
that colourised board in the thumbnail enticed me to click before i was even ready to watch a game of chess.
Excellent thumbnailing!
Brilliant. Thank you for showing us Erich! It is remarkable, as you say, that he did defeat Capablanca and Fischer! Yes, the war had so many casualties... some more subtle than others.
wow what a player, Erich once again remind us that the endgame is the true phase of chess
Damn, i didn't know that guy, but, he is no joke...
The way he was in control of the board during the whole game, how he managed to start the end game (around/before 8:43) with good enough advantage and the nerves he had during that battle being up a pawn with bishop against bishop...and all of that against a legend like Capablanca... really impressive.
Have you seen game 2?
Yes. Less impressive imo, because less sweat.
He just finds the a4 trick and the little king walk, and then he was winning.
30:46: I was feeling so proud that I had found essentially the same idea by moving N-e4, instead of the correct N-h5, which totally loses because you can control the c1 square by two different options when your N is on f4, but only one option if your N is on f2 -- which the black king will intercept. Chess, you subtle, magnificent beast!
Even better, I found Kd4. c2-Nd5(check). Kb3 Ne2, covering queening square.
Of course I, too, overlooked the subtle detail of how the knight moves.
@@davidschneide5422 lol! That was funny
I enjoyed this longer format very much! I'd love to see more videos with multiple games from lesser known players!
I found that Nh5 move at the last possible moment, as you said, some knight move was the only thing that made any sense, but it's still incredibly difficult to see even with several hints and pausing. What an amazing pair of games, thank you for sharing this.
Agadmator also covered Capablanca in Moscow 1936 a few years ago, where Capa won, so he wasn’t in too bad of form by 1937 (age 49). Plus he won the title by defeating a 53 year old (Lasker), so it’s give and take
Those were two of the best games I have seen for a long time Antonio. Thank you very much.
Brilliant endgame victories against two of the best players in history 🔥
Such a strong player Eliskasses, please show more of his games----
Sounds awesome, 12am in London..coffee time.. ill be back..cool, ok play!
Wow..headache now watching those endgames, nightmares of b8...great video.
This Video was such a treat to me....Thanks Agadmator for showing these legendary games.
Thank you, agadmator. Until today I didn't know anything about Eliskases. To me he was just a name that often appeared in the crosstables of old tournaments. Excellent video, and one that's introduced me to a great player of the past. By the way, has anyone else beaten two (adult) players who became World Champions 50 years apart from each other?
I thought you were going to say Samuel Reshevsky, who beat Capablanca in 1935 and Fischer more than once. I had the honor of meeting him in 1984 at the New York Open. Fortunately, it was only to get an autograph, not to play.
Paul Keres beat not only Capablanca and Fischer, but also every other World Champion in between them (Alekhine, Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Petrosian, Tal and Spassky). His sequence ended there as he only played two games against Karpov and drew both.
I think the idea here is someone who is lesser known beat them both.
@@escapedlunatic27 Thanks for the addition. I mentioned Reshevsky below and imagine that he had winning games against other champs as well.
@@jasonsdodd Exactly. Keres and Reshevsky are Chess legends, how many of us can honestly say we knew of Erich Eliskases before today?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Eliskases contributed theory to a chess opening.
never apologize about long videos Antonio we love them!!
This channel deserves big compliments: not only one can find here the best games of the more recent tournaments, Antonio dedicates time also to an important player of the past like Eliskases, presenting two very interesting and instructive endgames!
Last few months it seems less of the "best" tourney games and more Magnus pawn up positional end games. Really glad to see a return to the classics!
at 10:30 , who of us wouldn't snag the pawn on the edge of the board in an endgame like that ? The fore-sight on that is amazing to me :)
the question is what would stock fish do there? snagging the pawn perhaps might of still been winning but his king moved up was probably worth a point as well in that position.
A legend who beat 2 legends. OMG that game vs Fischer was so excruciating. He found the only moves that won. Respect to Erich.
Staright goes to my fav chess games playlist !! Monstrous Endgame !! I have never seen anyone playing a game like this. Firstly I thought how strong erich could be to beat Capablance and Fischer, but now I get it. Beautiful.
The match vs Capablanca was insane!!! I've never seen someone plays endgame as good as Capablanca or Eliskases! I don't think Magnus can hold them if they played like this!! Never expected endgame can be this interesting to watch!!
Endgame Magnus will always be regarded as the greatest players of all time( especially 2013-2017 MC ) . But these endgames were some of the best ones i have evert seen ( Maybe comparable to that Akiba Rubenstein vs Capa)
@@srdjanstrkic6458 I haven't seen peak Magnus (was said about 5~6 years ago), but I've never seen him played endgames as good as these two gents!
stunning games...beautiful play from Eliskases! Thanks also for putting up the moves of both games...much appreciated!!
Thank you so much for reminding us of the German GM Erich Eliskases with two absolutely fine wins in light piece endgames against two of the greatest chess players in history!
The game against Capablanca is tempting because of the very precise maneuvers in a K+B vs. K+B endgame. He really outplayed Capablanca who was still one of the top 3 players in the world at that time.
And the game against Bobby Fischer - I remember Magnus' favorite game of Fisher was one where he won a K+N vs. K+B endgame. That's exactly what Eliskases did here against Fischer. Eliskases' patience and his precision in both games is just admirable!
Sorry, but he wasn't German at all. He was an Austrian-Argentine player.
Eliskases is born in Tirol, that is not Germany
Incredible endgame prowess demonstrated by Erich!
From the bottom of my heart thank you 🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻 I love your videos
In a difficult time they are a beacon of light for some reason
My favorite chessman is "The Magician of Latvia!" As he watches all the games from the upper right corner of your screen 👑 Brilliant player! He's like take my bishop now take my knight. All of his opponents must know that it's always some kind of trap sacrificing important pieces. 👑👑🎇🎆🤟🏼
Amazing games. Very sharp games, we don't see games like this much anymore.
It's always amazing to me how complex even simple-looking end games can be. I figured out the pause-the-video move in Game 1 pretty handily, but I wasn't even close to figuring out all the lines you need to find to win after that move.
You got it all!
Excellent place to learn some interesting chess history, to replay historical chess games and encounters, and to analyze new chess theoretical developments!
Bravo for the good work you do, and thank you for sharing!
These games are so instructive! Thank you.
This is an example of someone bridging ancient historical figures to recent times, but since chess players can start VERY young and some play into grand old age - can we take this to an extreme? How many matches does it take to get from someone who played the young Magnus, back to someone who played... Philidor, perhaps? Who do we regard as being the earliest player of known games at a standard we recognise today? Eliskases will probably help us along the way.
People's favourite, Ivanchuk is still playing!! 🤧
Wow what an amazing video with great endgame analysis - keep it up Antonio :)
Wow, what a discovery for me! As a Cuban American chess enthusiast (and seen and studied both world Champs) didn't know about this feat. Sure that I recognized the name and knew about his exile in Argentina.
One of your best video Agadmator, difficult to find a better lesson about how to play endgames ;-)
Wow! It's my first time that I've come across Eliskases's games. Such an amazing endgame player.
I love this double feature thing! Two games for the price of one!
I swear without you, I wouldn't know of any great chess players besides the usual suspects like Carlsen, Fischer, Kasparov, Karpov, Hikaru, Morphy. Thanks!
Amazing games and great coverage as always. Thanks Antonio.
28:05 Another move you could have mentioned: I was actually wondering about 42.Na7 trying to reroute the white knight back into the game while they can since once ...b5 is played, the black bishop on c5 would dominate the knight and disable it from moving. My thinking was that 42.Na7 would also prevent 42...b5 since the knight can simply take it, white can potentially play 43.Nb5 and blockade the black pawns on the b,c-files from getting connected while also controlling the c3 square.
It took me a while to notice the issue with it, much to my dismay because in hindsight, it is a relatively simple tactic, which is... the reply to 42.Na7 would be 42...Bxa3! (only winning move for black) which I completely failed to notice at first. White cannot play 43.bxa3 since black can then push the c-pawn to promotion and white is not in time to stop it. Also, white has no way to defend the b2 pawn as well, so black will win it as well.
Agad! Again well done. Thank you for your vast knowledge!
Great end game....I could never manipulate a Bishop like that! Great video. Thank you for your commentary.
"He represented Austria, Germany, and Argentina throughout his lifetime"
Sounds nice, then you realize what times this dude lived in
What this statement means?

Another absorbing video - astonishing! When are you next in London?
one of the best bishop dance ever seen in an endgame with a legendary player! absolute class!
Excellent video title. I couldn’t resist!
Nice to see a return to something other than Magnus a pawn up going into a long positional end game!
I've never heard of this guy Eliskases and he was such a great player!
Nh5 WOW!! So beautiful! I couldn't see it, even knowing the knight had to be the move, and so few choices.
Longer videos are just fine! Thanks for showing them to us.
Thank you for another excellent chess video!
Sir,I have already watched and shared as well what I remember is excellent knight moves to win against Fistcher.
I understand you my friend . Please keep them coming
I hate the end game, but because it's where games are won and lost, I started to begrudgingly like the end game and see how it's organised. . It's all fun in any sport until it's professional, then it's all pain, well maybe for the average person. Thanks, loved watched these two games. Amazing to see these two giants of chess being outplayed, as they did so many times to so many others.
Erich kinda looks like a fifa icon in the thumbnail lol, great game and great video btw👍
21:52 For those who are blind and only listen to the moves, he meant Queen to e7, not Bishop. Oh sorry-you can't see this either.
Best chess channel in the world!
EE's precision actually makes me appreciate Fischer more... every single move a game-ending threat. thx
In the second game, against Fisher, after Nh5 c2 Nf4 black promotes the knight eventually ( c1N ) preventing Nd3+ fork, but it doesn't help anyway, white just plays h5 and one of his pawns is going to promote, out of reach of newly promoted black knight
That’s a lot of Bishop running 🏃♀️ I wouldn’t be able to figure all those specifics out myself in a game without some luck Good Game Nice Call Thanks Much
You have one of my favourite channels to watch. Your chess analysis is always interesting. But ok! I have a small suggestion for you :D
One of the biggest improvements I would ask you to make is to change how certain content is presented in your videos.
I notice many youtubers dedicate a certain time of the video for certain information, such as donors, where to reach out on socials, etc. However your videos seem to dedicate a portion of screen space to various information like this instead.
Would you please consider moving from a model where things take a slice of the screen, to one in which they take a slice of the time?
It would really clean up the business of the screen and make it easier to focus on the game.
Also I think some of the visual elements are looking a bit dated.
Personally I would like it if the board was bigger in the frame. If you make it smaller than the full height of the video, it would be a benefit if the extra space is on the bottom, in case users need to use captions; currently they will cover the bottom row of pieces.
I wouldn't mind the odd outtake of your dog, anything that shows her personality or funnier moments. Thanks for sharing some of your games; they add a personal touch.
Thanks for all the great videos and for sharing your ample chess knowledge. You are doing a great job!
Very nice. Did not hear of him before.
Would Bobby be able to draw had he gone through with the promotion of the pawn (min 31:05), but instead of bringing a queen he underpromoted to a knight, preventing the fork?
That’s a cool thought.
I have heard of this guy, now I know more. Nice accomplishment Eliskases
watching ur vids since some years.... i like ur "working room" but i miss something on the couch 😭
When you see 35 min agadmator video in subscriptions you know life is good
I missed that feeling of my knowledge becoming vast. Thank you Agad!
This video might be "Agadmator's Immortal"
Wow amazing play, against Fischer it was a very intense battle
paused to analyse, already had about 6 beers, realised the beers make no difference because I can't see it anyway, and decided to just enjoy the show!
Why the red board, Mr Radic?
I saw Nd7 at 30:21 to get the Knight to that same forking square of d3 via e5 instead. I'm not sure if that wouldn't have done it, but maybe!
Amazing! Fischer said of Capablanca that "he was better than all of us" and his endgame skills were only overpass by Magnus in my opinión
That Knight calculation at the end game with Bobby was just cold blooded and disgusting.
I loved the double-feature :)
Awesome explanation Sir
Beautiful games! Thanks!
Big big fan from Nepal Antonio.
Should point out that at 30:00 it also looks like Fischer can play Ne4 so if c2 he can play Nf2 and then Nd3 check, problem is that Black can then play c2, if white goes Nf2 Black goes Kc3. Whereas in the correct move (Nh5) if Black goes Kc3 White goes Ne2 check, Kd2, the White knight goes Nd4 so he has the fork on b3 if Black queens. Very subtle difference
yea I need to learn the end games, for a good opening player or a good mid game player, understands very well where it all leads to.
