Hi there in this, we're going to have a look at Capablanca, Hosai, Réal Capablanca.
So this is a game he played in 1914 in the Moscow town tournament against Osip Bernstine.
So Capablanca was a reigning champion from 1921 until 1927.
He was extremely renowned for his simplicity of play, very, very elegant play.
He earned the nickname of Human Chess Machine.
There was a time he just went a long, long time without losing.
So they actually called in the human chess machine.
So here is an example, in my view, a good example of his elegance, of playing D4 and bouncing playing
the Place de five.
So nothing fancy.
See 46 nights he may have seen.
So the Queen's Gambit declined night every seven Bishop G five black castles every night BDM see one
and they'll be six.
So addressing the bishop issue, which is often a problem in these positions, seating's heating's we
see Quinn, a former bishop B seven one is keen to weaken black on the line esquires.
He says Capablanca obliges Bishop Queen and now C five.
We have bishop.
Things have six nineteens beatings, beatings.
Black has the so-called hanging --'s one thing about hanging --'s.
They can be pretty dynamic in nature.
The adjacent folds are quite interesting for black generally speaking, but also having any push at
the right time.
Perhaps they can be converted into a passport.
We see white castling here now.
Queen bee sex queen to perhaps Basser was actually to take the Queen's off and play this position.
Bonzai Queen two.
And we have CIFOR now.
This is quite a grip on the position.
The hanging pawns do kind of emphasise blacks beefalo pressure here.
And even though it seems kind of strange to give the D Four-Square up, but you know, Black also has
this dance competition, which could be dangerous.
We rook afte one.
If Ninety-four was played here, perhaps bishop before is one of the better moves.
For example, this position should be about equal.
So Rook after one was played well after the night before her bishop before be free.
We see canciones beatings, these things and you can see that Black has emerged here with a passport.
The hanging poems have been translated into a passport.
In fact, Capablanca now plays Bishopsgate Seefried Roadsigns 95.
Whites in this position, just in case you're wondering, can I actually play Rock, S.C., for Kevin
Plank has got the tactics under control behind the scenes.
Can you see what Black plays in this position if I give you five seconds?
There is actually a killer common square, which is kind of been x rayed, the rock is actually x ray
and that's in conjunction with the night.
So actually there is the move might see for kind of x ray defended by the rock that falls Queen of Rock
won't will be in big trouble here.
For example, this losing zero.
So yeah, noisey free would be a crushing blow.
And if rock takes well, it's just the exchange down there.
Not much.
So yeah, that explains that kind of reaction to play in fact rootsy to not try and take out that poem.
OK.
And now Sifry.
Brooks, see one rogue D.C., one group C5, and then might be frequency six and one should have repeated
here, but actually goes a little bit adventurous instead of putting light back on B free one place,
it might be five.
And it looks as though.
Hold on a sec.
Isn't white just winning a poem?
So Night Sifry is not winning the poem.
Well, Capablanca is a super elegant plan, so can actually see a lot of the tactical complications
behind the scenes.
So even though his play looks simple eloquence, he's also a bit of a tactical monster on the side.
And we see this hair of the 19th century rotates rotate Seifi rotate.
Sifry isn't.
It's a bit lacking in air.
Guess what Capablanca plays in this position, which is actually a game ender if I give you five seconds.
Pause.
Video blats playing.
OK, black can exploit the weakens back Rahab with Queen B to Yasuoka the game ended if Queen Yone then
queen take Sifry and then checkmating.
There's very little defense.
There's no defense essentially if Rook Setsu then Queen B one check and Queen Setsu wins the rook.
If Queen c4 then Queen takes Sifry is the strongest that I'm one.
One-Track is meeting Queen.
Anyone if rook see a little trick then queen bee one check and then take on EF1 and then take on seet
if defraying then Quincy one check and then taking on AF1, taking on differe.
So it's winning and all variations and yeah it's just a wonderfully elegant game.
Finish Elenore game opening.
Simple seemingly you know, such clarity, elegance and simplicity and a nice crystal clear finish.
Tactical finish.
What should have made for the King at some points.
So this game for me is representative of the kind of elegant play Capablanca was capable of.
And in some surveys of world champions, he was actually one of the most accurate world champions of
all time as well.
But if you factor in complexity of positions, Bobby Fischer, as she comes a little bit higher, but
Capablanca in his realm of simple positions, yeah, it was super ancora player, you know, relatively
simple positions, very, very accurate player.
OK, I enjoyed this game so much.
