Capablanca played a beautiful combination, which was also a blunder.

And in this game, you'll get to know his three main rules for the middle game.

Capablanca's playing white here, and initially we have standard opening development.

Black protects the pawn, and here Capablanca played knight to c3.

Sure, he could have captured here on a5 or pushed the pawn forward.

These were also good alternatives, but I don't know,

maybe I got a little bit too much into his head with this to take as a mistake thing, right?

So he played knight to c3.

I'm just just kidding, Kabablanca of course,

lived many years ago, but the rule to take is a mistake still is legit and it does make sense,

so let me show you what I mean.

Because you see that both players refuse to take here, even though they both could.

What is the reason?

The reason is, when you take without a significant reason,

oftentimes you only help your opponent to advance his piece forward and you get nothing for yourself.

Such as in this case, when black finally captured on d4, notice what happens.

Black got nothing, it's just a trade, while why it advances his knight.

So that's what the rule states.

You take when it gives you a certain advantage, but otherwise if it gives you nothing and only helps your opponent,

then he has to take as a mistake.

Now black captures here on d4, and now you see that Capablanca throughout all these moves refuses basically to take himself, such as here.

He could have captured right here, but he knows that he has to take as a mistake that would only help black to develop his queen,

and therefore Capablanca maintains the pressure right here, just trades on d4.

Now black takes on b5, Nairi captures and black castles.

The position is more or less equal, of course, and now we have the first interesting idea and advice from Cavablanca.

He says that

White's first move advantage is the initiative, right?

So the idea that

White starts the game also means that you can start your attack sooner than your opponent and seize the initiative,

and he says that you should absolutely do that, and he goes

Queen to c3.

It's a small threat, of course, this pawn can easily be protected,

but nevertheless now white becomes the one who's putting pressure and black is the one who has to respond and defend.

Now knight to d4 from here Kamalanka aims to bring his knight to another active square

and just playing pawn to g6 would weaken the king.

Black also does not want to do that so black played knight to d7 instead.

Also a pretty nice maneuver by black trying to bring the bishop forward

and the knight could probably jump forward onto e5 in the future but nevertheless last, knight to f5, Caballon keeps creating those small threats,

but simultaneously also advancing his knight forward to a good square,

threatening checkmate, like goes bishop f6 to protect his pawn and to counter the white queen, queen to g3, swinging the queen to the king's side,

where potentially it can help in the long -term attack.

But right now, the biggest problem by black is this handing pawn on d6.

Again, Caballon maintains this initiative by creating small threats all along the way.

Knight to e5 by black, bringing the knight to a good square, and protecting the pawn with a queen, therefore I cannot take it.

Now, this is another very interesting moment and another advice that Capablanca gives us.

He says that in the middle game, the main thing is the coordination of pieces.

In other words, you need to bring all of your pieces towards this central area or as close as you can, right?

And for many players, it would be really tempting to play the move of bishop h6, which Capablanca did not play,

trying to checkmate black right away.

So I go here, then I take, you know, and force the checkmate.

But of course your opponent will also do something.

And the problem with that is, if you don't have all your pieces into play,

usually your opponent will be able to refute your attack and you will just waste time.

So here after knight to g6, black would shut down this file, the bishop would have to retreat somewhere back, and the attack fails.

So instead of that, Capablanca chooses this other approach.

He says that you need to make your pieces work as a connected unit, where they stand close to each other and support each other.

And he goes bishop of four, you know, bringing his pieces closer towards this central area and also kind of putting pressure onto his opponent,

even though right now there are no threats in the moment.

Queen to c someone by black.

And how would he play here as white?

Which brings us to the second rule, which think is also one of the most important rules of all.

It is do not leave Ronaldo on the bench.

He may get upset and even walk away, right?

Cristiano Ronaldo did not deserve that.

He is leaving national team camp in Portugal.

The idea is while playing chess we get focused on our opponent's king and we try to put together a checkmate.

We're focused on that area and because of

that on beginner to intermediate level

so many players totally forget about this one dude on a1

and it's a really powerful piece it's your tower it's a rook right you should never forget about it

and you should always bring it into play and

because of this recent incident with ronaldo i don't know

if we should call it the ronaldo rule for real

but i love it because it's memorable

and again one of the most common mistake of years all right not bringing this rook into play

so always do that and Kavalanka goes rook to d1.

Now the rook is also active, and together with the knight, it puts pressure into this pawn on d6,

and it also kind of forces black to follow the Ronaldo rule as well, and to activate the rook.

Now, what do you do then?

So the first phase of the plan was to bring all your pieces into play, and to also bring them closer towards the central area,

so that they either stand there, or somewhere close, or at least put pressure in that direction.

Because also Cabablanca says that you really do need to control the center before you can hope

that your king side attack will work out.

And that's one of the really classical rules of chess strategy.

All right, still what do you do then?

Now here's a really nice description of Capablanca played by one of his common opponents, Torta Kovar.

He said, Capablanca often aimed for a simple solid position and then struck with a small tactical combination.

And I think it's a really nice description because phase one you just activate all your pieces, you bring them towards the center.

And step two, this is where you start looking for those force and moves, checks, captures, and threats.

You might have heard the rule, but in itself it's not very insightful because you can't just be forcing yourself to check all the forces,

those checks, captures, threats at every turn of the game.

That'll be just time consuming and usually useless, right?

But once your position is active, then it makes sense.

So after that, you focus your attention and pulse half the board, and you start asking yourself, can I go here, can I go here,

can I take here, can I take here, and you start checking all these opportunities, and you try to hope for something that works,

and Kavalanca played rook takes d6, which deserves, you know, an exclamation mark and a question mark at the same time,

because yes, he found a really nice combination, but it's also a blunder, so his idea was that if black captures,

which he did, then white falls with bishop takes e5, and that, yes, puts a lot of pressure onto black, attacks the rook, attacks the bishop,

and also it pins the rook down to the queen, and if Blake takes, which did not happen in the game,

100

but it's just the main line of the combo, queen recaptures, and now that's another double attack.

101

You're a threatening checkmate, queen takes g7, you're also threatening rook, and black is defenseless.

102

What's also annoying for black is that the queen is also pinned down to the queen.

103

Like, black cannot just play something like this to protect his king, because that would hand the queen on c7, meaning that in this position,

104

black would probably have to give up the rook and of course lose the game.

105

So this is what Capablanca was hoping for.

106

Unfortunately for him, there was a decisive fatal flaw into his combination.

107

I mean, try to find it yourself, by the way.

108

Probably Sun Tzu said something like, never trust your opponent, and this is a good moment for that, right?

109

Black probably got a little too much respect for Capablanca

110

and thought that his combo was winning and did not look really strong for counter opportunities, but that opportunity existed.

111

The move that Capablanca blundered is queen to a5, which is a cool double attack to white's double attack, right?

112

As, yeah, easy to miss that, but the idea is it attacks this rook on e1, not just the rook that would come with a checkmate,

113

and if the rook moves, you know, somewhere, then you just lose this bishop on e5, and, you know, you just lose material,

114

and it's time to resign.

115

Now, luckily for Capablanca, He didn't have to resign because in this case, there was a lucky save bishop to c3,

116

so that at least you save that bishop and you don't lose it, while simultaneously blocking this diagonal and not losing your rook.

117

So it kind of avoids losing these pieces or at least one of them.

118

Now after the trade, the position becomes balanced.

119

You recapture and yeah, even though you threaten checkmate, but it's black to play.

120

And so black has to counter that one, but he's got rook to g6 now looks like black is winning

121

because he won the exchange and white's pawn structure is weak

122

but there is knight to e7 check all right so

123

that would be the thing and after king to h8 white trades black captures

124

and once the dust settles we can see

125

that the position is approximately equal white is up a pawn

126

but all these ones are hanging and weak and it's about equal

127

so kamalanka had a lucky way to save the day

128

but with all the honesty i think that he just missed the move queen to a5,

129

which very easily could have been an absolutely winning move by black,

130

and it was just a lucky thing for white that he could have escaped after that.

131

In the actual game though, black found another move which is also very interesting, it's the move rook to d1,

132

and the idea here is that white cannot take the queen because of rook takes e1 checkmate.

133

That is clearly bad for white.

134

Now certainly white can, and he did, capture the rook on d1, but now black recaptures on e5

135

and now black is only down one pawn therefore he kind of got away from

136

that really dangerous position where it seemed like he's just losing the game

137

and now he's attacking the queen so therefore he thought

138

that the game would go on but good for Cabablanca

139

that he also escaped that blunder that counter attack

140

that his opponent missed but as Cabablanca himself said the good player is always lucky

141

Here we go.

142

And the idea is, yeah, he had a very strong position, right?

143

Very nice harmony of his pieces.

144

And so it makes sense, yeah, that in many of these lines, the combinations would work in his favor.

145

Now, how would you play here?

146

Now, a lot of players probably notice, OK, the queen is hanging, let me just move it.

147

But we know that once your position is already strong, meaning your pieces are already active.

148

This is the time when you start looking for checks, captures and threats onto his opponent's side of the board.

149

And he played nine to h6 instead.

150

Nice counter.

151

Now the knight can not be taken because the king starts to blush and it's an illegal move.

152

Instead the king moves to the corner and now what do you do?

153

This queen is Henny.

154

The knight is Henny.

155

What do you do?

156

You sacrifice your queen.

157

Queen takes e5.

158

Another forces move by the way, a capture in this case.

159

So you see that you know it is possible to find attacking moves in your own games

160

if you follow this way of thinking.

161

But it's still not easy.

162

What if black captures?

163

Do you see the continuation?

164

Yeah, it's absolutely stunning knight takes f7.

165

White sacrifices almost his final piece to deliver this fork and black cannot just move the king away or else,

166

you know, that will lose the queen and black would be down material losing the game.

167

But if the knight is accepted,

168

rook takes, then we've got this come move rook to d8 and black loses the game due to this back rank checkmate.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
