To those of you who read the description: You are an excellent subscriber! :)
The St Petersburg Tournament of 1914 featured the joint winners of the 1914 All Russian Championship and players who had won at least one major tournament. There were the veterans Blackburne and Gunsberg, established masters such as Tarrasch, Bernstein, Janowski, Nimzowitsch, Alekhine and Marshall as well as the World Champion Lasker and his two most prominent rivals, Rubinstein and Capablanca.
The tournament was divided into two sections. The first stage from the 21st April to the 6th of May was an all-play-all event with the first five finishers proceeding into the second stage which ran from the 10th to the 22nd of May. This second stage was a double round all-play-all with the scores from the preliminaries being carried over to the final.
Prizes amounted to 1200, 800, 500, 300 and 200 Rubles. Each non-prizewinner received 20 Rubles for every game won and 10 Rubles for every drawn game.
A brilliancy prize was being considered for Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch, 1914 after the 5th round's finish, but more than 2 rounds later, it was awarded a 2nd brilliancy prize as the runner-up to the Capablanca vs O Bernstein, 1914 coup.
The main source for this collection was the St. Petersburg 1914 International Chess Tournament book by Dr Siegbert Tarrasch. ISBN 0-939433-17-6.

#capablancastory
A long standing legend claims that Russian Tsar Nicholas II, who had partially funded the tournament, formally conferred the title 'Grandmaster' to the five finalists: Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Tarrasch and Marshall. Chess historian Edward Winter has questioned this, stating that the earliest known sources that support this story are an article by Robert Lewis Taylor in the June 15, 1940, issue of The New Yorker, and Marshall's autobiography 'My 50 Years of Chess' (1942).
Thank you for expanding my vast knowledge.
Tsar Nicholas II was a coward and abdicated the throne of Russia, ran
They are all grandmasters if you go by how "norms" work. You have 3 world champions in those 5.
Take a shot every time Capablanca goes for Ruy-Lopez.
Maciej Sawala id be drunker than alekhine
Until this moment I always heard "Real Opus" and I couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks :D
most hardcore drinking game
He was born Spanish after all
I would have blundered the end game so many times from either side. That was masterful.
The Lazy Cuban? Me thinks not.
Look at that end game. It was like a relentless barrage in a seemingly drawn position. Excellent persistence and perseverance by Capablanca.
Props to Lasker too for keeping his nerve against such a fierce attack.
"for those of you who have listened and came Back, you are an excellent listener of epic music." 😂😂😂
Right, great music, but I couldn't wait till the end of the song to see this game.
😂😂😂😂
Guys, the audio of the track is in Sanskrit, which is an ancient indian language..The Lines translate to:
"Oh Holy Mother, please take me from darkness to the path of Light and goodness.
Peace Peace."
:)
Yeah, I laughed so hard. Love his sense of humour. :-D
Left me crying man hahahahhahahahhahhahhah
When it's the end game but there is another 10 minutes you know you're up for something
I love how you always say "Congratulations you are an excellent...", so congratulations you are an excellent chess commentator :)
I discovered today that you can make a chain of 5 players from Steinitz to Carlsen. Steinitz played Lasker, who played Botvinnik, who played Karpov, who played Carlsen.
@Joaquin Stubbs not infinite
Who would be next
I have a real soft spot for Lasker. Might have something to do with his Manual of Chess which I have had since I was a kid. I read somewhere that if you study Lasker's games you don't get a lot of brilliancies and stunning combos. What you get instead is the spirit of the chess fighter. Following his method will make you a very difficult opponent to beat.
15:32 freaked me out so much, idk why
It freaked me enought that I immediately knew what you wre talking about... just a glitch
not a glitch, but an illegal move with a sound to let you know.
I think it proves how concentrated you are and that a minimal noise causes a bad reaction.
Me too lol
Antonio Radic has become so influencial among chess bloggers that you see the rest trying to catch up. No day goes by without seen other sites posting Capa games. Capa saga has been very successful . Thank you for your dedication Antonio.
The irresistible force meets the immovable object! LOL
“Capablanca is not interested in a draw against the World Champion. Why would he, after all he’s Capablanca.” Haha, very true and that’s what I call sheer hubris and paisan could back it up.
Love the capablanca saga agad!
Thanks!
Thank you for video, very interesting
And suddenly the guy who uploaded the video with the epic music will see 378000 more views in one day. I can imagine his surprise 😲😲😲😵😵😵!!
Lasker is a monster
Just wanted to say, I'm playing chess again... after a pause of almost 10 years ! I subscribed to Lichess and I almost went to a rapid competition this Sunday... Don't feel quite ready yet... But playing sure enhances following your channel !! I guess I'm not just here for the show anymore :)
Lasker on Capablanca ... “I have known many chess players, but among them there has been only one genius - Capablanca!”
You’ve reignited my love to chess and made me a better player and for that i really thank you and wish you the best
Thank you for giving the option of not having any music.
I tire of youtube, adverts & media in general trying to manipulate the way I feel rather than offering me an authentic experience of feeling that way.
#suggest i want to see ur fav game between tal and keres that u said tal sacrificed 3 pieces to get a draw in a losing position... after the capablanca saga of course
czcams.com/video/9o_zC-42JaA/video.html
2nd game ever?? How do you know that they did not play any secret games online??
What, with two tin cans and a string? LOL
@@_Cheerio r/wooosh
Dev Pandey he isn’t joking though. he actually doesn’t understand that they didn’t have computers
@@_Cheerio Maybe, but I don't think anyone's that dumb lol
So I am not the only one to whom YT recommended one of the supposed Fischer online games from 2000.
Excelent listener of epic music !! 😂😂😂 COME OOOOOON hahah
I am an excellent listener of epic music
Once there is only 7 pieces left (75. Nxg5+), it is a tablebase draw and remains a tablebase draw. No blunders.
You are forgetting that human beings are not computers and make mistakes..all the time..
So 73 was wrong?
It's amazing how such a basic question can't yet be known. The rook has at least one point short of the pieces and they are in the hands of Capablanca, the end game demon. Chess will never be tamed.
Thanks for the vid, A.
What I love in Chess :
You can learn a lot ,even from games more than 100 years old :)
This Capablanca saga is getting so lit! I can't wait for the next video! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, Cabablanca is the most player I enjoy his game
#suggestion Akiba Rubinstein saga
Vast knowledge 0:00
First move 1:11
I love the epic music so much, it actually inspired me to make a playlist of epic music
Great video. It was so funny when you said "You are an excellent listener of epic music"
I am glad you do not include the music in your videos. It would be quite over the top and definitively spoil your beautiful and nuanced storytelling.
God, i fucking love agad so much, best chess channel on youtube period.
Thanks for the video Antonio. Congratulations 🎉 on winning your chess club championship! Could you go over your games? I really enjoyed the previous ones you went over . Thanks! #suggestion
One like alone for the #Matrix reference. Great video!
I came as soon as I saw the notification as I'm an excellent subscriber (and I also read the description)
Antonio, you used a Bruce Lee quote for the video title. You are now officially a Chess dragon
This might be the greatest endgame I''ve ever watched
One of the best games I’ve seen. Thanks for u
The content.
this was truly enjoyable to watch...thank you
wow that was one heck of an endgame.
Awesome, in all respects. Thank you very much sir!
That end game was exhausting lol
Love ❤ the clash of styles and approach to the game.
Capa, saga best one yet, still a lot to watch.
18:07 is an instructive moment. If the bishop moves, then ...Rxg6! fxg6 is a fortress draw. Unless your name is Sam Shankland of course
Awesome reference to The Matrix in the title!!!
i.imgur.com/tdQiiGC.gifv
Like the awesome lord of the rings references in other videos
Both played brilhantly, but Lasker is so fucking resourceful that it never fails to amazes me.
Great minds and a great game
one minute in....gotta check out the epic music before the game.....BRB
Thanks! The more I learn about both chess in general, and Emanuel Lasker specifically, the more I respect him. On another note - is it just me, or does Capablanca's facial expression seem very reminiscent of Al Pacino's Micheal Corleone in The Godfather??? tavi.
Lasker has found the appropriate barber I see.
i start playing the music on the pause, the sync is awesome xD
The best of the this video " so Laker played a nice HUMAN MOVE" 😂😂
Hello Everyone! I am actually listening to the epic music!! :D thanks for that
19:28 -- Capablanca doesn't have a forced win that I can see, but, if he had played only a few moves further, he could have arrived a few situations in which Lasker is reduced to a single response to avoid eventual checkmate, and they begin with Ng3, (Lasker: any rook move on 6th rank), Nh5. --Capablanca is thus threatening to exchange his knight for the black pawn. (Lasker: as before, any rook move on 6th rank), NxP, KxN, f6+, Kg6 (only viable move for a draw), f7, RxB+ (only viable move for a draw). After Nh5, Lasker could push g6 instead, but these also lead to blunder opportunities.
Essentially, after fifty moves of general screwing around, Capablaca only needed to screw around for two more moves to see if Lasker would have either his rook or king in the wrong position.
Hey Agad, thanks for the shout out! Love your channel. Do you have any recommendations for good books for beginners? So many out there, don't want to waste my time with bad or extremely outdated ones. Thank you!
FWIW, the final position of this game is a tablebase draw. One easy and quick way to show this is as follows:
1. Go to the online tablebase site syzygy-tables.info
2. Make sure that "White to move" is selected.
3. Enter the FEN position "6k1/6p1/1r1BK3/5P2/4N3/8/8/8" in the text box below the board.
4. Click "Set FEN". The evaluation will appear on the right.
I'll leave the initial endgame position as an exercise for the reader, as no tablebases exist for that many pieces. :)
I heard the epic song and came back to see the match...
The names on that list...all greats in their own rights
The doctor Lasker defended again
@Oissev Onos : I actually like Lasker a lot
After listening to that epic music i am fully in mood to watch this marvel
7-pieces syzygy tablebases were solved somewhat recently (a couple months ago) and they are on lichess. Stockfish gives +1.1 but this isn't checkmatable (because the tablebase would give the answer immediately otherwise) unless on move 101 white blunders and plays Nf6+
Agadmator have a good taste in music as well👌👌👌
This Capa Saga is just fantastic, you learn so much, its purely interesting and it displays boths extraordinary personalities, although I consider Capablanca to be the best and favorite chess player, I definitely enjoy watch Lasker.
In my opinion, these are the top 5 chess players of all time:
1. Capablanca
2. Fischer
3. Lasker
4. Kasparov
5. Morphy
magnus would wipe the floor with all them ;)
@@arnoldo8642 Imagine Capa in his prime suddenly being in our time, and realised how much money is at stake in chess, and as we know that Capa was lazy and did not study that much theory, he would have learned it intensively, then I think Carlsen would have been totally lost. And Carlsen got coached by Kasparov, so he should first deal with him before getting to the best of the best ;) Ehm, you forgot that there is a certain Fischer somewhere waiting to give him a little beating as well...
@@MrHari232 haha nah i agree though with todays knowledge capa would most likely give carlsen a run for his money but i think even more so fischer because his dedication to chess was impressive and some might even say insane. still though i think carlsen might come out victorious considering the way he has stayed number 1 for so long in this era where all the other top player also have engine analysis which makes everyone at the top nowadays extremely strong. that pretty much speaks for itself.
@@arnoldo8642 I wouldn't like to make a discussion out of this because everyone has a different point of view. Nevertheless, you avoid the fact that if Fischer, Capa, Lasker would have been active in this era with all the engines and knowledge that is present, and again not to forget the prices in chess today as a motivation to be the best, to include and combine their capabilities with nowadays possibilites, Carlsen is not somebody who would really make the difference compared to them, when we look at it objectively.
At his prime any of this players could give Carlsen a run for his money . The only requirement would be to up date their game.
Unfortunaly as long as I know only two extrardinary players had faced each other in their prime for the championship title. Karpov and Kasparov. The rest has been Champions past their prime against younger opponents. Probably Capa and Alexander Alekhine were both in their prime.
Chess of the highest level and an endgame for the ages. To me Capa was, no doubt, the best in the world in 1914.
I don’t think capa was the best until Atleast a bit after this
I think for a bit longer Lasker was a better player
Great defense by the old lion Lasker!
Why would he after all he is capablanca.... Loved it
Excellent game. Very enjoyable video.
Did anyone enter the position in the 7-men tablebase? This should be solved perfectly, no super computer required.
I did. It's a straight draw from the moment there are 7 men, and Lasker played the correct drawing moves.
But could there have been a more favorable way the position could have been simplified since the start of the endgame? I don't know.
#suggestion... Can you show some of the better games of the second phase other than the Capa games also ?
I must say, I was watching this video while playing the music
Ran it a bit in Stockfish 10. It said white had a slight advantage at the beginning of the endgame but eventually it was a draw.
But how broken are rooks? Lasker and his rook held the positions like a beast
Thanks for your epic contribution. May your name go down in the annals of chess history. You once quoted Mikhail Tal (above board) saying something to the effect of' Capablanca's lightweight system has long been refuted (or are outdated?)' My question is, where can I find comparisons of how different systems/styles have evolved over the years. If anyone could point to such a resource I would be grateful.
Rohan Malolan:super game by capablanca and lasker
Beautiful music,...thanks.
Nice slight toward modern players and their reliance on engines
I want to enjoy the show so epic music can wait after the game, I hope I am still an excellent subscriber
You are NOT
congrats on your tournament win Antonio
How about Rb8 check, after rook captures on b2. You have to block, if blocked with the knight, you win the knight. And if blocked with bishop you win the rook on b2
Thumbs up for Lasker.
Here is a #suggestion Anand saga. I know he is not retired yet but its impossible for him to achieve anything that can eclipse what he have achieved already.
Also for the current generation of us chess enthusiasts Anand creates this very fascinating bridge from Tal to kasporav to Magnus Carlsen.
Interesting thought my man, thanks for sharing.
I am also Big fan of vishy
Flamboyant Thug He is really one of the all time best
No, he doesn't Anand is arguably the most unimpressive champion since the title was created. A saga about him would be very boring. What's his highest achievement? Even the matter in which he won the title (not beating the champ, even though he would beat him the year after) is a detriment to his legacy. I think folks that appreciate Anand as a WC are either nationalist Indians or folks who don't understand chess.
Vishy is a very very strong grandmaster, don't get me wrong, but he is no impressive champion by any means. Anand's biggest advantage was his advanced preparation abilities, using very - at the time- advanced computers and computer training abilities. He gets clobbered when you catch him out of book and that is the general strategy of his opponents: get him out of book. When he was young, this was hard as his memory was sharp. Now though, it's still difficult but a little bit easier.
@@avishekkumarjha4578 poo in the loo pajeet
what a game!
Nikad nisam vidio nekog ko toliko zna o sahu nevjerojatno
This game reminds me of an end game of stockfish vs alphazero, not a specific game, just the methodical repetition of positions in the endgame.
7:19 Capablance has B-c1 R-b1 B-d2 and wins the exchange but he missed it (also Agadmators).
but bishop would be pinned
@@jakubnowak649 Yes Jakub good heads up I actually noticed my error right after I posted.
Epic indeed
*If you haven’t found something strange during the day it hasn’t been much of a day.*
I am an excellent listener of great music!!
I am in mood bring it on.
Last time I was this quick to a video Casablanca was still world champion.
At about the 11 minute mark, I think white should have played his knight to e6 and bishop to f8.
1:01 😂😂😂
I listened to some Pantera, Slipknot and Rammstein to get in the mood for this amazing game
Honestly, this endgame is so far over my head it might as well be in space. I'd have offered a draw 50 moves before the end, as either side!
Back, im back, yes im back, no my back is hurt, yes back to back
@agadmator for Syzygy endgame tablebases, after 75.Nxg5+ it's a draw.
