Alexander Alekhine vs Emanuel Lasker: Zurich 1934

[@azy63]

It's like driving. You can do everything right, and still get involved in a collision.

[@naimas8120]

Exactly. It only takes one stupid man to kill a law-abiding driver

[@fporretto]

"What did I do wrong?" Well, sitting down across from Alekhine might not have been _too_ wise. But seriously, the magic in that game was how Alekhine pursued tiny improvements in his position, one after another, until he'd achieved an attacking formation that Lasker, several of whose pieces were too far away from the theater of battle to participate, could not restrain. Mato, if it's not too much to ask, would you please consider presenting Reti / Alekhine, Baden-Baden, 1925? It's a favorite of mine.

[@MatoJelic]

Maybe

[@MarkM2023]

Definitely, maybe...

[@mohamedbahgat7257]

A game was presented by mr mato it was amazing draw game between two giants . I agree to see more of them

[@noegojimmy]

@Oissev Onos Stats don't lie, but Alekhine proved himself to be more progressive and modern player then Lasker later on.

[@Vlad-wl3fw]

I saw the last move! I'm so proud of myself! Lol. Great video btw. Keep them coming! Best of luck!

[@giriiyer3968]

Lovely game by Alekhine. Of course what was lasker's queen doing along the bfile? Of course queen*pawn at g6. i saw it immediately. In fact I was waiting for it the moment Alekhine moved his pawn and Lasker shifted his knight. I knew it was game over. Great tactical display by Alekhine. Thk you,dear mato sir for another Alekhine gem from the archives. By the way notice your old games, especially like Morphy,pilsbury,capa, Alekhine,etc get way way more views and comments than your new games. That says something about peoples tastes,likes and dislikes,their proclivities when it comes to chess. Just saying, I hope you don't mind,and get my point. Of course it's just my opinion,thks.

[@naveediqbal9450]

Beautifully Checkmated !!

[@AlecLudlow1]

I'm pleased to say that I found this queen sacrifice that leads to checkmate. No way I'd have even looked for it until Mato said "Please pause and find the best move for white". Unprompted I bet I would just have retreated my queen.

[@דודרנדלמן]

Thank you for such wonderful interesting and fun videos

[@jeffjones6951]

Mato, that was a powerful and poignant comment you added at 5:21 "The legend says... ...'What did I do wrong??'"

[@LJLMETAL]

Great game between two Chess Legends

[@BurbenogExpert]

Pure beauty. Svaka cast Mato!

[@robertpesevski1641]

Two legends, one winning, two The great and one conquest, this time - conquest for Alekhine! Thanks a lot Mato!

[@CARLOSSAA-y6f]

Oh! Señor Mato....Excellent lesson! I did not see the move, but now I know.

[@Krekhaus]

Nothing like.. the Old Masters

[@samiraljubory6223]

Thank you mato 🌹 Alekhine vs Capablanca please 🙏

[@HollyMartins]

This was Brilliant !

[@balazsio]

Alexander simply outplayed him. One doesn't have to make mistakes to lose, if you don't gain advantage you can't win

[@mmowoa]

Yes! More Alekhine!

[@reaganabroad4952]

Great game. I think it's worth noting that Lasker was pretty old at this point, and he lacked the stamina to perform at a high level for long tournaments. However, that doesn't give Alekhine enough credit.

[@ddavid29]

what do you think of this game? WOW that was beautiful from alekhine

[@paul_ralte]

Black Queen must be crying from a distance to see her King being defeated.

Thnx Mato

Danke, danke

[@gabrielesimionato1210]

Didn't see it coming

[@randyb3347]

Mato, I think of all the old grandmasters Bobby Fischers style was most closely aligned with Alekhine. What do you think?

[@MatoJelic]

Maybe

[@SharpShoot3r_14]

After lasker played f6, Alekhine's light squared bishop became monster on the long diagonal. So after castling kicking opponents queen with pawns isn't a good idea. He should've played something like Nc5 instead and try to deal with strong bishop.

Awesome 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳👌

[@xkandarx]

I miss the kaboom

[@barsdogan5647]

That one dislike is from Lasker

[@giriiyer3968]

@Oissev Onos I don't know how true but I believe someone once said that Lasker may lose a game but he rarely ever loses his head.

[@ericthomasedavidgoggins6469]

Jogaço!

[@simonlepine7765]

I think wow !

[@ralphkramden2826]

I guessed all the key moves right in this one. Problem is I'm not good enough to get in the proper position to make those key moves!

[@amrmoawad8847]

No one can do that .....carlsen him self cannot do that

[@ralphkramden2826]

@@amrmoawad8847 Guessing the key moves in a Mato video? It happens, not impossible at all, even for a less than mediocre player like me. We're only talking about a few moves which often involve sacrifices/tactics.

[@HollyMartins]

hehe........then you would be playing against the best

[@standardking5077]

Mato, please tell me what is that word I hear sometimes? it sounds like swishensook? I can't find it in google

[@MatoJelic]

Zwischenzug is a German word that means "in-between move."

[@law-abiding-criminal]

Mato, where is zurich?

[@parthabandyopadhyay3912]

Good question! I am missing this part for long time :)

[@tejassoni1687]

QGD

[@englishguy9680]

Statistically white has the advantage and so he need not have make a mistake to lose to a player Alekhines calibre

[@amrmoawad8847]

All of player ( except CAPABLNCA) must ask ALEKHINE forgive !!!!!

[@Mike_Wilson_KJV]

First

[@MatoJelic]

Well done
