Jose Raul Capablanca - Savielly Tartakower
New York (New York, NY USA) [6] A40 1924.03.23
1.d4 Notes by Alekhine and Reti. 1...e6 2.Nf3 f5 3.c4 Nf6 4.Bg5 Be7 5.Nc3 O-O 6.e3 b6 7.Bd3 Bb7 8.O-O Qe8 9.Qe2 Ne4 10.Bxe7 Nxc3 11.bxc3 Qxe7 12.a4 Bxf3 13.Qxf3 Nc6 14.Rfb1 Rae8 15.Qh3 Rf6 16.f4 Na5 17.Qf3 d6 18.Re1 Qd7 19.e4 fxe4 20.Qxe4 g6 21.g3 Kf8 22.Kg2 Rf7 23.h4 d5 24.cxd5 exd5 25.Qxe8+ Qxe8 26.Rxe8+ Kxe8 27.h5 27.Rf6 28.hxg6 hxg6 29.Rh1 29.Kf8 30.Rh7 Rc6 31.g4 31.Nc4 32.g5 He gives his opponent the opportunity of winning a pawn. But Capablanca has confidence in the passed pawn which he obtains. - Reti 32...Ne3+ 33.Kf3 Nf5 34.Bxf5 Simple and compelling. - Alekhine 34...gxf5 35.Kg3 Decisive! White sacrifices material in order to obtain the classical position with King on f6, pawn on g6, and Rook on h7, whereupon the black pawns tumble like ripe apples. - Alekhine 35...Rxc3+ It is extremely instructive to see how Capablanca is no longer in the least concerned about material equality, but thinks only of supporting his passed pawn. - Reti 36.Kh4 Rf3 37.g6 Rxf4+ 38.Kg5 Re4 39.Kf6 It is a frequently available finesse in such positions not to capture hostile pawns, but to pass them by in order to be protected in the rear against checks by the rook. - Reti 39...Kg8 40.Rg7+ Kh8 41.Rxc7 Re8 42.Kxf5 Again the simplest. Kf7 would not yet have been disastrous because of Rd8, etc. - Alekhine 42...Re4 43.Kf6 Rf4+ 44.Ke5 Rg4 45.g7+ Kg8 After exchanging rooks, White would win still more easily. - Alekhine 46.Rxa7 Rg1 47.Kxd5 Rc1 48.Kd6 Rc2 49.d5 Rc1 50.Rc7 Ra1 51.Kc6 Rxa4 52.d6

The Belgrade FIDE Grand Prix is the 16-player second of three legs of the 24-player 2022 FIDE Grand Prix that qualifies two players to the Candidates Tournament. Each player competes in two of the three tournaments, with the 16 players divided into four groups who play a double round-robin. The group winners advance to a knockout. Tiebreaks at any stage are played on the following day. Players can earn a maximum of 13 points for winning a leg.
Players receive 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes to the end of the game, plus a 30-second increment starting from move one. In case of a tie a 15+10 two-game match is played. If still tied, a 3+2 two-game match follows and then, if needed, an Armageddon game, where White has 5 minutes to Black's 4, but a draw counts as a win for Black. If more than two players are tied a round-robin tiebreak is played. Official website: worldchess.com

I love these pre-engine classics. Just brain v brain.
Engines don't think for chess players. They only help with opening prep after that the post-engine players are on their own.
True with engines chess is becoming boring
🤯🤓🧐
I remember learning about this game from a book called "The most instructive games of chess ever played" by Irving Chernev. This game is a true masterpiece and incorporates instructive moments in the opening, middlegame, and especially the endgame with that rook lift. It shows us the true importance of getting the rook on the 7th rank, and how to use that rook to it's full potential. Thanks for the content, agadmator, like always.
Goatmentatorkzhead.info/sun/lJWjadOveaetl4k/bejne.html
Yooo me too! That book is honestly a beautiful work of art, it was the first chess book I ever looked at.
Oh wow I suggested this game like a year ago for the same reason!
Oof😅😅😅 9oooo
Practical Chess Endings by Irving Chernev is also a wealth of chess knowledge.
"It's not much but at least we'll play something." Way too relatable.
The moves Kxf5 and g7+ by Capablanca were so savage. They illuminate the reality of the position, that Tartakower was completely tied down and about to lose the game. I imagine he was still making moves because he was just trying to make sense of how it got to that point. Like when boxers sometimes keep swinging aimlessly after they get smashed on the chin, their knees buckling and totally dazed as the referee calls the match. I could imagine the arbiter seeing Tartakower play Rc1, Rc2, Rc1 and stepping in at that point to stop the fight
Thank you Agadmator, that made my day, Capablanca once again!
One of my favorite chess books is "From the Opening Into the Endgame" by Edmar Mednis. It shows openings that lead quickly to endgames. It can make your endgame study pay off.
The most insane mental note made to myself ever : be sure to start looking into the openings when I get to 2300 🤣🤣🤣
That whole concept is silly if taken as an axiom. Some people find it easier to start with early or mid game. Just because Capa preferred endgames but lacked the foresight for the above doesn't mean we should all blindly do what suited him the most. Had a guy at a local chess club ramble how only the endgames matter and openings are easy, you just have to avoid the blunders - fast forward to him getting crushed in under 20moves...gl using your endgame wisdom in horrible positions 😂😂😂 All 3 stages matter. Likewise, your opinion could be completely different and still true. Capa was too blind in his perception of the game and how it should be learned & played. Like a true wise man once said, absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own ;)
@@TheDendra7 Well, not saying it cause I'm Cuban, the bottom line, according to millions,Capa was perhaps the most gifted player that ever lived. Lasker said, have met many great players but only one genius, Jose Raul Capablanca y Graupera.
@@TheDendra7When one of the greatest masters of chess history says something about the game perhaps you should listen
These old masters like Capablanca had such knowledge and style that its almost dream-like to watch their games unfold. Like a Venus Fly-trap plant which moves with such slow grace that the fly is often completely unaware that it’s fate was sealed as soon as it had alighted on the plant’s leaf. Excellent analysis, as always; every game I watch on your channel I feel expands my understanding of this oh-so beautiful & complex game, thanks Agadmator.
Today is Mr Capablanca deathday, (March 08, 1942) we should not be sad, but , remember Him with Great Respect and Admiration. As I do. Bravo and Well-done for our GM señor J.R.Capablanca !
I really love your words... Im cuban and for me is truly an honor talks about JOSE RAUL CAPABLANCA.. for me the best natural talent ever ( my opinion)*... Thank u
@@joseperez8774 Indeed !
I love chess, Im Cuban, learned chess as a boy. I have to say, Capablanca is my favorite Cuban, we very proud of him, everyone that speaks Spanish should be too, the only Spanish speaking world champion. How do you know you were great? The Queen Gambit Netflix series mentioned his name, the movie Searching for Bobby Fisher, in the movie, they mentioned his name, one of the greatest minds ever. Thanks for your words, Capa will always be alive in the hearts of those of us who love chess. Adios
Hello, I am glad to read such recognition about Him. Bravo ! @@Tech-vn1jv
This was such a good game that learning it's possibilities makes me feel like I levelled up as a player. Thank you Agad for the game and the analysis and salute to Capa and Tartakower for this game
Ah the original endgame artist , possibly the greatest and definitely the most naturally gifted of them all . Happy to see agadmator our internet chess historian keeping the memory of the legends alive .

Yess, the og endgame god. It's always a treat for us to watch capablanca play.
Proud that Capa was born in my birth city, Havana, Cuba.
Well, it makes sense in this way: Endgames don't have that many pieces to calculate. Sure, the ones you have will have more space and possible squares but with each piece leaving the field it'll become easier. More importantly: You have a clear goal (to checkmate) and you will either reach that goal or fail - either way you have direct feedback and a 100% clear outcome every single time. Whereas when you you study the openings or midgame your goals will always be just concepts like controlling the centre or disruption pawn structures or gaining material or keeping the bishop pair or developing with tempo - whatever it is, you can't see WHY this is good because they game isn't finished yet. Also, once you understood how endgames work you'll know where the journey is going and what to achieve during midgame. And once you know the midgame you'll automatically do the right choices early game. When Agad talked about this he said something very important: "you know that you don't start with a4 - a5 ... or, if you do that and that's your style, it's cool, *but you need to know why* " And that's the essence I think. Personally I am very bad at learning things by heart without understanding the subject. As a consequence I have a hard time remembering things like telephone numbers because there is no inherent logic (I can't even memorize my own number!). But if I understand something, then I can remember it, even if the subject is complex. Chess is like this and even though I consider myself an intermediate player now I still can't associate all these opening names like sicilian, french and so on with the correct moves, even after 2 years of watching Agadmator, Eric Rosen, Hikaru, Finegold and others.

Well said 👍
I saw it in The Immortal Games of Capablanca, by Fred Reinfeld. Nice old book.
Sheesh, tartakower can never catch a break
My friends at the bar and library told me Mr. Capablanca did not know any opening theory
Brilliant game by the legend himself Jose Raul Capablanca 😀👏🏾
Love the classics.
13:35 just look at the position...5 vs 3 pawns and still winning the game so easily....#legend
Wow! you just made my day Agad ... this is the game I recommended like a week ago! When I saw the endgame I knew this is the kind of super cool and interesting endgame Agad would like and he would have to show it. Also I found the pause the video moves so that's nice hehe
Feel so special and talented after finding all the moves
This game is held up as the gold standard for how endgames should be handled and for good reason! Every grandmaster KNOWS this game, very instructive.

Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!

Chessmasterkzhead.info/sun/lJWjadOveaetl4k/bejne.html
Capablanca was my favorite player. He just knew the best move to make. Amazing.
that was an amazing game - thanks.
"I've never studied the openings much, but I have studied the end games." I perceive, though I know nothing about chess, that knowing the end game is the best for narrating chess matches. This of course because that's where they are usually decided!
Okk kzhead.info/sun/lJWjadOveaetl4k/bejne.html
Love this game.
The last few moves with the king and pawns are very reminiscent of Magnus's win against Nakamura in sinquefield cup 2018 . Especially the moment when he played rg7+
Of the old masters, I always enjoy seeing Capablanca and seeing Tal. So beautiful.
Okk kzhead.info/sun/lJWjadOveaetl4k/bejne.html
The nostalgia of watching Capablanca's games is insane. I watched his games on Agadmator's channel 4.5 years ago. Feels good to see his games being covered again. 9th March 2022, 6:33 P.M.
Nice stamp :) I do that too.
@@PawpiChoolo Thanks, I started doing it last year, and have also created a playlist 'comments' where I save them. If I still have this account in 2030 or something , it will remind me of the old days.
I am seeing things, a Capablanca game?? Thought I'd never seen him here again! Yay :D
🔥🔥🔥
did you know capablanca didnt study opening theory
Yessirkzhead.info/sun/lJWjadOveaetl4k/bejne.html
You may have not learned the endgame but i'm sure you have learnt to appreciate it - Elegant words by Agad.
I had all of Capablanca's chess books. I learned the most from the games of Capablanca.
Whilst I am really good at endgames I could never play like Capablanca. I would love to see a really strong engine that emulates his play against the super GMs.
Its simple : Mr JOSE RAUL CAPABLANCA is the best natural talented player ever to play the game... ( my respect to other GMasters)*... Thank u Capablanca
second best, to be precise...:-)
@@dr.bluesfield3629 who's #1???
@@joseperez8774 well, it's obviously the guy who was never taught chess, picked it up by just watching his father and uncle play and surprised them at the age of 6 by showing them winning lines they had missed, when they weren't even aware that he could play, they guy who never once in his life opened a book of chess theory, and furthermore, didn't even consider chess a serious profession but a mere Sunday afternoon leisure time occupation and, in spite of all of this, traveled the world to beat the crap out of the very best of his contemporaries in the most flamboyant style imaginable, to such an extent, that his games are still among the most memorable of all times and he is still today considered as one of the most precise players and a towering symbol of the triumph of the spirit over matter....

Have you shown the Orangutan game from this tournament? I remember reading that Tartakower saw an orangutan at the Bronx Zoo and thought the ape was telling him to open with 1. b4 and then the absolute madman did it. Also, I love how the two photos you have of Capablanca have him evolve from pretty boy to mob boss.
Great endgame!

Interesting that Bobby Fischer said he was dismayed at the advancements in opening book theory, as it allowed anyone to memorize openings and not have to rely on skill or imagination. Yet Cap said openings were the least important phase of the game. And Cap and Morphy were Fischer's favorite players.
Don't believe anything Fisher said. Anyone with common sense would realize the importance of endgames, the end of the journey in chess. We can maneuver a lot at the begining of game, not at the end, when we trying to checkmate, etc.
Capablanca was a Chess Machine.

#suggestion - David Howell against Nils Grandelius, in the England-Sweden Challenge today - Italian opening, goes absolutely wild in second half. Howell is down to 15 minutes with 26 moves to the time control, and then uses 8 minutes on one move...
I got the Kg3 move, which makes me a master of the endgame.
there is always time for a Capablanca game! thanks! "but its way cooler to play h5 first" i love your sense of humor xD
13:49 Kg8 is not played to "try something": if the king does not move, Rh8++ is mate, and if Ke8 (the only other option) then g7 Rg4 (forced) Rh8+ and black is finished.

@15:56, I couldn't resist adding my own gulping sounds. It was very satisfying.
At the very end, you can stalemate white, or white would have to give up two pawns
It's kind of like.... study tactics and learn how to win endgames or hold a draw in a drawn endgame, and do that until you're nearly a GM. Then study openings.
I like your content. It took me some time to comment, sorry for that, u r tony stark

#suggestion Alekhine's worst defeat, Alekhine vs Perez Perez
But how do we go about studying endgames ? Any blueprint True endgames make me scream internally
Capa!
When you say of an old game that "this position has never been reached again", it would be interesting and instructive if you could tell us *why* this position has never been reached again. What was wrong with the players' last moves?
At any given position in a game, a unique position can happen. There is billions of probabilities
Because somebody lost! If you are a super GM and you know that, for example tartakower lost this particular position, you would never go into that position again voluntarily unless you found an improving move somewhere that gave you a better chance
It's not that someone lost. In this game the position that was never reached again was because of a move made by a white piece with white winning the game. There could be some improvement made by the black pieces that exploits the move white made potentially in some deep engine line or something, but this game transposed into the dutch defense, which isn't really popular among super GMs these days because the dutch defense isn't held in high esteem like the berlin or sicilian.
" this was 1924 afterall " ha ha
Capablanca's name is so enyojable to pronounce.
I found all pause the video moves for the first time. May be I am a Chess genius 😂
Tartakower played scared like a 1700 trading everything to avoid blundering a tactic 😂
