Alexander Alekhine Worst Defeat Ever

[@BobbyMack]

I have been on youtube for 10 years and matojelic's channel is my favorite channel of all time.

[@tomimbek]

plot twist, Pérez was actually KERES

[@jrcp87]

thanks for posting. Francisco Jose Perez Perez is my grandfather.

[@MatoJelic]

Your grandfather is a legend

[@jrcp87]

@@MatoJelic appreciate it. I still remember growing up playing chess with him. I wish I would have kept up with it myself. Need to get back into it and get my children to play more often.

[@PapeeteParis]

Very Nice lecture Mato Mato!

[@SilentForceX]

Mato, for April Fool's Day you should commentate a checkers game!

[@jc7868]

checker?😒 holy shif

[@claytonbenignus4688]

Definitely the Spanish Immortal Game. Perez went for broke. Win or lose, Perez goes out with a Blaze of Glory!

[@AmsterdamFilho]

As always, well done, Mato! So nice of you to also remind us of such a beautiful Bible teaching.

[@Th0ughtf0rce]

Now that you have quite a collection of games by famous players, perhaps you could consider making biographical videos? To differentiate from other documentaries, maybe spend only 1/4 of the vid for standard bio stuff like early life and chess career, inspiration to play chess, etc. Then the rest for discussing a player's style, strengths and weaknesses of such style, how it worked, and how it sometimes didn't work against players of the same era. You can show game segments, or even link your older vids for viewers interested in deeper analyses. I love your channel and believe this type of video will greatly benefit from your presentation style and wit.

Woooow!! Pérez sorprendió a todos!! (y seguirá, gracias a tu video Mato) Un par de piezas menores a cambio de un mate es un buen negocio ;)

[@miamigardensvoicetv9911]

Vienna gambit, my favorite opening.

[@WAPBodie]

I´ve never heard about Perez, but he could be proud to beat one of the best chess player in history in Tal´s style!

[@ismailayaz1591]

What a game. Well done mato :) pls share his chess games. By for now lol

[@samjohnson3740]

Ecclesiastes 9:11 made my day complete. Thank you.

[@yggdrasil9039]

Mato was saying how he imagined Alekhine. I sometimes try to imagine what it would have been like if there had been today's social media back in the times of Alekhine, Lasker, Tal and Capablanca. What a treasure trove of videos that would be.

[@pacogomez1707]

Alekhine was either incredibly drunk or (unusually for him) stone cold sober and in need of a drink.

[@franckferrante6614]

It's rare to see Alekhine losing so quickly and to collapse like that ! Wow !

[@nckillezio9106]

i feel like most of the times i find the "killer move" is because i know there will be a killer move

[@mrpossibilities]

I didn't guess the Bx7 move, but I did guess the alternative checkmate Qd5 move :)

[@georgesbekhaazi7798]

I love your videos man

[@twopaddles1]

i love when mato gets excited when describing moves like at 1:30

[@altimate1]

More deadlier than Tal and Nezhmetdinov

[@TheKing00725]

few sacrifices are important in life and the game of chess!

[@Mrius86]

This game was played in 1943. Anything important happen to you in 1943?

[@Anacronian]

Is this Sparta? No this IS MATO!

[@olasek7972]

Mato, many thanks to you from Polish-American chess community.

[@Dizboz]

This position was very familiar with one of paul morphy's game and he won the gamr

[@Affliction604]

HAHAHAHAHAHA, omg, omg i just played the absolutely same game with my friend after watching this video. After the game he told me: " Did you really had an idea what you were doing?" Thank you Mato ! :D

[@sacthequeen4295]

I love when Mato moves the last piece like the finishing move is something completely losing (like queen takes knight here lol) and then swings over for the real move :),

[@spdharan]

Wowww

[@LJLMETAL]

WOW! This game has stunned me. It is not often you see Alexander Alekhine resign so easily.

[@timothysiahaan8977]

This is a great presentation of the game.

[@fporretto]

What did Alekhine do after resigning? And was he drunk at the time, as he had so often been in the past?

[@TheMyAlchemista]

I thought that Alekhine could not be defeated

[@edlawrence5059]

He wasn't held by them; he willingly collaborated with them.

[@msotil]

Francisco Perez Perez was three times chess champion of Spain (among other chess accomplishments. So he was no ordinary chess player.

[@boat6float]

Francis Porretto I always liked playing drunk chess. I had some fascinating games. One of the drunk chess games that I played with my college roommate was taking a drink after capturing a piece. Or the reverse. Sometimes a game was never finished.

[@bimalpudasaini9526]

I'm amazed amazed !!

[@titoaditya3633]

The Funniest introducing moment from Mato :D

[@leaccordion]

Great game! If I was a modern day SuperComputer I'd be trembling in my binary codes.

[@NextYtHero]

This has to be one of the most genius games I have ever seen, especially considering Perez´Opponent was not just anybody but the legend Alekhine himself..

[@horsefly34]

JUUUUST KIDDINNNGGGGG

[@arjundutta9763]

extremely brilliant playing by Perez

[@nursohel7362]

such a beauty ... wow

[@chihlimbar2]

besides the game I also like the quote from ecclesiast

[@titoaditya3633]

"Nice to meet you, i'm Alekhine Alekhine" LOL, what a joke hahahahaa

[@springnuance7048]

yes, finally Alekhine got defeated. Ive waited so many games to see alekhines defeat, especially Marshall vs Alekhine, I thought Marshall won but the game disappointed me that Alekhine won. Perez is awesome

[@walidhindi7723]

Spring Nuance You have to consider the age..,that was 1943... if he met alekhine when he was young I don't think he would win this

[@fabioalexandrino2244]

Game transposed to some kind of kings gambit style

[@valentijnraw]

The opening played by white is called the Vienna opening aka delayed kings gambit. Also the knight sacrafice is very well known. Dont know why alekhine fell for this

[@Nubian42]

Yes, some kind of Muzio gambit style

[@vitakyo982]

Wild thing

[@PEEBI99]

Is there any chance Perez knew future reading ,thereby he played like Tal

[@shizyninjarocks]

That was a surprising killer-move, for sure.

[@Mike_Wilson_KJV]

This looks kind of like a Morphy vs NN (Modified King's Gambit) where Morphy gives odds of the queen's rook and obliterates his opponent within 10 moves. For the world champion to loose like this, Alekhine must have been suffering from something so debilitating that he couldn't focus or concentrate; or maybe he was extremely intoxicated.

[@DWeirich76]

Mato gets me all the time with those psych-out moves.

[@chrisa4510]

Nice scripture quote at the end Mato

[@thecrouchingdragon6541]

This game , one against Lasker and one against Keres are the only games in which I saw Alekhine losing!

[@SuperAngelofglory]

perez was a genius

[@Jan_ne]

he just replayed Paul Morphy's games?

[@claytonbenignus4688]

In 1943, Alekhine had seen better days. He was so far gone in 1945 that Botvinnik was unable to prop him up for a title defense.

[@GlorifiedTruth]

Perez Perez, the inspiration for Duran Duran, had actually shortened his surname from Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez Perez .

[@Санти-о7н]

amazing game

[@Freakland4You]

Anyone knows which programme does Mato use?

[@Diademic111]

+Freakland it's Hiarcs

[@Freakland4You]

Is it free? If not how much does it cost?

[@Diademic111]

+Freakland it's not free no :( they have their own website you can download it directly from for $40 for the standard version or $80 for the expanded version www.hiarcs.com/prev-prod/PC12/pcucihow_to_buy2.htm

[@Freakland4You]

Damn :( that's quite a lot, btw do you know which GUI he uses? I have Arena but is not the same one

[@tihomirhorcicka615]

2:16 black would play g2 discovered check from queen of h4 and if white captures the queen, black would capture the rook on h1 promoting his pawn to queen and he would win the rook. If white plays queen to g3 then black would capture the queen od g3 and when white captures the queen, black would capture the rook promote his pawn to queen and win the queen and the rook. If after g2+ Qg3 Qxg3+ white plays king to e2, then black captures the rook on h1 promoting his pawn to queen, white would capture the queen on g3, but still he would be queen and rook down. And if after g2+ white plays king to e2, black would capture the queen, and after white captures with knight, he would capture the rook on h1 with pawn, promote to queen and win the queen and the rook again. After g2+ Ke2 Qxg4 white could move his king (because it's check) then white would capture the rook on h1 promoting to queen and after knight takes queen black wins queen and rook. Or he would move the queen from the attack of the knight, then bishop will capture on g2 but he would win bishop, not rook because he'll move his queen somewhere on g- line.

[@roberto11867]

wow! never seen Alekhine treated this way

[@TrollingTVt]

MATO WHAT YEAR WAS IT GAME!?

[@rpralica]

Madrid 1943 blitz tournament

[@williambunter3311]

Alekhine met another Alekhine!!Brilliant!!

[@combinio9533]

this was 100% Paul Morphy style, amazing!!! ;D

[@BattleFieldGalaxy]

Nakamura played the same opening in the world blitz.

[@slaznum1]

Very entertaining

[@ayunakilowborn8559]

it was like I'm watching Alekhine vs MORPHY..

[@ilkinond]

Can I ask, what's your first language Mato?

[@fburton8]

+ilkinond Whatever Mato's first language, his English is fantastic!

[@ilkinond]

+fburton8 I'm not calling that into question for a moment.

[@fburton8]

+ilkinond That certainly wasn't my intention - sorry if you got that impression. I was just adding a positive comment expressing something I've thought for a long time, and your question gave me the excuse to do that. :)

[@MKcLTM]

+ilkinond Jeez, like its hard find some information about Mato .. use brain (and google) .. dont be lazy

[@faisalkhan-xc2vv]

I got the killer move !!!!!!! Mato is right the feeling is indescribable

[@NandoLeriv]

Interesante.

[@woobmonkey]

Why not 7. ... Qh4+?

[@olasek7972]

+woobmonkey I agree, but since this move can be easily defended against (like g3) Alekhin probably thought the other was more aggressive.

[@VishalSingh-be1uu]

wow , perez attacked in alekhine style

[@MrSasuke628]

mato no april fools ?

[@samuelcastano2722]

It's extremely odd to hear...And Alekhine resigned! It's kind of unnatural.

[@v.gopalakrishnan350]

Alekhine must have been drinking too much and not really concentrating! I HATE THIS GAME!!!

[@samuelyoung8103]

Amazing. I love this romantic style of chess.

[@dergrammatik-nazi8999]

I love you mato

[@spamwithrice]

Love you mato

[@janniedzwiecki3419]

I thought that white to all suprise was going to lose. You know, today is 01. 04 and who creates better jokes than Mato? I am so disapointed.

[@keghamminasarmeniansoul]

Alekhine liked women and drinking ...sometimes made him forget chess ! He had to stop drinking inorder to regain the title of World Champion !

[@edlawrence5059]

He was a reprobate.

[@23121982di]

that what happens when taugh guy plays with black pieces...

[@Jan_ne]

I would play f4 Paul Morphy style

[@Jan_ne]

c4, I mean

[@jairofonseca1597]

Nice trap.

[@xtrems2]

Why does he keep pronouncing Perez as Peréz? It hurts :_D

[@sridharmaka11]

Don't be slave for ur own intelligence.... Meaning of it..

[@MrSabachtani]

Why is there so much hatred for Aljechin? He was one of the best chessplayers ever! Maybe he was not that nice away from the board, but that would be nobody's business. He even was graceous in defeat. According to Max Euwe he was very polite and cogratualted him on his victory at the Championship. Couldn't happen today, I guess^^

[@claytonbenignus4688]

Alekhine made enemies as a propagandist for the Nazis. His anti-Jewish writings attacked Jewish Player, in particular Reti. Some Jewish players, Reuben Fine in particular, treated Alekhine as a pariah. Fine, who was also a professional Psychologist, wrote some unflattering psychoanalytical prose on Alekhine. Botvinnik, also a Jew, was a realist and saw that the post-War Alekhine was a has-been, and challenged Alekhine in order to take his title quietly.

[@junaid12345678901234]

wow

[@Jewgataga]

perez power

[@hunterazaola]

Alekhine let Perez to win.

[@horriblespaghetti]

Like for the joke.

[@charlesyang1258]

Kings gambit :D

[@edlawrence5059]

What a lame-brain game by Alekhine.

[@lootiyandarghorbat7255]

Alekhine is still the best player for me!!!

[@mttmarazzi1452]

playing risk and winning the game haha

[@SuperAngelofglory]

+Boldo Xenneru ya but you must know very very very well what you're doing

[@mttmarazzi1452]

+SuperAngelofglory well.. i agree, but a risk is always a risk.. you can't be sure what will happens, especially against Alekhine, a tactical master.

[@AlexHeisEngholm]

No april fooling?

[@Egonkiller]

+Alexander Heise Didn't you watch the Harem video?

[@AlexHeisEngholm]

Jack Freeman that video was uploaded 31. mar. 2016

[@Egonkiller]

Alexander Heise Nah, it was first of april for Mato that lives in Australia ^^ (You can watch it that it says that in the end, "Video Uploaded in 1 of april) Though I like some users idea of him commeting on a checkers game lol

[@krishnachaithanya3899]

:(

[@googlealgerien1446]

hahahaaaaa

[@guxtAv123]

the joke hahaha
