During this Capa series, i have found myself more and more intrigued with Lasker, his style is hard to place. That dude could play any position like he ment it to be that way
"Love is so strange how we change our day to night. Love is so strange how we change our black to white" Well this a part of lyrics from 80/90's rock band Mr. Mister and it has probably nothing to do with the given topic but still this game reminds me of them. Rock n roll! 🤘✌️
Incredible how strong was Lasker a that age. It was the beginning of the end of a great champion thougth he continue playing great chess for many more years just like Kasparov.
Viva Capa! Finally this series is getting some spice to it! I was going to need a Nezhmetdinov game to brighten my day if this match didn't pick up lol
At 19:02 it is better to play queen to e5 check becoz it is forced line and you have to trade queens otherwise you lose it and the point is the knight on e3 is just undefended so queen has to capture on e5 and than you know what the next simple rook caputers on e5 and the knight is lost Same as the variation at 19:48 😅
Lasker was at his sly best in this game but the peak Capablanca still navigated through the maze. High level chess here. There were so many ways for both players to lose it and finally Lasker broke.
@Fanne Aeris That is indeed speculation and/or excuses and I don't buy it. He played very well in this game until the end. He played well in most of the others and played well in the years before and after this. The average temperature in Havana in March (when this game was played) is about 25 degrees, like any European summer and for sure cooler than a New York summer. When proud chess players lose, there is always an excuse from them or their fans.
@Oissev Onos What the hell are you blabbing about? No one has taken any credit away from Lasker, certainly I have always given him credit but he lost this game and the match. That is just a fact and he lost it to a truly superb player. That is also a fact. If you are arguing against that, you are just being silly. Grind your axe whatever it is with someone else.
@@a.m.armstrong8354 Who said it was? The point is that Havana at that time of the year is very comfortable and certainly not hotter than New York or Europe would be in the Summer, i.e. temperatures that Lasker would be very familiar with and at which Lasker had played serious chess successfully many times.
Thanks for the video. The important detail in case of threefold repetition is that the same player is to move. If one has a position three times and two times is black to move and once white it is not a draw.
0:12 I was thinking you can also skip watching the video and go to the end to see who won, but I remembered Agad's voice telling me : That's just silly 😂
At 19:00 I just saw Qe5+ gaining the knight. In the end it turns out to be the same result you shown in the final line without having to read 6-7 moves ahead!
It's always a good thing to make your opponent have a chance to blunder. Oversimplifying is rarely the good way to go. At their level it usually doesn't make much difference since they usually find the moves but if you work for a position/sequence, your opponent have to work to decipher it as well :)
I am looking at these world championship games with help of Stockfish-13. On move 15, for black, instead of immediately recapturing the white bishop on f6, Stockfish-13 evaluates capturing the white knight on f3 with 15...Bxf3 as significantly superior to both 15...Nxf6 and 15...Qxf6 (which was played) leading to some exciting positions, many ending in perpetual check. IMHO its really worth looking at the amazing lines.
The battle between Capablanca and Lasker.I like watching games by great chess players and the outcome and series of moves hosted by Agadmator . Whether it is any strong player Magnus , Nakamura, Levon , Anand and some others.Chess is a good game to learn and play.
On 1. Ke7, I like 1...Qe5+ 2. Qxe5 (otherwise you lose your Queen) Rxe5+ 3. Rxe5. A lot less variations. If you like working on combinations, google Deja Scacchi. There you can download pdf files of old (1700's) to recent positions (2000's) to test your vast combinational skills!
This was sad like you indicated. Lasker played exceptional chess for his age, make me wonder if both men met in their prime what the result would've been? However even the brightest chess flame must one day pass the torch on...yet I felt kind of sad.
On the last position if Ke7 by Lasker there is also the immediate Qe5+ which leaves Capablanca a rook and three pawns without the extra moves that's the first one I saw because I don't like over complications...
Threefold repetition did exist back then, but the draw had to be claimed by a player. Neither side claimed the draw, so they kept on playing the rest of the game.
Barak Minecraft In my opinion, Capablanca's move gave him more mate chances and the worst outcome is to be up a rook, on the other hand your move is forced white and you still up a rook. I would choose the move with fast-winning chances too.
The explanation at the resignation position 19:00 seems over elaborate. After black plays Ke7 then Qe5 check forces the exchange of Queens and white recaptures with Rxe5 check, picking up the Knight on the next move?
Well, a threefold repetition didnt exist back then. There was a rule that declared that a game would end if any sequence of moves were repeated three times in a row. But here is a problem- we can prove, that using a Thue-Morse sequence allows us to create an infinite game of chess. It was shown by non-other than the great GM Max Euwe and thanks to his insane mathematical and chess skills we now have a finite game of chess with a modern threefold repetition rule
That's insane. Kf8 was literally the first move I saw in that position and I immediately saw Qb8+ connecting with the rook, within like 5 seconds. Lasker didn't see that in 15 minutes of analysis? I'm no GM by a longshot, but that's insane. Even World Champions are mortal, I suppose.
I find Qb8 move and I think that After Ke5, Qe5+ Is even stronger than Re5 because you forced trader of Queens and then picks up the night with a nice fork
In minute 19:28 I think you made a slight inaccuracy! I might be wrong though! If you capture the pawn on a7 the black king can go to c6 and no more checks can be made from there except for one where the white queen goes to Qa4 but after the exchange it's difficult to say who has the better position! I am a huge fan btw! :)
#suggestion FIDE Grand Prix Riga Wesley So versus Sergey Karjakin, the first blitz game, where So has the white pieces. So sacrifices the queen and we have a completely crazy game on the board.
Don't know maybe I'm just dumb, but after Qb8+ if Ke7, doesn't Qe5+ wins straightaway? Black has to trade queens and after Qxe5 Rxe5+ Black loses the Knight anyway. I don't mind the variations, but since Capablanca himself preferred not to complicate things as he was 'Lazy', I think he'd have gone for that.
Wouldn't it be much more logical for white to play Qe5+ rather than Re5+ because it's a forced queen trade that wins the knight on e3 next move. I'm talking about the position at 19:02
After Qb8 and Ke7 it seems to me that Qe5+ is winning on the spot as it force a queen exchange (Qxe5 Rxe5+) and after any move with the king Rxe3 picks up the knight We end with a similar position that you’ve shown in the last line but most quickly
But this line does not let a chance to your opponent to blunder to end the game quicklier but i think that Capablanca would have been to lazy to calculate yours
Is anyone else kind of bothered by the fact that Lasker decided to give up his World champion title before this match. It almost feels like he is not interested anymore. I don't know. Something about that whole "challenger or champion" ordeal threw me off. The games are still top notch. But I feel no excitement. Not like I used to... for this match.

When your opponent is so old, that he is still black and white.
I love Laskers picture!
Black and White is all we need for chess...
LOL nooo

Gary had quit chess by the time he hit Lasker's age.
And Karpov also
@Oissev Onos this is not football man
Lasker was tired, tired of being the best, the target of every young chess player. He just wanted to sit around the café and play some chess
Nothing wrong with that😆
Lol nothing it’s kinda all I want to do too
The man remained world champion for 27 years. Holy moly
So Good content! My Favorite TH-cam Channel so far!
I love the way Lasker plays, with such style and grace...even in defeat.
He wasn't the world chess champion for so many years because of some shady tactical moves...🤪😜
@@gauravjha8938 ?
It was a really tactical game. The whole match has been so competitive.
A faster win at 18:53 is QE5 check, forcing a trade of queens, and then the rook checks with a knight fork, ending a rook up.
18:54: Much simpler is Q-e5+, QxQ, RxQ+ and then RxN. (Which some variants get to in the more complicated lines agadmator showed.)

Duda played a very nice queen sac. Awesome line.
Great analysis. Agree that Lasker played an amazing 5 games before the final move blunder in this game, which was a pity.
I heard John Green is writing a book about chess players trying to recreate great lost classics. It's going to be called Looking for a Lasker.
This is what future students will have to read in English classes.
Thanks again for this Saga. I really enjoy the history and stories.

Qe5+ after Ke7 leaves you up a rook directly as in 19:55 ,which is easier to calculate

16:07....he says “back with the Night King” 😂
In the final position, I don't understand why to play RE5 after KE7. QE5 wins immediately, since you take the knight after the exchange of queens.
Same idea here. I guess that Capa also would have played Qe5+ :)
@@Sletty73 Well. Who knows? We are not Capablaca after all.
Threefold repetition did exist back then, but the draw had to be claimed by a player. Neither side claimed the draw, so they kept on playing the rest of the game.
15:44 if the king trades the queens off then the knight could take the pawn forking the rook and king winning a rook
Thank you so much Agadmator for all your hard work!
7:48 The white queen becomes a quiet queen.
About 19:00, Qe5 exchanges queens and wins knight

Are there any games in the data base were the queens gambit is ever acceptable and would that be a completely new game.

Black Rxc1 and then Rxh1, and White loses the game
8:13 Do you can capture the pawn on E3 with the rook? The Queen pins the pawn on f2 and the Queen is guarded?
I suppose you could yeah, but by moving the queen away, Lasker says "I dont want to trade queens"

Wouldn't it be much more logical for white to play Qe5+ rather than Re5+ because it's a forced queen trade that wins the knight on e3 next move. I'm talking about the position at 19:02
At 18:51 after Ke7, Qe5+ wins the knight much faster than the line you have shown in the video
at 19:52 you can see: if black plays the best defense white is a rook up.
thats why I said Qe5+ gives the same result but faster.
After Ke7... Isn't it easier to play Qe5+, force queen trade and then pick up the knight? 🤔
After Qb8 and Ke7 it seems to me that Qe5+ is winning on the spot as it force a queen exchange (Qxe5 Rxe5+) and after any move with the king Rxe3 picks up the knight
