[@omriavital6309]

for your next series could you focus on an opening like you did with the traxler counter attack? I absoluteley love your videos and I feel like your commentary could help me learn a opening through the eyes of great chess players

[@ivicapavic3381]

you can clearly see by that late pawn push that alekhine calculated 7-8 moves ahead, he was a machine

Junge was born into a German Chilean family. His father Otto was a strong chess player who won the Chilean Chess Championship in 1922. In 1928 his parents and their five sons returned to Germany. On 11-20 August 1939, he, along with Wolfgang Unzicker (14 years old), Edith Keller (17), Rudolf Kunath (15) and Karl Krbavic (17), played in Fürstenwalde (Jugendschachwoche) near Berlin.[2] In 1941, at the age of 17, Klaus Junge was considered one of the strongest players in Germany. In 1941, he won the championship of Hamburg. In May 1941, he won at Bad Elster (qualifying German championship). In August 1941, he tied for first with Paul Felix Schmidt at Bad Oeynhausen (the eighth German Championship), although he lost a playoff match against Schmidt for the title at Bromberg (+0 -3 =1). In October 1941, he took fourth place, behind Alexander Alekhine, Schmidt, and Efim Bogoljubow, at Kraków/Warsaw (the second General Government chess tournament championship).[3] In January 1942, Junge won the Dresden tournament. In 1942, he took second place, behind Walter Niephaus, at Leipzig. In April 1942, he was second, behind Carl Carls, at Rostock. In June 1942, he tied for third-fourth with Schmidt, behind Alekhine and Paul Keres, at the Salzburg 1942 chess tournament. In September, he took seventh place at the Munich (the first European Championship), won by Alekhine. In October 1942, he took second place, behind Alekhine, at Warsaw/Lublin/Kraków (the third General Government championship). In December 1942, he tied for first with Alekhine at Prague (Duras Jubileé, 60-jährigen Jubiläum).[4] In 1942-43, he played in three correspondence tournaments, beating among others Rudolf Teschner and Emil Joseph Diemer. World War II cut Junge's chess career short. Klaus Junge, whose father had been a member of the Nazi Party since 1932,[5] was an adherent of the National Socialist ideology. As a lieutenant of the Wehrmacht, he died in combat against Allied troops on 17 April 1945 in the Battle of Welle on the Lüneburg Heath, close to Hamburg, three weeks before World War II ended.[6] In 1946, Regensburg hosted the first Klaus Junge Memorial. The event was won by Fedor Bohatirchuk, ahead of Elmārs Zemgalis, Wolfgang Unzicker, etc (WIKIPEDIA)

Hey Mato; @3:21; what would happen if blank didn't take the rook? Example- Qc7

[@darkog8153]

Then Bc6 check and after King moves Queen takes bishop on c5 and we could stop there as Mato says

[@fporretto]

It looks like 16...Nc5 made the exchange sacrifice effective. I get the feeling that Junge wanted to keep "chopping wood" in the hope that he could hold a Queen or Rook ending against Alekhine. After 16...Be7 White's possibilities appear more limited, though against Alekhine...

[@ashutoshsrivastava4909]

At 5:18 bishop to d2 by alekhine is actually the killer move. Because if black tries to trap the queen by rook to a8 then there is a checkmate in 4 moves only possible because of the bishop move.

[@lowlypeasant]

Very educational game!

[@samuelbruyneel]

Alekhine again? I enjoy your videos, but I like some variation...

[@thequeensconquerer316]

True, I'm missing Fischer, Lasker and Tal. But Alekhine games are still quite a joy to watch.

[@samuelbruyneel]

They're getting a bit predictable though, since I found the "killah moves". Actually it was 2 times Rook to a6. The first one as a sacrifice, and the second one to prepare checkmate.

[@mcmcx5514]

Didn't know Mato was a huge fan of Alekhine. But Alekhine is great. Although I'm curious if you would make videos on these Geniuses: Fischer, Morphy, Tal, Rashiz Nez.

[@MatoJelic]

You are not curios. If you were you would check the playlists on my channel

[@DonSolaris]

owned!

[@mcmcx5514]

Thanks for the reply, but I'm curious haha. I have checked your channel and have seen all Fischer, Tal, Morphy and Rashid videos. I was wondering if you would make a series on these geniuses like Paul Keres and Alekhine.

[@bornon221269]

rook A6 is a genius move!

[@andreyyhzz]

Mato, is 1450 rating good for 14 year old who study chess for 8 months?

[@MatoJelic]

It is more than good, It is great

[@andreyyhzz]

MatoJelic Well, that's because of you. I have learned so much because of your videos... I don't think that I would be 1450 if your videos didn't exist... Thank you .. Have a nice day

[@andreyyhzz]

What is your rating?Dj Neef

[@Narrowcros]

You have a good future ahead of you. I have been playing for less than two years and I'am about 1700.

[@andreyyhzz]

Narrowc ross Me? :)

[@thearmadilloverde]

not a bad fight by Junge, but alekhine was too precise in this game. Probably not developing the dark square bishop was the mistake that compromised black's position

[@godmakoto1041]

You should do guide meditation

[@groth901]

mato...when are you going to make up videos of somebody else different from alekhine? the audience is waiting. thanks!

[@MatoJelic]

We are now in year 1942 with Alekhine. Enjoy it while it lasts

[@groth901]

+MatoJelic we re in year 1942 like 4 months ago. first time knowing a year last 3 times longer

[@MatoJelic]

Time is relative

[@edlawrence5059]

Of all the great chessplayers, you're hung up on your god, Alekhine.

[@MatoJelic]

There is only one true God, and it is not Alekhine

[@edlawrence5059]

The God of Chess, perhaps?

[@edlawrence5059]

***** He must've been in cahoots with Satan.

[@arsenalfanrichi]

Tal?

[@Hallands.]
