skill and speed of play.[1][2] Due to his achievements in the chess world,
mastery over the board and his relatively simple style of play he was
nicknamed the "Human Chess Machine".[3][4]} 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 Nf6 4.

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.

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.

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.

Nice move there : )

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

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

simple moves!!!

[MrGatherfield]

we've missed these games. thank you!

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!

[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.
