Today my brother got the all clear from his cancer. The day he was diagnosed he had stage 4b lymphoma (stage 5 being dead). Anyway, for the past 8 months my family has struggled to keep it together, and only real happiness I got everyday was from watching your daily videos. They gave me strength and hope, taught me lots and made me laugh. THANKS SO MUCH AGADMATOR!!! I owe you so much. I have mad respect for you! Thanks again!🙏
That's awesome, my brother also was stage 4 ,Brain,lungs ,stomach, kidneys that was a year ago when they said he had three months to live still not out of the woods yet but its always nice to realize its not over till its over there is always the chance to put up a good fight!
When I play a brilliant game on Lichess, my opponent often rewards me by rage quitting and making me wait for the time to run out before I can claim victory.
I agree with you bro. at least the rage resign is fine than to wait for the time to run out so that I can claim victory. The worst case is when the opponent is out of all the pieces but still want to play with the king alone until I check mate them.
I watched his live stream first and was hooked by the fun time they were having...sure wish he'd go live once a month. ...live tournament was getting ready 5000+ players

Truly a beautiful game! Capablanca made poor Janowski look like an amateur. No discredit intended to Janowski, it just shows what a gifted player Capablanca really was.
This is one of the most beautiful of Capablanca's games. The way he artfully manipulated the board in this particular game just shows how much of a genius he was.
That notepad notes on standings of the players was something that proves how much grateful and sincere you are Antonio to all the subscribers suggestions and requests. Thank you very much Antonio👍. You are a true gentleman of excellent character we all would learn as days go by.
@@Szerbijn Yes, Whitehill is Colinablanca but it doesnt sound as weird as you might think, there are lots of people called Montenegro which means Blackmount and that name is also kinda cool, you see that name frecuently in characters from tv series.
@@FountainOfYouth112 bueno, Capablanca se conjuga en un sonido y un significado genial. Colinablanca ya se vuelve más largo y no lo percibo con tanta fuerza al pronunciarlo.
Capablanca saga is the best of all the games, I'm very impressed with Capablanca and his brilliance that made me to do a digital illustration of him today. I'd be more than happy if this saga never ends.
Hi Agad,as you are covering the good old times maybe you could make a video about Mir Sultan Khan. He is one of the most mysterious figures in chess. He came out of nowhere only knowing Indian Chess. Without any opening theory he became one of the stongest players and even beat Capablanca.
It's amazing how Capablanca makes chess look simple, while we all know it is not at all. A true legend and my all-time favourite World Champion along with Karpov.
I’m currently reading Chess Fundamentals and when I got to this game, after 11.Rb1! , I remembered that I had already seen this game on this channel a year ago! so cool
Yes a very good classic with lots to learn from, especially with amateurs like myself that still want to learn and improve my games with other, less professional players. Good advice too, there at the end. Thanks to you and your partner too. Ps, And although my brought-up choice in music Classic Metal -- can have even atrocious lyrics, Epic (by Faith No More) actually had good lyrics for that epic game -- as long as listened to by chess lovers of the classics and fitted those lyrics to.that match -- which really was 'it'! Can't wait for more. Thx again.
Here in India, your videos are uploaded at around 12am to 1am.. and I am so used to them that I can sleep without watching them.. Brilliant work with this series.. Keep up the awesome content..
Thank you for the current standings :) Definitely adds intrigue, Alekhine's improvement for one, from when he first met Capablanca, to this tournament.
Agadmator.... I am a very big fan of ur videos... Ur videos are just everyday treat to the chess enthusiasts.... Probably ur channel has the most well decorated chess content on youtube.. Tal vs Jack Miller on your next achievement... Plz.... With love from India
Great game by Capa! Wonderful attack. On the gentleman resigning, I am playing a game on chess.com right now and I am up a whole rock but my opponent won’t resign. I guess he/she hopes for mistakes.
Nice rook/2pawns plan on the precipitated castel queen side! Ok Marshall said nice stuff on this frenchy by law, so i can imagine that he was not so bad, also even if a little bit old.
Janowski had two interesting plays to possibly defend the advance of the D pawn. Queen takes on e3, which was available for a while, or Knight back to g5, countering the pawn push with capture on e4. Perhaps I'll try those with an engine and see. Edit: Ok yea, neither works, the white Knight covers e3 (duh) and Knight back to g5 can be pushed back with the H pawn and then the plan just proceeds. Engine says Queen to d6 is the defense, before the pawn is pushed.
Hey agad, I've been a fan for about 1 and a half years and I love your channel. Keep it up. I'm only 12 years old and I have been trying to participate in as many tournaments as possible and trying to emulate Capablanca's game. I was wondering if you had any pointers to help me improve. Thankyou so much!!!
It would be nice to mention the critical moments in the game , so one can see what move was the loosing move. Because honstely I watch tell the end and can't figure out what janowski did wrong.
Send some comments and emojis to upset the opponents concentration, capitalise on any blunders and hopefully go on to an undeserved victory and a few more rating points in the lower orders😁
May be instead of Ng5, black could have tried developing h8 rook and use Nh8, Ng6,Ne7 maneuvering to kick the white's knight from e7. Not sure if there was enough time for four moves (one with rook+3 with knight)
Janowski was usually aggressive, but Capablanca played in a continuously attacking style uncharacteristic of him. He made the erstwhile contender look unprepared.
Agadmator has become like his own Chess culture. Here’s a list of Agadmatorisms I thought of. Please comment with any you can think of. Vast Knowledge That damn volume knob, “sorry about that” Why did he resign? Well.... Hello everyone (I almost left this off somehow!) Excellently Congratulations, you are an excellent... Feel free to pause the video It’s a passed pawn that’s also very fast
@Agadmator I know you must read many comments but I must ask a question that needs an answer for all your fans. When you pause and reach for your leg with your right hand and say "sorry about that" what are you actually doing? I thought maybe it was the doge but that doesn't make sense since i have seen him/her doing the back stoke on the couch at the same time. Please let us know. And yes I AM an EXCELLENT subscriber.
Well they're similar: both are lazy, excellent mastery of the endgame but I'd say Carlsen edges him with his ability to squeeze out wins from seemingly drawn positions.
Two different eras. While Capablanca is known for end game purely. Carlsen is the stronger end game player as he is the strongest player in the era of super computers. All the top GMs today are essentially as strong as Capa in end game if not stronger.
Magnus of course ... magnus can turn a losing position into winning ... watch a game between him and nakamura ... yassir and ashley said that he is losing and he won See a game where carlsen has less than 7 seconds in a (Somewhat) endgame where he sacrifice a queen against liren and won
@@tbhideciaintshowingup you cant compare too different eras and then say magnus is better..magnus also assimilated what his predecessors left behind..in his era Capablanca's games were held with higher regards than what magnus does today and this was just around the hypermodern era
Currently i am i very weak player at 542 rating i started earlier this week and i had one quick question for all the chess fanatics. When do i go for trades? Normally i wait until im up in material to go for multiple trades but i end up either evening up the game for my opponent or losing. Thanks in advance for the help :)
Janowski was vicious attacker and a brilliant player. But he was an unpopular chess master. Always feuding with the other masters. And as in the above game did not resign when in losing position hoping for a mistake by his opponent. This of course infuriated the other masters.
I do not agree with the statement regarding resigning. Depending on your skill and rating level, you should almost never resign. If a match with both players 2000+ play a game and one is up a rook or a piece with a winning position, you can usually resign. But if there is a match at 1500 or even lower, there is always a good chance your opponent will blunder and gift you a way back into the game.
As much as I agree at a high level that you resign when you're lost, I'm a 1700 player. If I'm down a whole rook and I'm playing for keeps, I'll play for tricks, who knows. I've seen people blunder rooks.
Today my brother got the all clear from his cancer. The day he was diagnosed he had stage 4b lymphoma (stage 5 being dead).

When I play a brilliant game on lichess, I know that have to wake up
How does it feel, though? Playing a great game, I mean

@@VinothKumar-zh7wx When they do that I promote all my pawns to knights and checkmate them with like 8 knights

I don’t want the capablanca saga to end, I love it! Coolest player ever
He's become one of my favorite players of all time very quickly from this saga. I love his story!
Capablanca is a proper noun and all names are capitalised to show respect.
Truly a beautiful game! Capablanca made poor Janowski look like an amateur. No discredit intended to Janowski, it just shows what a gifted player Capablanca really was.
Do you play the Marshall attack?
William Fusco No, the Theresa gambit! Lol
_Me and Capablanca have _*_a lot_*_ in common...._
_We're both men and know no opening theories =(_
Yeah, me too, I play just like Capablanca - one move at a time!
I think , Capa knows some openings by now....
You're both dead?
Are you from Cuba?
LOL! Thanks for showing what I also have in common with him . lol
I come from the same city of Capa, Havana, Cuba. Capa is my favorite Cuban, a Cuban genius in a science game.
This is one of the most beautiful of Capablanca's games. The way he artfully manipulated the board in this particular game just shows how much of a genius he was.
After seeing 31 videos of the KappaBlanca saga, i can now say everytime i hear or see Kappa i think of Capablanca thanks to these videos. Good job!
So simple, such genius. Capablanca doesn't get into fights he just wraps up the game without any fuss permitted. Amazing.
That notepad notes on standings of the players was something that proves how much grateful and sincere you are Antonio to all the subscribers suggestions and requests. Thank you very much Antonio👍. You are a true gentleman of excellent character we all would learn as days go by.
I voted for Capablanca Saga because I liked the name. Didn't know who he was.
White hill
Nope, it's Whitecape, and yeah he kinda has a cool name, but most of chess players have a cool name for some reason.
White hill would be Colinablanca and the name goes from cool to a little bit weird.
@@Szerbijn Yes, Whitehill is Colinablanca but it doesnt sound as weird as you might think, there are lots of people called Montenegro which means Blackmount and that name is also kinda cool, you see that name frecuently in characters from tv series.

I have a feeling that the mighty notepad will become a meme
Forgot to turn down my volume after listening to music on my phone. “HELLO EVERYONE!” 🤯
Happens to me all the time.....
I really enjoyed this one Antonio
Capablanca saga is the best of all the games, I'm very impressed with Capablanca and his brilliance that made me to do a digital illustration of him today. I'd be more than happy if this saga never ends.
Unlike Nimzovitch's "mysterious rook moves," those of Capablanca were very clear.
Capablanca was such a genius!!
Hi Agad,as you are covering the good old times maybe you could make a video about Mir Sultan Khan. He is one of the most mysterious figures in chess. He came out of nowhere only knowing Indian Chess. Without any opening theory he became one of the stongest players and even beat Capablanca.
Excellent game and easy to follow
Tremendous series, Capa has always been my favorite and enjoying this greatly...thanks...
11:45, Thank you for the advice it reminds me that this is a very noble game to play.
It's amazing how Capablanca makes chess look simple, while we all know it is not at all. A true legend and my all-time favourite World Champion along with Karpov.
Karpov modeled his style from Capablanca. Capa was his hero.
Capablanca's chess genius is just impossible to overestimate. From what I've watched on your channel, he was the Magnus Carlsen of his generation.
magnus carlsen is the capablanca of our generation😉
3 world champion's in the same tournament. Which tournament had the highest number of world champions..?
They've all had only one world champion
Well ... there is tournaments
Anand and carlsen and kramnik were there 😉😉
Tata steel Masters counts
1959 candidates tournament.. Mikhail Tal, Bobby Fischer, Tigran Petrosian, Vasily Smyssalov and Boris spassky.
@@narasimhanaik3854 Who is Smyssalov?
Love you agad ❤️
I really enjoy the series so far;) tnx
I absolutely love this series!

You got lazy
Can't wait for next
Masterfully played by Capablanca in his distinctive positional style!
That mighty notepad quote.. I love you man.
I believe Capablanca on his best day is better than any player to have ever lived.
I would say that Capablanca, Fischer, Kasparov, and Carlsen are all on a similar strength level, all in their primes.
Where's akiba rubinstein on the rankings? Ish?
Shaggy had to use 0.001% of his power to create the notepad glimpsed in this video - that's how mighty it is.
Capablanca parries faster than Janowski can attack.
Agadmator.... I am a very big fan of ur videos... Ur videos are just everyday treat to the chess enthusiasts.... Probably ur channel has the most well decorated chess content on youtube.. Tal vs Jack Miller on your next achievement... Plz.... With love from India
Looks like Janowski stepped in front of a buzzsaw.
Capablanca's calculations are spectacular 👌💯!!!
No, he didn't need to calculate, he have a very powerful intuition, he just simple sees the move that need to be made
All hail the mighty Notepad! 1:05
2:53 is it even stronger to play Qd4 immediatly?
Awesome work ❤️
That rook move kind of reminds me of Kramnik's Rg8 against Aronian in the Berlin candidates
Great game by Capa! Wonderful attack. On the gentleman resigning, I am playing a game on chess.com right now and I am up a whole rock but my opponent won’t resign. I guess he/she hopes for mistakes.
Oh my sweet summer child... D4 is coming!
I have never seen Capablanca opened other than e4 that led to Ruy Lopez opening.
Chess is better than life
Did you get Memed into not letting us search for moves anymore?
Nice rook/2pawns plan on the precipitated castel queen side! Ok Marshall said nice stuff on this frenchy by law, so i can imagine that he was not so bad, also even if a little bit old.
When he put the knight on d5 it was like he reached out and grabbed him by the throat.
#suggestion Wei, Yi x Fier, Alexandr - Aeroflot Open A - Round 2
This game was played today! Has a beatiful queen sacrifice!!
#Suggestion !! Can you show the blitz games tht r now playing between magnus n hikaru online #specially todays where hikaru blunders queen

So good to see Medo again in great shape. God bless you all...
i miss "let me just fix this, sorry bout that" :(
Nice hair cut agad😉
#suggestion quote to use for a Stockfish/Alpha/Leela game:
I propose to consider the question, "Can machines think?" - Alan Turing
excellent!
It would be nice to mention the critical moments in the game , so one can see what move was the loosing move. Because honstely I watch tell the end and can't figure out what janowski did wrong.
Dang if only I’ve seen this game 2 weeks ago i swear I had this exact same position except I didn’t play Rae1
#suggestion Fischer-Cardozo match 1957 game 8 Reminds me of Casablanca the slow, elegant positioning strangling the opponent.
Did you get the Tarrasch book?
Good advice about when to resign.
Is there a prize for the brilliant-ee?
I have a great talent for maneuvering myself into resignable positions inside 25 moves.

Why did he resign? Well....
Hello everyone (I almost left this off somehow!)
Excellently
Congratulations, you are an excellent...
Feel free to pause the video
It’s a passed pawn that’s also very fast
7:07 - "D4 is coming." What if black knight first moves to G5? D4 happens, Then black takes on E4 forking white queen and rook.
@Agadmator I know you must read many comments but I must ask a question that needs an answer for all your fans.

what a game.
Well not just the other player made the brilliant game🙂
In those times, it seems players prolonging the game even when they knew it was a completely lost position. Any thoughts ?
Better endgame player :
Capablanca or Magnus Carlsen?
Well they're similar: both are lazy, excellent mastery of the endgame but I'd say Carlsen edges him with his ability to squeeze out wins from seemingly drawn positions.
