Mikhail Botvinnik vs Jose Raul Capablanca - 1938

Black queen side Knight rightly described as misplaced Knight no different from inactive Knight.Thanks

Bravo Jerry for entertainment

I love this channel. But the graphics is atrocious. It would be great if Jerry updates this one.

no matter when you did the work, whether 10 years ago or 10 minutes ago, I definitely love your work Jerry!😊

Great sacrifices!

Botvinnik sacrificed two minor pieces back to back. Sometimes I hold on to my pieces too long and they get me in more trouble than not. What I learned here is to look for these moves in my own games. It’s all about spacial positioning which is what chess is all about. Thank you Jerry for bringing these great games of these great players who lived long ago. It’s like reading a fabulous old book.

But why does Capablanca take the bishop, as far as I can see, he could move his Queen to e8 and stay there

This game is as beautiful as it gets! Although in Capablanca's defense he was already old in 1938 when this game happened. Phenomenal review of this game! Cheers!

Ohhh 2013 that's why you made assumptions about the opening.

Ur a great teacher, question? after Qa4.. instead of Qf2; why not Qf5..?for white,,, threating E6.

why not Ra1 instead of Qe2

Pure history, clash of two eras of chess. I love analysis of game like this one. Thanks for sharing!

Seven years later and I still find this intensely pleasant. There's a treasure trove of good stuff from years ago on this channel, and it can be amusing hearing Jerry's younger voice.

What about Qe8 after Ba3 insted of taking the bishop?

I never knew u could capture a piece that isn't even on that tile

Well done botvinnik

Great game. Amazing. Thank you.

havent capablanca said that he can look up to 50 moves ahead...

after qa3 was qc7 followed by qf7 possible?

What if don't take en passant then sac the Knight? If take check with q. If not, check with Knight

On move 31, is there any continuation for black where he just runs from the check instead of taking the knight? Would it give enough time for the queen to come back to defend at all?

Jerry, I like your analysis style, it helps me a lot to learn and correct my play style. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Whats the name of the theme you used ?

nice win....against capalanca that is! although...your comment: SOMETIMES they want to take on c3 is a nice understatement my friend.....nimzoindian is all aout taking on c3...giving up the darksquared ishop :) hehe ...and amazing how style shifted over the decades...nowadays noody plays 3.Nc3 anymore after Nf6 & e6....everyone plays Nf3 :( to avoid the nimzo) ...was nice to see how kasparov let it happen with White several times during his comeack at the sinquefield cup...classical variation with 4.Qc2 it was....

great analysis, enjoyed this type of break down. a move by move analysis is the best thing for me to learn by.

One of the best games Ive seen.

Very illuminating commentary. Nice to have discovered this. Thanks.

I know that English-speakers tend to stress the first syllable, but he's actually BotvInnik (the 2nd syllable is stessed, I mean). No offence, just saying.

esta partida es memorable !!

hehe, great game. I got the bishop and knight sack immediately :D

First time I've ever spotted the super continuation without pausing and swearing for about 40 minutes, I felt like a god.

good game :)

How about Knight takes on f5 after 22? Queen g3 check, king goes to f7, queen to g5.
I guess Nd2, then after rook g2, Ng4

Botvinnik and Tal games are alvvays a piece of art! Thanks for sharing the video.

"Pon?"

like it

Very instrucitve explanation!

Great!!!

Fantastic combination, actually saw the both moves.. Not the escape from the perpetual tough

jerry you are number 1 game reviewer

google "en passant"

beautiful analysis....very entertaining and educational....thank you!

Really superb, concise commentary!

Never mind, duh- just yahoo'ed "en passant" and learned about two square pawns passing stationary opposing pawns. God I could have won some games had I known this! Yahoo!
