Maybe it's just me, but I feel there's some particular beauty in this game. Almost at every point in the game all pieces on both sides are positioned in a kind of simple yet 100% efficient harmony. A real work of art.
Congrats to you too Antonio, you have done a fab job bringing the Capa Saga to us. Your efforts and research behind each game is a testimony of your love for chess. Kudos!!
You really are creating something really special with the Casablanca Saga and one day what a wonderful legacy you will have left for chess lovers to enjoy. Keep up the great work I looked forward to your videos each day Antonio.
Antonio, I always look at the precious metals conversion of dollars to ounce of the day, and today to get a ballpark. For instance .77 of an ounce of silver was a silver dollar then. 20$ gold piece was .96 oz of gold which is roughly 1400$ in today's money. The gold price didn't move for centuries until taken out of currency, silver was closer to gold back then, roughly 1/35 of its value historically, but much less as of today closer to 1/100th. So, depending on which metal you wish to convert: gold 1,334,000$ or silver:234,000$. (Both roughly as the price moves by the second) a good aggregate would be about $850,000.
More like Capa plays the best moves without even knowing theya are the best moves and I am playing my best moves without even knowing they are the worst
Am I an excellent subscriber? I went back and watched the thirty minute negotiation video up to the ten move ''miniature'' which wasn't really a miniature.
This is the best saga that i have ever watched and the way it has progressed and presented by you, the one and only Mr. Antonio😎, I m really enjoying every bit of it😃🙌🏻. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONTRIBUTING SUCH GREAT SAGA 😉
I find it very strange that so many people seem to think that the $20,000 is worth about 250-270,000 today. In fact it is worth much more when translated into the majority of the commodities that you would want to buy. Obviously, it varies but consider that gold was $20 per ounce, bread was 10 cents a loaf, cabbage and watermelon were 2 cents a pound, gasoline was 20 cents a gallon, solid oak furniture was about 1/50 of the cost today and a good house on a large lot was 2-3000 dollars! !(depending on which city of course) Against that, leading tech items at the time such as electric appliances were relatively expensive but those would go down in price as is always the case with new tech.
It seems that at those days the champion was free to choose his challenger,so: Lasker: " Ok, we will play the championship match,but first I resign from my title. Now you are the world champion and I am the challenger!" Capablanca: " Well, not exactly...since I am the world champion now, I can choose my challenger. And the name of my challenger is.... Borislav Kostic!!!
Lasker was getting old. He hadn't been able to compete in many tournaments in recent memory, and he probably felt that he wouldn't have the energy to play that many good games against someone like Capablanca.
Dear Mr. Agadmator. Sometime in the future it would be great if you would do a Lasker saga. I very much admire Lasker, though he is a hard master to learn from since there is nothing distinctive in his style to grab onto for a lesson. I find Lasker's versatility truly amazing. He played some brilliant attacks. He could defend as tenaciously as anyone in history. He could play very tidy methodical Tarrasch style chess. He could also play crazy chess in strange positions with material imbalances and weird pawn structures. He was a very powerful endgame player. He didn't so much specialize in technically precise endgames like Capa and Rubinstein, though he has a few of those. But he was very dangerous in tricky fighting endgames with chances for both sides. He would often mysteriously get the better of his opponent. Hans Kmoch once joked that Morphy perfected the attacking style, Steinitz the positional style, Tarrasch the methodical style, Capablanca the precise style, and Lasker perfected the styleless style.
In other words, $20,000 in 1920 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $251,106.83 in 2018, a difference of $231,106.83 over 98 years. The 1920 inflation rate was 15.61%. (Wikipedia)
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, prices in 2018 are 1,302.83% higher than average prices throughout 1921. The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 2.76% per year during this period, meaning the real value of a dollar decreased. In other words, $21,000 in 1921 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $294,594.61 in 2018, a difference of $273,594.61 over 97 years. Ps. Keep up the great commentary and work sir! You've always done a hell of a job analyzing games.
Emanuel Lasker : sips tea & reads book in house *A wild Capablanca appears!* Emanuel Lasker : I've heard good things about you, don't disappoint me. Capablanca : *proceeds to disappoint Lasker by drawing the game.
Lashar was cantankerous and not above gaming to his unfair advantage, while lecturing on the proper deportment of a champion. But Harrwitz was a scoundrel, whose word not to be taken seriously.
Roughly 273k dollars adding to the fact that deducing terms for purchasing power parity, incomes in Cuba were 30% that of the US, assuming similar structural costs of living (very roughly speaking) then it would not be a strech to say that it would imply that that same value would be 3 times more powerfull if spent in Cuba with appropriate currency exchange. So lets say you could buy in Cuba what 9/10 of a million would get you in the US at the time with such a prize. A kings ransom indeed given the time.

"The winner has to win the match." - Agadmator 2019
20000 dollars in 1921 is a worth a quarter of a million dollars as of today. About 270k dollars.
Then i guess chess has vastly grown as today the prize was €1 mil
thanks for that, tbh i thought it'd be even more.
$20,000 is actually worth approximately a million now. The ratio is approximately 50:1 but does depend on the commodity being considered.
@@somewhere6 yeah its worth a million if it was 2100. Inflation is averaged at 2.5 % each yeah. You do the math. It's worth 270-280k dollars

More like studying engine lines.
And he will finally be ready in 2020.
lmao this comment
5:45 "But Lasker said that even if he wins this match..." This thought was was never finished.
Capablanca's knowledge of opening theory did not prepare him for Lasker's cunning plan: resign the title before the match starts.

@Blejz this is an objective topic with no actual science. It is opinion
@Blejz you dipshit.
Agadmator made really nice work here by starting uploading Capablanca against Lasker just an hour after I finished my exams :)
The story made it sound as though Lasker stalled, preventing a match fearing losing.
wow. what an incredible photo of them playing!!

Capa travelled all the way to Europe to convince Lasker to play, now we know the difference between Capablanca and Karpov;-)
