To those of you who read the description: You are an excellent subscriber! :)
Play in the match began on March 25 and ended on April 5. In the first game Kostic resorted to the Petroff's Defense and a long-drawn-out battle for position ensued, which, after fifty-one moves, was adjourned until the following Monday. The position then had all the appearance of a draw, but Capablanca, with the infinite patience that characterizes his at all times simple style, applied himself to the task of working out a win, and in this he was successful upon resumption of play. In the meantime, the second game, opened by Kostic with an Italian Game, had been decided in one session in favor of Capablanca, who accepted the gift of a Pawn and won expeditiously after all of the pieces, had been exchanged.

He is CM??

Yes, he is
What does CM stand for and how good is it compared to for example FM?
Man, this player is good , someone Get this man a opening book !!!
He died .
If he was that bad at openings, how did he get to so many middle games and win games? I suggest he didn't need any opening books.
@@droceretik see all previous capablanca games by Agadmator when he was young
@@rohanjadhav3225 But his name and games live on forever
Double top comments. Nice.
Capablanca slowly slowly creeps his way into a good position that's how he won all his games very sneaky very clever
Back when Fischer played Spassky I read about chess and first heard of the legendary Capa. Now I see what the fuss was about, so thanks for this excellent series.
I didn't watch Agadmator's video for 2-3 days and my lichess rating dropped from 2100 to 1800
Got to be kidding me. Lol funny comment. Yeah I missed him too
That is a lesson for you always watch Agadmator's videos

It's over three years and i am wowing at this series. Capa was a machine.
This is game #27 of "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings." This is another example of strong players playing the best moves in a drawn game. Capablanca puts them in increasingly difficult positions until they blunder.
5:27 -- The tepid g3 is where Kostić's lack-of-awareness (to Capablanca's queen-side tactic) is apparent. The easiest defense of the weak b-pawn is Nc2 followed by Nb4, after which the b-pawn is hidden behind the knight, and the only way Capablanca could dislodge it is by trading his dark-square bishop away. (After Nc2, Rb6, Nb4, Black is only very slightly better in a drawish position.) For the next several moves (such as at 5:57 and even later at 7:57 via knight captures instead of the played rook captures), Kostić still had the opportunity to play Nc2, lock down that side, and free up his rooks. Instead, his poor, ill-used knight became the centerpiece of his opponent's winning maneuvers.
11:20 -- Kf3 works just as well as Kf1 (the position will be identical after the pieces are exchanged, with the king capturing on f2, and while it seems like a king on f3 would be exposed to the other rook swinging over, there's no time because the king-adjacent bishop is undefended).
You would have beaten Capablanca or given him a good contest?
Bacause of you I was able to improve my Elo from 1200 to 1400

@@hansderhalbe9229 Für jemanden mit einem 2000 rating mag es einfach erscheinen, aber für jemanden ,der evtl. noch nicht so lange spielt, ist das ziemlich gut.
me tooooo
How's the chess going? You about 2000 now?
Capablanca literally choke the life outta of white! Damn! That was a painful position!
Capablanca has taught me how important the endgame is. To find the slightest advantage in the beginning and trade pieces to an end game. Then use my greater knowledge of endgame to win. It has really helped my play a lot.
Take a look at the book "From the Opening Into the Endgame" by Edmar Mednis.
Oh, and also "From the Middlegame Into the Endgame", also by Edmar Mednis.
This game was drawn almost the entire way until white blundered at the very end. Capablanca would mostly fatigue his opponents because he refused to settled for anything but a win. I believe his true genius was transitioning small advantages into the end games that he preferred. I'm reading "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings" and its not usual for his games to be riddled with errors from both players. Although, for the most part, Capablanca makes less errors or less serious errors than his opponents.
Jose Raul Capablanca was Bobby Fischer CHESS hero and also mine. Excellent comments and analysis of CHESS history. Thanks for all your help and support.
can't wait for capablanca v lasker
Me too:)
Thank you again for the excellent analysis... but also the occasional sidebar commentary and exploration of hypothetical lines. Listening, learning, and studying here is definitely improving my game.
“Try to find the winning move”
Me:”ok lets try”
Also me: *doesnt find it*
“Congratulations if you found it you have definitly studied end games”
I never even had a chance… wasted time…
If you tried, you didn't waste time. If seeing brilliant moves from GM's was easy, we'd all be beating Alpha Zero on the reg.
Did you pause the video though?
I also found rook to F1 and took a sip of my water while waiting. Less water and more concentrating for me in future
Congratulations! You are an excellent sipper of water while finding best moves.
@@jeremyhulbert3343lol well said xD
Yes indeed also saw that F1 is way better also with some nasty discoveries in the future
Rook. *
Kostic got beaten so badly he didn't even get a colorized photo upgrade. Colorized photos are for closers only. Put. That. Colorized. Photo. Down.
Brilliant opening play by Capa leaves Kostic in a hapless , hopeless position.
It's amazing how his middle game always leads to him being in a driver's seat for the end game, which he plays impeccably
Hey, you're back. The day is just not the same without an agadmator vid. Also glad to see the great Capa back. Never tire of his games.
Outstanding game
Same pieces in end but positional disparity huge .
How?! The video goes 18 mins and you commented 1 minute ago. And the video was released 2 minutes ago.....
@@banani1236 its very old game reviewed by 100s of people on net .
At 8:22 Kostic’s knight to D1 maneuver opened up an attack on the E6 pawn and Casablanca moved his bishop so that the roll would protect it
At 16:02 the more precise idea would be Rf7, I believe.
Where follows:
a4 (forced) Kxa4 Rc2 Kb3 Rd2 Rf6 and white is in Zugzwang and will lose a piece and the game.
I'm really enjoying the Capablanca saga.
Agadmator I just wish to say thank you, your channel did so I started chess and 7 months later I am rated 1750 , again gotta say thank you and wish you the best of luck with the channel and with your chess

Okay. You can't tell me that Capablanca does not look like Michael Corleone from the godfather in that thumbnail.
I think this game is in the excellent book 'My System'
This position has never again been repeated ..I like that 😊
Borislav!
Baby don’t hurt me… 🎵 🎶
Aint nothin better than a good zugzwang and who better than professor raul
Love from Serbia!!!
You played great at the finals!!! gg
Looking forward to see the world championship vs Lasker!! :) Finally!
Capablanca saga , tnx agad
In the end instead of kf1 Kf3 was more suitable. Black had to.move the boshop or defend or exchange right away. If black goes bh4 than white can play rook e5 and thhan Rf5 a nice square
At 16:00, tell me if i am wrong but there might be is a reason to wait longer , because the rook cannot go on c2 anymore, and as you said the rook cannot go on d2 either (because of Ke2 Bf4 Kxd4 Rxf2 Rxf2 Rxf2 ("captures captures captures") and you're up a rook with check). So if you play after Re2 Rf8 for example this is the real monster zugzwang :)
Great quote above the board, considering who said it, and about whom.
At 6:27 if I were white.. I would have moved b2 to b4, facing the rook, if he wanted to capture white would be defended , and E1 moved to H1 pressuring the right side,
5:12 anyone else finds this funny?
11:20 how about Kf3?
It's not gonna be an 8 game match. Because Capablanca literally destroyed Kostic in 5 games. Yes.. such a score already existed in those times. Capabalanca did to Kostic what Fischer did to Larsen and Taimanov..
Lasker vs Capablanca yea...........gonna be epic
Does anyone know what is the definition of a backward pawn???
it's a pawn you cant move, because it will be captured and the pawn that captures it will become a passed pawn
or just a weak pawn i guess
@@cae9838 you got it wrong
@@Drogba402 it's right actually, i thought i was wrong too but then i checked the definition and it conveys the same meaning
16:00 - why trade? Isn't white in Zugzwang? If black plays, say, Rf7, what does white play?
it's an easier way to finish it, why not?
Capa's games are pure Mozart concertos and Carlsen's undiluted Bruckner symphonies.
14:57 white can play Ne4 to untangle to give the knight for two pawns and ability to win even third pawn on b5. Would like to see how that line goes further...
Put it through an engine.
Hey guys, long time agadmator viewer. I've seen 80% of all agads content, but the Capablanca series started out with unimpressive games, so I've avoided the entire series but have watched all other uploads. I'd like to watch the masterfulgames, but skip over the simplistic beginner games. Anyone have advice on where to start?
The last time I checked capablanca did not know any opening theory
Why does agad say it might not be an 8 game match? Why wouldn't it be?
Eight rounds to play to win the tournament
But capablanca already won 3 games so he might not have to win 8 games to win it
Because Capablanca won 4 matches so currently the score 4-0. If Capablanca wins the 5th match also then after those 5 rounds 3 rounds will be left. Even if Kostiic wins all those 3 rounds Capablanca will be the winner. So basically, After this 4th game, Capablanca only needs to win or draw 1 game to win the Match.
Wouldn't it be a 9 game match in that case? If its 4-4 there would need to be a tiebreaker
if he win 5 games it's over
@@01MetalMaster Yes, It will be if we'll get the result of 4-4 but for that Kostic needs to Win all 4 games. Capablanca just needs 1 win or 1 draw to win the match out of the 4 rounds.
I think when you get your King to b3 there's even a better move than trading everything. Why not just play a waiting move like Rf7? The king now protects c2 so the rook cant go there even there :D
That is actually where the true zugzwang resided. Nice find
Capablanca has a top tier chess name.
Capablanca still be up either a bishop or a whole rook in the end, so yeah, nothing left to do already.
As soon as the word “endgame” was uttered, Medo left the couch on cue.
Capablanca looks like Harvey Specter!
At 16:00 if black played rook f7, white would’ve been in true zugzwang, because any move he could make would lose the game and if he could pass his turn the game might end up in a draw. Don’t know why I commented this, I guess I just like zugzwang. :)
can someone please tell me why the pawn on b2 wasn't just defended by simply advancing it to b4...(instead of moving all your pieces back and threaten to capture the pawn on e6 maybe...)
16:00
You said that there is no reason to wait to trade pieces. It is still winning, but is it not stronger to play 1... Rf7, simply forcing white to make a move? It seems to me like a complete zugzwang. Best response I could find is 2. Nh1, followed by 2... Rxf1 3. Nxg3 Rxe2+ 4. Kxe2 Rb1, where black is up an exchange and still completely winning.
After writing this, I realized that white might be able to generate a tiny amount of counterplay with the knight and that there's no reason to allow it.
10:38 the bishop doesn't do anything in restricting king moves
It does. The bishop prevents the king from going to g2 because it's protecting the h2 square for the rook
@@Drogba402 that's restricting sensible moves :D
Capablanca plays the endgame better than any world champion
Carlsen plays endgame so well, that it hurts.
@@salmarwow All great world champions play a great endgame think Bobby Fischer and Karpov...But Capablanca was known worldwide for his endgame technique... All he needed was a tiny edge...Carlsen is spectacular too, of course.. But did you know the Cuban world champion has the best win loss draw ratio in history of chess ??? You can look that up on chess games.com
Kasparov said chess is mental torture, no my friend capa is the real mental torture
What three points ? I don't see Casablanca up 3 pawns
Jose 'the goat' capablanca🐐
Fischer > Capa, sorry.
Mr Kostic was an impressive player indeed but, Capablanca was a genius, it makes a big difference! Unfortunately for Mr. Kostic he wasn't a match for Capablanca.
Seems like Capablanc just squeezed Kostic's position until there were no sensible moves left...
Bora 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can't stop my laugh when u call him bora😂😂😂😂
The people in Serbia have a habit to short names. If someone have name Borislav, what is very comon name in Serbia, then people call this person Bora. The people in Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Monte Negro talking preaty much the same loungvige.
Yeah in India also like that or u can say everywhere but It feels funny to me bora 😂😂😂 bora especially from agads vice😁
Hello agadmator,how is it hanging?i'm August,from Brasil,and me and a lot of others would like to see some games from the black pieces point of view .
that will be nice.its not a real big inssue,but...you know,its better not turn the phone around to get a better sight,if you may,eventualy.
stay on the cooler side of the chess force man;😁✌🏻
So you want two videos, one from a white perspective and another for black?
@@droceretik who are you?i'd like to see some games from the black perspective,not two videos with each one.
Can someone please explain why Kostic at 14:30 did not play rook h1 instead of rook e2? Thanks.
Then just Rf6 check and white loses the knight
Yes
Which book I should study for the Endgame
I am new to chess, but i really wanna know why white didn't bring the knight over to b2 via c3 ?
why at 11min50, is kf3 not possible? I feel this move is more a drawing move. In your system, at 14min47 you can move your knight e3 or h3.
Spend some time and work it out. Use an engine if you have.
Agadmator's , do u know, why Tal is everybody's favourite player...?
As we all know Casablanca still haven’t read any opening theory...
Plz do triple uploads
Capablaca was such an amazing player! I have a question for the comment section: What was your favorite game??
My favorite is Janowski vs Capablanca 1916
Oissev Onos Thank you for your comment! Whenever I see a top level game I feel like I understand what’s going on until I’m in a seemingly drawish middle game and a quiet move happens. Are top level chess players even mortal?? Haha. Also Lasker was an extremely resourceful player, I’ve shown my students a lot of his games.
Thank you for the comment, JapaneseTutor
He had many, many special games but the 1918 Marshall-Capablanca game in which he accepted and overcame the Marshall gambit over the board towers over the rest. I don't know if anyone else could have pulled that off.
somewhere6 that was a good one ;)
I love them all, it's so interesting to follow the Capablanca saga
Love this channel,but why show this game we already knew what the outcome would be
If you only watch chess games just to know the outcome maybe you shouldn't look at a 100 years old games, i think live games coverage at Twitch chess is good for you but the analysis wont be on spot and you dont gain any experience by watching it..
Caesar Davinson you are right it is a nice zugzwang game but not show all the games of bora getting battered 4-5-6 to 0
@@filipsekuloski9575 again, analysis. the purpose of watching a chess game analysis is to get better at chess. if you want to just know the game for fun, i think there are many chess channels that just show the game without thorough analysis. by the way, usually agadmator puts the winner's face in the title (or the notable person that is in the match, but mostly the winner) so you've already got a spoiler if you stick that mindset of watching chess games
What is the name of the chess app, made by your friend? is it on android ??
At 11:53, what about Kf3, as opposed to Kf1?
after Bh4 black's other rook will come to b6 f6 so definitely Kf1 already looks better
@@cae9838 But White has Rh1 before Black can get his rook to f6.
@@puremercury My bad, actually you dont need to move the bishop. Just trade everything and the White King will be in the second rank so the Rook can capture b2 with a check, and pick up all the pawn chains. The goal of the variation is not just winning or equalizing trades but also not leaving the king on the second rank. ..Kf3, Bxf2 Rxf2, Rxf2 Kxf2, Rxb2 Kf1, Rc2 and black is completely winning if not losing (nice quote, agad!)
capablanca: undefeated for years
me: blunders queen on move 1 to beginner ai
Hello everyone captures captures this doesn't work let me get a sip of my water you are an excelent subscriber
#suggestion, can you show the game that anish giri won against magnus carlsen
Hope you are doing well..
3 pauses, 3 vodkas, and still found Rb6!
11:13 why not King D1?, and if the knight is captured you pin the piece with the rook from e1. im new in chess btw.
The knight will still be pinned from the bishop to the white rook behind.....so black jus brings the other rook calmly and attacks again......then white basically would have wasted a tempo cause he has to bring his king again into the defence and get pinned.........
Karpov Saga
1905 💛❤️
I dont understand how i found the defensive move in 2 sec and the GM couldnt and i am 1700 ?!
Oissev Onos makes sense
Damn these tactical games are not my cup of tea I guess I play chess for fun
If the Bishop is sacrificed on a3 then taking the Bishop with the Rook will get you a decent game
You take a rook with a rook. Then pawn takes rook, you take another rook and end up being exchange up. More than a decent game for black, I'd say.
12:30 Dog
at 11:20 would rook h1 work, too? and if not, why?
Rook will go to f2 giving the check and then u lose a rook too which is on c2. Thats a blunder.
