The St Petersburg Tournament of 1914 featured the joint winners of the 1914 All Russian Championship and players who had won at least one major tournament. There were the veterans Blackburne and Gunsberg, established masters such as Tarrasch, Bernstein, Janowski, Nimzowitsch, Alekhine and Marshall as well as the World Champion Lasker and his two most prominent rivals, Rubinstein and Capablanca.
The tournament was divided into two sections. The first stage from the 21st April to the 6th of May was an all-play-all event with the first five finishers proceeding into the second stage which ran from the 10th to the 22nd of May. This second stage was a double round all-play-all with the scores from the preliminaries being carried over to the final.
Prizes amounted to 1200, 800, 500, 300 and 200 Rubles. Each non-prizewinner received 20 Rubles for every game won and 10 Rubles for every drawn game.
A brilliancy prize was being considered for Nimzowitsch vs Tarrasch, 1914 after the 5th round's finish, but more than 2 rounds later, it was awarded a 2nd brilliancy prize as the runner-up to the Capablanca vs O Bernstein, 1914 coup.
The main source for this collection was the St. Petersburg 1914 International Chess Tournament book by Dr Siegbert Tarrasch. ISBN 0-939433-17-6.

No he didn't. There was no opening theory. Morphy came up with the moves over-the-board that eventual opening theory identifies as the best moves. You missed the point of Capablanca's comment.

Flamboyant Thug I think he meant to say that Morphy had no FORMAL knowledge of opening theory but had a NATURAL opening theory. A bit surprised that Capa rated Morphy so highly because in 8 games against Paulsen, Morphy lost 4 , drew 3 and only won ONE game.

I wanted to suggest that I think it would give some depth to capablanca and others when you do these sagas, if you could change his picture depending on where he was in life at that moment. I keep the visual of capablanca in my head during this time as a never aging middle aged man and then I find out that he was 14 during this game or that game and then it clashes with this mental image I have lol. Thanks for the videos agadmator!

There really wasn't any opening theories at the time. There wasn't much written about chess, real study of opening theory didn't start for another 40 years. He was mostly just winging it across the board with every game. That's why he's considered one of the greatest.

I cannot (and therefore DIDN'T) say with certainty that Morphy in our time would defeat Carlsen and other top players, but again he was considered the world's best player in his day and he achieved that reputation at a very young age and SANS computers and labor-saving tools and devices that would give him more time yet to study, analyze, and further improve his playing strength. Morphy was one of the cornerstones of modern chess theory upon whose fruits of labor have been bequeathed to today's players. And you still think that Morphy, snatched in time from the cradle and transported and raised in the mid to late 1990's, would be a pushover for Carlsen? I think Carlsen himself would be laughing at YOU.

Editor of the chess departments of the newspapers "Rech" and "Modern Word" (1908-1912). Participated in many St. Petersburg competitions (best result: All-Russian Amateur Tournament, 1909, 4-6th place) and side tournaments of the German Chess Union. The initiator of the match by correspondence "North-South" (1911-1912) - the first mass chess competition in history (more than 150 participants). The son of a major general, after graduating in 1903 with the gold medal of the Alexander Lyceum, served in the management of merchant shipping, then in the financial department of the State Duma's office [1]. In July 1914, he was a participant in the Chess Congress in Mannheim - interned and returned to Russia only in August 1916. In 1917 he had the rank of collegiate adviser.

The way Capablanca looks at lasker

Lasker. He is not looking at Lasker. He is looking diagonally at something out of shot to his right.

I would have been terrified after seeing that open A file and pass and fast pawn.

On the photo, nimzowitsch is not looking at the camera because he's giving Capablanca the evil eye 🤣

In Lasker v Tarrasch photo, is Lasker checking his next move on Stockfish 9 perhaps? LOL

AT 7:50 in the video I would have moved white queen on A6 to C4, it would seem to be a better attacking position for white and I don't think that Capablanca would have moved his queen to E6 at that point.

You should have been playing chess in that era. Headlines may have read " Jedi Sawyer defeats Capablanca yet again with a superb attacking display.
