José Raúl Capablanca excelled in simple positions and endgames, and his positional judgment was outstanding, so much so that most attempts to attack him came to grief without any apparent defensive efforts on his part. But he could play great tactical chess when necessary! The Queen's Gambit is one of the oldest known openings in chess and it is still commonly played today, with Capablanca as one of the opening's greatest exponents.

Capablanca is one of the most underrated players of all time. There was a time during his career as a champion. He was considered unbeatable. I'd like the way you annotate the games. You're almost like a sports announcer, giving a play-by-play.😂👍

@kevinmalone3210 2 ай бұрын

Capablanca was a chess world champion and had a rating of over 2700. That's not an underrated player, but one of the greatest players ever to play chess..

@kevinmalone3210 What I meant by underrated? Is no one? Nowadays, seems to talk very much about him. You hear about Bobby Fischer. Magnus Carlson Gary Kassparov

Capablanca is the reason i played chess. And i love the Queens Gambit. Capablanca taught me so much by playing and studying his games. Whats so amazing, is that Capablanca just knew the best move to play in every postion. My favorite chess player. He just knew.

In the Glicco game you might have outlined the Cambridge Springs trap, as your viewers would have noticed that black’s d pawn appears to hang after 5cd ed 6Nd5 due to the pin. BUT 6…Nd5 7 Bd8 Bb4+ wins back the Q in addition to the extra piece.

These days people rarely reply with d5 against d4 though, most people go with nf6. The QGD is still common but achieved through transposition.

Why during the Stoewhass game, when Black Queen check dies White use the knight to block, then white bishop to d3 opening for castle kingside. That gets the 2nd white rook out of the corner and the black queen has to run. Am I missing something?

@claytonbenignus4688 5 ай бұрын

I notice that Capablanca's Opponents had four opportunities to play the Meran Variation moves ( after BxP on QB4, P-QN5 followed by P-QR6 and P-QB5). Capablanca did not have a single win against the Meran, though he actually beat Saemisch with Black with it. Was there a stigma against the Meran in Capa's time???
