It requires a very special setup by your opponent. If they form a strong position on either side, you can surround it by using your knights' and bishops' superior mobility, exploiting the small gaps and preventing the king from castling, and allowing yourself to do so. With the rooks and queen now you can easily checkmate the enemy as they will have blocked their way out of their stronghold. The Maginot gambit has its benefits, but I'm not that much of a fan

This game never happened. If you search the internet for the etching which depicts the chess game between Lenin and Hitler, you will see that it isn't authentic. Lenin was almost completely bald by the age of 30, and there he was depicted as a man with hair, completely unrecognisable. Hitler also doesn't look like himself there. Most likely the etching was a mere product of artist's imagination and nothing more.

[@DiamorphineDeath]

Yea, I was buying it either. This whole period is littered with bad historical takes based on no proof, everything is taken on faith that these amazing feats and events occurred regardless of common sense, or an unbiased objective historical viewpoint. Primary sources are a must…

[@SpeedDaemon3]

It makes no sense, in 1909 Hitler was a 20 y/o nobody, there's no reason for someone to draw his game. We know he was a nobody even in ww1. His mother died at 18, and by 20, wikipedia says "In 1909, Hitler ran out of money and was forced to live a bohemian life in homeless shelters and a men's dormitory. He earned money as a casual labourer and by painting and selling watercolours of Vienna's sights." Also nothing can tie Lenin to Vienna in that time, and play chess with some homeless dude, as Lenin was already quite a "hotshot" in 1909. Also Lenin was half bald even in 1900 while Hitler is depicted as a 45 yo man, ffs he was only 20 in 1909, I know times were very hard but still.

An interesting tidbit, that is often omitted from history books, is that both Hitler and Stalin were avid chess players. During the breaks of long strategy palavers with his military staff, Hitler liked to unwind by playing blitz chess with the generals. He loved to gain the initiative with tricky gambits, but his daring play cost him many matches when opponents could withstand his early attacks. Often, after such a humiliating loss, Hitler would succumb to an unhinged tantrum of rage. A strange peculiarity in his playing style, was his propensity to irrationally sacrifice nearly all of his material, when faced with a looming defeat. Stalin too, as keen a chess enthusiast as his German arch nemesis, liked to challenge his comrades to games of chess, insisting on always playing with the black pieces. Stalin was known as a staunch defender and an endgame specialist. His main weapon was the formidable Stalingrad Defense in the Barbarossa Opening, where black counterattacks the overextended white army, typically resulting in an insurmountable queenside pawn storm in the endgame. The games with Stalin were invariably very long, usually stretching into the morning hours. In addition to the usual forks, pins and skewers, his tactics included taking very long times to think in seemingly innocuous positions, serving generous amounts of vodka to his opponents (while his vodka was diluted with 90% water), and steering the conversation to concern some mysterious disappearances of fellow politburo members.

[@kieranashley119]

I'm pretty sure Hitler never won a signal game of chess. I'll be impressed if he won even once.

[@Watchtone]

Unfortunately, the only evidence of this having ever happened is the painting, if it can even be counted as such. Neither Hitler or Lenin wrote or mentioned meeting one another. Even the painting has a few inaccuracies, Lenin was mostly bald by 1909 for example. Also the text for the painting describes Emma Löwenstamm bringing the two together to play one another. I do not know much about Lenin’s time in Austria during 1909 but I believe it was extremely brief (most biographies will only mention his time in England and France that year) and it was spent in hiding. It would be unlikely that he would accept invitations from strangers during this period. Furthermore, there aren’t any alleged recordings of this already alleged game. All in all, this game is almost certainly fabricated; even if they had played at all, the game certainly wasn’t recorded.

[@revisionistfrontier]

I have discussed this in an online article I wrote a few years ago. There are pictures of Lenin after 1909 which show him with hair since he was known to cut/lengthen his hair at different times in order to his identity. Even if that was not the case, it is a drawing, and Lenin -- or Emma Lowenstamm -- may have simply preferred him with hair. Neither Hitler nor Lenin would have discussed this for good reason: 1) By 1923 -- when Hitler had his Beer Hall Putsch incident -- Lenin's health was already in fast decline, and as far as he would have been concerned, Hitler was just some art student he met years earlier. 2) Hitler would not have spoken about this, because admitting that you had a positive encounter with the leader of the ideology/empire you now vehemently oppose would not have resonated well among his supporters.

[@Watchtone]

@@revisionistfrontier Giving Lenin and Hitler reasoning as to why they wouldn’t have mentioned playing this game does not automatically mean it was played. This also does not account for whoever recorded this supposed game.

[@revisionistfrontier]

@@Watchtone You are the one who mentioned Hitler and Lenin never mentioning it as proof it did not happen, and I simply gave you reasons why it would be unrealistic to expect either of them to have publicly thought about it. While Lenin was still mentally healthy, Hitler would have been seen as just one of tens of millions of Germans out there -- hardly somebody worth discussing. Meanwhile, Hitler's anti-Bolshevik attitude would not have boded very well among his followers if they found out he had once had casual chess games with their ideological enemies' former leader.

So this is what Kanye West meant when he said Hitler wasn’t that bad!

[@bk6189]

💀

[@ArimaSenne1]

He was a good man. I don't even have to elaborate you can already tell who I'm talking about.

[@Toast.ROM.]

Hitler's favorite chess piece is the horse. Other people will DAMN know why

[@matthewstaszewski4764]

the problem of this game is that it's hard to root for someone because of obvious reasons. (both being dictators)

[@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3]

At least lenin didn't commit any mass genocides (his successor did)

[@sRetailStoreMusic]

chancellors aren't dictators but okay my guy, neither of them perfectly fit the description of one

[@Crowekk]

🙋🇩🇪

[@JuiceBoxGD]

Wow, what a great game! I wonder if these two people had a very great chess history!

[@SavaTimo]

Unfortunately for Hitler there are no Jew pieces in chess

[@Konkov]

He’s probably glad about that

[@Andoni8833]

He can't blame this loss on the Jews,

[@lyvindy0527]

This was 1909, he probably didn't develop into the man we hated yet

[@elomial724]

Juicers..... takes, takes, taktes, takes

[@redwojak5182]

@@Andoni8833 lenin was jewish tho. as most of the bolshevicks

[@michaelmamba1578]

I have never thought about this or anything close to this but I’m intrigued

[@lpash949]

Coincidentally anyone hitler played during his reign as prime minister never beat hitler in chess

[@arronfowler2338]

Would be interesting to see what Elo they both were.

[@donncha4343]

hitler is around 1939-1945 elo

[@Areyamad]

Lenin was the underdog here, he was a bit lower at 1924

[@juanmarin450]

The thumbnail got me 😂😂also love you non chalantly say adolf hitler 🤣. Really good vid man I liked and subbed

[@Monnaruns]

“A French defense”☠️ yeah that makes sense

[@rahmmehra5583]

and he sacrifices... THE JEWSSSS

[@c_ornato]

guess lenin cares more about the king than I thought

[@theorangemask1014]

I think that the chess game is actually factual because according to Wikipedia Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 and Lein died in 1924 so the dates mach up they would be together and around the same time, now you have to know that Adolf was in the German imperial army during 1914-1920 now these dates mean that Adolf could not have played chess during these years of his life BUT according to the person who painted Adolf and Lenin playing chess he states that "they met in 1909 in Vienna Austria" that means that if you do the math Adolf would have bin 20 years old, also Lenin would be in a close by country of Switzerland so he could have gone to Vienna Austria and played chess with a young 20 year old, Adolf Hitler.

[@delux4285]

Mate you’re a legend

[@hatandtie2414]

1:04 what on earth was he doing everywhere else 💀💀💀

[@raduorcwarrior5907]

I was like: "Stfu I wanna watch the game" the whole video

[@diegobrando2592]

Its true that Hitler resinged. But as I remember Stalin got the board after in 19:24 minute as white.

[@Max-xk5us]

Nah, Stalin only started winning in 19:42

[@xjoseph1]

Lenin

[@diegobrando2592]

@cool dude Think bro think, its reference to ww2 and as u can see there is no 19:24 minute in the game its reference to 1924 🤦‍♂

[@umadbro4493]

"hitler just non stop applying pressure" 😆😆😆

[@RaccWurst]

Pov: your king has been annexed.

[@divingdave2945]

At some point during the following 35 years, Hitler forgot how to surrender.

[@umadbro4493]

could hitler stand a chance if he had moved king to e7 instead of king to g7? xD

[@GappingYourJungle]

no, because queen f7 would have been mate
