I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it myself. Even the great World Champion Garry Kasparov agrees. Capablanca attacks without calculating!

I was never good at calculation, so I had this kinda sad feelings about chess. But when I discovered Capablanca and all about strategy, everything has changed. A very simple way of playing that gives ridiculous results. There are some games, like this one, that he only moves the pieces to good squares. And "suddenly" a simple combination appears and he wins the game. Quite amazing. His style boost me to continue playing and studying. Thanks, Capablanca.

kasparov has a very special definition ""didn't calculate" because all i saw was the king on g6" while showing simple obvious mates in 8 and 11

If you know the Philador mate which is mate in 5 and you see now is the time to play this variation, then you didn't calculate. It is just a pattern you know works. If you are Capablanca controling the centre of the board in the Ruy Lopez attacking on the king side crushing the player like a boa constrictor then you know the pattern. Every time Frank moves you tighten where he is weakest. Capablanca may not have needed to calculate he already played so many positions. Everyone else, we might want to check our intuition if the clock allows.

I had a (blitz) game like that in Santa Cruz in 1987. I sacced both bishops and a rook for three pawns and an exposed king, all because I saw an undefended rook on a8 and queen on c7, and thought I'd probably be able to chase the king from g8 to e8, giving a knight fork from d5 when he reached e7 in time to drive the king home to e8, and then take the queen with a second consecutive royal fork before finishing by taking the turret. 🦀🍿🧈🫗🫧🌊💥🙃🕳️😸!

I've always been partial toward keeping caclulations from muddying up a game. So nice seeing my approach vindicated.

I thank you for sharing this game also. I read about Capablanca two months ago and learned that Marshall helped Capablanca shine in a way reminiscent of how Spassky let Fischer shine. Your reviewing such a game makes me feel more in touch with the masters who helped bring the game to its current healthy state. Thank you!

@ismailabdelirada9073 5 ай бұрын

Some of what I consider my best games were blitz battles, their details now all but entirely forgotten, where the decisive attack was not only too complex to calculate at speed, but at all. But intuition and inspiration told me to play them, and I won both the games and an excited audience of onlookers.

Beautifull game crystal clear review thank you very much

@andredevilleneuve9071 3 ай бұрын

Beatiful game. The concepts are so clear that even I can understand and follow them, even learning from them. I have no rating and I have not played a live opponent in 40 years. I probable will not do well in my first rapid games when I feel I can play without blundering all over the place. Speed has alway been poorly by me and Rapid 10 min is about as fast as I might be able to play a decent game. This demonstration of simple strategic move without calculation will assist me in that.

That's how I learned to play years ago in the early 1990s... picked it up from the old standard "Logical Chess: Move by Move" by Chernev. Most people today scoff at that type of play but it often works anyway. Thanks for the video mate.

I had just gone over this game in Kasparov's MGP book. He said of the game at move 19.Q-e3 -"Up to a certain time such moves sufficed for Capa. With Marshall he did not need to calculate. With Lasker(1921) he could afford to miscue slightly, but with Alekhine(1927) when extreme accuracy was required, he no longer had the strength for complicated calculations: his laziness had become a habit of many years standing." Both Fischer and Kasparov knew the Spanish game inside out to score many valuable wins when needed after learning from Capa how to do so. Good show.

@sethreinders9296 4 ай бұрын

He played brilliantly simple good chess. When I first started chess. I was taught pretty much the same thing. Defend your pieces. Make sure all your pieces are defended. And move all your pieces out of back row and castle. Simple but textbook and it will set you up without calculations. Mix that in with aggressive pawn moves. If you watch top players they use there pawns more then lower level players , anyway thanks !

Instead of moving the white bishop to A4, why didn’t Capa take the pawnn on D4?

@jeffreyknapp945 7 ай бұрын

Hmm...Lichess agrees with Marshall at 4:08, where you say it's a tactical oversight and Capa said ...Ng5 was better, but Lichess says Marshall was correct with ...Bg5. Food for thought. Even Kasparov ganged up on him. Come to think of it, far be it from me to advise the great Capa, but why didn't he just take that bishop at e7 rather than ...h3xg4? Hmm....Haha I guess overreliance on Lichess maybe.

@johnnyzee383 5 ай бұрын

I think that this was part and parcel of why Capa lost the match with Alekhine, as when you go through the games, especially with the aid of an engine you can see where he did not calculate alot of the variations in alot of the games instead playing what appeared to be strong moves but not seeing the tactical refutations.

Kasparov don't like Capa. He called him lazy and in his book is very harsh on him. He diminished the giant dimension of Capablanca and praise mora the play of Alekhine. What he does not understand is that Capa had another view of chess and his intuition and sense of positional play was such that he most of the time didn't have to calculate at all. And that is Greatness. Kasparov needs to calculate all and was never the fierce defensive or positional player Capa was.

Capablanca cheated at the end. He should have taken the rook after the king stepped aside, instead of making a move that was no better, demanded some calculation and ended up with a showy but pointless pin of the Queen and rook with the bishop on f8.

@jmadratz 6 ай бұрын

Using your arguments, you can say most games the player didn’t calculate, but just played the best intuitive move. Ridiculous statement by you because that would mean anyone could not calculate but just play the best intuitive move…but behind “the best intuitive move” is a shitload of prior experience with that opening.

And why should I believe that Capablanca played without calculation? Sounds like a very romanticized view on a GM. It's like saying a math teacher solves all his puzzles based on his intuition because he's a genius. Uhh, no it's based on logic.

I think he means there are people attacking his statement that Capablanca is just playing on intuition, and no calculation involved. Which is complete nonsense of course. So he should just defend his statement or attack the offenders with a brutal checkmate😂
