If yoi don't play chess professionally, you will not be able to feed your family, and even if you are you were a professional player, make sure that you would not be paid sufficiently.
The pro Capablanca crowd give me hope that young people respect the past. This guy analize his games , critizice his moves and the computer agree with him. He critizice the Lasker move e3 shows the right move and the computer agree with him. that happens 90 years ago. Capa `e Grande!
If Capablanca was here, he would be the first one to criticize his own moves and using computer to challenge his own play... What's wrong with that? Is this insulting to you, that someone takes his very own time to enlighten the less diligent of us? :-)
@@TheCzechmate007 Did you realise that this guy was praising Capablanca's self criticism and analysis, "This guy analyze his games , criticise his own moves and the computer agree with him." What's your comment about?
I have improved so much by watching ur videos that I finally defeated magnus age 10 and my lichess classical rating is 1840 thank you for ur work agadmator
more of capablanca versus lasker please, i wait everyday to see more... Chess was never a passion to me but since i saw a video on this channel it became something that i love more and more everyday Believe it or not , it was in this position that i realised i saw all of your videos
#Suggestion you could do a Lasker series after finishing Capablanca's. He was a very powerful grandmaster way ahead of his time and it would be interesting to analyze his multi-stylist approach
15:07 - In fact, the line is a little bit longer and complex: Instead of ...Qd1+, black plays ...Qb1+ which leads to Kg2 Qe4+ f3! - that's the move you need to see in the beggining to know for sure that you're winning - ...Qc1+ Rxc1 Bxf6 exf6 and white is up a piece. If ...Rd2+ Bxd2 Qe2+ Kh3 Qxd2 Rxd8+ and black is lost. And if ...Qe2+ first, then Kh3 Qf1+ Kh4 Rd4+ f4 Rxf4+ Bxf4 and again, black is completely lost.
I would love for you to cover the game between Capablanca and Treybal at Carlsbad in 1929, it's my favorite game and would love to hear your thoughts on it! If not to cover it, I'm sure you would enjoy seeing the game!
Did anybody else notice? The worst thing was that, for nearly two days, every time we refreshed Agadmator's page to check if a new video had finally been uploaded, we were greeted by the ironic title of the last video . . . "F is for Frustration." Yeah, tell me about it.
this is a very good example of difference between passive and active learning. no matter how many times you watch something being done, you have to do it yourself in order to improve.
I've studied the opening a bit, but realized early on that memorizing all those variations was not going to happen for me, so I learned the opening principles and have had a great time playing against those who only know how to play by rote, with little understanding of why those particular moves are played..
Well principles... week ago I had a choice... give a pawn with black having a passed pawn or keep the c3-B4 pawn chain and knight stacked on A2... impossible to really extract... it was utter pain to play it. but I am not sure the other choice was better.
Agadmator: ...apologies for going over 24hrs without a video. Finegold (CCSCA) channel: ...goes two weeks between videos, posts months-old stuff. -- We never had it so good.
...of causa: you are very right about the principles in chess and in general in life but i wish we would see more of the "modern" openings on the highest level in pro-chess - i know it is too much on stake ("money for nothing!") for the players these days...
Absolutely. But I might add that while Alekhine won 1927 Jose definitely had a much, much better time in Buenos Aires. Antonio should talk a little about that.
At 15:09, why not Qb1+, seems black will be able to win material if R or B blocks with Rd1+ and if Kg2, Qe4+ should lead to a draw or exchange of Queens with black still in a good position.
@@inlovewithi Then there's much much more superior. Then there's much much much more superior. Then much much much much much much much much much much more superior.
I don't understand why the pawn is poison... on 14:56 you didn't check black queen B1 check. You get to this wired position, black can give multiple checks to the white king - and than maybe exchange the queens of the board. Not sure is useful, can't see how it loses the game.
Great vid! Love this series..... Capa missed a win late in the game! After 34. Bf4 Capa could have played 34. ...Rd1! and ground out the win. Capa is the most patient of players.
Very strong players.. it seems that lasker didnt have a good opening with the dark bishop but still capable to hold his positions.. very strong lasker,
We saw some pretty early draws in the 2018 world championship games between Carlsen and Caruana but I think against a lesser opponent Magnus would continue.
It's actually a draw after qb1+ but only if Capablanca plays perfect moves, otherwise black is just lost. For example, after qe4+ and f3, black would blunder the game if he goes Qe2+ instead of qc2+. Its a complicated line to calculate I guess. And Capablanca is known to be lazy to calculate if he already found a safe alternative.
#Suggestion Will there be Videos added to the Lasker Playlist?... a Lasker Saga would be awesome. After all he was the longest reigning world champion in chess history with 27 years. Even accounting for the uncontested years because of World War I intervention, he remained far longer World chess champion than Gary Kasparov (15) or Mikhail Botvinnik (13)
Capablanca challenged him in 1911 and he did not accept the challenge..... he got cold feet..... Otherwise Capablanca would have broken more records and Lasker would not have been the longest champion.
#Suggestion for the next series, do the voting process early so that more people can vote and enjoy the ongoing series at the same time. Moreover you'll also get time for preparations and we get the next saga without much delay... This is the good stuff, and we want more of that.
Hello agadmator's dude i like your all videos almost . Move on always about youtube things.Best regards Mustafa ,Mersin(city). Start Carlsen and Kasparov please .
Does anyone know what Agadmator is doing when he says "sorry about that" 0:47 ? I hear this frequently in his videos. Always after the first few moves....but nothing seems wrong to me before that. Thanks!
Magnus' is famous for looking at old classic - he says that he doesn't agree to ignore them and just trust the computer. He also only starts the computer after first thinking himself about a chess problem because else "you stop using your own brain". An endgame for example you can perfectly learn from the old legends as Fischer because the lever of endgame a human is capable to play is something human's were mastering even before the computer age. And last not least to outplay your opponent or more precise to create a position where you know your opponent is not comfortable with is something where general HUMAN chess ideas is helping you much more - as computer preparation anyway ends after some 20-30 moves and you have to start playing chess on your own, at the board, with (or against) the clock.
Is it a not devolped piece if is not moved? I wonder.. Because of how strong was that black square bishop at the end.. Perhaps depends on the context.... a piece could have a lot of potencial in its initial position. If you know exactly when has to be moved as the great lasker did.
As he mentioned, the principal issue with doing what Lasker did (huge Lasker fan btw, Lasker sweep,) was that it allowed the white bishop free range over the board early on, which positionally translated into the endgame that we saw. The computer agrees, bringing out the bishop was the better call.
@Oissev Onos i see. I guess it is just me that placed myself in that position and was happy with a draw against Capa. Obviously Lasker has higher ambitions =)
Who else questioned their life decisions when you heard Agad was busy with real world stuff...
Hahaha.. I don't think so..
@Virasman In fact, probably he was playing chess at the bar on a nice real board :-D
I questioned my life decisions after he showed what would have resulted had I taken the pawn
I felt indirectly savaged, like losing my queen to a pawn before 10 moves in... Which happens more than I would like to admit.
He probably had some errands to run. Pay some bills maybe.
Hahaha. Real world stuff. As if chess is a fantasy. Love this guy.
If yoi don't play chess professionally, you will not be able to feed your family, and even if you are you were a professional player, make sure that you would not be paid sufficiently.
Lasker and Capablanca met for the first time.
C: lets play chess

#Suggestion you could do a Lasker series after finishing Capablanca's. He was a very powerful grandmaster way ahead of his time and it would be interesting to analyze his multi-stylist approach
Please do a series on Lasker or Phillodor. I would love that.
I love spending my birthday watching ur videos. Thank you agadmator :)
15:00
What if Black plays Qb1 ? Then Rc1 Rd1 check, Rxd1 Qxd1 with check and Bishop can now capture queen when king moves.
I was gonna say the same xD
Why would white play Rc1? It doesnt make sense lmao
15:07 - In fact, the line is a little bit longer and complex:
Instead of ...Qd1+, black plays ...Qb1+ which leads to Kg2 Qe4+ f3! - that's the move you need to see in the beggining to know for sure that you're winning - ...Qc1+ Rxc1 Bxf6 exf6 and white is up a piece.

What is Agad's favorite coffee?
You know it, CAPABLANCA.
You'd think with all these videos I watch I would get better at chess but NOPE
You need to keep playing and learn from your mistakes

Would love to see the highlights of the Capablanca v. Alekhine world championship match
Oissev Onos did he confirm he’d do a series on me?
That Lasker guy was a really tough opponent !
Capa blanca is litteraly my favorite gm from before
I would love to see analisys of Magnus vs Bill Gates game :)
I'm starting to think Antonio is just saying sorry and putting his hand under his desk without actually changing the volume. He does it so quick now.
i hope we start the Alekhine saga next:) It's spot on after Capablanca
Absolutely. But I might add that while Alekhine won 1927 Jose definitely had a much, much better time in Buenos Aires. Antonio should talk a little about that.
Can you make a video about the excellent chess principles which I can show my friends that say they‘re really bad?
13:46 he plays bishop to "E" 7
i love that moment :D
"Captures captures"
Terrific Game. Capablanca seems to be lucky to have an advantage in this saga. Lasker is equally wicked Jackal.
3:15 - "bishop-cruiser operational"
*(Voice of starcraft battlecruiser)*
At 15:09, why not Qb1+, seems black will be able to win material if R or B blocks with Rd1+ and if Kg2, Qe4+ should lead to a draw or exchange of Queens with black still in a good position.

Beyond weird that the World Champion in his first game with white in a title defense would come up with something like e3.
Very strong players.. it seems that lasker didnt have a good opening with the dark bishop but still capable to hold his positions.. very strong lasker,
We saw some pretty early draws in the 2018 world championship games between Carlsen and Caruana but I think against a lesser opponent Magnus would continue.

This is another sneaky way to bring up tho he didn't know any opening theories

God bless this channel.
It’s ok for no videos because you are an excellent CZcamsr
the last days were definitely frustrating
13:48, bishop to eee7
Wait, so this isn't real?
But this is my favorite bit of the day!
Capablanca can actually take the a2 pawn. In the third variation shown by you, instead of Qd1+ he can play Qb1+, Kg2 Qe4+ and the game continues
It's actually a draw after qb1+ but only if Capablanca plays perfect moves, otherwise black is just lost. For example, after qe4+ and f3, black would blunder the game if he goes Qe2+ instead of qc2+. Its a complicated line to calculate I guess. And Capablanca is known to be lazy to calculate if he already found a safe alternative.

Hello agadmator's dude i like your all videos almost .
Move on always about youtube things.Best regards Mustafa ,Mersin(city).

We see that at this time,, pushing pawns was not so important and taking space was not that critical as nowadays.

Does anyone know what Agadmator is doing when he says "sorry about that" 0:47 ? I hear this frequently in his videos. Always after the first few moves....but nothing seems wrong to me before that. Thanks!
I think that an advanced chess player can learn many valuable lessons by studying the games of the old masters.
Magnus' is famous for looking at old classic - he says that he doesn't agree to ignore them and just trust the computer. He also only starts the computer after first thinking himself about a chess problem because else "you stop using your own brain". An endgame for example you can perfectly learn from the old legends as Fischer because the lever of endgame a human is capable to play is something human's were mastering even before the computer age.

@Mofa Laufkultur there's a time and place for both- Alekhine was a human with the brain of a computer
15:03 what happens when black Qb1#? I cant see how white can avoid trading queens or perpetual on e4
#suggestion can we get more Paul Morphy game please?? Like the vids continue like this!

don't think that Magnus would play the final position for 50 more moves

Is it a not devolped piece if is not moved? I wonder.. Because of how strong was that black square bishop at the end.. Perhaps depends on the context.... a piece could have a lot of potencial in its initial position. If you know exactly when has to be moved as the great lasker did.
