Hey Agad, I don't post this on all your videos, but I want to say I appreciate your breakdowns and reflections on these wonderful chess games. You have increased my knowledge and love for chess greatly! There's really nothing else to say here 😉
Just wanted to say that your videos single-handedly re-ignited my interest in chess. Your knowledge and passion for the game really shines through. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Capablanca is famed for his preference of Queen+Knight over Queen+Bishop in endgames, and this game is a most excellent demonstration of this technique From right before 12:49 (43. f4), when Black appears to have a fortress, but, by 13:37 with 48. Qxf7, it is remarkable that Capa's sacrifice of two pawns (from Black having a 5-to-4 kingside pawn advantage to 3-to-0) blasts open Black's king like an asteroid / meteorite impact shock wave flattening a forest.
Great Capablanca was famous for his simple artful chess. But actually He always had clear and fantastic plan for follow.How he sacrificed his pawn to trap black’s queen was amazing.
I don’t know what’s happening but you make chess so extremely interesting I’m getting into it! Does anyone know some good books that I can start learning with?

Depends on your strength level but I highly recommend any book by Capablanca and Jeremy Silman. There are others like Bobby Fischer's 60 memorable games (great collection), My System, Soviet Primer, and any of Marovic's books on pawns structure and general improvement. Chess takes a long time to master especially if you do it on your own so take your time and give the knowledge time to set in. In time you will see great improvements.
I watch this channel for a few months now. Started playing chess again. 1200 rating now on chess com 😃 Getting back in shape. Learned chess when i was a kid with that chessmaster 2000 program.
As a spanish speaking suscriber always cheer for Capablanca to win and be considered as the or one of the greatest, and love his lastname and the meaning that can be assigned.
I believe by the end of this month, Agadmator will reach an astonishing 400k subscribers and will provide us with a video of the great magician from Riga in 60 FPS
Thank u !! Agadmator for your videos , I am an attacker as my coach said your Tal , Nezhmetdinov and Morphy videos have helped me a lot . You can expect Sacrificial play from me .. 😉
Very interesting how Capablanca was able to bring this one home with a queen and a few pieces vs. a lot of pieces but no queen, and later with just the queen and knight, but no pawns left.
This is game #22 of "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings." While the game has computer like precision from Capablanca in the end game its definitely not that the kind of game I expected to see in this book. I think this game provides better examples for tactical puzzles and combinations. Still, insane game by Capablanca. I wonder what most GMs would say about Capablanca's technique in this game.
i started playing chess in 2017,,,i was so bad, i literally thought chess is about sacrificing pieces and stuff, but once i started watching agadmator's chess channel i learned that chess it's actually about keeping the good position, i started improving in my games and i already defeated two GMs
Roger Federerc I defeated them in blitz games, I like playing with highly rated players and I always loose,,, sometimes I even think of quitting chess because I find it difficult to be like them. it's my ambition to be a GM one day
After Black's Queen captured the pawn on c3 and White's Bishop captured the black pawn on b5 (at which time it is 7:42), why didn't Black ALSO capture the white pawn on b4 with his Queen? He would with that move not just have gained another pawn, but also instantly have attacked white's Rook on a5, which is not defended at all, and ALSO doubled his attack on the white Bishop that has just landed on b5. Granted, white could solve it, he could move his other Bishop to d2, covering that a5 Rook of his, which than van stay in place so that his Bishop of the white fields also stays covered sufficiently, and it even gets a bit risky for Black's Queen to get out of there alive. But I wonder if it wouldn't be worth it?
Unfortunately, only speakers of Romance languages like Spanish, French and Italian will understand this very nice comment (blanco, blanc, bianco, branco = white)
9:30 -- Nhf8 is the horrible blunder that costs him his queen, and the game. If he had instead gone Nhf6, then after Capablanca's Nd2, Qe6 to safety (since the White bishop can no longer go to d5 and trap her, as d5 is covered by the knight on f6), and Black is actually a slight favorite with his extra pawn.
Have you prepared the 400k subscriber video ? It's gonna be in less than 3 days i guess. Thank you for increasing our vast Knowledge. A fun from Morocco
What a beautiful game! From 9:10 the position kind of reminded me of an old arena, where the black queen was the gladiator trying to survive. The "spectators" are all positioned to the right of the board, while the black queen trapped in the arena has a lot of space to move on, but is surrounded by danger!
13:17 what us the problem with pawn to g6? Edit: it does work to stop checkmate, however white will simply go into a series of exchanges that leaves white up a queen and black up 2 pawns, completely winning for white.
I found a picture of Roy T. Black. This article goes into some detail about the man, so it may be presumed that the picture is accurate. tartajubow.blogspot.com/2017/09/roy-t-black.html?m=1 The full version of this picture is found on another page. It is from a simultaneous exhibition hosted by Samuel Reshevsky. If you go to the following page, and search "10478" on the page, you can go down to the section titled "Reshevsky and Black" to see the picture, and read about the event. www.chesshistory.com/winter/winter155.html According to this second article, the exhibition involved Reshevsky playing against 34 locals, on Wednesday, February 13th, 1952; and Black was one of only two or three players to force a draw -- all others were defeated by Reshevsky.
@Steve Brown Lazy or not he was known as the chess machine and until he got sick and old he almost never lost a game in years. He only lost a match to the great Alekhine and there was no rematch. I don't know who would win but I wouldn't bet against him.

Who is this Capablanca guy? I vaguely remember... something with opening theory... my memory is fading with age...
IchErwin did Capa even know any opening theory?

12:12 Check
In those good old days a rook was an equal to a king.
14:00 those nice old days when the king also gives check to his own knight
Antonio got me laughing my ass off with that check to the bishop and the rook. This chess channel is priceless!
Just wanted to say that your videos single-handedly re-ignited my interest in chess. Your knowledge and passion for the game really shines through. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Very unchesslike to design move 63. Agreed. Should have played 6 more.
Hahaha that's me
I think somebody should remove his like at your comment so you could reach the 63+6 goal
Very interesting,Capablanca using all power that Queen have against other pieces...but also compliments to Mr Black,who was very tough defender 👏🏻

I was about to sleep.. Then a wild capablanca saga appeared..

Best youtube channel not just chess
#suggestion Make another tournament in Lichess arena and then make a coverage of the tournament with a few games from it :)
6:38 "We have rook B8 by Capablanca".
Capablanca was a monster player at those days, playing for both b(B)lack and white.
Hahaha 😂😂😂
Queen and Knight are deadly especially in Capablanca's hands. He always handled them with such ease when pursuing a King.
It really has been months now since we’ve seen a tal game
No Worries, Agadmator is reaching 400K very soon
In the spirit of Mikhail Tal *opening another canned beer*
Hoodie style is back again lol
Let's get it boys
I just wonder WHO and WHY dislike these amazing (arguably the best chess analysis) videos...
I don’t know what’s happening but you make chess so extremely interesting I’m getting into it! Does anyone know some good books that I can start learning with?
Capa Blanca´s books are very good... and great for learning.

And also we get a tals game hurrah
Capa vs Hoodie guy in 60 fps . BTW good game by Capablanca .
Castles by black, not just by black but by Roy Turnbull Black; I almost fell from my chair 😂😂
No you didnt
Capablanca's style reminds me of AlphaZero's
Another one that UA-cam didn’t notify me on!
That was a very fun game to watch. I enjoy the historical information you offer about the chess tournaments.

I checked and I’m still an excellent subscriber
This is the earliest i have ever clicked on a video after it has been released
I like the sagas a lot. Excellent games and vast knowledge
Awesome guy that Rice guy though the name makes me hungry.
I’m still quite a beginner, can someone help? Why did the night not take the pawn on E4 at 4:35? What counterplay would white have
Thanks for your videos!They are always very entertaining :)
That knight vs bad bishop situation prevents the fortress draw. Interesting.
i started playing chess in 2017,,,i was so bad, i literally thought chess is about sacrificing pieces and stuff, but once i started watching agadmator's chess channel i learned that chess it's actually about keeping the good position, i started improving in my games and i already defeated two GMs

Finally another Capablanc game and a brilliant one, of course! ;-)
7:00 "very lonely pawn" is by far the saddest thing ever said on this channel :D
finally back on track.

Adriann this player are not as strong as you are.
after bishop to d2, the black queen and knight on d7 are both under attack and there's no way to defend both.
Thanks. Is a lonely pawn weeker than an isolated pawn :-)
Captain! Why knight captures on E4 is bad?
i love your hoodie....''the dark knight''!
Always on point with Capa 👌
It has to be a good game, Capa'blanca' with the white pieces against 'black' playing the black ones
Just as if they were made to meet and play
Unfortunately, only speakers of Romance languages like Spanish, French and Italian will understand this very nice comment (blanco, blanc, bianco, branco = white)
Great game! Please show more games of Mr black
JOSE RAUL USED TO PLAY "SIMULTANEOUS" GAMES "BLINDFOLDED" WITH "MULTIPLE" PLAYERS!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! 🙆♂️

Antonio, I feel like you and your channel is my family. So close bro.
I would never resign on move 63. I would wait until move 64, even if I have to sacrifice my own king!
Now we get two games a day, awesome 😀
That game was like watching a gazelle being chased, caught and killed by a lion.
8:34 "He decides to give up is passed Pawn... He's Capablanca, he can do that." Right.
Request: Please show a game where Black plays white ;-)

Ah Capablanca is back. I was beginning to think he was dead or something. :-)

Edit: it does work to stop checkmate, however white will simply go into a series of exchanges that leaves white up a queen and black up 2 pawns, completely winning for white.

"He is Capablanca. He can do that"....lol

12:12 another new check.
And another at 14:00.
What if black takes the night with the rook? Is queen vs bishop and two pawns a wining endgame? could black promote one of his two passed pawns?

Capa was a chess genious like Carlsen , Fisher, Tal, Kasparov Etc. their mind are high tech.
How come Black wouldn't take hanging pawn Ne4?
Thumbnail hunt begins!
9:40 Queen to E6, then after bishop to f5 you go to F6?. It ends the queen hunt and just keeps material
At 8:27 can someone explain why rook to a7 was not played? To me it looks like the queen would be trapped then right?
I was thinking the same. There must be something we're missing. Edit: we missed taking the bishop on b5. Queen is guarded by its rook.
Isn't the Casablanca saga being coverd in a linear Way?
