Alekhine smokes Nimzowitsch's French Winawer with a gun

[@AndreaArzensek]

What a masterful game from Alekhine, he really squeezed Nimzo in this one. Thank you Jerry for sharing it with us!

[@charlesrussell6183]

I like the left panel showing alternative lines

[@centaurs87]

Excuse my French Defense

[@michaelf8221]

This was the game that allowed people to coin the term "Alekhine's gun."

[@b.j.a.m.peters]

You do not need to repeat what Gary is saying. Don't pretend it to be your knowledge, unless you are idiot.

[@ninepoints5932]

He says as much in the video itself

[@nikospitr]

Masterpiece

[@abebuckingham8198]

Nimzowitsch failed to over-defend his knight. 😏

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

An old favourite. Thanks Jerry.

[@oumarjaffar4605]

14:36 you can do a little king shuffle and then say: what do you got? NOTHING That was savage from Jerry 😂

[@irfanyamashita7184]

Thanks jerry, very instructive

[@KF1]

The sidelines make me think you should do a series regarding successful exchange sacrifices. Lots of my fav games involve giving a rook to crack the ice and going on to win. Nice commentary as always.

[@brianmarrero5147]

Tigran Petrosian was famous for this. Great positional player. One of my favorites.

[@MrSupernova111]

Beautiful game! Thanks Jerry!

[@YosefMohammad-vp7ju]

Thanks this was very educational for me 😀😅

[@mubishop69]

Well folks all zeros for Alekhine. Kramnik probably thinks he used an engine.

[@locrianphyrigian3779]

Thank you Jerry. Always appreciate your kind sign offs. Needed to hear that, today. And this is one of the most awe-inspiring, terrifying things I've ever seen in sport. Incredible.

[@liammcconville5390]

I've been digging through My Great Predecessors: Vol 1 recently so I'm very excited to watch this

[@mattterway6487]

Very clean game. Good pick today Jerry 👍

[@puspraj4687]

wow, last position was such a picturesque moment. Imagine seeing this game live and this position occurs.

[@IndigoBassNotes]

Good Stuff Jerry as usual.

[@donprater2754]

Thanks Jerry

[@2112Metal]

Keep the instructional vids coming Jerry.

[@norwis120]

i believe this game already shows Alekhine's endgame prowess. Not allowing any counterplay and putting your opponent in zugzwang in a middlegame!

[@PeterWhite-q1k]

And the irony here is Nimzo has an immortal game where he zugzwanged his opponent.

[@MrSupernova111]

Wasn't Alkehine already world champion by this point?

[@colin351]

Hi Jerry, good work buddy

[@humblesir5880]

Jerry, Im loving the edit of the potential variation. Could you review some Benoni/Benko Gambit games in the future? Cheers from Chicago

[@MaestroColucci]

AMAZING

[@danielszczypka6977]

Alechine is simply underrated WC. He should be concider as one of the strongest. My personal top 5.

[@YesPlease1]

The French defense is always getting destroyed 😭

[@ghost79ish]

Great game. I am curious, and I'll probably look at it with the computer, about NG5 before castling for white... Thoughts anybody?

[@chuckh553]

Alekhine is an underrated world champion

[@christopherjones2099]

this guys looks like Count Dracula

Hi Jerry It's concerned citizen... Why not Mr. capablanca's video ? please

12:00 On a related note, Finegold's gun is lot better is comparison because he is from Detroit!

[@timbaldwin6283]

Alekhine gun. And not a shot fired in this zugzwang position.

En croissant. Great stuff James.

[@roydavis7561]

Hey Jerry, go browns.

[@crazykhespar8487]

:D I was 100% accurate, even with thoughts of tertiary moves! Maybe Ill suck less eventually lol

[@uguree]

Yea, also, Zugswang was a great idea, also F3 knight would come to B7 wiuld be a great bother😂, I'm a strong player, but I suck in games with less than 10 mins time, to be honest I cant see moves well when time pressure is there, on the contrary some friends even they get bored of 5 mins games and play either 3 min or 1 min extreme blitz, I don't understand how.. 😂

It's AL-YEK-HIN

Nope, it's al-yekh-in

[@KF1]

Everyone says it as 4 syllables, trying to be fancy.

[@uguree]

I have seen the 12:51 pop quiz move earlier than his putting all rooks and queen on Line C. That slick move would win as he had to move the Knight somewhere else
