    In the early spring of 1911, fifteen chess masters were invited to the seaside town of San Sebastian, Spain to compete in a round robin tournament. (1) Each player was invited based on a previous result. Every participant had won either first or second place in a chess master tournament, or two or more fourth place prizes. The turnout was a veritable who's who of chess mastery: Established masters such as Tarrasch, Frank James Marshall, Carl Schlechter, Geza Maroczy, David Janowski, and Amos Burn, and newer stars like Akiba Rubinstein, Aron Nimzowitsch, and Rudolph Spielmann were all in attendance. The tournament also marked the European debut of Jose Raul Capablanca, who had garnered fame for defeating Marshall in a match. The only noticeable absence was the world champion, Emanuel Lasker. As a result of this method of invitation, this tournament is often considered to be one of the strongest held in chess history. Games were played in the Gran Casino from February 20th to March 17th. The time control for the tournament stipulated that fifteen moves must be played each hour. Initially, Ossip Bernstein had objected to Jacques Mieses, the tournament organizer, about Capablanca's inclusion in the tournament based on one match victory. Capablanca proved himself first by defeating Bernstein in the first round, silencing his protests for the rest of the tournament. He then went on admirably to win clear first in the tournament, taking home the 5000 Franc prize, as well as winning the brilliancy prize. Rubinstein and Dr. Milan Vidmar shared second place behind Capablanca, while Marshall took clear fourth. The tournament was a landmark both in its strength and in heralding the arrival of Capablanca, a superb tournament player with a long career of victories ahead as well as becoming future world champion.

    Advice from an amateur comedian: consider, at around 7:50 using the expression "bedtime for bonzo". As an example, you could say "Black's bishop is hanging and it's bedtime for bonzo". Meaning, of course, that the game is essentially over. Just a thought.

    Great tactics to exchange opponent's light squared bishop and then attacking a weak pawn. I like the most the Rubistein move Kg2 where he protects the bishop with his king, since black has no longer light squared bishop, white's king is safe (fianchetto idea is keeping a bishop to protect castled king).

    The check was easy to spot (as it seems the only move that could possibly delay the A pawn) but the difficulty is seeing the check coming up before commiting to the prior moves. Looking far ahead is like looking down a telescope with ever narrower field of vision. Something moves in periphery and we might not see it...

    I believe the Nabokov novel "The Defence" (and subsequent movie, "the Luzhin Defence") is loosely based on Rubinstein

    If Capablanca really was lazy about studying opening theory, this game might cure him of that disease. As soon as he played Rc8, he was on his heels and never quite recovered.

    Rubinstein really took him to the cleaners in this one, what a nice game to have against such a prolific player like JRC.

    Who all know that The Great Akiba defeated both Lasker and Capablanca with the same move Qc1!!

    Qc1 was also Rubinstein's killer move against Lasker in 1909

      "A mere clash of titans" is an oxymoron. You could have said a veritable clash of titans. I expect a famous theoretical physicist to know that!

    I'm wondering if the excellent photo of Casablanca here has been colorized (I've seen it in other places in both in color and in black and white), or if it is simply one of the early color portraits. I believe color photography became commercialized in 1907. Casablanca, born in 1888, looks fairly young here.

    At the time of the video on Rubinstein's immortal game, the top contribution to the channel was USD 33.33. Today it is USD 2,500.00. An increase of about two orders of magnitude...

    i think Capablanca missed the in between move bishop captures e5 and did not see it until Akiba played queen c1, because as i calculated the moves it was the move i missed too and most people will miss it as you would think you have to recapture the queen .....
