Jose Raul Capablanca vs Frank James Marshall
"Novelty Gift" (game of the day Jan-15-2018)
New York (1918), New York, NY USA, rd 1, Oct-23
Spanish Game: Marshall Attack. Original Marshall Attack (C89)

The Marshall Attack was introduced by Frank Marshall in a famous game against Capablanca in 1918. According to legend, Marshall saved this prepared innovation for eight years before getting the chance to play it against Capablanca. This seems unlikely, and in fact the gambit had been played earlier in a few obscure games including a consultation game in Havana, although there's no evidence that Marshall knew of these games. Capablanca weathered the Black attack and won brilliantly. Improvements to Black's play were found (Marshall played 11...Nf6 instead of 11...c6) and the Marshall Attack was adopted by top players including Boris Spassky.
New York 1918 was originally planned as an 8-player double round robin tournament. Norman Tweed Whitaker began a game a day before Round 1, became ill and withdrew from the event, leaving it as a 7-player field. New York (1924) appears to be the next international tournament that the city would see in this series. (1)
Round 1 saw the most famous game of the tournament. Marshall sprung his prepared variation of what has come to be known as the Marshall Gambit, but Capablanca wove his way through the complications at the board to win the game. Kostic drew with Chajes. In Round 2, Marshall lost to Chajes, and Marshall was never able to overcome the bad 0-2 start and catch Capablanca and Kostic. Janowski lost to the eventual tail-ender, Morrison, and this was the beginning of a lackluster result for him. In Round 4, Marshall beat Janowski, but this was a bit too late to reverse his fortunes. Kostic beat Morrison, but drew five of his first six games. Despite going undefeated in the tournament, this would not be a sufficiently fast pace to catch Capablanca, who would score a blistering 10.5/12.

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.
Any knowledge, really? Or a kind of alpha zero knowledge? ;)
Yes, any chess theory knowledge
You’re funny : >
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 Nf6 variation, largely superseded by 12.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.
@@kenhowes9951 I want to play the Marshall attack. Are there any nice books on the subject or any nice youtube videos you would recommend?
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.
"if you play this your entire world will crumble before your eyes" Loool
Yea that and "well your king is on d4 sooo..."
@@gimiked8685 @mehmet Both amazing shirts
Got to love Agadmator lines.. Right
I would be depressed if I were a grandmaster and I saved an attack for 8 years before trying it and losing.
Thats why you’re not a grandmaster.
@@TheClockwerkman I have a feeling a grandmaster would feel that way and it is irrelevant that he is not a GM.
@@dannygjk
A real gm would have the mental fortitude to not let such things bother his playing ability, at least.

I can't believe I just watched a 20 min chess analysis without ever pausing to look at the duration. Very interesting game.
+Aron Que Marr -Arun Kumar Thanks, thought it was a bit long, but it's an important game
Put the speed of video on 1.25, just as clear, 25% faster.
@@agadmator the video was extremely informative .I was in shock for almost the whole match . Thank you sir!
That my friend, Is the Agadmator effect
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 He thought for a little while. Marshall waited for 8 years
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.

_laughs in Ivanchuk_
Vasily, your king is on d4
One of Capas opponents wrote: "...it is difficult to look he in the eyes because he has the eyes of the man with superior thinking ability. "
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 game was a loss, but the marshall attack was an enormous contribution to chess and he didn't lose in vain.
In vain*
Veins are in your body
He lost to prove that Capablanca was the greatest and ever will be.
took Marshall 8 years to perfect this opening and Capablanca refutes it in one game
Didn't say he used those eight years to perfect it.
That is why capablanca is still considered the best player in the world
global hindu By who???
@@lehmanbrothers6938 By our friend, global hindu. Obviously.
@@globalhindu7985 Ben finegolds father considered him so 🤔
This game is so ridiculous that Capablanca was able to play the perfect defense against an attack he’s never seen just over the board. It’s unreal
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.
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.
first time i saw the title i was thinking about Marshall would had won this match, but Capablanca is out of this world
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.
Frank Marshall every day for 8 years: "I will show him"
Frank Marshall the day of: "ugh..."
Wow Marshall’s attack was relentless, most mortal men would have fallen. Capablanca is one of the greatest for a reason!
the greatest: the rest since have grunted and sweated and learned and studied and memorised and prepared, but he was a supreme genius.
@@mizofan Really, really thank you. He get this gift from God. I think that he is Morphy reencarnated for those believe.
@@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.
"But if you play this, you will see your entire world crumble before your eyes as white plays Queen captures on f7."
I died. XD
Infinity Salinity 💀
rest in peace buddy
rewatching to set the mood for the new video in the capa's saga in new york 1918
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
I thought Marshall would won
You can feel reassured by the fact that the 8 year wait is probably just legend ;)
Harshvardhan Tandon yeah,actually
He had been preparing his whole life to play that.
He failed to see that escape route for the king for eight years?
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.
It's just amazing by itself to have a good chess opening named after you
@@tubax926 Indeed. I also recall reading somewhere that the great Gary Kasparov always refused to let his opponents play the Marshall Attack.
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.
No, no. He was fair way better than a computer.
This is why I love Capablanca so much.
nice
until he met Sultan Khan who defeated Capablanca with only 1 year of training in chess
@@imagenigraphics Capablanca was in his 40s when they played.
@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.
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.
Who's Casablanca?
@@lollycopter The 1942 Drama, of course.
@@lollycopter the white house
@Tom Ross TV No one ever sad Casablanca was marshal.
Should have charged him? This is highly disrespectful.
"If you try something like king to d4... then... your king is on d4" hahaha
that gave me a chuckle as well.
ua-cam.com/video/AOI2Hn8pUWk/v-deo.html
not a problem for ivanchuk lol
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.
Exactly most modern super GM's study and memorize every line ..🙄😴
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.
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
ImaginaryHuman072889 Marshall should have won he lost when he played bishop h2 instead of queen h1 hi missed the checkmate
It isn't checkmate Q-h1 + leaves the knight undefended.
Alekhine would have beat MArshall too
@@zlowry01 Qh1 is not mate because white Queen is already gaurding h1
@@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.
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
The fact that Capablanca could find the best one moves just over the board is amazing.
I’m a simple man. I see Capablanca - I click like.
Yeah bud , I think I found my chess hero in him.
Pure Brilliance by Capablanca! What a Mind!!!
Dac Tucker Capablanca is famous for saying that someone who plays complicated chess does not understand the Game so there is some wit in the comment of Jarvis Morris.
@Dac Tucker You misunderstood him.
+Flugschüler Fluglehrer goes to show that Capablanca and Tal would really not get along with each other as they have different beliefs about the game. Here's Capa saying that if you complicate chess, you dont really understand chess. and here's Tal saying
I wish I knew how long did it take for Capablanca to calculate each moviment and to see Marshall's face while that was happening
19 minutes.
This game made me a fan of the great Cuban. The reason why I voted for Capablanca saga ✌
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!
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.
Haha, Marshall waited 8 years to get dusted by Capa. Capa played an immaculate game. This is genius at work. (Both Capa, *and* Antonio)
For me Capa was the most naturally gifted of all chess players with a quick sight of the board and wonderful technique especially in the endgame.
The move at 18:41 is what confirms to me that this is the finest ever performance by agadmator's dog. Pure genius.
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
Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the videos
I think it was good advice not to memorise but learn for yourself and gain a good overall grasp, including end games
Capablanca is a genius one wrong move nd would be over but he calculated everything almost inch perfect what a player .Well played sir great defense..
You can say that about Marshall. Capa was boring.
One of my favorite chess games of all times. Every move played by both are killer move. I am glad that marshall tested his attack with capablanca
This should be very complex but your logical progression makes it so easy to digest even for beginners. You have a real knack, your love for the game is infectious.
the fact that Capablanca lived his life by grabbing pawns and defending the ensuing attacks probably was the best preparation for such a game. Marshall might have prepared this attack for 8 years but Capablanca was getting ready for it his entire life.
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 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
The resilience from Capablanca is admirable. Looked like a lost position to threatening a forced mate no matter what move is made
What an extraordinary game. Have to respect Capablanca for digging deep for those moves.
More Capablanca games please, the games with an endgame
One yr on and the entite saga is over :)
Capa is the father of modern chess and inspiration for Fischer ,Karpov etc etc
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
“That’s where the real fun lies”... passing statement is so profound.
Props to Capablanca for finding all these excellent moves over the board.
Watching this now as Agadmator wanted to increase my vast knowledge via the top link in today’s video
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.
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!
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!
A sitting chess machine
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
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.
Caballero Maestro Capablanca. Impresionante su calidad contra el monstruoso ataque Marshall. Wow!!!!!!
A very great player cooks up an attack for 8 years and unleashes it. The opponent deconstructs and beats it in 8 minutes. Legend!
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
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 really enjoyed watching this game ...
Capablanca is the greatest player in The history of chess and this game is no exception to it.
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.
Watching it now to be an excellent (and chronological) subscriber as we continue this very nice Capablanca saga.
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 !
Una gran partida, un tremendo e innovador ataque, una maravillosa defensa y contraataque y un gran análisis.
Gracias, Maestro😊
This is one of my favourite of your videos. Thank you, your channel is really amazing. I watch it every day!
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
This is the single greatest chess game of all time
What a player Capablanka was! Pure genius.
Simply incredible performance from Capablanca against an attack that he never saw before! Chapeau!
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.
Best game I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Thank you.
Unreal brillance.
Marshall: - I prepered this new amazing attack for 8 years.
Capablanca: - But you forgot about this move.
Marshall: - Oh God, I want to die.
Incredible game by Capablanca ... I mean, first time playing against such a genious attack and not a single inacurracy by him. Also you missSpeaked two time, i think you said black instead of white or black instead of white :D Amazing video, keep them coming, cant wait for candidates !
You want him to edit the video? And there's no such word, missSpeaked; it's misspoke.
Thanks didnt really know how to write it ! No i dont, just pointing out what i catched :) Like i said, amazing video
kabatovec007 caught * not catched
Yea thanks
Lord Archzield I almost feel baited since he also said "black instead of white or black instead of white". I don't know if English is his or her second language or he's just baiting someone to correct everything he did/does wrong.
Rewatching this for like the third time just to be an excellent subscriber.
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.
Could this be included in the list of games competing for the title of the "Best chess game ever"? I'm just asking, I am not even close to being qualified to answer this question :)
Thanks for this video!
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
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.
This attack looks so fun to try! great answer by Capa
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.
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.
FJ Marshall : Handle my Marshall Attack...
Capablanca : Yes
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.
The greatest player of all time. Such a genius when he wanted to be. His best day is better than anyone else’s best day.
Cite your statistics please.
@@TheLincolnrailsplitt It's not necessary. But 99,7% of precision play as well over the board.
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
One of your best videos
No happy face, Medo controlling the couch, and a great match between two great chess players !!!
How in the world did Capablanca calculate so far ahead. Crazy town.
@agadmator loved this game very much, and thank you for showing so many possibilities.
you are really doing a great job.. cheers!
0:55 "The American Beauty" -- ummm what a game, I knew you'd mention it here. And glad you did.
This is my new favorite game. The most aggresive attack meets impermeable defense damn 💀💀
Capablancas entire strategy in this game was "I won't accept his sacrifices" and that ended up working
I've seen this game so many times, but you analyze it best of all.
Hatts off to Marshall too for creating such a nasty attack, Capablanca stole the show in the end but Marshall made this show entertaining to be remembered for generations.
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!
Incredible play by Capablanca...
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.
You can see both Marshall and Casablanca in a silent film called “Chess Fever” (Шахматная горячка) - it’s on UA-cam. Remarkable to see these titans on screen. And what a beautiful game!
