This and the Rubinstein game where Capablanca was sick - he got whooped pretty bad in that one, and this one. He's still very young here, and Lasker was champ for 27 years for a reason. Really interesting rivalry they had here - amazing how Lasker had his number early on, before Capablanca ultimately dominated their championship match.
@Oissev Onos I agree with you, but I don't think you can take much away from Capablanca in his win even with the factors. He defeated the greatest chess player of all time up to that point, a guy who was champ in two different centuries. That's what makes it most impressive. Lasker was aging, and it's no shame to him as he was a great champion and he lost to a worthy opponent who played excellently. Circumstances or not, I'm not disparaging Lasker.
Well, he isnt exactly. Kramnik once wrote an article about all the WC before him and from all of them he praised Lasker the most. According to Kramnik Lasker was the first player to play modern chess. Thats why he got ignored. Nobody understood was he was doing and claimed he "was good in playing the opponents psychology" etc. But Kramnik explains that Lasker was the first player ever to understand how to convert strategic advantage into tactical advantage and vice versa. www.chess.com/blog/Spektrowski/vladimir-kramnik-from-steinitz-to-kasparov Here is the article. Edit: Another relativly unknown fact is, that Lasker was a great mathematician and a good friend of Albert Einstein, who discussed alot of mathematical problems in his theories with him.
Great feedback and comments folks! The level of details and the analysis given along with the historical references far surpassed the expectations of my initial humble note. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Lasker was a heck of a player; a while back I saw some statistics of computer analysis of chess masters games; Lasker had one of the highest error-free ratings. Lasker really liked the exchange variation of the Ruy Lopez, giving white a pawn majority on the kingside.
@Oissev Onos you are one true lasker fan. I remember your comment in another video where you said he doesn't get enough attention. Fingers crossed for a laskers saga. Good day to you sir
Lasker was one of the greatest gamers of all time. He figured out what it took to beat each player and carried it out. Without a doubt, one of the greatest chess champions of all time. Despite what that nut ball Bobby Fischer said about him.
Excellent game by Lasker. That is the kind of defeat which makes a player walk away shaking their head in wonder and disbelief. So convincing and one sided a game must effect the psyche of a player, even one as confident as JRC. Thank you for the saga and vast knowledge.
Your attitude, a inspiring mixture of respekt, appriciation and irony is just perfekt for the endless joy and vast knowledge of chess. Thx a lot for i enjoy every video of yours!
This is my favourite game. Emanuel Lasker is my favourite player. There is so much that is said about this game that doesn't even discuss the moves. People talk about the psychology, the fight, the rivalry. Oh, and the moves ain't bad!
So I'm just home from watching a local Northern Ireland theatre company put on Chess the musical, it was very good, during the show part of the scenery was the photos of all the past world champions, and because of your channel I had increased "my vast knowledge" and knew all but two. Thanks for all the photo challenges. Martin
@Oissev Onos I've seen some data that suggests Lasker was actually better after he lost the title, having higher rating than even Capablanca frequently from 1921-1926 when he finally started to fall off.
Oh com-on agadmator, waiting for your videos each day n I'm watching other videos till you upload your video, Okay, now the real words... Thanks, for - for the good work and good work should be appreciated. I learn a lot from your work, like everything about chess and lot more to go. Big thanks to you agadmator. Love from New Delhi India. I really really appreciate and love your work. Thank You :)
ww i was waiting so long for this game , this game is so beauty , capablanca wa so confident of his positional play, and lasker was like hold my beer and showed who is the champ, respect for both of those legends , and for you to be holding the champ you have to show the world you can beat positional , best end game player , by plying with the style of his fevor , i think lasker deserves his games to be shown on this channel , next lasker saga thats sounds great
The mood music was much more appropriate for an epic battle, that's for sure anyway. The game itself sure was great, especially for Lasker and shows why he was a legend as well. Thx, great coverage too.
It has been over a year since I last missed an agadmator’s video. I think it was during the Kasparov or maybe the sorcery series, that’s why I like to call myself an excellent loyal subscriber
Loads up you tube. Finds a new video from Agadmator. Grabs a coffee and plays video, "Hello everyone welcome back to the Capablanca saga " yep my Saturday couldn't begin any better.
Appreciate your vids, really enjoy them, I started liking chess a lot more after finding your channel. Epic music though for chess lol? Idk I was thinking more Beethoven, a classical and mathematic rhythm.
Oissev Onos agree👍. Someone in his forty is almost old for a tough competition. Karpov was 34 when lost to Kasparov.Kramnic was 42 when quiet. Kasparov was in his early 50s when quiet professional chess. He lost his title at his early 40s.But Lasker was still strong in his 70s in Moscow. He was heavy smoker with gray hair and mustache. I used “ cunning fox” to describe how dangerous he was and how deep moves he could find. Of course I did not mean to contempt his games. I admire his style 😃
What a game for Lasker great job utilizing his knights in the endgame those Rooks so powerful in great positions opposite each other . Great game thanks Agadmator
8:34 I see engines are still not pulling punches. That was a very deep line. People would've called this witchcraft few hundred years ago. I know you don't like it because it is "exhaustive" but it inspires me to see that such lines are possible in chess. Keep em coming agadmator!
Just to write a comment so that UA-cam does not accidentally unsubscribe me :) - I managed yesterday to draw against Magnus Carlsen Age 11 App!!!! This would not have been possible without all hints and mini-lessons from this channel! Great stuff! BIG THANK YOU! And keep it up!
Lasker uses hypnotism: I now own you! Time to install a green screen background to match the epic music. To make the games have the appearance of actual play linking the portraits to the side of play was a nice touch with the recent Chess24 rapid contest. I liked the live feed aspect despite its obvious flaws. Carlsen actually reviews his own play retrospectively finding errors and future tactics that he missed, whereas Svidler seemed more positional than tactical and missed some opportunities. Your site is becoming more serious as Capa falls. This game shows all of his weaknesses in the opening and middle game and the lack of an end game strategy. Chess can be harsh like that at times.
Wow, anyone who could play such a game against the great Capablanca certainly deserved to be world champion! Not that Lasker's status was in any doubt, but damn! I bet Lasker, after this game, was all like "Yeah, I'm bad!" LOL
Hey agad. Loving all you work mate. What a great saga so far! It doesn't matter to me what the next saga is (lasker, alekhine, leela) but an idea I had was about a mini saga of the lesser known greats. The guys that had the potential to be world champs but lady luck had other plans ie rudolph charousek, mir sultan khan etc. Some interesting stories behind these guys.... Could increase our vast knowledge. Just a thought....
Lasker is one of my favorite players...Capablanca's style bores me much of the time...always in a hurry to exchange pieces and get to the end game...great to see him lose for a change...🤣
In the end (13:59), couldn't Capablanca have played knight to e7? Doesn't that defend everything? Then If Lasker goes Nb7 it achieves nothing as the bishop would be defended. If Capa didn't do it then I'm sure I'm missing something! Can anyone please show me how the game would continue?
Wow, I was all this entire Capablanca saga looking forward to see Capablanca defeat Lasker...and in the decisive moment Lasker won the first game. I understand how Capablanca felt after the game...
Sometimes it feels as if Capablanca is like an engine with his moves and gambit refutations, but when playing against the world champion he faced some difficulties.
Someone commented on this game that the opening gives black a better position, provided he plays actively. But Capablanca was content with a draw, thus played passively. Clever psychology by Lasker. He found positions that did not suit the mode of the opponent. Actually, this may be the reason that he finally lost to Capablanca, who had few weak points that Lasker could explore.
@agadmator I've been interested in chess my whole life, but grew up in an area that does not have a club. Would you be able to do a series on some advanced opennings, middle game and late game strategies?
First game where I felt Capablanca was legitimately out played.
This and the Rubinstein game where Capablanca was sick - he got whooped pretty bad in that one, and this one. He's still very young here, and Lasker was champ for 27 years for a reason. Really interesting rivalry they had here - amazing how Lasker had his number early on, before Capablanca ultimately dominated their championship match.
Yeah, B-B7 was a real lemon.

Old age and treachery will always prevail over youth and skill.
@@marcjohn9404 From the point of view of a 70-year-old (me) a 46-year-old Lasker doesn't look so old! :)
Emanuel Lasker earned an S+ on White Pieces
Jose Raul Capablanca left the room
He earned a chest
I dont know how many people do really understand this
Lasker was a genius, definitely one of the best, I don't understand why he is so underrated when the discussion"who was the greatest player" comes up
Ramiro Perez Because my win rate was markedly better, and I had Staunton running in terror like a scared little girl.
Well, he isnt exactly. Kramnik once wrote an article about all the WC before him and from all of them he praised Lasker the most.

I think Lasker also deserves a saga
Rubinstein deserves it more i think. Sort of a last highlighted player because he was never World Champion and went nuts after that.
Lasker is one of the most underappreciated world champs. Petrosian too.
Yeah totally agree with you. I think his saga would teach more humanistic approach to chess.
Rubenstien and Lasker would be great candidates for a saga.
Lasker was one of the greatest gamers of all time. He figured out what it took to beat each player and carried it out. Without a doubt, one of the greatest chess champions of all time. Despite what that nut ball Bobby Fischer said about him.

Absolutely screw you Martin!
Loving this Saga. Lasker was champ for almost 30 years for a reason - he was very tough to play against back then.
Not possible . Kasparov was the longest reigning champ @ 20
@@mylifematters858 You have bad info my dude, Lasker was undisputed champ 1894-1921.

@Oissev Onos man you're one hell of a lasker fan 👍
I've been waiting for this moment since the 1911 tournament but I never thought it will happen in such a beautiful game
One of the best games I have ever seen! Lasker's control of space is amazing!
i was just waiting for the video man!! Even though it's quarter past one in India, I was badly waiting for it.
Me too

Hard not to root for Lasker with playing a game like this. Especially rushing into Jose's strong suit; the end game.
“Lasker saga” that sounds good saying it 👍 😎
Oissev Onos you have a great day too

Master (Yi)Capablanca vs Dr.(Mundo) Lasker
BORK will do the job
Lasker look like heimerdinger
Finally, Lasker shows him who is world champion :D
With the epic music in the background this turn into something else
I feel like I just watched a heavy-weight title fight. With a KO at the end.
That means there will be a decision not a draw hopefully
still subbed! I know I could look it up, but im just gonna watch these to see who wins the tournament :D
I prepeared for this game with epic music even before you said it, listened to some Sabaton
Lasker was also a first-rate mathematician
how dare youtube think I wouldn't want this content in my life

What a simple beauty by Lasker
Nice video as usual.Keep up with the good work :)
It’s hard to threepeat against the Laskers, just ask the Celstics, the Buslls, or the other NBA teams.
One of my favorite games. CAN'T NO ONE BEAT EMMANUEL LASKER.

wow, so dominated. Respect for Lasker.
I’m just here to enjoy the show!

Was Capablanca familiar with any opening theory?
Sorry sir no longer funny lok
