    Jose Raul Capablanca vs Frank James Marshall
    "Novelty Gift" (game of the day Jan-15-2018)
    New York (1918), New York, NY USA, rd 1, Oct-23
    Spanish Game: Marshall Attack. Original Marshall Attack (C89)

    The Marshall Attack was introduced by Frank Marshall in a famous game against Capablanca in 1918. According to legend, Marshall saved this prepared innovation for eight years before getting the chance to play it against Capablanca. This seems unlikely, and in fact the gambit had been played earlier in a few obscure games including a consultation game in Havana, although there's no evidence that Marshall knew of these games. Capablanca weathered the Black attack and won brilliantly. Improvements to Black's play were found (Marshall played 11...Nf6 instead of 11...c6) and the Marshall Attack was adopted by top players including Boris Spassky.
    New York 1918 was originally planned as an 8-player double round robin tournament. Norman Tweed Whitaker began a game a day before Round 1, became ill and withdrew from the event, leaving it as a 7-player field. New York (1924) appears to be the next international tournament that the city would see in this series. (1)
    Round 1 saw the most famous game of the tournament. Marshall sprung his prepared variation of what has come to be known as the Marshall Gambit, but Capablanca wove his way through the complications at the board to win the game. Kostic drew with Chajes. In Round 2, Marshall lost to Chajes, and Marshall was never able to overcome the bad 0-2 start and catch Capablanca and Kostic. Janowski lost to the eventual tail-ender, Morrison, and this was the beginning of a lackluster result for him. In Round 4, Marshall beat Janowski, but this was a bit too late to reverse his fortunes. Kostic beat Morrison, but drew five of his first six games. Despite going undefeated in the tournament, this would not be a sufficiently fast pace to catch Capablanca, who would score a blistering 10.5/12.

    At first I assumed that Capablanca was going to get destroyed in this game, but then I remembered that Capablanca played without any knowledge of chess theories and openings. So it should be business as usual.

      To beat the Marshall without knowing the Marshall requires the ability of a Capablanca. This 12. ... Nf6 variation, largely superseded by 12. ... c6, is relatively little known, but I have just about analyzed it to death. In 1972, I, rated about 1700 at the time, pulled out 12. ... Nf6 on a master, with a rating of 2364. He didn't know the line, and I absolutely crushed him. A win over a master in a tournament game; that was the greatest moment of my life in chess. Learn 12. ... Nf6. As black, it gives you a wonderful surprise weapon with which you may beat a much stronger player who doesn't know it; as white, if you know the right lines against it, it neutralizes that weapon; with correct play by white, black can't do better than a very arduous draw.

    Thank you. Poor Frank Marshall - all those wonderful sacrificial ideas, he must have thought the attack was unstoppable, especially with no computers to do the hard work for him or Capa. I am still impressed by all the ideas, and Capablanca's comment before playing 9 ed5:
    "I thought for a little while before playing this, knowing that I would be subjected thereafter to a terrific attack, all the lines of which would be of necessity familiar to my adversary. The lust of battle, however, had been aroused within me. I felt that my judgment and skill were being challenged. I decided that I was honor bound, so to speak, to take the pawn and accept the challenge, as my judgment told me that my position should then be defensible."
    It is still beyond me how anybody can see, at this point, that 15. d4 is the crucial refutation. Wonderful stuff.

    • @rockopolo3247
      @rockopolo3247 5 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      thisnicklldo
      When playing chess there can be a perfect refutation to every move made that nullifies the attack, or the counterattack. So, therefore, by the process of survival (if, you want to call it such) it's imperative to find the most precise line of refutation. Hence, the play of Capablanca!!!
      Amazing!!! Intuitively and through calculaction he almost always arrived at the best lines of continuaton. When I played at an advanced stage a long long time ago
      I would stumble on a good or excellent move otherwise, I would lose the game. For average players that happens once in awhile or seldom, but for GM's and experts this is rather the norm!!! Supercomputers such as engines and now neural chess engines play a dance of dozens of moves where they dance around the board to reduce their opponents balance and or piece superiority positionally, either in the form of mobility or functionality.

    This old version of the Marshall enabled me to have the single biggest tournament win in my life. My rating was about 1700 at the time. My opponent was rated about 2360. 12. ... c6 is too well known. But 12. ... Nf6, Marshall's original move, is obscure now--but I've played it many times. With correct play, White escapes, but one mistake and White is dead. Good as he was, my opponent wasn't familiar with the old line, and it allowed me to beat a master, rated almost 700 points higher than myself. Unfortunately, I'm a very disorganized person; I wish I still had the score, but it was in Monterey, California, in February, 1972, the best tournament in my life. I tied for the win in the tournament, with three wins and two draws (both draws against experts). I heartily recommend knowing the old 12. ... Nf6

    One of the most amazing games ever! That Capablanca found those winning moves over-the-board is mind-boggling. Also, the quote of Capablanca is so counter-intuitive, so different than most people believe, that it...and this game...proves that Morphy and Capablanca know things that the rest of us don't.

    Just found this video, in my humble opinion, it's one of Agadmator's best. He clearly explains all the lines that Marshall came up with for his attack, and how fiendishly clever they were. I had always heard that this was a great game, but I didn't realize how great it was until I saw the way the lines played out against Capablanca if he made any mistakes at all. Seeing how cleverly Marshall planned his attack gives me a better understanding for how brilliantly Capablanca played to defeat it over the board. Very nice work!

    In a way I imagine Frank would of been proud to of chosen such a worthy adversary for his legendary attack. If you've saved this for 8 years as it is rumoured only to use it and have the opponent crumble at the first problem (14. hxg4) would you not feel that maybe there were someone more worthy to of used it on? Someone who's skills were more deserving of such a devastating attack? Perhaps the fact that he managed to refute it confirmed this was the right person to try it on rather than upset him, as it almost proves how strong Jose was for his time.
