Chessworld.net presents: Evolution of Style #59 - The rise of Capablanca - game vs Bernstein

[lostextremeable]

Hello, KC, how would I insert this pgn into some program fast, because how I do is copying it into text file, then saving it as .pgn, then opening in Arena GUI. It takes time and I can't add other games, because the file gets somehow messed up if I open it at least one. I mean any import function like text, maybe you can reccomend any good GUI for this. Thanks. I really enjoy your videos.

I think he beat hes father when he was 4 years old

[GHalfa]

capa is the best!!!!!!!!

simple moves!!!

[MrGatherfield]

we've missed these games. thank you!

[oniyama80]

I just wanted to add a comment on the part of move 19....Kh7. There was actually a bigger threat than Qg3, or Nxh6...Nxc6!, Bxc6, Ne7+, Kh7, Nxc6. Winning a pawn and the exchange. just thought I would add that sense it is a huge threat.

Great video as always, thank you for sharing them.

[writetokinshuk]

at 9:45 - the biggest threat is knight x c6!

[wretcherwretch]

@writetokinshuk

Nice move there : )

[bigj98103]

After Qxa2 (queen takes pawn), isn't Qc3 winning? (Threatens Nf4 and Ra1)

Pronunciation of Chess Player's names for non-native speakers. Another useful technique is to practice saying the name starting with the Last syllable and then work your way to the first. Like this Ponomariov: Ov , Ree-Ov , Mah - Ree - Ov , No-Mah-Ree-Ov , Po -No - Mah - Ree -Ov. Or even chEE, Shh - chEE, Nee- yaah - Shh - chEE, and Neh - Pahm - Nee- Yaah - Shh - chEE. Gives a reasonable approximate pronunciation for Nepomniachtchi. Finally remember, Nobody is perfect!

[Mathview]

Pronunciation of Chess Players names for non-native speakers. All caps means accent the syllable. Alekhine: Al-ex-SAN-der Al-ex-SAN-drov-itch all-YECK-een

Capablanca: Ho-zay - Raw-ol Kaa - paah - BLaaN-ka  More on Alekhine, Russian spelling has a letter we don't use in English, so we can't say it perfectly. So for us it's ok to say Al -ECK- een or even Al-ECK-ine.

Always been a fan of your Evolution of Chess Style series and very happy to see the next video!

[mcchang1032]

For my part, I love the introduction of Rybka moves and analysis.

o-kay so swallow

Hello Kingscrusher!

This comment is not actually about Capa- or on the theme of this game . I apologise for this- although I did enjoy the video as always!

My friend at my chess club actually opened my eyes to Tigran Petrosian who is renowned for being rather dull. My friend took me through several games where Tig played white against both Fisher and Tal and beat them both in attacking style!

What do you think about this?

[Kasparovwannabe]

@kingscrusher Just FYI its pronounced Ho-Zay Ra-Ool not that its that big of a deal just thought you would like to know

[guitarfella581]

i love your commentary you have soo much to offer and have been helping me learn chess for a while, although i hate the rybka likes this line or my endless quoesistence says this

[TheGambler666]

i learnt the smothered mate by knight playing out Capa's games - i've done it twice...if the pieces fall right it has to be played for - most satisfying mate there is

[tuoljg]

Capablanca wasnt breaking any "rules" by playing g4, isnt it the opposite, he was playing g4 (attacking the king) beacuse hes opponents queen was on the queenside and would have problems defending.

[AlanWattParrot]

it's a general rule that it's a 'weakening' move (unprincipled) but as a naturally attacking player myself (tho not a high roller) i'm in good co. not thinking twice if it does the job & at no time did the white king look potentially vulnerable b/c of it....the black Q & N were helpless bystanders trying to get a sniff but there were no entry points to throw white off-balance -Capa controlled the game from the start and throughout - arguably the greatest player of all time

great analysis as per

[Rinehart9]

@why is it bobby ficsher ,when asked who was the best ever at chess, always mentioned Adolf Anderssen first and most freqently? can you do an anderssen game?

[Immortalassassin1]

Yay, I love Capa, great vid, looking forward to more =D

[ANSIcode]

Once more it is proved: Pressing the "Like" button can not possibly express our gratitude for this excelent series.

[DeltaA118]

you should patent the phrase: "Hi all!"

[robberval]

From Wikipedia:

"A 2006 study claimed to show that Capablanca was the most accurate of all the World Champions when compared with computer analysis of World Championship match games.[93][94] However, this analysis was criticized for using a second-rank chess program, Crafty, modified to limit its calculations to six moves by each side, and for favoring players whose style matched that of the program".

Maybe they should make another study of this kind using a better engine.

[houtkop2000]

Hi KC if you do the series on styles again, could you do one on Rubinstein as he was sort of in between Lasker and capa? Many thanks

[houtkop2000]

Hi KC, thanks for this video!! Yes capa did not lose a game for 10 years I think. Just a question, did you make this video because of my previous comments on natural moves and how effortlessly capa played them? Many thanks

[kingscrusher]

@houtkop2000 He is next in line after Lasker, but you did remind me about the series and its importance for my own stylistic thoughts. Some members of the Kingscrusher cafe at Chesscube also mentioned the evolution series.

[schleichnaldo]

The evolution of styles is great, I  missed it. Please make more...

[Robinpostal2]

i missed the evolution of style!

Jacques Mieses was the organizer of San Sebastian 1911- it was he who had the good sense to overrule Ossip Bernstein's objection. In addition, Frank Marshall argued strenuously against Bernstein's objection.

[kingscrusher]

Hi all

I put some relevant links into the description of this video - one is a dynamic search which shows up the Nimzo game I mentioned along with some others.
