Following the successes in international tournaments of Moscow (1925) and Moscow (1935), Nikolai Vasilyevich Krylenko again sought to stun the chess world and the Soviet Union with a third international event between Soviet masters and their foreign counterparts. This time, however, he conceived of a more rigorous format, with the ten players (five Soviets and five foreigners) in a double round robin competition. The lineup was impressive, with Capablanca and Lasker being invited back a third time to compete in Moscow, in addition to the previous year's winners, Botvinnik and Flohr. The tournament was held in Moscow's famous Hall of Columns from May 14 to June 8. Capablanca's near flawless accuracy and superiority in the endgame proved to be instrumental in winning first prize by a full point over the future world champion Botvinnik. Lasker, who had always finished ahead of his successor to the crown in prior tournaments, started out strongly, but at 67 years of age he became fatigued more easily and his performance suffered during the second cycle. The tournament brought immense excitement and interest, both to the citizens of the Soviet Union and to the greater world at large. Capablanca's first place was to be one of the last successes against the Soviet Chess School before the triumph of Robert James Fischer 36 years later. It was also the last hurrah for Krylenko, the founder and organizer of the tournament. He was arrested in January 1938, tried and executed later that year.

Capablanca's defense and then counter attack is a joy to watch. Thanks again agamator.
Damn Capablanca really was a monster, awesome game🙂
Capablanca refused to cede any advantages; it seemed like every single move throughout the middle game contained an ingenious threat… one after another after another. And then all of those king moves toward the end! The best way to eliminate a kingside mating attack? Just march your king over to the queenside like a boss! Wow. Absolutely stunning, brilliant creativity.
- " I ask for mineral water, they brought me Vodka... How can i play a good game without my (hips!) concentratio.... (Falls off seat) " (Botvinnik)
Andrew tang joined your arena, this is insane
So many strong players have participated 😁
Damn it! I missed it!!!
Even with the mistake(s) from Capablanca this is one of my favorite games of his. Very good analysis! Thank you!
This is one of great games by young Botvinnik..a couple of winning chances against the world champion Capablanca
I thought so too both played exceptionally well in this game a few mistakes but brilliant
You are right. Botvinik missed the checkmate using Queen and Bishop. Wow !
Is this a dream?
Capablanca games back to back 😍
This is probably my favorite non Tal game on your channel. So much to learn!
Congratulations on 200k! Soon enough you'll hit 1 million, I'm sure of it!
Do u remember this?
.
Studying the opening before the endgame is like trying to win without knowing how to checkmate.
Incredible Endgame the errors by Botonivik costly Casablanca taking full advantage Brilliant counterplay Great Game by Both players I think of games I saw between Ding and Ian I’m not so sure their games could match games like this for excitement Much Thanks Agadmator
Capablanca knew no opening theory or how the pieces even moved during this game.
He probably learned some theory while he was the Champ, but forgot it all again by 1930s!
lol
It’s 1930, nobody used theory back then, you just did what looked best
@@epicmeerkat1677that sounds like how I play 😅I have some success so I must be doing something right but I’m sure they must’ve had books and stuff with theories etc
It's funny how you are trying to hide the 200k tshirt behind the mic xD Anyway, congrats and good luck with the stream, I'll be there ;)
Hey, I used to be able to answer the photo challenges but it is becoming too tough :D
Wonderful game analysis though. Loving your presentation, as always!
Excellent video as always keep up the good work mate ❤️
a thoroughly human game, made more beautiful by its flaws
Great game! Thanks for posting
It's comforting to see even Botvinnik lost won games.
#Tal This is probably my favorite non Tal game on your channel. So much to learn!
Genius Capablanca
Fantastic videos. Very informative. I learn aLOT. Keep on the good work. 👍😁
Wow, great game, even with the inaccuracies, fine analysis!
Payback is Sweet having watched a previous video you made where Casablanca lost to an unknown 14 yr old young man in an exhibition game that Casablanca had a terrible opening game resigning as the Game was far out of his reach of winning I googled to find a game where they played again I believe someone mentioning there is another classical game between the two in whichBotvinnik won I’ll look for that one as well Thanks Agadmator I’ll have to watch this one again it was an Awesome game Great Battle Much Thanks
Capablanca was so good wow
J. R. Capablanca is on the Right. The Lady on the left is probably Gloria Simoni Betancourt, Capablanca's second wife. Capablanca learned late in life that One Woman is Enough Trouble for any Man as his Divorce Proceedings led to a Heart Attack. After all, isn't facing Michael Botvinnik over a Chess Board Enough Trouble?
The best way to not lose a game against Capablanca was not to play the endgame with him
True 🤣
This is the game of two very very similar style of playing
Both botvnik and capablanca are extremely extremely fine endgame players
They tend to gain very very minor advantage out of opening and convert it to a win dam
Super game by 3rd world champion 🏆 Jose Raul Capablanca Y Graupera and 6th world champion 🏆 Mikhail botvinnik. Thanks master adgamator
Mikhail Botvinnik - Jose Capablanca 1938. Was a great match
Vo finale da ve vidam prijatele , pozdrav od Makedonija ...
Came to see this again while the Capablanca series is on.
Even better question in the photo challenge: Whose shadow is that?
SHILLONG MATHEMATICS Tals dad
His time is fine especially if you want to analyze the game. Keep doing what you are doing majstore.
Capablanca is by far the best
Loved ......French Cut........Looking Handsome......!!
You people are really fast. I clicked as soon as the notification came. Already 50 views.
SHILLONG MATHEMATICS bro our net is kind of slow ree.
very interesting game and great commentary.
Gomez and Wednesday Addams? Jean-Paul Sarte and Simone de Beauvoir? Well done on 200k !
No world cup today.... good day for videos!
The goat of chess, capablanca😎
You are the reason i love chess
Nice one
Very nice game! The penultimate mistake wins! 😁
I really like the intro, hello everyone!!
Capablanca THE best of all time!!!!!!!!!!
Top 10 Greatest Chess Players:
1. *Magnus Carlsen* (Norway) 7+ Years as World No.1 , Highest Rating: 2882 (ELO)
The greatest in the toughest competitive/computer era . He has the highest ELO Rating (2882) and he earned a draw vs World No.1 Kasparov @ age 13. He can play 20 players simultaneously while blindfolded, remembering each game & winning them all. (FAR more impressive than Fischer playing simultaneous games in the 60's). *The Mozart of Chess* !
2. *Gary Kasparov* (Russia) 23 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2851 (ELO)
He held the World's No.1 position 2nd longest in history @ 23 Years. He has the 2nd highest ELO Rating (2851). His longevity, dominance and genius cannot be denied. Gary must be ranked No.1 or No.2 on anyone's greatest chess players of All Time -- I'm good with anyone putting him at No.1.
Gary is No.2 on my list because: (1) The competition is at its highest 'historical peak' right now as chess is driven by the aggregate accumulation of knowledge (i.e. increasing volume of games, styles, computers, etc.). (2) His ELO Rating is 2nd to Magnus. (3) When Magnus was age 13 he earned a draw with Gary who was world No.1 then. (4) Magnus has that superhuman ability of playing 20 players simultaneously while blindfolded, remembering each game & winning them all.
3. *Bobby Fischer* (USA) 9 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2895 (Chessmetrics)
He changed the game more than any player since Morphy in the 1850's. He stopped the Russians dominance during the tumultuous Cold War era. His style & innovation are evident in every era since his career. He's the most dominant short term player ever @ 1, 2, 3 years, tied with Kasparov @ 5 years & tied with Capablanca @ 10 years (Rybka Chess Program).
4. *Jose Capablanca* (Cuba) 7 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2877 (Chessmetrics)
5. *Anatoly Karpov* (Russia) 8 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2848 (Chessmetrics)
6. *Paul Morphy* (USA) 20 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2796 (Estimated)
7. *Mikail Botvinnik* (Russia) 7 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2881 (Chessmetrics)
8. *Alexander Alkehine* (Russia) 11 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2860 (Chessmetrics)
9. *Wilhelm Steinitz* (Austria) 20 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2826 (Chessmetrics)
10. *Emmanual Lasker* (Germany) 24 Years as World No.1, Highest Rating: 2876 (Chessmetrics)
My Ranking is based on 7 Determinants:
1. Dominance in their Era.
2. Length of Time as World #1 in their Era.
3. Impact on the Game in Style & Innovation for Future Eras.
4. Strength of Competition.
5. The "Je Ne Sais Quoi" of the player -- the extra 'something special' in their playing style or talent.
6. Highest Ratings by either ELO (started in early 1970's) or Chessmetrics.
7. Markovian Model of Computer Predictions "Head to Head" (26,000 games).
Note:
One could argue that All the Top Players today and several in the past half-century are worthy to be included on any Top Ten List (specifically No's 4-10). Hence, most lists are subjective to a certain degree. My list is objective and gives credibility/respect to greatest players in their historical era's and for developing the game the most! Most chess enthusiasts agree that Magnus, Gary & Bobby are in the top 3 All Time at present. It is very intriguing to imagine what a player like *Paul Morphy* would have done in today's era with the accumulated chess knowledge and computers because he played the modern 'positional execution style game' 100 years before his time... [Q:] Anyone else want to see *Magnus vs Alpha Zero* ??
That is not a fair comparison and you know it. Fisher studied and learded from Capablanca the same with the rest of players. Is not a coincidence that are in chronological order as well. Each one of them studies the previous players. However capablanca was a talend he did not had almost any influence from other players and was quite lazy to study which is proven by his games with Alehine who was by far inferior of him but did win him after studing his style.
I Love Capablanca! It's not a coincidence that I have him at No. 4 but perhaps he deserves to be higher? Remember, most Top lists are subjective to a certain degree. Mine is for fun and to evoke debate. When we debate we learn from one another. Thanks for your reply. Do you want to share your Top 10?
Emanuel Lasker said: "I have known many chess players, but only one chess genius: Capablanca." Bobby Fischer "looked at Capablanca's performances with awe." Boris Spassky considered Capablanca "the best player of all time." The world lost him to early at age 53!!! The Greatest Chess Minds are: *Paul Morphy* (1837-84), *Jose R. Capablanca* (1888-1942), *Bobby Fischer* (1943-2008), *Garry Kasparov* (1963-retired), *Magnus Carlsen* (1990-active).
Capablanca and his wife Olga Capablanca Clark - though I can't be sure which is on the left or right?
cabapkanca and his doughter
Botvinnik is the father of modern chess. Period.
Botvinnik beat Capablanca when he was 12. Incredible!
but that was in a simultaneous game, Capa was playing againt many other players at same time.....sooo, i
it was not a big surprise his defeat, considering he played against one of those who would be one of the best players in history
Wow! What a Roller coaster match, I thought fo sure Botvinnik would win
Hey agadmator!
Can you please consider changing the time format in today's stream 2+1 or 2+2?
#suggestion Anyway, please consider streaming more frequently (maybe even weekly) if you can :)
I'm sure a lot of people would like that but 1+0 is the standard format for good reason. I can play up to 70+ moves in 1+0 time control and often win with checkmate (in a lot less moves). I honestly think that 2+inc is an eternity for lots of bullet players. The games could go on a very long time. My point is I don't think its a good format for a bullet tournament. I understand that in an event with many class A or title players its seemingly impossible to come up with good replies but I'm sure a lot of bullet players feel the way I do.
EDIT: I can't remember if the tournament by Agad is 1+0 or 2+0 but the point about the increments is the same. Good day!
Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts. #Tal
Casablanca tossled his king into active mode as if it is a ballet dancer
#suggestion .@ 8:16 even Qd1 would have worked though it wouldn't have changed anything much
This game is equivalent to Tal vs Fischer.Tal and Fischer are probably the best attacking players (Kasparov included)
Similarly,Capa & Botvinnik are probably the best positional players ever (some may argue about Anatoly Karpov)
Loved the game !!!
do another rashid game!
Mr. and Mrs. Capablanca
Goood old Jose Raul :-D

Hi Agadmator,
Thanks so much for casting some old Capablanca games and more generally for the quality of your videos !
If you could one day comment the following Mastapiece, I would be really grateful as it is one of my favourite games :

Hey agadmator, can you please cover the game number 13 between Fischer and Spassky in 1972 ? brilliant game
R10naldinho VXll you can vote for 1971 candidate and entire 1972 wcc
Agad, please use a less stressful time format.😂😂
What?
Kasper Piskorski tourtunament is 2+0
I dont understand.
Ithink he's pertaining to the stream
I think he means that agad speaks fast
Botvinnik used Réti opening against Capablanca, so I
#suggest Réti vs. Capablanca 1924
Nice hair cut Antonio ...
Leela v0.26.3 agrees with most of Botvinnik's choices in this game, except for that Be7 move, Be5 would have been better, or that b6, Qa5 is suggested by leela.
As usual Capablanca in form... #Tal
luck favours the best!
The great Joseph Raoul Whitecape
well played #tal
Photo challenge.. is it Frankenstein and the bride of Frankenstein?
I have never seen botvinik winning a game
i have strted playing chess becuaze of u man ..
Omg primus :D
you should put their elo by their names:)
sir plzz show us match between ever played between Capablanca vs boby Fischer
You forgot the 3rd point in the photo challenge, to whom does the shadow of the person taking the picture belong to?
Botvinnik looks like Don Draper in this picture
You said it is a huge threat and didn't explain it !!!!!
On the photo I think it's Capablanca and his wife?! This game is really pure excitement, a true chess thriller!
I wish Agadmator would also teach chess in another channel.
Please comment on the match Capablanca vs. Alekhine 1927, where Capa lost his world champion title.
I feel like botfinik should go for a alekines gun setup
waiting for the live streem if we play the game it is hard to watch ur live streem
7:45 What's wrong with gxf4? Everything seems fine for white here. Maybe I'm missing something...
Yes.
2:50 It's been some moves now that I would have considered Bc5 to kick the queen back and also develop with tempo. Why is that not good?
Idk
Can you present the match from 1996 in masters final between Kasparov and Anand ? (Most amazing game from that match)
Use #suggestion otherwise he will not respond to request.
droceretik okay but why ?
1:06 match starts
We can find the game start by fast forwarding. Your post suggests that you would prefer to go straight to the game and don't like the player profiles. I like the match preamble with player profiles and match context. I am sure that the great majority of his followers appreciate his commentary and analysis and would not skip to the move 1. There is a very good reason he has reached 200,000 subscribers.
Capablanca was lucky not to lose this.
#suggestion Rashid Nezhmetdinov Vs Borris Spassky, Moscow 1957
Guys what does Agadmator say on 1:18 about the bishops? (Finaccho or something)
Ok just researched it's finachetto
The person who made the next to the last error lost, because Botvinnik also made the last error.
Where is the dog...? The real entertainer....I miss him.
nice video as always but, as other people may have noticed, you pronouce Jose Raul wrongly.
Wrongly doesn't seem right.
4:37 bishop back to f satan-
PS: Capa's wife's name was Olga (if am right about the photo ID)... Cheers!
Capablanca was an easy pick but I wasn't too sure of the female.
