Capablanca breaks the Vienna Gambit in 9* moves

Featured is an excellent chess game between Juan Corzo and Jose Raul Capablanca from 1901. Out of a Vienna Gambit where Corzo sacrifices a knight on f7, Capablanca expedites his development with an energetic d5. After Corzo's 9th move exd5, the "Chess Machine" obtains a decisive advantage and maintains it throughout this 26-move encounter.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.

Such a head-spinning game, and Capablanca still managed to play at 98% accuracy! He was, indeed, the chess machine.
Thanks, Jerry, loving this long run of daily uploads :)

The best chess youtuber :) i watch all of these right when they drop!

capa was 13 when this game was played.

[dobfeldman]

And young JR had no computer. Pure human calculation

[flippert]

I always thought "Chess Machine" was hyperbole, but now when I see "98% accuracy", I think differently.

[Ebobster]

Wonderful game with many pointed variations just beneath the surface; a good example of the incredible beauty of chess.

[jozefserf]

The young Capablanca didn't mind complex positions. Later on, he coasted as a technician.

Thanks Jerry for posting all these videos, I hope it’s translating into profit for you. For me it’s good clean entertainment, hard to find sometimes on the net.

[tamimahmad]

If I see Jerry in any tournament, Im gonna bet all my money on him

[PaulFurber]

Thanks particularly for the opening variation analysis here Jerry - really useful context.

[dization]

Fascinating how huge material advantage can amount to nothing when all your minors are undeveloped.

[SigmaValence]

Your videos consistently provide the best quality analysis in my opinion, and I've learned a lot from them and my rating has noticeably improved. I watched you frequently many years ago and am recently returning and its great to see you're still putting out high quality content. Hope you're doing well Jerry.

For the record though most people only call the Vienna Gambit the line after e4 e5, Nc3 Nf6!?, f4. Here, black cannot capture on f4 as e5 practically wins for white immediately. With the knight developed on c6 like in this game, f4 essentially transposes back to a King's Gambit line.

[michaelmassaro]

Devastating attack Casablanca had so many great games he always seems a move ahead of his opposition Great player thanks Jerry

[PeterWhite-qk]

Thank you, Jerry! to quote Yogi Berra, "The future ain't what it used to be..." I di not wake up today knowing I would no longer have to fear the Vienna Gambit or have your marvelous tutelage of a Capablanca game today. I must say, you gave your audience a terrific game to "take a few things away."

[SuedeStonn]

Capablanca was the first world champion my dad told me about when he got me into playing chess (mid-80's), the "Chess Machine"... they weren't wrong to give him that nickname! :D

[MrSupernova]

Incredible game! I was not expecting a master class on the Vienna Gambit today. Thanks Jerry!

[chrishauser]

Good Lord, he had such vision!

Thanks, Jerry.

[heyitsmikey]

I'm going to get withdrawals if you stop posting, I watch these every night now!

[joseraulcapablanca]

Great to see the tactical beast Capa. Thanks Jerry.
