[@gr8banterm880]

Thanks

[@DrLawIrk]

...and who is Mato? Mato is one of the greatest chess youtubers of all time :) thanks, Mato!

[@ChrizPhenom]

Mato tnx for all Alekhine games and keep doing them they changed my life and vision for chess...before this series Tall was my favourite but this magician is completly out of this world..i will rename myself to Alekhine

[@Nyctasia]

Please consider giving us some games by Blackburne or Lasker Mato. Both had some excellent and spectacular games.

[@oscarplaysviolin]

I guess Lerner is still Learning.

[@josephinhiding3595]

Especially at the 2nd opportunity.

[@pacogomez1707]

@3.50, after R - h6 ch, what's wrong with g1 for white's King?

[@yggdrasil9039]

Sorry, for us Fide

[@mpeterll]

Did black miss a win at 2:14? eXd5 gives a very dangerous passed pawn. White cannot recapture. if Nxd5, Bxd5; Qxd5, Bxh2, winning the queen.

[@muckerwood]

Far be it for me (us) to question Alekhine about d5 to begin with, but stockfish says Qa4 is a better move than d5 in that position. Having said that, if eXd5 as proposed, I would assume Alekhine would simply continue with Rad1 just as he did in the game. No intent to recapture; passed pawn yes, but also isolated, not very dangerous.

[@shantanudas9864]

Mato please upload mikhail tal's chess videos. I will be very grateful to you..

[@simon_patterson]

When Mato uploaded many Tal videos, people asked him to show others' games instead.... other players such as Alekhine! But thankfully Mato's Tal videos are still there for you... 😎

[@1968joseleon]

mato.. please increase the volume of your audio.. thanks

[@yggdrasil9039]

Have you tried turning up the volume?

[@baxterbrown8088]

Nikolic vs Arcovis pls

[@steveschollnick1729]

kg1 after rook check?

[@yggdrasil9039]

You missed out another line Mato. Why doesn't King just go back to g1 after nabbing the bishop, but instead start running around in the open? If after Bxh2, KxB, Rh6+ Kg1, and if Qc6 then f3, and if Qf7 then g3, both defending against the attack. White is a Bishop up and can start exchanging off the pieces.

[@yggdrasil9039]

This is at Bxh2+ at 3:45. The line I see goes KxB Rh6+, Kg1 Qc6, f3 (or Nd5 perhaps) end of Black attack.

[@v.gopalakrishnan350]

It doesn't work for if Kg1 then Rh1+, King must capture the rook and then Qh3+ and mate next move!!!

[@AFfotography]

mato i think black bxh2 is not a winning move coz. it is lose. after white king take bishop on h2 and black rook give a check and how about if white king go back to the dark square on g1.....????

[@khalidabuwarda8585]

then ... Rh1+. Kxh1 Qh3+. Kg1 (pawn is pinned) Qgx2#

[@AFfotography]

+Khalid AbuWarda ooo yes i see now....rook sacrifice it is a winning move...thanks for your analysis..

[@azy63]

"Almost" is like "close" it only counts if you're playing horseshoes or with hand grenades.

[@fernandaseixas1420]

karpov games plz

[@atefahmed2178]

plz mato we want Karpov games

[@MickThal]

Karpov against Korchnoi games

[@vitakyo982]

I did ask too , but for some unknown reason Mato shows us only a very few games by Karpov . May be Karpov did mess with Mato's wife or something ...

[@kishatambauan8036]

🏁

[@elegomeskin]

Alekhine must have enjoyed the famed Argentine mate after the game with gusto.

[@tomimbek]

drinking mate while watching mato's games, that's my everyday breakfast

[@Teemu_TV]

I feel bad for Lerner missing all those moves.

[@Hallands.]

Perhaps he never knew he missed them.

[@v.gopalakrishnan350]

I was able to find the winning combination Lerner missed! That he was playing against the giant Alekhine must have unnerved him to lose the game he almost won!

[@quantumzz6]

Just for the record, Lerner would still have been way ahead had he played 24. ... Rxe1+.

[@LJLMETAL]

He heard the story 17 times. Funny

[@kingofyoutube7]

He heard the story 17 times. Lmao

[@edlawrence5059]

Damn! I wish Lerner had won. I find it impossible to like Alekhine.

[@Hallands.]

Why?

[@Hallands.]

I think "who was Lerner"? Alekhine played imprecisely, so can't have respected Lerner much - and with good reason - as this endgame shows...

[@LFC303606ACID]

15th

[@Jan_ne]

I saw the move

[@MandeepSingh-zb8oh]

2nd

[@tjmmz9843]

Alekhine on a bad day, still defeating an incompetent. Not a great game.
