  • @alex_logunov
    @alex_logunov 5 років тому +3

    Thank you very much for the analysis! I really love this game showing how the estimation of position can change to the opposite because of decisions that seem to be just slightly inaccurate.
    I saw this game in the Russian book called something like "Chess game textbook", game 15, and it has some more findings.
    First, Capablanca saw the winning 53 ... Qh1 move. He supposes that Janowski was too focused to give a check on 1st line and didn't think that the exact field is important.
    Second, Janowski had an opportunity to force a draw by 54... Kc1+, but didn't use it.
    Third, Kasparov commented that 58 ... Qh4!? or 58 ... Qe3!? also could lead to draw assuming accurate game.
    All this says that before the 59th move nobody except Capablanca had an idea that white could win. It makes the game very inspiring.

    These kind of games are my favourite by far!! You have an insane attack as black but Capablanca plays the only moves to defend properly and at the same time turn the tables and win as white. Beatiful game!
    I'm curious, did Capablanca never mention this Qh1 move in one of his books? I'm sure he saw it at least after the game. I'd like to see what he thought of the position

Lots of fighting games. Would love to see your analysis, especially of Reti's big win over Capablanca.

    Thank you very much for the exciting game. David Janowski created such a fierce attack that even Capablanca had to be worried. It is a shame he missed the winning move after such inspired attacking and bravery. I wonder if they analyzed the game after and realized the near miss. Somehow modern games (and draws) seem dull in comparison to active games as this. This game and all the Agadmator videos remind that I know nothing about how to play chess well, and just how great the old masters were.Thank you for your excellent contend and vast knowledge.

    In the line at 23:43, it is true that black would be up 2 pawns, but the white King would be able to grab the a5 and c4 pawns while the black King goes for the pawn in b7...I believe white could still draw the game!!!

    • @Larry_Kabberga
      @Larry_Kabberga 6 років тому +10

      anyways....Stockfish engine gives a devastating advantage to black in this position (-15.99), so definitely Black wins......It is important to notice that black King goes to defend the pawn on c4 instead of going for b7...
      The winning sequence is this:
      1...Kf7 2.Kb2 Ke6 3.Kc3 Kd5 4.Kd2 g5 5.Ke3 g4 6.Ng3 c3 7.a4 Ke5 8.Ke2 c2 9.Kd2 Kf4 10.Ne2+ Kf3 11.Nc1 h1=Q 12.Kxc2 Kg3 13.Kd2 Qxb7 14.Nd3 Qc6 15.Ne1

    • @max1311
      @max1311 6 років тому +2

      I also saw that, but after analysing a little I think that the white king can only grab the c4 pawn, the black king has a way to protect the a5 pawn if he moves correctly. Still a tricky end game for sure.

    at 8:45 black's white bishop should have come for H3, pinned pawn on G2. If white bishop defending then black queen F2 check. Exchange both white bishops. Then black queen H1 check forces white king away from pawn to win with check,Wherever king moves, black queen and horse with open king, checkmate

    At 14:40 ( 1 step before itself) White can play Bishop x e5 as the black knight is pinned for its unprotected queen

    What a game! Insane how it seemed all over for the white pieces and instead it went on to win it!

    13:22 cant u go e5? It attacks the bishop with the pawn and the queen attacks the knight so maybe u win back a piece here?
