Alekhine vs Bogoljubov - Rastatt 1914

[@mundayilkumar622]

Watching different videos. But Mato is the best. No unnecessary bla bla..just killer move and opponent resigned. What a game...like that ..

[@0HonzaDvorak0]

Hello Mato, i watch every video of yours. Thank you. You are very entertaining and i learned a lot

[@sworupadhikari7319]

This Mato guy is awesome! No bullshit like some other chess youtubers!

[@dergrammatik-nazi8999]

The best moments in my life are when i look on my phone and get an email saying mato uploaded a new video

[@GrimRaper8]

that knight pin was sick

[@theducksneezes4987]

and it was blindfolded too

[@michaele.2583]

Phantastic game indeed - it defys beleave considering the circumstances!

[@williambunter3311]

thanks again Mato

At 3:35 I was wondering "why can't the rook take the bishop?". Then, after thinking about it for a few seconds, I realized that it could not do that because the king was in mortal danger because if rook takes bishop then black queen takes the rook, white queen takes the queen and then black rook takes the queen which is mate.

[@izzya8132]

+IsItHardToBeStupid? even if it wasn't check mate, it's giving queen+rook for queen+bishop, very bad trade.

[@11Kralle]

"This is not a blunder" - I like these Mato-sentences

[@Andyson986]

I thought AA would play bishop to e7 at 03:19.

[@alexanderausome9136]

very interesting game

[@Ricehigh85]

As a critical move I found 17. Be7. Why doesn't that work? If Qxe7, Qxe7, Rxe7, Rf8 mate, and if Rxe7, Qf7+ into mate. Similar if he moves the queen from the back rank. I assume this doesn't work since mato didnt mention it, I just don't see why. He can avoid mate in a few ways, yes, but in the ones I see he loses his queen.

[@brendanward2991]

I too found that move. Maybe... Be6 works as a defence?

[@wajdyalnaserallah334]

+Brendan Ward you 're right

[@silverseer5104]

+Ricehigh85 if Be7 then dxc3+ and black can push the pawn after white king is forced to H1 because black can play his light square bishop to e6 attacking white's queen; if white plays Be7 at 3:20 he will lose all momentum and position will favor black very quickly

[@BloonMonkeyStudios]

Hi Mato, at 2:55, why isn't Bishop to e7 Winning? If he moves his queen or captures with the rook, White has mate. If he captures with the queen, Qxe7 and White is easily winning

[@BloonMonkeyStudios]

+xxx xxx I just saw Be6 is the counter for black, but after Pxe6 White is still up the bishop

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

I found Be7 attacking Queen instead of Bf8 - I'm almost certain this wins on the spot - Black must give up either the Queen or the King - if Rook takes Bishop, then Qf8+ - Qxf8 and Rxf8 mate. If Queen takes Bishop on e7, then Queen takes Queen and if Rook takes back on e7, then Rf8 mate. If ..Qd7, then Qf8+ - Rxf8 and then Rxf8 mate!

[@dr.rajeevtewari5765]

At move 17, instead to Bf8 isn't it better to play Be7? if Queen takes bishop then queen takes queen and black rook can't take queen because of Rf8 and check mate and if rook takes queen then Qf8.

[@justinbuckley4333]

Does Be7 also work, threatening back rank mate and attacking the queen?

[@MatoJelic]

+Justin Buckley 17.Be7 dxc3+ 18.Kh1 Be6

[@MoonBurn13]

Blindfold Chess has always mystified me.

[@alexschafer1863]

... and where is Rastatt ...? I'm from RASTATT!

[@gonzalocervantes252]

bishop to e7 seems better than bishop to f8 ?

[@toboladaoja3358]

do a serie of karkajin

[@steveschollnick1729]

be7 also works?

[@ЛеонидФедяков-ъ9я]

I have managed to find that Bf8 move! And my grandmother was born in 1914 :)

[@wajdyalnaserallah334]

Hey Mato ..What is your advice to defensive players?

[@Arisudev]

attack is the best defense

[@piyushharjani5220]

+Ida Bagus Ari Sudewa lol....I think the same

[@vitakyo982]

Instead of bishop to f8 , i found bishop to e7 , attacking black's queen . If rook takes bishop on e7 , there is check mate in two . If queen takes bishop on e7 , queen takes queen on e7 ...

[@shizyninjarocks]

So cool.

[@samiraljubory6223]

Alekhine the best of all time

[@nazihbenkhelfa5058]

when Yasser Seirawan saw your videos he resigned. ......just kidding lol

[@edi9849]

3:20 isn't Be7 better?

[@kasel55]

+Edacto Уеs! That is the move i also think is better than Bf8 and winning immediately i think

[@silverseer5104]

+kasel55 if Be7 then dxc3+ and black can push the pawn after white king is forced to H1 because black can play his light square bishop to e6 attacking white's queen; if white plays Be7 at 3:20 he will lose all momentum and position will favor black very quickly

[@edi9849]

+Silver Seer ye or he can actually play Be6 first and he's still fine, thanks for the answer

[@silverseer5104]

+Edacto yeah, but the pawn capture comes with a check so there's no reason to not play it, white can't block from that position so bu rushing Be6 black loses their pawn pushing pressure

[@1990lvlun]

+Edacto i see that too, but black can defend by be6

[@edlawrence5059]

Did you say they were in a Romanian prison camp?

[@cengiztaner4754]

Nooo I'm late again
