    • @@williamrobert9898 "Alekhine won the match in convincing fashion not just in terms of scoring but in terms of how great his wins were" Some of those wins literally fell into Alekhine's lap like in game 11, Capa blundered away a completely drawn game by playing 60. a5?? or in game 12 where by playing 34... Qc7, he gave away huge advantage to white. I'm not saying that Alekhine was not a skilled player. Not at all but reason for Capa's loss in 1927 has less to do with how good Alekhine was and more to do with how under prepared Capablanca was. Alekhine himself said that reason for Capablanca's defeat was his underestimation of my talent. That's why Alekhine never gave Capablanca a rematch. He instead played World Championships against players like Bogoljubov and Euwe and gave them rematches knowing they cannot beat him.

They were confederations made up of tribes, with a level of democracy in them, where there was this voting system in "Kurultais" ( a parliament: oldest chosen person has more weight, khagan and khatun are equals and the rich and the poor are equals in voting) When you have that system (that signifies the later stages of barbarian era, native americans had a similar structure too) that early monarchies and sultanates shit on you really good, because, "in praise of idleness".

You have great charisma and covered this unknown player with passion in a way that enables his legacy although short, to live on in the minds of all of us viewing these games. Capablanca was without doubt one of the greatest players in the history of chess. Had Sultan Khan been able to read and write, study, plan and so on, then his mind may have expanded allowing him to be the most dominating force in the world. Thanks again for this video.

Morphy hated it because he couldn't get the job he wanted to work, due to people always associating him with being great at chess and not taking him seriously otherwise, and Fischer hated it because of engines and theory killing all creativity in the game, plus the US gave him a lot of shit during cold war. It's a shame, really
