  • I could believe Alexander sandbagging in the three draws played after 1920. Earlier, no.

  • What can any one say about kingkrusher. He is absolutly the very best!! he makes Chess fun and enjoyable. 

  • Great video, KC!

  • Also you ask if Alekhine had a fifteen year plan to lay low. I say no! Alekhine was still learning, just like Nimzovich... he could get away with tactical messes, against "normal" players...but when he played against Capa or Lasker, tactics had to be ABSOLUTELY justified by the position...or else Capa could see through them. Also, Alekhine was probably preparing for the match for years...by studying Capa's games. Finding weak spots. Just like Kramnik prepared for Kaspy.

  • This video is fabulous. I've gone over these games myself, stayed perplexed. Somehow when you move these pieces around and comment, i'm more free to simply look at them? Not to mention your wonderful commentary. I think that Capablanca had a profound far-reaching tactical eye...but he didn't engage in tactics unless he saw through to the end. And some of these games show an enourmous amount of tactics...which means Capa saw all before committing himself.

  • Capablanca was not champion in 1913, in fact not until 1921 is he "world champ". So no reasonable plot by Alekhine seems likely in those early matches.

  • 41:23 everything depends on the specific position. a LOT of the time when material is just sitting there it can taken with little to no drawbacks assuming accurate play in the moves to come from the person who is now ahead in material. in this situation, white was definitely wrong to take the pawns because black has a very strong attack going. he completely ignored the VERY obvious triple battery. i consider myself very materialistic, and even i would have left those pawns alone.
