if you chop on c6 with the night(5:09)then after b takes c6 queen takes c6 check, black can defend their rook with bishop d7 and whit's queen has to move plus the fact that black has developt 3 pieces.
well one problem might be (with Nxc6) is Qb6 and then black gets a central pawn and stunts whites dark bishop from coming out and poses problems for white that after the knight moves black can play ...Bb4+
5:04 Nxc6 bxc6, Qxc6 Bd7, Qxd6 Ba4 gaining back the lost pawn, because queen must move. If Qxd8 Rxd8 and black has an active rook in a semi open file and more active pieces going into endgame.
why didn't white in @6:29 protect bishop with pawn H4 preparing to pawn storm king side with the support of the outpost knight opening the H file for the rook if possible , castle long not short and its completely crushing for white and simpler to execute no ? am i missing something ?
In my last game I rejected the win of a rook against a knight because I would loose both of my two developed pieces (bishop and knight against rook and knight) and also making life easier for black I thought (I was alreday a pawn up and ahead in development). Stockfish of course was'nt impressed but evaluation only went from +5,5 (if taking the rook) to +4,0 so I think I was on to something there. Now I also got to play an endgame with a pawn up (need to train those things). 👍
btw im 2100 rn in rapid ( i started 2.5 years ago and i have watched all of your videos until 100 or so (i haven't had as much time rn i'm dorming in school with no pc/phone) i was wondering if you could play with me a game or 2 to tell me what to focus on and what to study or maybe send me a few positions or something of the sort. thnx
These are very helpful....one thing i am facing now is that my simple chess is missing after reaching 2000....i am getting more and more into flank attacks and forgetting basic chess principles. More coverage of capablanca's games please!
Do you recommend playing against bots to improve. I like playing bots as there is unlimited time, I can stop half way and come back to a position with a new mindset and there is less pressure. I quite like it but is it hindering my improvement
@@kishore9678 I watched the entire playlist as it is and it makes sense to me, some of those videos you may want to watch on 2x speed depending on your knowledge but overall everything is important, some videos I even watched multiple times
In your description you say it's not enough to read books or watch youtube videos but to reinforce but how? If not by video or books then by playing? I'm a bit confused. Loved the content btw!
Im sure what he is saying is in line of Bjorn Borgs advice in tennis. He would not advice you to read about strokes and serving. To get better you need to play tennis. Same here, you read/ watch videos and need to look to apply these concepts in games. Just my two cents. Knowledge and skills are not the same
It's interesting because all three of my answers were "wrong". Position 1 I said h4, position 2 I said Bc2, position 3 I said Qh3 With example 1 I agree Qh3 is much stronger than my h4 idea.Inducing f5 and leaving black with that terrible bishop is positionally crushing For example 2 I stand by my move. d5 is a good square but Bc2 -> a4 would dislodge the rook from d8 and free up one of white's rooks to increase the pressure further. This would absolutely maximize the bishop and I believe this would be stronger. However as always Capablanca's idea is simpler, and involves far less tactical calculation. For example 3 Capablanca's move is the simplest, and best move. Qh3! is stylish but in hindsight after 1. Qh3 Kf7 it's still clearly winning for white but there is no immediate knockout blow (in my head I thought Kf7 Qh7+ was crushing but it doesn't actually lead to winning any material)

In your line after Bd7 notice that the Light squared bishop is blocking the Queen's defense of the Dark squared bishop
thanks!

unless white moves the knight to c4
👏💪

and white is down a night for 2 pawns
Increadible lesson on strategy! Thanks Roberto!
Thank you so much for another excellent lesson!
You are more than welcome 👍😎
Brilliant lesson Robert. Truly brilliant.
So glad to see you found value in it, Ewan! 🙌😎
Cool! Was feeling that the video will pop up right away! Gonna get some coffee and enjoy, despite my boss was calling!
Vasylllll! Always nice to see you here. I am having a coffee right now too 👍😅

Fantastic lesson RR just what I needed, thank you. Def need to look up more Capablanca games now
Thank you! 👍😎

thank you for this lesson, after watching this it looks like chess isn't a mess
You are more than welcome! The more we learn the more organized this mess looks 😎

Hello! That would be great 👍
@@NMRobertRamirez in 2 weeks im off school for a month will you have time around then?
Great lesson. Knowledge of stuff like this can bring you from let's say 1500-1600 Fide over the board to 1800-1900 I think. 👍
Absolutely! 💪

You got it! 😎
Another master class! I would suggest some videos with Rubinstein's games. He was fantastic and probably the best in the world in his prime.
Yes! Many consider him way better than Capablanca 👍

Hello Jack! I think a healthy combination ob both bots and humans is best 👍💪
Bro can you please arrange the playlist in correct order plzzz
Hello! It's like that on purpose 😎 After years of feedback it makes sense to have it like that 👍💪
@@NMRobertRamirez then it's good to learn as it is in the playlist am i right sir?

Great video, Thank you!!
Can you please share what board theme you're using? It looks really nice.
Thank you, John! Here it is ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/gDgko9XcqgM/v-deo.html

Nxc6 Qc7 😎
NxC6, BxC6, QxC6, Bd7 just losing for white

Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback 🙌 The most important thing is that you worked on these positions on your own first 💪😎
