In the early spring of 1911, fifteen chess masters were invited to the seaside town of San Sebastian, Spain to compete in a round robin tournament. (1) Each player was invited based on a previous result. Every participant had won either first or second place in a chess master tournament, or two or more fourth place prizes. The turnout was a veritable who's who of chess mastery: Established masters such as Tarrasch, Frank James Marshall, Carl Schlechter, Geza Maroczy, David Janowski, and Amos Burn, and newer stars like Akiba Rubinstein, Aron Nimzowitsch, and Rudolph Spielmann were all in attendance. The tournament also marked the European debut of Jose Raul Capablanca, who had garnered fame for defeating Marshall in a match. The only noticeable absence was the world champion, Emanuel Lasker. As a result of this method of invitation, this tournament is often considered to be one of the strongest held in chess history. Games were played in the Gran Casino from February 20th to March 17th. The time control for the tournament stipulated that fifteen moves must be played each hour. Initially, Ossip Bernstein had objected to Jacques Mieses, the tournament organizer, about Capablanca's inclusion in the tournament based on one match victory. Capablanca proved himself first by defeating Bernstein in the first round, silencing his protests for the rest of the tournament. He then went on admirably to win clear first in the tournament, taking home the 5000 Franc prize, as well as winning the brilliancy prize. Rubinstein and Dr. Milan Vidmar shared second place behind Capablanca, while Marshall took clear fourth. The tournament was a landmark both in its strength and in heralding the arrival of Capablanca, a superb tournament player with a long career of victories ahead as well as becoming future world champion.

I forgot to mention this in the video, but Paul Saladin Leonhardt died of a heart attack in Königsberg during a game of chess.
agadmator's Chess Channel a good chess player never dies in a heart attack in a good position.. who said that?
Did he win it?
in the spirit of Paul Saladin Leonhardt
BTW I think the photo is of Vladimir kramnik
His lion heart failed.
Funny that he had as names the nickname of a crusader english king and the name of the muslim ruler that has defeated the crusaders decisively.

Sir, you've just shown us your vast knowledge. Congratulations!
So, Capablanca is playing Janowski? Anyway, thanks for the excellent description.
Amazing
Come on man
@@alphabeta3029 Yes. Capablanca won. I found this source: www.chessgames.com/perl/chess.pl?page=3&tid=79292
Very impressive. It's worth highlighting the style of Capa's opponents. All of them were clearly trying to beat him, and were only interested in draw once they were behind.
I would have blundered the position a million times. Capa was a genius.
thanks for admitting the way I feel
*IN THE SPIRIT OF MIKHAIL TAL*
*pours down another cold one*
Amazing how much precision was required to squeeze out a win from that one pawn advantage. Done without a move to spare!
Capablanca is not flashy, but he seems to have a better control of the details of a position than his opponent and his endgame play is outstanding. Interesting to get to know his style better.
Am I the only one who is amazed that his name is Saladin Leonhardt? Probably his great grandfather was a crusades enthusiast
Richard VS Saladin
So many amazing names!
This is game #8 of "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings." This one is a real beauty and a fine example of the end game precision that Capablanca is capable of.
The gentleman in the photo is Little Vlad :)
Vlad who ? Kramnik ? Putin ? The impaler/dracule(a) ? Some other vlad ?
@@koteantadze4200 From the context of being on this channel I think it's safe to guess Kramnik :)
Gergő Almásy that’s true, but it ain’t gonna hurt to be a bit more specific and actually type full name of a guy you are referring to so that readers don’t have to play the pronoun game
@@koteantadze4200 I meant Lenin.

Dear Agadmator -- You are a truly gifted chess historian. I am so happy to have discovered your "saga" series, as they allow you the outlet for this great love of yours -- the STORIES behind this great game! Don't be discouraged by those who want you to just get to the moves. They can simply advance the bar to where the pieces start to move and skip your discourses with a bit of trouble to themselves. Meanwhile those of us who, like you, delight in the purely human aspects of the game, will continue to delight in your telling of tales. Thanks!
just what I wanted to say, great job Agad
"The game packs a lot of poison, I hope you'll enjoy it" - and it sounds perfectly normal coming from Agadmator 🤣
-60 below 0 here in North Dakota! Gonna stay in and watch your videos all day!
-60 below 0? This is a quite hot place, Mrs Marshall
@@arthurbarbosadelira7505
Only moderately warm in Fahrenheit.
I guess you could say the weather is going for the Marshall attack
Theresa marshall I have played you on Lichess
General Gaming WR Cool! 🙂
Vast knowledge 0:00
First move 1:40
Find next move 5:15 / 13:53
Just when I needed you.
was going through comment for you.
1:26 Photo challenge
Yes Yes Skip past all those bits where you learn positional chess concepts, skip skip skip away !
Waited so long for this vid Capablanca learned opening theory.
Paul’s fierce attacking style earned him the title of Sir Paul the Leonhardted.
Hahahaha
Beatles reference + chess + agadmator + opening theory = vast knowledge
is the Beatles reference the title? Cuz that’s a stretch...
16:50 ....and YET, AlphaZero’s biggest contribution in crushing Stockfish was showing that open lines and piece activity are well worth a pawn sacrifice. Or 3 lol.
I really have to watch that agadmator's best moments video
Saladin Leonhart
Imagine someone named Stalin Hitler 500 years from now
😄
@mjolnir, but pronounced Jonathan Saladin and King Lionheart were enemys during the crusades
Really like this one. I haven't seen too many 4 bishop end-games.
Capa was a master of the patient Endgame.
One of my favourite books is Capablanca's 100 Best Endgames.
I'm currently reading "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings" which contains 60 full games with emphasis on end games. This one is the book but I find the book to be a hit or miss with very light annotations without any critique whatsoever of Capablanca. So far though this one is one of my favorites.
Amazing endgame by Capablanca, brilliant game!
as an amateur, i was very happy that i found bishop c6 as the best move :) love your content agad :)
Capablanca in an end game that can only be described as genius. What brilliant, coy moves for the mate. Leonhardt must have been heart broken.
Love your videos agadmator! Hope you have a great rest of your day!!!
This game was one of my favorites thus far of the Capablanca series.
11:35 -- Interesting endgame. According to the engine, this is the pivotal moment, as all moves other than Kf1 are -12 by depth 30 (I assume that black can always forcibly win from a -12 position), while Kf1 remains at -3.9 (the value of a bishop and pawn, indicating a draw, probably eventually via three-fold repetition).
Addendum: At 35 depth, Kf1 improves to -2.98 (so just a bishop) while everything else is -16 and worse with the white pawn eliminated and a new black queen present. (Strange that it hasn't found a forced mate yet.)
LOL. Capablanca's line was much simpler than the one I calculated at the end. Beautiful.
"I give you a Queen, you give me the game."

OPENING THEORY LETS GO
It's sad to see another great player retire from Classical, reminds me of Anatoly Karpov as well. Though both of them will still be around for faster time formats. But I wish Kramnik well in his future!
Love the positive vibes in the quote :)
Keep that up buddy :)

Rare look at face of good doggo
Wow! What a wonderful photograph of the 1911 San Sebastian tournament participants! :)
Probably, you should have named the photo contributor name ;) Wonderful explanation, no doubt!
Somewhere, Ben Finegold is looking upward and shaking his head: 3:20
In the spirit of Capablanca.
Really cool! I am enjoying the saga, and I felt very accomplished when I saw the move before Leonhardt resigned*without pausing the video as usual*😂
2:44 "and Capablanca had no problems with accepting gambits so he grabs the pawn" lol what a boss, the funny thing is that the "gambit" is what ended up winning for him as he was a pawn up.
Any Kramnik game w/Kasparov where he trades queens early would be fun to watch ~
well it s a pity he decided to retire, i still remember that photo of him laughing with chucky on a post-game analysis
The greatest ever 👏👏👏
Why are your videos not showing up in my feed anymore?? This is frustrating because I am an excellent subscriber :)
The little legend Vladimir Kramnik
one of the best positional games I've ever seen
Binge watching the saga. Great coverage.
I found the bc6 in two seconds, my puzzle rating surpassed 2000 and I'm 20 at puzzle rush, for now... And all that thanks to your channel which brought me to chess a year ago, when I could barely play against 3th level against the machine, but a few days ago I battled against 2180 player on lichess tournament in a classic game and managed to hold on well almost till the end of the middle game, but I blundered a peace and resigned. Thanks for spreading love for chess worldwide in a such great manner Agadmator!
"The game is really packs a lots of poison, so i do hope you'll enjoy it" :)

My brain gives up on calculations after game 10 each day. Thats my problem...

This was quite a beautiful game in terms of tile controlling!
Thank you I am new in your channels
Beyond Superior! Agcelsior!
leonhardt was amazing in this game.
#Suggestion Peter Leko vs Vladimir Kramnik Linares (2004)
Won-der-ful! Thanks
Great endgame puzzle
Such a cool endgame
Damn what! Kramnik is retiring :O
Great end game lesson this
Saladin Leonhardt what a great name
Chess is brutal. Some guy lost an eye!
I like that the year is on the title.
Respect to Kramnik. This last tournament decided it for him
5:35 beautiful question.
The kid of the photo challenge is Vladimir Kramnick
Show us the Kramnik imortal game! :))
@15:20 is where a single pawn makes the difference.
thats an amazing picture
5:44 I found the move yeah
Running out of time? No problem. Agadmator will always give you a couple of seconds.
Saladin Lion Heart, what a name!
Tough game to convert. Props to Capablanca
person in the photo at 1:38 is magnus carlsen
Hi there man. great job u do here. I hail from Iran
Reza Shahmizad thank you
Hey agadmator, I hope you will cover some of the alpha zero games you got soon! I came to dislike the engine like gameplay by human grandmasters and I hope alpha zero can change the way we play chess again :-)
Young Capablanca in that avatar looks a bit like meg Ryan. In a good way.
17 in the photo....12, 12 bushes.....And magic grits
You are uploading very fast - *_your favorite mod of discord_*
what a tricky endgame
an opening theory is all i need
I can never be first on here. Everybody is waiting in the wings ready to pounce.
I was just wondering if Capablanca had studied any opening theory. You don’t seem to mention that either way and it seems like an oversight on your part.
Hey! Thanks for your content! I have been following your videos for a while and i have a question for you and for everyone else who has suggeations. What book or guide would you suggest for a beginner? I would like to start playing and i'm looking for a good point to start. Thanks in advance!
So definitely old saying still stands. If you go into a gambit, you should always consider what happens if you are left in a king plus pawn endgame.
After ...Be5 (8:30 in the video), I asked myself "why doesn't white play the simple and powerfull Ba7 immediately to gain control of the b8 square?". But then I realized that black's ressource would be to put his dark square bishop on the diagonal a7-g1 once b6 is pushed.
Capablanca plays like a chess machine
#SUGGESTION Vladimir Kramnik vs Alexander Morozevich; World Championship Tournament (2007), Mexico City, Sep-14-2012
thts chese legend Larry Kasparov duhh
that´s Kramnik
Opening Theory is what he needs.
I finally found the correct move at 13:55 :)
They were testing Capablanca, Not much respect yet. After the San Sebastian tournament everybody knew Who was the Man
I'd be really interested to see how Capablanca would fare against someone like Carlsen today, to see how the players of then played compared to the way they do now - especially once Capablanca learned opening theory, he could have potentially been a real threat today.
Capablanca would probably beat Carlsen if he was alive today and is in his prime. I mean he is really gifted and genius. He was often lazy when he plays. He didn't have to try very hard in studying chess. As he is exceptional, like Morphy. Carlsen on the other hand, as far as i've seen, he wasn't really considered an exact genius. He was however considered a prodigy in chess. And that he was gifted in chess. And through his hard work and determination, managed to become the most dominant player today. Well it's hard to say who would win between the two. But i would bet on Capablanca. Because, well. Being able to play with extreme precision at the time where engines still did not exist is pretty impressive. Not all players can do that.
Hi Agadmator. I am one of your fans. I just want to suggest. At time 10:08 I think after black pushes g4 the white bishop can simply capture the pawn and go for a draw and for humans I think it is very hard to win for black. How do you assess it? Any help for me please. Thank you.
