  • Capa is my chess idol.

    He will always be the natural idol.

    Btw the final score is 9-7. Capa is infinitely superior to ill dirty mannered Alekhine.

  • capa is my idol. Not at chess...poh, the bugger couldnt teach a beginner chess, but at WOMANIZING. my lifes goal is to fuck more women than him. his record stands at 156; at 19 years of age, mine stand at 12. only 140 to go before i win the title! ;)

  • Jose Raul Capablanca , the greatest chess maestro of all time.!!

  • che grande giocatore Capablanca davvero

  • lol 0:33 -0:37

  • awesome video

  • Capablanca !

  • incredible. never seen capa before.

  • Capa is great, unfortunately he did undestimate the potential of AA in Buenos Aires; probably because recent victory in NY....very big mistake.

  • @schusterlehrling

    Capablanca beat Alekhine, life score +9 -7 =33

  • @dafeac WRONG.//+9/-9/=33

  • @ MrRaymond503, You know of Two living relatives? may i have thier names?maybe my grandpa knows them. and yes we also live here in Miami

  • lol Capablanca is second cousin of my grandfather :]

  • Mr. Arrancarippo, I know of two living relatives of Capablanca here in Miami. I would be interested in learning more about your Grandfather.

  • Capablanca was good, but Alekhine is the best. He only held the title until his death. In the match from the 1927th half of the victory was achieved with black figures, while Capablanca was not any. That says enough.

  • @borjannemanja

    No.

    He did not held in until his death,a s he lost it in 1935 and won it back and the had no match for the last 9 years of his life, but he did not held it the whole time until his death.

    Also I think WW II helped him a lot.

    He would have had probelms agiainst Flohr, Botwinnik, Fine, Keres or Resehvsky.

  • Mr Borjan, Alekhine was not so great as Capa. He once urinated on the table, picked weak opponents& avoided Capa. Capa was great from the start. In the end Capa won more from Alekhine. Capa lost only 36x, & beat Euwe in Match to prove he was WC. Alekhine lost WCM to Euwe. Alekhine never finished his DR studies. Capa was Honerary Cuban Diplomat. Alekhine was involved with Nazis and ran from Russia to France to Portugal. He died penniless & drunk. He lied about rematch & tired him with draws.

  • Continued: Alekhine bored and Tired Capa in thier match, and that is one reason why Fischer later suggested 1/3 point for draws, then it would take three draws to make 1 point. The KK match was also stopped after many draws, but not the Capa vs Alekhine Match as there was no FIDE, Lucky for Alekhine. Below, Capa did very well against Flohr, Botwinnik, Fine & Keres despite them being younger. He later was very ill esp in AVRO & finally died from it in NYC 1942. It is a shame he ran also from Capa

  • Comment removed

  • ...And a great womanizer too !

  • Capa was the best ever. He played without barely studying. He did not have the assistance of computers, and he holds many records to date. Won WCC undefeated by 4, undefeated for 8 years: 1916-1924, only lost 36 games as professional!, most players lose 1 per tournament! Bobby's game of the century at 13, see Capa vs Corzo at 4 yrs of age! & he won his 1st intl tournament! played 102 simul, won 101.5!

    He has played many true immortal games of Chess!

  • @MrRaymond503

    That is a myth,

    In fact in 1936 in the Beliner Tageblatt he wrote that he learnt and memorized each book about chess and especially used to study the Bilguer and chess magazines.

    He onyl admitted that after NY 1927 he did no special preparation for the WC match, and that Alekhine profited from his limited repertoire due to that "big omission".

    He said he trins for 4-5 hours a day since he was 12.

  • Mr. Schusterlehrling, I know many things about Capa, and I have read many books, articles, etc about him. However, I have never ever heard anybody ever write about Capa studying with the exception of only endgames when he was given a book early in life. On the contrary they always write that he did not study. As a collector, I would be very interested in obtaining these articles you refer to, where might I obtain them?

  • Dear SzachowyZapiecek, I have many of Capablanca's memorbilia, as he is my favorite player. I have the other of the two movies I now know exist of him "Chess Fever" and your video. My site is MrRaymond503. Would you kindly respond to me, i would like to make contact with you. I also have many rare books by him, and about him, stamps and pictures.

    Many true and devout Capa fans certainly appreciate what you have done.

    Thank you.

  • Bobby Fischer said in an interview on Yugoslav TV (Around 1970) :

    "Capablanca was a fantastic player".

  • any one know where this simul was filmed,? of course Capa gave hundreds of simuls.

  • If anyone does know where this simul was filmed, please let me know also!!

    It wasn't in cleveland armory, because there were 102 opponents in that one.

  • @ChessChat I was wondering this myself.

  • nice

  • El talento mas desaprovechado de la historia dx.

  • Lo mas grande que tiene Cuba, despues de Marti, por supuesto. Aunque yo con la intensa fascinacion que tengo por el ajedrez, me hallo a veces preguntandome si el tablero de Capa fue mas grande que la pluma de Marti.

  • este tipo fue genial

  • capablanca el mejor de todos los tiempos
