Letsplaychess.com presents Capablanca- Alekhine Wch(21)

[Nickalispicalis]

I would really prefered the chess they played in this era in comparison today. At the club level it is still fun but at that professional level, opening theory has choked the life right out of the game. You think they are playing great chess only to find that it is all home preparation/memorization.

I always thought that Capablanca's ego is what made him unpopular with the other greats of this era. Laser and Alekhine were genuine strong contenders for the top spot of chess champions with JRC and it would have been very interesting to see how any of them would have performed against legends such as Kasparov, Karpov or Fischer. That would be like the much talked about Mike Tyson-Muhammed Ali boxing match that never happened.

@LordHeath1972 sorry, I meant *Lasker.

[Timudavant]

Hardcorekid7, Alekhine imposed to Capablanca the same conditions the latter imposed to him when he was world champion. I don't see why chess history blames Alekhine for that ! And Lasker who is praised by everybody for having ruled 27 years often made the negotiations collapse with many of his challengers and is not criticized much !

alekhine is chess

[hardcorekid7]

I prefer Capablanca all the way... I like Alekhine but in a way he was a coward for not wanting to give a rematch to Capablanca fearing he would lose his crown... Capablanca was truly a genius in chess who never made any efforts in his games and still won

canstein's videos are amazing, good explanations, i have improved greatly by watching almost all of his videos, pereetsa, if u think he should keep quiet, then u mite as well just go to a chess database and look at the games, no need to go to youtube to watch a game lol.

[righton041]

Brilliant work again, canstien2. Thank you for the time and effort that goes into making these videos.

[milk109]

Pereesta- moving the pieces all over the places actually helps a lot. the whole point of these videos is to see all the variations and why a move you'd normally consider to be strong is actually a trap or something. these videos are very instructional and interpretive, if you're confused by them then you obviously need to be a bit more experienced to understand them.

[priapus56]

You are right. This video is not for beginners and weak players.

[Pereetsa]

Every time I watch these videos, I really get confused between the real moves and the study moves. He talks too much, and moving the pieces all over the place does not help much either.

[Pereetsa]

I can't follow what he is saying, is that some kind of challenge to the viewers. I wish he would keep silent and just show the moves.
