Capablanca was basically a computer. I can’t fathom how someone is able to make that many intense calculations. That attack by Marshall was ridiculous, and Jose played the perfect moves. Insane
At first I assumed that Capablanca was going to get destroyed in this game, but then I remembered that Capablanca played without any knowledge of chess theories and openings. So it should be business as usual.
To beat the Marshall without knowing the Marshall requires the ability of a Capablanca. This 12. ... Nf6 variation, largely superseded by 12. ... c6, is relatively little known, but I have just about analyzed it to death. In 1972, I, rated about 1700 at the time, pulled out 12. ... Nf6 on a master, with a rating of 2364. He didn't know the line, and I absolutely crushed him. A win over a master in a tournament game; that was the greatest moment of my life in chess. Learn 12. ... Nf6. As black, it gives you a wonderful surprise weapon with which you may beat a much stronger player who doesn't know it; as white, if you know the right lines against it, it neutralizes that weapon; with correct play by white, black can't do better than a very arduous draw.
Thank you. Poor Frank Marshall - all those wonderful sacrificial ideas, he must have thought the attack was unstoppable, especially with no computers to do the hard work for him or Capa. I am still impressed by all the ideas, and Capablanca's comment before playing 9 ed5: "I thought for a little while before playing this, knowing that I would be subjected thereafter to a terrific attack, all the lines of which would be of necessity familiar to my adversary. The lust of battle, however, had been aroused within me. I felt that my judgment and skill were being challenged. I decided that I was honor bound, so to speak, to take the pawn and accept the challenge, as my judgment told me that my position should then be defensible." It is still beyond me how anybody can see, at this point, that 15. d4 is the crucial refutation. Wonderful stuff.
That d4 indicates that he foresaw the necessity of an escape route and that he considered it an escape route that could not be nullified. Wish I had that insight.
thisnicklldo When playing chess there can be a perfect refutation to every move made that nullifies the attack, or the counterattack. So, therefore, by the process of survival (if, you want to call it such) it's imperative to find the most precise line of refutation. Hence, the play of Capablanca!!! Amazing!!! Intuitively and through calculaction he almost always arrived at the best lines of continuaton. When I played at an advanced stage a long long time ago I would stumble on a good or excellent move otherwise, I would lose the game. For average players that happens once in awhile or seldom, but for GM's and experts this is rather the norm!!! Supercomputers such as engines and now neural chess engines play a dance of dozens of moves where they dance around the board to reduce their opponents balance and or piece superiority positionally, either in the form of mobility or functionality.

I think Marshall was expecting Capablanca to win this game. For true GM, found a worthy opponent who can answer his mighty attack is a true enjoyment. "The day I lost a game against Rashid Neshmetdinov is a happiest day of my life." Mikhail Tal
This might be one of my favorite games with the story you gave. First time Capablanca sees this attack and he sees the best move every single time. Fascinating.
This old version of the Marshall enabled me to have the single biggest tournament win in my life. My rating was about 1700 at the time. My opponent was rated about 2360. 12. ... c6 is too well known. But 12. ... Nf6, Marshall's original move, is obscure now--but I've played it many times. With correct play, White escapes, but one mistake and White is dead. Good as he was, my opponent wasn't familiar with the old line, and it allowed me to beat a master, rated almost 700 points higher than myself. Unfortunately, I'm a very disorganized person; I wish I still had the score, but it was in Monterey, California, in February, 1972, the best tournament in my life. I tied for the win in the tournament, with three wins and two draws (both draws against experts). I heartily recommend knowing the old 12. ... Nf6
And what you think about a person that was capable to defend himself and win the game against the creator of the variation? His "chess mind" was superior than any other any time on this world. And ever will be.
The commentator was taken to task for saying that Capablanca was not playing as he had described-solving problems over the board without previous opening preparation. So he offered this up as a refutation.
Just thinking a few minutes. And how the hell he could know that he will be in trouble if he took that pawn. He seems to calculate some variants since in that moment by the way.
@@mizofan this actually is saddening MarshalI prepped but you saying he can't do the same? Stop. Also if we reach same capacity this doesn't mean he's better just efficiency or preferred but that is useless in terms of a game.
Frank Marshall: *prepared and hid for eight years one of the deadliest attacks in chess history, with a lot of traps and only one right answer on each move.* Capablanca: -Anyway. *99.99% Accuracy* This man was a freaking computer.
This game is an awesome example of two amazing things: 1 - How a hard worker can create such a beauty. 2 - How geniality can make any hardworker seems like a pupil. Capablanca should have charged Marshal for this chess' class. By the way. Thank you again Agadmator for any amazing video. For sure, one of the best.
I feel more sad by the fact that Marshall lost than being happy about the fact that Capablanca won....such a shame to lose such a great game when you know the opening for almost 8 years
One of the most amazing games ever! That Capablanca found those winning moves over-the-board is mind-boggling. Also, the quote of Capablanca is so counter-intuitive, so different than most people believe, that it...and this game...proves that Morphy and Capablanca know things that the rest of us don't.
@donkbonktj5773 it doesn't change the fact that José was still amongst the top 5 players in the world acc to Chessmetrics rankings and Sultan Khan was an illiterate slave of a Rawalpindi landowner who learned the rules of chess only a few years previously. Capablanca was a genius but Sultan Khan was a bigger genius than him.
It's now 103 years later. Chess commentators are still frequently referring to Marshall and Anti-Marshall type positions in the current World Championship match between Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi. Frank Marshall would surely be pleased that the best game he ever lost has left his name stamped on the world of Chess.
Just found this video, in my humble opinion, it's one of Agadmator's best. He clearly explains all the lines that Marshall came up with for his attack, and how fiendishly clever they were. I had always heard that this was a great game, but I didn't realize how great it was until I saw the way the lines played out against Capablanca if he made any mistakes at all. Seeing how cleverly Marshall planned his attack gives me a better understanding for how brilliantly Capablanca played to defeat it over the board. Very nice work!
These videos are somehow very easy to follow for someone who barely gets chess. But you've gotten me into chess, I was told not to study any opening to seriously till I get better but I'm learning a lot of the basics. Thanks for making these complex matches easy to follow
This is so amazing, how Capablanca, with an accuracy of 99.7%, had a literally perfect game! Marshall's First Mistake was 16. Bg4, his second mistake 34. h6, and 35. Rh3 was the final blow
I've seen this game many times and this is one of my favorite games of all time. capablanca was probably literally the only person in the world at the time who could have defended against the marshall attack. I tip my hat to marshall for his preparation and wanting to reveal against a strong player, but capa is just too good
@@nigelfarage4119 I really doubt it. Just compare Capablanca's attack against him from the St Petersburg tournament, just a few years before this game. It was by far weaker than Marshall's, and yet Alyechin didn't manage to refute it.

I heard of chess super computer study of grand masters games, which revealed Capablanca played with the least amount of errors even compared to Fisher and Kasparov! He was a walking chess machine!
This is one of my favourite of all Agadmator videos. I have watched it a dozen times, and the way Antonio analyzes the game is very entertaining and educational. Another very “edutaining” Marshall Attack video is Vladimir Kramnik vs. Peter Leko from their World Chess Championship match.
i didnt see this game i think its my favourit of all time . a real war on the board thank you agadmator for showing all variations of the attacs happy new year !
Coming back to this in 2022. Surely among the greatest games of chess ever played, and surely one of Agadmator's best videos, a masterpiece of concise and enthralling presentation.
Man I thought Capablanca would lose this game hopelessly in the beginning when Marshall unleashed a deadly attack. But the way Capa defended and actually won this game brought tears to my eyes. Capa 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Oh boy what a great video!!! Because the game, the history behind, and because in my case wasnt aware of any of this, and even if not playing this opening exactly there are still a lot of tactic ideas to learn from and use in similar positions. That is why Agad you won the Internet today... Maybe even this week !!! Cheers.
That game was so intense. Way to not crumble before black's pressure. It felt lile a climax in a movie that just never ended. Your style and savviness with how to pace your videos makes for a very nice flow - You really make me look forward to chess videos and to see your next analysis, and to imagine that you influence so many people like that gives me joy. Kudos, sir.
All u noobs saying Marshall wud have been depressed and disappointed, if I were Marshall I would have been proud of the way my greatest weapon was defended and that I chose the right opponent to unleash it to.
Its 2021.....still an amazing video.....but......your new material is so much better man.....i LOVE seeing the evolution of your videos....fantastic job
Loved the longer theory lines. 20 minutes or less feels just about right for length. I also like the 10 minute ones as I can watch them as my car warms up in the mornings. :D
Savage. Marshall must have been so miffed. Such a dangerous attack. I wonder if Marshall was stoic about his loss here to Capa? 8years is a long time to prepare a chess gambit! Ps I came here after watching the Capa series... Watching this was recommended by agad. I'm glad I re watched it as it was full of ideas. Thanks again agad x
Maybe he was sad but imagine preparing an opening for 8 years and saving it for someone worthy, then you use it and obliterate the guy. It would be pretty underwhelming ngl, so I think he was rather satisfied with this game later.
Agad you didn't upload for past two days and constantly i was waiting for your upload, its like i am addicted to your amazing chess channel. Now i have to watch the exciting games of past. So thank you 💝 love from Manipur.
This game blew my chess world .. As I'm just a begginer at chess right now.. And found a new idol capablanca (as how he destroyed a 8 year long preparation in a matter of some hours). So much thanks to u Agadmator. Love ur videos.
Wow, my god you are good, I seen and read this game analysis a number of times but your version beats them all, so succint and clear in all the variations. Ths
I recall reading a comment by Capablanca where he said that he realized by how fast Marshall was playing that he was facing home preparation of a new move and that he had walked into a trap and really needed to concentrate.
Hey Agad, love that you're going back to the older games. Showing the tournament scoreboard at the end gave me a thought: Why not go through one of the older tournaments round by round, similar to the way you do with current tournaments? There were so many legends in some of these older tournaments, there would be a lot of interesting games to choose from, I think. You could highlight interesting games, and give updates on the scoreboard, just like you do with modern day tournaments. Maybe each day cover the most interesting game or two from that round, and spread one tournament over a week or so. Just a thought, and thanks for all of the great chess content!
In a way I imagine Frank would of been proud to of chosen such a worthy adversary for his legendary attack. If you've saved this for 8 years as it is rumoured only to use it and have the opponent crumble at the first problem (14. hxg4) would you not feel that maybe there were someone more worthy to of used it on? Someone who's skills were more deserving of such a devastating attack? Perhaps the fact that he managed to refute it confirmed this was the right person to try it on rather than upset him, as it almost proves how strong Jose was for his time.
Seeing this game for the second time. Stoked at the brilliancy of Capablanca for finding the moves to counter Marshall over the board Edit: what can I say about marshal
It's insane Capablanca found such counter attacking moves over the board with the time ticking.. Marshall shouldn't have waited for a worthy opponent to test his attack.
You are one of the best , sorry strike that, You are the best. My son Caelan (7 years) is also a big fan of your work. It felt as if I was there in the game, on the board. Magnificent work, dude!!!!!
Capablanca was basically a computer. I can’t fathom how someone is able to make that many intense calculations. That attack by Marshall was ridiculous, and Jose played the perfect moves. Insane
Yes!! At his peak Capablanca only lose ONE game in TEN years!
GOAT?!
He is capablanca for a reason
It is no wonder Capablanca nick name was "Human Chess Machine".
What others could not see in a month's study, he saw at a glance for chess was Capablanca's mother tongue.
Was thinking the exact same thing man... that attack was very nasty and aggressive... that was a perfect defense.
At first I assumed that Capablanca was going to get destroyed in this game, but then I remembered that Capablanca played without any knowledge of chess theories and openings. So it should be business as usual.

Another very “edutaining” Marshall Attack video is Vladimir Kramnik vs. Peter Leko from their World Chess Championship match.
Marshall: - I prepered this new amazing attack for 8 years.
Capablanca: - But you forgot about this move.
Marshall: - Oh God, I want to die.
Props to Capablanca for finding all these excellent moves over the board.
i didnt see this game i think its my favourit of all time . a real war on the board thank you agadmator for showing all variations of the attacs happy new year !
Greatest attack and defence I have ever seen.....it's really a great game...
Imagine Tal versus Marshal.
@@rockopolo3247 the chessboard will be explose heheh
Simply incredible performance from Capablanca against an attack that he never saw before! Chapeau!
Coming back to this in 2022. Surely among the greatest games of chess ever played, and surely one of Agadmator's best videos, a masterpiece of concise and enthralling presentation.
Watching this now as Agadmator wanted to increase my vast knowledge via the top link in today’s video
A very great player cooks up an attack for 8 years and unleashes it. The opponent deconstructs and beats it in 8 minutes. Legend!
Man I thought Capablanca would lose this game hopelessly in the beginning when Marshall unleashed a deadly attack. But the way Capa defended and actually won this game brought tears to my eyes. Capa 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
Caballero Maestro Capablanca. Impresionante su calidad contra el monstruoso ataque Marshall. Wow!!!!!!
Best game I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Unreal brillance.
The supreme genius of chess, and a fine video (by that i don't mean agadmator is the supreme genius of chess, but a job well done!)
I can't believe capablanca managed to pull through
Weird as hell!
Watching it now to be an excellent (and chronological) subscriber as we continue this very nice Capablanca saga.
Oh boy what a great video!!! Because the game, the history behind, and because in my case wasnt aware of any of this, and even if not playing this opening exactly there are still a lot of tactic ideas to learn from and use in similar positions. That is why Agad you won the Internet today... Maybe even this week !!! Cheers.
Una gran partida, un tremendo e innovador ataque, una maravillosa defensa y contraataque y un gran análisis.
Gracias, Maestro😊
That game was so intense. Way to not crumble before black's pressure. It felt lile a climax in a movie that just never ended.
Your style and savviness with how to pace your videos makes for a very nice flow - You really make me look forward to chess videos and to see your next analysis, and to imagine that you influence so many people like that gives me joy. Kudos, sir.
0:55 "The American Beauty" -- ummm what a game, I knew you'd mention it here. And glad you did.
All u noobs saying Marshall wud have been depressed and disappointed, if I were Marshall I would have been proud of the way my greatest weapon was defended and that I chose the right opponent to unleash it to.
Its 2021.....still an amazing video.....but......your new material is so much better man.....i LOVE seeing the evolution of your videos....fantastic job
Rewatching this for like the third time just to be an excellent subscriber.
Absolutely brilliant to fend that attack off. I would've gotten checkmated after 20 moves. Can't believe he played this just over the board
Capa is the father of modern chess and inspiration for Fischer ,Karpov etc etc
Loved the longer theory lines. 20 minutes or less feels just about right for length. I also like the 10 minute ones as I can watch them as my car warms up in the mornings. :D
@agadmator loved this game very much, and thank you for showing so many possibilities.
you are really doing a great job.. cheers!
Savage. Marshall must have been so miffed. Such a dangerous attack. I wonder if Marshall was stoic about his loss here to Capa? 8years is a long time to prepare a chess gambit!
Ps I came here after watching the Capa series... Watching this was recommended by agad. I'm glad I re watched it as it was full of ideas. Thanks again agad x
Maybe he was sad but imagine preparing an opening for 8 years and saving it for someone worthy, then you use it and obliterate the guy. It would be pretty underwhelming ngl, so I think he was rather satisfied with this game later.
What a player Capablanka was! Pure genius.
To play so accurately and find all these moves Bd2!! especially is nuts. Capa was an engine himself. Kudos to Marshall for his contribution to chess.
Agad you didn't upload for past two days and constantly i was waiting for your upload, its like i am addicted to your amazing chess channel. Now i have to watch the exciting games of past. So thank you 💝 love from Manipur.
Legendary. It never gets old no matter how many times I see it.
This is the single greatest chess game of all time
One of your best videos
This game blew my chess world ..
As I'm just a begginer at chess right now..
And found a new idol capablanca (as how he destroyed a 8 year long preparation in a matter of some hours).
So much thanks to u Agadmator.
Love ur videos.
Not hours, but minutes to blow up this, like no other will be capable to do it.
This game is proof that time machines exist. Capablanca had one, and jumped to the future to check out what Stockfish said about the game.
Wow, my god you are good, I seen and read this game analysis a number of times but your version beats them all, so succint and clear in all the variations. Ths
I really enjoyed watching this game ...
Capablanca is the greatest player in The history of chess and this game is no exception to it.
This attack looks so fun to try! great answer by Capa
Entertaining and informative as always, thanks Antonio!
I recall reading a comment by Capablanca where he said that he realized by how fast Marshall was playing that he was facing home preparation of a new move and that he had walked into a trap and really needed to concentrate.
I've seen this game so many times, but you analyze it best of all.
Astonishingly beautiful game. Thank you for presenting it.
Great video! Very nice analysis.
Love Capablanca!
Hey Agad, love that you're going back to the older games. Showing the tournament scoreboard at the end gave me a thought: Why not go through one of the older tournaments round by round, similar to the way you do with current tournaments? There were so many legends in some of these older tournaments, there would be a lot of interesting games to choose from, I think. You could highlight interesting games, and give updates on the scoreboard, just like you do with modern day tournaments. Maybe each day cover the most interesting game or two from that round, and spread one tournament over a week or so. Just a thought, and thanks for all of the great chess content!
He'd probably forgotten how it worked after eight years
Funniest comment of my year!
Great comment.
Now I, far from a GM, usually forget my prep by the time I have finished putting my pieces away.
Nope. Capablanca executed the moves perfectly
In a way I imagine Frank would of been proud to of chosen such a worthy adversary for his legendary attack. If you've saved this for 8 years as it is rumoured only to use it and have the opponent crumble at the first problem (14. hxg4) would you not feel that maybe there were someone more worthy to of used it on? Someone who's skills were more deserving of such a devastating attack? Perhaps the fact that he managed to refute it confirmed this was the right person to try it on rather than upset him, as it almost proves how strong Jose was for his time.
Seeing this game for the second time. Stoked at the brilliancy of Capablanca for finding the moves to counter Marshall over the board
Edit: what can I say about marshal
8:10 I was thinking of Qxa8 but I figured there’s also Qxf2+ Kh1 Qxf1#.Lesson learned the most obvious moves aren’t always the best choice
Saved it for 8 years to lose! Oh the pain! Wish we had clock data and face cams for reaction shots.
FJ Marshall : Handle my Marshall Attack...
Capablanca : Yes
I love your channel. Thanks for this!
It's insane Capablanca found such counter attacking moves over the board with the time ticking..
Marshall shouldn't have waited for a worthy opponent to test his attack.
You are one of the best , sorry strike that, You are the best. My son Caelan (7 years) is also a big fan of your work. It felt as if I was there in the game, on the board. Magnificent work, dude!!!!!
+Peter Huypens Thank you very much Peter! Say hello to Caelan for me :)
