Was looking up Corzo's Wikipedia page. It states "He is best known for losing to José Raúl Capablanca." You know you're a super star player when someone becomes renowned just for losing to you
Based on a couple of games I've seen so far from Corzo I think he would be weak master at best. This particular game was riddled with errors although that's not a knock on Capablanca as it required great technical skill to finish the game in fashion. If you're interested in Capablanca's end games you can read "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings."
@@bc_7644 . Because I read the entire book "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings" and analyzed the games using the suggested lines in the book and with stockfish. Also, I play online with a 2200 rating.
This was one of the most fascinating endgames I've ever seen. I just found it really beautiful how Capablanca was able to come up with original strategies with such limited material. The pawn wall he built against the black pawns was incredibly simple and elegant, and his choice to use his king to attack the black pawns, potentially freeing a number of pass pawns while simultaneously threatening to queen, was brilliant. This might be my new favorite chess game.
@@MrSupernova111 no doubt. Fischer in his prime was probably the best player of all time. I was talking about pure raw talent. Capa was notorious for never training before a match or tournament because his raw talent was more than enough to secure a victory. He was unmatched by anyone in the end-game, where his vision and instinct were at their most potent. This game is a perfect example of that!
I really enjoyed this match with Juan Corzo,and I find it very interesting and entertaining that you first show the game where Capablanka lost,because now I always wonder if he will win or lose the next game :D So maybe it's strange,but I would like to see more his wins but also his loses in the future :)
I think the context of this game coming before the previously-uploaded game is interesting. With Corza, Cuban champion, facing a teenager that he knows isn't hot on openings, winning the first two games with opening traps (I think that's fair), Capablanca wising up to that and getting draws and then starting to win against them and then, here, opening with what Corza 'knows' to be a drawish opening for white (d4) and trading off to a drawing position and then getting beaten: it must have hurt his confidence. With Capablanca opening with d4 again in game 11, Corza must have desperately wanted to prove what he believed about the weakness of d4 and that he could win against it... against it played by an inexperienced juvenile.
Hi agad In answer to your question at 10:20, the way you suggested or capablanca played was definitely a way out to win. But there is much easier solution to this question. It's to simply place bishop at d7 and wait for knight to move and capture immediately. Because with bishop at d7 and king at h6 all of knight squares are taken. For example : 1.Bd6 Ng7 2. Bd7 now any square knight moves will be captured and g pawn promoted. 2...Ne8 3. B*e8 K*e8 4. Kh7 and white is completely winning. Regards
Can you please stop uploading? I need to sleep soon to get up for school tommorow Actually nevermind, learning about Capablanca is more important than figuring out how to solve quadratic Equations
It is indeed more important then quadratic equation, but is more important even then linear algebra and geometry that I'm currently studying at University lol
Excuse me Agad, just a friendly suggestion, wouldn't it be nicer if Capablanca's photo be a kid rather than when he was in his prime? I think it'd look really cool and a good fit. If you ever see this, hope you can see through it? If not, that's fine as well, another nice game and video :)
I don’t have the words to describe how capablanca games make me feel. He makes chess look even more beautiful and it’s like a real battlefield on the board when he plays, not just some dudes throwing memorizations at each other
I'm reading "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings" and this is the first game in the book. While Corzo made some errors we have to handed to Capablanca for having the foresight and technical skill to win this game ending especially at such a young age. I'm looking forward to the later games in the book against Nimzo, Lasker, Marshall, and other great players from the past.
The motion tool or engine assistance is great...showing the best moves and their variants always makes me watch and wait for the next video....my wife thinks i need counseling! ;p
@Harry... agree, but I'm always looking ahead at the risks, and in Agadmators case I fear burnout!! Perhaps he should put some games 'in the can' so he can take a vacation now and then.
Yes, but it doesn't work, after you grab the bishop it comes g7 with check and the pawn is promoted after the king moves due to White's control of the g8 square
This endgame and the one in the previous video are in Chernev's book "Capablanca's 60 Best Endings". I need to get to reading that before Agadmator beats me!
Capablanca, a true genius, once said that the only chess genius he'd ever met and known was Sultan Khan. But once going for eight years of competetive play without a single loss--imagine that occurring today (!)--Capa himself could hardly be called modest!
10:20 Why not Be7? I think it is completely winning after a sequence of forced moves Ng7- Kg5 - Ke7 - Bb5 - Ke6 - Kh6 - Nf5+ - Kh7 - Kf6 - Bd7 - Ng7 - Kh6 , you have almost the same position but with the black king in f6 instead of f8 and black is in a partial zugzwang, cant move the king because it must defend the knight , cant move the knight because the white bishop is controlling all the squares it can jump except from h5 that is controlled by the white king. Only posibble moves are a6 or a5, if a6 Bc8 wins the match and if a5 Kh7 - Nh5 - Bg4 - Ng7 - Bd7 - Kg7 - Bc8 and here if Nh5 (again) Kh6 - Ng7 - Bd7 you have the exact same zugzwang position but now black dont have the pawn move resourse and is lost. If instead of Nh5 black plays Ne8 then Bd7 and is the same situation...
So is Mr Capablanca only 13 years old ? The great ones are great from the very beginning. After this game I can see why Capablanca emphasized the end game. Would have loved to see him play Fischer or Kasparov.
Hi i m watching everyday ur videos I think when you said pause the video and think about the move He could put the bichop on e6 - f7 It s a shorter way

That bishop did the most I've seen in a non-checking method
This is fcking amazing endgame technique by a 13 year old Capa.
I was able to connect myself with Capablanca but from second video he started winning so I lost the connection.

This is such a educational game on space in the end game and how powerful a Bishop can be vs a knight in such open space.
You are an excellent chess historian ;) And an excellent content creator too!!!
Interesting to see an endgame with a minor piece and lots of pawns. Capablanca shows everyone how to do it.
Even at 13 Capa is an endgame beast,great upload
Did I say that I am the happiest since the Capablanca Saga begun?! Well, I am!
Captures, Captures, Everything Captures :D 🤣🤣
Poor Corzo didn't know yet that its very bad idea to go immediately to an endgame
Enjoying the JRC a series so far. I knew nothing about him but it is very interesting how he is mostly self taught in his young years
did you hear yawn at 10:45
yea i heard it too. maybe its the soul of capablanca trying to communicate

What an endgame - thanks Agadmator for the analysis

Another proof of Capablanca's strength and skills especially in the endgame even in his early days.
Agadmator is the only chess channel I watch.
Thank you for your videos. They are so incredibly brilliant! You are a great chess teacher my friend. I wonder what your Ranking is?
What amazing endgame play!
Instead of kg7 there was kf6 fork which corzo didn't play?? Agadmator also missed it?? @9:59
agadmators upload consistency is enoungh to earn him a like by itself!!

You're doing very well. Please keep it up!
not good at chess but at 6:16 wouldn't it be better for white king to go h4??
i saw th title and thought "was i dreaming of watching game 9 last time" lol
At 10:04 could black play knight to f6 forking the king and the bishop? Winning the bishop?
..... Nf6+
Kh8 Nxg4
g7+ and white queens on the next move.
At 9:58 wouldn’t Nf6 fork the king and the bishop?
Yes, but it doesn't work, after you grab the bishop it comes g7 with check and the pawn is promoted after the king moves due to White's control of the g8 square
pablo enrique thanks!
Barely 3 minutes into the video and we have a bishop vs Knight endgame
It's so amazing that young Capablanca just knew the best moves. Without studying and not knowing any chess theory.
Im really new in chess 😅 but how could the pawn capture at 4:24 ?
En passant
This endgame and the one in the previous video are in Chernev's book "Capablanca's 60 Best Endings". I need to get to reading that before Agadmator beats me!
Lovely game, I really enjoyed it. Pure elegance from capablanca
Very instructive on the outside passed pawn deflection....kind of like Jozarov’s recent video
It's always hard to decide whether I want to enjoy the show or guess the move. Lol!!
Capablanca, a true genius, once said that the only chess genius he'd ever met and known was Sultan Khan. But once going for eight years of competetive play without a single loss--imagine that occurring today (!)--Capa himself could hardly be called modest!
Kosta Ilijev do you have references for him saying that? I never saw a game of this Sultan Khan.

8:02 a crab with pincers (Immortal pawn game)
10:20 Why not Be7? I think it is completely winning after a sequence of forced moves Ng7- Kg5 - Ke7 - Bb5 - Ke6 - Kh6 - Nf5+ - Kh7 - Kf6 - Bd7 - Ng7 - Kh6 , you have almost the same position but with the black king in f6 instead of f8 and black is in a partial zugzwang, cant move the king because it must defend the knight , cant move the knight because the white bishop is controlling all the squares it can jump except from h5 that is controlled by the white king. Only posibble moves are a6 or a5, if a6 Bc8 wins the match and if a5 Kh7 - Nh5 - Bg4 - Ng7 - Bd7 - Kg7 - Bc8 and here if Nh5 (again) Kh6 - Ng7 - Bd7 you have the exact same zugzwang position but now black dont have the pawn move resourse and is lost. If instead of Nh5 black plays Ne8 then Bd7 and is the same situation...
The greats make it look so easy.
10:24 bd7 would also work right?
So when did Capa start learning opening theory? As good as he was without it, he'd be a real monster with it! And, of course, he was just that.
Why does pushing the the B pawn to b3 ruin the queenside pawn structure?
Who would win an end game between Carlsen and Capablanca?
An amazing endgame
Hey Agad there is going to be a livestream soon?
hello agadmator . i would like ta ask you something. do you really need to know

6:20 isn't Kh4 winning for black?

I don't see the Dutch Defense much in high-level games. Wonder if this is one reason why.
