Games 1-5 were played in New York (until Tuesday, April 27th); game 6 in Morristown, NJ; game 7 in Scranton, PA; game 8 in Wilkes-Barre, PA; and games 9-23 in New York resumed on Saturday, May 8. The match started on Monday, April 19th and finished by late June.
"No difficulty was experienced in arranging the match. Marshall was disposed to play in this case where he naturally discounted his victory. How far he was wrong the result proved. I beat him eight to one with fourteen draws thrown in between. I can safely say that no player ever performed such a feat, as it was my first encounter against a master, and such a master, one of the first ten in the whole world. The most surprising feature of all was the fact that I played without ever having opened a book to study the openings; in fact, had Marshall played such things as Danish Gambits, Vienna Openings, or the like, the result might have been different. I certainly should have experienced more difficulty in obtaining such a result. I had only looked an analysis of the Ruy Lopez by Lasker, on the 3...f5 defense, but the analysis was wrong, as it did not give the strongest continuation for Black. This, and whatever I knew from experience or hearsay, was all of my stock of knowledge for the match. My victory put me at once in the foremost rank among the great masters of the game. The play during the match showed that I was weak in the openings and just strong enough in the simple play for position. My great strength lay in the endgame, and I also excelled in combinations of the middlegame. I had a fine judgment as to whether a given position was won or lost, and was able to defend a difficult position as few players could, as I repeatedly demonstrated during the course of the match, in repulsing Marshall's onslaughts. I may add that my style was not as yet either definite or complete, though it had a wide range, that is, I could attack almost as well as I could defend, and could make combinations in the middlegame nearly as well as play the endings where I felt more at home and was decidedly strongest" - Capablanca in My Chess Career.

Agadmator, don't change your style. The stories about the players 's life are very interesting. Keep up the good work!
I agree, I've honestly been digging the mini chess history lessons
yah
Agreed
The Agadmator way is the best way. (At least for us history buffs!)
Agreed
The lack of theory is what makes Capablancas games so enjoyable to watch.
The really amazing thing, and few people know this, is that Capablanca didn't even know anything about chess. He was a model for Cuban GQ.
@@andrew_owens7680 This is not true.
@@kibbit1373 that was joke
The depth and complexity of these Capablance-Marshall games are remarkable. It seems most every position is loaded with hidden intrigue.
This is some of the greatest chess for its time that I have ever perceived.
It was!
Capablanca: The Defensor.
I just have one question: Did Capablanca study opening theory? I don't think that has been mentioned yet.
Entropy nope!
@@joeb4142 how do you know this?
No idea. I missed the start because I was laughing too much. My state pension won't stretch to the "Capablanca didn't study opening theory" merch when it comes out so I paid the fine by paypal instead.
Yes , he studied Karpov's openings book.
No, he had only read an analysis on one opening, by the world champion (Magnus Carlsen).
The move of all moves on the chess channel of all channels, excellent
This channel has all of the other chess channels beat with the proverbial stick!
Ur face dumbass ,At 11:11black rook should have captured whit knight and the game is in blacks hands
@@salmanmohammed5224 That would be checkmate in one and agadmator even says it.
Agree. This video is really starting to grow on me.
“I had a toothache during the first game. In the second game I had a headache. In the third game it was an attack of rheumatism. In the fourth game, I wasn’t feeling well. And in the fifth game? Well, must one have to win every game?” - Siegbert Tarrasch
What does this quote refers to?
@@_sky_3123 to excuses
Hello, excellent subscribers (and Antonio "Agadmator" Radić as well)! I would like to thank Antonio for all the games he has shown.The explanation and the analysis behind those games and covering of the variations that were questionable and interesting to calculate is very nice. I've been watching this channel since it was like under few thousand subscribers till now and I'm still watching it. What makes your channel more interesting and better overall is the fact that people can never really get bored while listening to your voice, especially the prologue with some interesting and amazing stories. You've got that spiritual and positive energy that drags people towards this channel and makes them subscribe to it, support it and stay with it. I've started to study chess seriously and practice it since I was 13 (back when players that were 600 rating could beat me easily) till now when I'm 14 years old and have improved quite a lot. I have even managed to beat players that are 2000+ and currently I'm around 1800. I'm happy that this channel made me so much better and all of that without paying expensive coaches or reading a lot of books. Currently I'm reading some chess books and I'm preparing for my Serbian Cup which will be held in April 2019. I was able to guess like 80% of the moves you requested to find without even pausing the video. Even moves like Bd7 in this video, Re3 in the previous one and all those insane moves. I guess it's not so hard to do so when someone tells you that there's a move that's just striking with it's beauty and awesomeness. It's been a lot of time since you did a stream for your excellent subscribers! You could make a stream with some Lichess arenas, I'm sure many excellent subscribers wouldn't dare to dismiss that! Thank you for your coverage of chess, especially now that you started to cover stories and games about J. R. Capablanca. He's one of my favourite players. He keeps things simple, methodical and logical. Keep raising your channel and hopefully it will reach another historic milestone! Thank you for everything you did and everything you'll do in the future. Whoever is reading this post, have a good day and enjoy your life! Best wishes, Dario P.S: I'm sorry if I made any mistakes during the writing of this post! English is not my native language.
Dario Šarvari writing*
I share a very similar story. Just multiply your age by 2 and divide your rating also by 2... LoL. All thanks to Agamator.
The irony in the last paragraph, oof
Good luck with the Serbian Cup!
And it was in this position the haters resigned the game.
This game almost deserves its own wow-ing video!
Ferocious , old school attacks by Marshall parried every time by Capablanca. Mystery and intrigue at nearly every move. It's no wonder this was called the Romantic Era.
I love your wowing. Don't change. It's your barely restrained enthusiasm that makes you.
Marshall attacked like a mad man until 11:35 when: "in cold blood Capablanca played Bxd7 and it was in this position when Frank James Marshall resigned the game on move 43" LOVED IT! : )
Ha ha ha... : )
About the opening in this game he told: "I saw this Ne4 move from Dr. Lasker. Since Dr. Lasker plays this move regularly, then this move must be a good move, so I played it." He is the #1 person in history who proved that people care openings way too much, but don't study and underestimate end games.
Ah, c'mon Antonio, don't feed the trolls, it IS usefull to say in each video because not everysingle person that watched (13k by now) has seen the previous videos. Just like the long story you told on the first video from this saga was usefull aswell. There are constructive critics and desconstrutive ones, that is usefull to flame sometimes, or even try to make people laugh, I really don't think that you should change based on the desconstructive. By the way, I'm not a english native speaker so don't mind my spell errors and thanks for the awesome videos!
I think you missed his point, he was essentially trolling them back. See, by announcing not to mention that Capa hasn't studied opening theory he DID mention it ;)
This is by far the best chess channel on KZhead. Great job sir.
Poor Marshall. He played beautifully!
Honestly, one of my favorite games of all times along with the story, same with the American Beauty and Frank Marshall using the Marshall Attack on Capablanca for the first time, everytime Frank Marshall is playing a game you KNOW it's going to be entertaining.
propably one of the most beautifull games we have seen recently good stuff agadmator
What a fabulous game and especially the bishop move at the end. Incredible and exactly what makes this the greatest game man has ever created.
I had a book of Capablanca's games when I was young. I was entranced by the beauty of his playing. The book even had puzzles based on his games. Wish I still had it.
Agad gets nostalgic whenever you say “Bishop to d7.” He shudders and gets a chill up his spine whenever he hears “Bishop to d7.” (Agadmators Favorite Dream) captures captures, Bishop to d7, in this position he resigned the game, unicorns and rainbows.
1:50 - dxc4 opening the diagonal for the bishop. And this move made without Capablanca having any knowledge of openings.
Yhup, a pretty natural move for him to make at his age
I have tried to study some opening theory but look at Caba, his innate ability more than compensates the lack of opening book knowledge
Thank you for all the amount of videos i have to watch so i never get bored, greetings from Ecuador!
Agadmator, you are democratizing chess! Absolutely great work, done with love for the world of chess. Keep enhancing everybody's vast knowledge!
I saw bishop d7 without seeing the back rank weakness fully. Marshall's attack is countered so well by Capablanca's white bishop only to become a major positional weakness. Great game and commentary.
Marshall was clearly a very strong attacking player but the overwhelming feeling I get from these games is that he was too used to playing weaker opponents. In this game, as in the others against Capablanca, he played strong attacking moves but all too often they were not the objectively best moves. There is a famous chess quote and, unfortunately, I can't exactly remember who said it or indeed precisely what it is (!) but the gist is that you always have to assume that your opponent will make the very best reply to whatever move you make. I get the impression that Marshall failed to do this, so Capablanca's excellent intuition and calculation gave him a decisive advantage. I also think that if Marshall had recognised the skill of his opponent that he could have raised his game and become a more formidable obstacle for Capablanca.
That.s a fair point, and I see what you mean. But I guess Marshall had his style and knew his strengths and played to them. @أحمد قاضي
@Big White Duck This match was before Capablanca was Capablanca, though.
But that's exactly what old timey chess was all about. For one, they didn't have engines to tell them the best moves after the game, secondly they didn't have the internet to play against whoever they want when they want - occasions to meet the best players are rare and even then it means a lot of expensive travelling with inefficient transportation of that era. Finally there was this big showmanship aspect, the battle of minds and egos, you did not just wanted to win, you wanted to win *with style*. It's the romantic era of chess. Always trying to play the best/safe moves is why modern chess is more boring on average and will produce more draws.
No, you're wrong. Capa was unbeatable and ever will be the Human Chess Machine, the most formidable chess player of all times. The greatest chess mind.
Thank you! I haven't played chess since I was a kid and now I can't stop watching your videos. They are very entertaining. I love all of the background stories, and your analysis is great, understandable for a novice like myself but still very in depth. I have been binge watching for weeks now. I don't think I am ready to go to a tournament or start hustling people in the park... but I have really enjoyed it, so again THANK YOU!!! P
I think this just became my favorite game
I like the way you say "starting to make fun of . . . you know, like we're all just warming up. OK, now back to watching this excellent game like a mad man.
Totally amazing with so many incredible variations. Both men were fantastic
Opening youtube and another excellent agadmator video is online. What a wonderful time to be alive :-)
Jako zanimljiva utakmica ! :) jedna od boljih sto sam gledao !
Wow! Great game and great analysis, truly giving insight into the ferocity of Marshall's attack and depth of these two greats.
Wow. What a move. I felt it.
how does one even find a move like that without a computer... simply fascinating
Sometimes when you are stuck you go through all legal moves and evaluate them
@@z17seattle Yep. There are 34 or so legal moves in that position, so you'd only need half an hour to spend briefly on each, then spend longer on interesting moves. People really, really into chess will happily do this.
@@danusiaspock9253 half an hour? Probably much less assuming you have made every move up to this point. It's not a cold position. Moves like kh1, kf1 can probably be ruled out in seconds as white is on the attack and down 2 pawns so quiet moves will likely not help. Every rook move could be ruled out in seconds, rf1 doesnt help towards an attack, and e very other rook move ra1,rb1,rc1,rd1 get mated instantly. So theres 7 moves ruled out in under a minute. Qg6,h3,g3,g4,f3,f4 nh5 qh5 ne8 ng8 qf4 bc8, be6 bc2, 14 more moves that can be ruled out in under 10 seconds a piece. 21 moves ruled out in under 3 minutes. It's easier than you think once you get started.
@@z17seattle "half an hour? Probably much less assuming you have made every move up to this point. It's not a cold position." Agreed; I didn't mean so much during an actual game, but someone dryly analysing it after the fact. You're right, a lot of moves could be ruled out much quicker than I implied, but my point was, you could spend a whole minute looking at every single legal move, and it wouldn't eat up an entire afternoon or anything like that.
Watching this made me feel bad for Marshall tbh. He played brilliantly. Capas just not a human this is not normal😆
I enjoy the stories about the games as much as the games themselves. The story of Jose Raul Capablanca starts already wildly and I can’t wait to see more of it!
The games these guys produced back then are just incredible.. thanks for showing and doing what you do Agadmator
You are as entertaining and knowledgeable a presenter of chess as I've seen. Thanks and keep up the fine work.
Great analysis of an exceptional game. Thanks for your wonderful channel.
marshall is such a ferocious attacker! The olden games are such a thrill to watch! Thank you and keep up the good work.
Love this channel. Been here for years
Superb analysis, Agadmator -- grazie, grazie!!
Love your videos you make these games way more fun to watch than actuall games
You are the best at what you do. You move the game along fairly quickly which I like. I actually saw the move Bd7 but didn't see all the variations attached to it. Keep up the good work.
Agadmator, thank you. you and your chanell are the reason why I started to play chess again. I'm watching all your vides and you doing a really great job! keep on doing it! Respect from Slovenia 💪😉👑
dude, you have a calming and very nice attitude. good videos
This is truly a beautiful game
Who dares to make fun of Antonio. This guy has the best chess channel on KZhead and has grown rapidly over the last year. Show him some respect!
Well said
Beautiful game. Masters of the past were simply too good. Thanks for the video. I will show this to both of my children to give them a glimpse of the expertise of the old school chess.
Such a beautiful game to watch
Almost forget that he had no opening theory
Say what?? Where'd you hear that?
Crazy Move!!! The Move of all moves deserves its title!
Im sure no one meant any harm with calling you out on his lack of opening theory. But please do say when he starts learning some. I personally took no issue and am enjoying this saga immensely
I wonder how long Capa played chess without knowing any opening theory Wouldn't be surprised if he didn't learn any openings for his entire life
Merci, agadmator. Le coup manqué par Marshall montre son niveau tactique exceptionnel
These people do Magic on the board. It's like being a street fighter and watching Goku vs. Vegeta face off.
An amazing game!! Truly one of my top games
Braaaavo best one Ivé seen in a while
That was an amazing game thanks agadmator
I actually appreciated each time it was mentioned that he hadn't studied opening theory. Even if it has been mentioned multiple times. It's significant enough that it's worth multiple mentions.
You sir, are an excellent revealer of hidden moves!
In your analysis Bd7 was a jaw dropping move. I have not seen such a move for quite a while. Thank you so much for all your support and analysis.
This quote is beautiful.
My Lord, how I love these men.
You spoil us so much with this excellent content agadmator! Hope to become a supporter!
Without a doubt, the move of all moves, brilliant!!
That was a bloodfest. Loved it.
Once again !!! Captures captures
Truly amazing game
Today there was no customery "sorry for that" Moment 😊
I like that
Flawless.
"sorry about that"
I always wonder what it is that he's apologizing for...
Only man who apologizes for nothing...🤭
What a beautiful game
I cant play chess but I like to listen to your knowledge and love for the game. Amazing man!
This made my day i juste watch a great video and i figure out the move all moves
Wow indeed! That bishop move is amazing.
Great game great analysis
I saw that blacks remaining rook was a liability after you said to pause the video (That was the move Rxd7), but because you said the counterattack by white uses the whole board I thought that somehow the white rook would enter the attack. My mistake it's still defending. It's interesting how not understanding the motive of a question like try to find a move because of incorrect understanding of a clue messes up ones perception of the game. It is a weird move, but one that keeps a player with an open mind. Agadmator thank-you for sharing your opinion on the move after it was played, I felt happy for you that you respected the idea behind the move and that you promote it. Excellent video.
I am an excellent subscriber and I demand more Agadmator stories !
Your videos are interesting. Thank you
What an extraordinary game!
Beautiful Game!!!
12:39 a glitch in the Matrix
Damn. That's one beautiful game.
Just a Wow for the move of all moves!
GM Larry Christiansen calls that Bd7 an earth shattering chess move in his analysis of greatest attacking games from the past. Now I'm able to appreciate why!! Thanks for doing this series Antonio 👍
Thanks, again. Great analysis. Per the engine, Black has a nice equalizing line: 1...Kg7 2.Ne8+ Rxe8 3.Bxe8 Qe6 4.Ra1 Qxe8. All great fun.
Wow. Is it just me or is every game of this match so captivating. Every move is a haymaker
I was totally thrilled by this game 👌
man you are simply great...
Good game, good comments. Congratulations Agaadmator.👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
What a beautiful move
Awesome job as usual. I just wish you had confirmed Capablanca's analysis with the engines a bit more often. You mention where Capablanca makes asessments of the position. I am very curious to what degree the engines agreed with him.
I think it should be stressed that Capablanca is playing without any opening, for me at least, it gives a very good sense of just how good he was.
What a damn good game. I somehow found bd7, but I would have absolutely never thought of it had you not said it was such an absurd one
its a tremendous game from both of them and you too Antonio :)
You were the one who made me love chess!
Seriously insane game.
Love the storytelling
Marshall must felt really thankful to the *%*¥° who suggested him to play Capablanca....
Maybe he thanked him..
If you want to be the best , you have to beat the best
Diary of a madman !!
Don't worry about repeating sentences, we love all your videos and repeated expressions make a great catch phrase for T-shirts and mugs
Capablanca was simplistically brutal. I wish I could play the endgame half as well.
