Mato's channel deserves more than a million subscribers.

Very smooth, Alekhine is one of the most instructive on improving his position and exploiting weaknesses by playing "simple" chess! He is in my top 5 with Kasparov, Botvinnik, Fischer and Tal. P.D. Mato please review the Kramnik vs Buhmann game from Dortmund yesterday!

[@jakadaya1727]

hy mato i am from indonesia and i wanna say thank you, because you post video and analys the move very good and i like it

[@andreadiatene]

Thanks for the game, Mato! I just love queen's indian defense :)

[@fleurhilten784]

Hi Mato, could you give us a little more time after: "Please pause the video" and your next question? That would be great and support our active learning by first trying to find the right move. Your presentations are great!!

[@charlesxavier4726]

Pause?

[@rkuppal5]

Absolutely brilliant attack by Alekhine..He could see hidden weaknesses in the opponents structure & exploit them ruthlessly..

[@balazsio]

great video again, maybe exchanging the queen should prolong Engelen for a while.

[@Andyson986]

04:02. I thought black Rook would take pawn on e3, and then (perhaps) push his pawn to f4.

[@HeyKevinYT]

White rook would recapture the black rook. If black now still plays f4 (forking knight and rook), white knight would move the knight to e4 and attacks the queen.

[@Andyson986]

Black Knight x e4 (forking King & Queen), pawn x e4, Queen x e3 check, King moves, Bishop x e4. If Bishop x on e4, Bishop x e4, pawn x e4, pawn x Rook on e3, check. Or just white Knight e4, Queen x e3 check.

Osum Positional Game... Lot to Learn From this Game.. Thanks Mato...:) #TrueFan #MatoJelic #Alexander Alekhine

[@exoplanet11]

That was quite prescient of Alekhine to play the "Spassky System" defense four years before Boris Spassky was born.

[@Robi2009]

0:12 - just a little nitpick - in 1933 Jakarta was a part of Dutch East Indies, Indonesia came to be in 1949.

[@11Kralle]

Indonesia was since 1884 the geographical name for the isles of the malayan archipelago. - yet it was a part of the Dutch East Indies nonetheless...

[@tylerartis5566]

Anther great video under 10 minutes got my like.

[@MickThal]

This time I saw the killer move, but only because Mato said, that there was one. It must be an attacking move, (probably with a piece sacrifice) and ne4 is such a move.

[@Danumurti18]

Strange queen diagonal take.. what a game.. btw I'm from Indonesia too 😁

[@AhmadKarwan98]

AA is my favorite along with Tal ❤️

[@fporretto]

I'd say the turning point at which Engelen's position started downhill was 17. de5. That injected a lot of energy into Black's attacking setup. Of course, against Alekhine, it's generally not a good idea, to open the center, but still...!

[@MatoJelic]

Thank you Francis

[@MickThal]

Thats right. But I think Engelen didnt like d5, because Alekhine could have played c6.

[@moshariff6320]

Another great chess game!

[@pauldow1648]

The unseen move.

[@wearetogether4167]

Nice game

[@jordanspeed3046]

this a nice Video

[@reaganabroad4952]

Great game!

[@ferdhylalfaiz4974]

wowww indonesiaaa

[@HeyKevinYT]

These are simple people. They see a chess board of Mato, they click "like".

[@MatoJelic]

I spend time to make a video-it takes only one click to say thank you. How about you? Do you ever click on like button?

[@HeyKevinYT]

Only if i remember..... to be honest :( i guess my joke backfired

[@MatoJelic]

I spend 2 hours to make a video for you and you can't say thank you (By clicking the LIKE button). Do you deserve to watch my videos for free?

[@HeyKevinYT]

Ok ok I apologize for my forgetful memory.... I watch your videos everyday, I know they are good, but I just forget to say thanks sometimes....... pls don't block me I still want to watch your vids

[@larsenvillaranda2245]

you are a 9gager my friend.. that joke wouldn't sit well outside of 9gag. thanks for the vids Mato! keep em coming please..

[@AznUzer]

I sometimes see the killer moves, but I almost never see the follow up :/

[@elcastorgrande]

Finally found the killa move!

[@urdjur1]

I don't understand why Ne4+ is such a killer move. Is white forced to take the knight with the f3 king pawn for some reason? Wouldn't it be less greedy to take back with the knight on g3 instead? When I paused the video, I considered Ng4+ instead. It doesn't fork the queen, but white can only capture with the pawn. If he moves the king instead, you can take the pawn at e3. Is this a bad plan? Also, thanks for your entertaining videos Mato!

[@locutusdborg126]

I was thinking the same thing.

5:03 Qg5...let's see

[@mcmcx5514]

Mato, who do you think would have won in a rematch between Alekhine and Capablanca?

[@xxAutoFlowxx]

Alekhine

[@rkuppal5]

I think Alekhine was overall a better & complete player than Capablanca..

[@Watermelon_Man92]

Mm. I tried sacrificing the other way (Ng4+ instead of Ne4+).

[@Watermelon_Man92]

(Alekhine's line isn't really a sacrifice but it's likely the best choice. I was trying to go 1...Ng4+ and if 2.fxg4 then 2...fxg4+ 3.Ke1 Rxe3 and White has complications.)

[@edancoll3250]

After 21. h4 Ne4, why was the knight captured with f pawn? Aren't _22. Ne4_ or _22. Be4_ better captures?

[@Zodiac20003]

Capturing with the knight loses a whole piece: 22. Nxe4 fxe4 23. Bc2 exf3 24. gxf3 Rxf3 (Computer reads 11 pawn advantage to black unless white lets black take the bishop with the pawn, in which case it reads 4.1 pawn advantage and black is a piece up) The computer seems pretty indifferent between pawn takes knight and bishop takes knight though.

[@Hallands.]

No, it's not my one dislike. I never dislike Matos posts. He's far too funny and generous and I've learned at lot from his postings. He's clear and to the point, probably because he isn't hung up on ego. I only follow Mato and Jan Gustafsson Banterblitz, having long since lost patience with those who overestimate their abilities or simply talk too much.

[@HeyKevinYT]

Lol no one said you disliked.

[@Hallands.]

+Kevin Vs. Gamingz 😊 I know, but there was only one, and I the only one with a little criticism...

[@93Dota]

ولله فحجو يا خال

[@tomychalea]

yey.. finally indonesia 😍

[@oluwaseyidolapo3544]

Got the killer move immediately

[@jonathanautoga3747]

Mato Mato, Why the pawn takes the K sacrifice! If the BxN then keep the file close. Taking the knight by pawn is allowing the black in better position.

[@Czesiek1101]

Best Alekhine's game

[@HeyKevinYT]

Best????

[@pawelpaszkiewicz6341]

Very nice game. Even though I am more intermediate player rather than expert, I consider Engelens move with the king towards the center kind of an obvious mistake in many ways. Firstly, I wouldnt count on such renown player as Alekhin to exchange pieces rather than complicating situation to find any positional advantage. secondly, putting the king in a line with rook when e4 is secured by 3 opponents pieces, this is just asking for trouble! Am i missing anything? I find it very surprising when top class players on one hand are able to solve very complicated patterns many moves ahead and they are storming forward when i would be too uncertain about the outcome, on the other hand they make moves I clearly see as obvious blunders.

[@bebeto6861]

alekhine very strong again, he can destroy most opponents

[@harrisonhutagalung8879]

Indonesia....

[@edlawrence5059]

How about posting a game where there's actually some stiff competition?

[@xxAutoFlowxx]

h4 was terrible (the losing move)...to start a counterattack in a defensive position wasn't smart...

[@esclassa]

engelen did a big present to alek with this wrong important moves

[@Hallands.]

Well, Engelen starts loosing the game rather early! 4 Nf3 is the wrong horse, as Alekhine obviously will play Bb7! This horse will, instead of participating in the control of the center, create a bind on either his queen or his wh sq bishop until the diagonal is blocked. He then seems to forget about this problem, thereby inviting an attac on the king. This poor understanding of the centergame - confirmed later, when Engelen has the opportunity to block Alekhines wh sq bishop on two occasions - is the beginning of the end. Kf2 is a Hail Mary Move and h4 is hopeless. Alekhines Ne4 is fine, but it is not THE killa move, since f4 is stronger. But no matter, at that point anything sensible wins for black...
