I feel like the white move Queen takes h8 should have been analysed during the second game. It has the potential to be a devastating move on every turn, but black's moves perfectly consider it and defend against it with each move. Had he not made those precise moves, Qxh8 could have won the game.
25:00 Man I was looking at rc5 but missed kb8. Still +2.1 though because the continuation trades the d pawn for the h pawn and you have 2 passed connected pawns.
It wins eventually. There is no way to reposition the black queen to defend the b8 square off checks (which is why the idea works at 14:52 but is just trading the queen and both rooks at 15:08 (which would still leave white in a probably winning endgame). After Qxh8 I believe Rb8 is forced after which you play Rf8, Qc7 forced and then just trade off the rook and the queen and enter an endgame a rook and pawn up

Easy. Everything is easy if it's properly explained and you have enough practice.

Actually, double check still only counts for one check in 3 check. At least on chess.com.

What is amazing is Capablanca was all of 13 when his game against Corzo was played!
Video is great. Content is exactly what we want. The audio however at times is scuffed.
Are you guys ever going to do some kind of review or commentary or something for Chess 2: The Sequel? Do you even know chess has a sequel?
14:52 isn't Qxh8 a quick way to mate, or am I not seeing something(probably)

Wasn't there mate at 14:40 Qxh8 Rxh8 Rf8+ Rxf8 Rxf8+ Qc8 Rxc8 mate

Get this man a real barber
Enrique? Always thought his first name was Juan but I guess it's a Spanish name so it's probably Enrique Juan Corzo
Enrique was Juan's brother. In some databases this game is attributed to Juan
Was that Karen asking what piece was taken?

Spencer trying to be funny for a change.
