In the early spring of 1911, fifteen chess masters were invited to the seaside town of San Sebastian, Spain to compete in a round robin tournament. (1) Each player was invited based on a previous result. Every participant had won either first or second place in a chess master tournament, or two or more fourth place prizes. The turnout was a veritable who's who of chess mastery: Established masters such as Tarrasch, Frank James Marshall, Carl Schlechter, Geza Maroczy, David Janowski, and Amos Burn, and newer stars like Akiba Rubinstein, Aron Nimzowitsch, and Rudolph Spielmann were all in attendance. The tournament also marked the European debut of Jose Raul Capablanca, who had garnered fame for defeating Marshall in a match. The only noticeable absence was the world champion, Emanuel Lasker. As a result of this method of invitation, this tournament is often considered to be one of the strongest held in chess history. Games were played in the Gran Casino from February 20th to March 17th. The time control for the tournament stipulated that fifteen moves must be played each hour. Initially, Ossip Bernstein had objected to Jacques Mieses, the tournament organizer, about Capablanca's inclusion in the tournament based on one match victory. Capablanca proved himself first by defeating Bernstein in the first round, silencing his protests for the rest of the tournament. He then went on admirably to win clear first in the tournament, taking home the 5000 Franc prize, as well as winning the brilliancy prize. Rubinstein and Dr. Milan Vidmar shared second place behind Capablanca, while Marshall took clear fourth. The tournament was a landmark both in its strength and in heralding the arrival of Capablanca, a superb tournament player with a long career of victories ahead as well as becoming future world champion.

I am so happy to have discovered your "saga" series, as they allow you the outlet for this great love of yours -- the STORIES behind this great game! Don't be discouraged by those who want you to just get to the moves. They can simply advance the bar to where the pieces start to move and skip your discourses with a bit of trouble to themselves. Meanwhile those of us who, like you, delight in the purely human aspects of the game, will continue to delight in your telling of tales. Thanks!

@bezzlebedeviled4756 5 жыл бұрын

11:35 -- Interesting endgame. According to the engine, this is the pivotal moment, as all moves other than Kf1 are -12 by depth 30 (I assume that black can always forcibly win from a -12 position), while Kf1 remains at -3.9 (the value of a bishop and pawn, indicating a draw, probably eventually via three-fold repetition). Addendum: At 35 depth, Kf1 improves to -2.98 (so just a bishop) while everything else is -16 and worse with the white pawn eliminated and a new black queen present. (Strange that it hasn't found a forced mate yet.)

I'd be really interested to see how Capablanca would fare against someone like Carlsen today, to see how the players of then played compared to the way they do now - especially once Capablanca learned opening theory, he could have potentially been a real threat today.

@user-uj2cq6rd8n 5 жыл бұрын

Capablanca would probably beat Carlsen if he was alive today and is in his prime. I mean he is really gifted and genius. He was often lazy when he plays. He didn't have to try very hard in studying chess. As he is exceptional, like Morphy. Carlsen on the other hand, as far as i've seen, he wasn't really considered an exact genius. He was however considered a prodigy in chess. And that he was gifted in chess. And through his hard work and determination, managed to become the most dominant player today. Well it's hard to say who would win between the two. But i would bet on Capablanca. Because, well. Being able to play with extreme precision at the time where engines still did not exist is pretty impressive. Not all players can do that.

@pathutchison9866 5 жыл бұрын
