"His moves are clear, logical and strong. ... I have known many chess players, but among them there has been only one genius - Capablanca!" Emanuel Lasker 👍👍
Daniel King... you are the man! I haven't watched this video yet, because I'm a handful of videos behind... and I like to watch them all! However, I had to comment to say that I just purchased the double pack from the Chessbase shop with your King's Gambit and King's Gambit Tactics Toolbox videos... and wow! I only just started them, but I love the combination of your instruction and the interactivity! Well worth the money already!!! I only just discovered you in the past year (it was due to your appearances on Chessbase India with Sagar), and I just want to thank you for all that you do! You're tied with Yasser Seirawan for my favorite chess teacher... in fact, I think you might even be better (with no offense to the amazing Yasser Seirawan)!!! You rock!!!
Dan and Pepe Cuenca: masters of the 'boom' finishing move! Also, interesting that Lasker doesn't play the simplifying ...Ne4 variation that bears his name?
I can highly recommend the biography of Capablanca from Miguel A.Sanchez! You mentioned last video that Lasker reclaimed the trophic clima was a match disadvantage for him as an european. Sanchez p 243 Hartwig Cassel who reported the match for the New York Evening Post and the American Chess Buletin, said that the fitst time he saw Lasker was not physiclally fit to play. Ther suffering he experienced during the war naturally weakenend his faculties and when he arrived at Havana early in March he did not by any means look lieke a healthy person. On the other hand, when the match ended Cassel acknowledged, in statements to the same issue of the American Chess Bulletin (may-June 1921), that Lasker had already bounced back. This is the opposite of what usually has been written, that Lasker arrived healthy and retgurned ill: " After Dr Lasker had resigned, wihout playing ten of the scheduled games, and the match had gone into History, the ex-champion, " according to Mr.Cassel, " made a quick revovery, soon became quite chipper and, before he sailed for Spain, was much his old self."
I mentioned in the previous video that there was a discussion in the press afterwards between Lasker and Capablanca, and that Capa had scotched the notion that climate was a factor in the result. As I said before, I agree with you that the privations and trauma of WW1, together with their relative ages, had more to do with the result. In the end, Capablanca played better than Lasker, which the scoreline reflected, and attempting to divine the reasons for that is interesting, but moot.
@@PowerPlayChess An other great player, who could be a world's challenger before WW1, was A. Rubinstein : but he really was crashed by the privations and never recovered his strength after 1918
Capa's sequence of moves in the middle game e.g. e5, Ne4, Nd6, reminds me of the infamous Lasker-Capablanca game from the Exchange Ruy Lopez variation where Lasker has employed those moves. I wonder if Capa took a leaf out of Lasker's book 😉
A comment, reinforcing "Capa capable of various styles", his younger self against Bernstein, St. Petersburg, 1914 ... And a question, What's the origin of the London System? Thanks and Cheers☺
Queen's pawn openings with Bf4 were played in several games in the London 1922 tournament (1st Capablanca, 2nd Alekhine), and I believe that is how it got its name.

Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying my ChessBase videos!
Agreed. King and Seirawan are ... well, the kings of commentary.
@@PowerPlayChess Omg, I had my notifications for replies turned off! Thank you for responding! It means a lot! :) :) :)
Danny, the occasional 'Bam!' might be worth considering.
'Leave them wanting more'.
Dan and Pepe Cuenca: masters of the 'boom' finishing move! Also, interesting that Lasker doesn't play the simplifying ...Ne4 variation that bears his name?
There are many ways to play the QGD. I suspect that Lasker didn’t even know that ...Ne4 was ‘his’ variation.

Thanks for covering my favorite player Lasker 🐣
Your analyses are truly an inspiration for many of us, Sir. I wish you all the very best!
Beautiful game Danny , proper chess game 🥂
Great work once again!
Great analysis as usual
Hope you'll cover capablanca vs alekhine
Maybe in 2027he will cover Capa vs Alekhine, he is covering this match because this match was played 100 years ago
Perhaps it's just me, but Wesley So's play reminds me quite a bit of Capa.
thank you for posting -- i follow many chess content creators, and you are among the best
Thank you!
Among? Since when are the other creators in his league 🤔

Nice catch. I hadn't that game in my mind, but when you bring it up. . . sure maybe he had learned that from Lasker. That was another beautiful game.
Yes, at some point I will take a look at that game. All in good time, lots to do!
@@PowerPlayChess thank you, GM King 😉👍
Just improving slowly and then "une petite combinaison" finishes it
Who might have been working with Gazza on MGP? (other than fritz...)
Garry has a team of people doing a lot of the spadework of research.
Good
Please cover polgar challenge best games
I think we would Benifit more from his systematic approach of completing a particular opening first.
