Alekhine's Masterpiece From Amstelveen 1933

[@fporretto]

Alekhine made such tactical analyses so swiftly that it was difficult to believe he hadn't prepared the variation in private. It gives plausibility to the assertion, quoted in Horowitz's _The World Chess Championship,_ that "He lived for chess, and for chess alone."

You are supposed to harass the queen if your opponent brings it out early.

[@terrak7609]

@@plywoodcarjohnson5412 you are right but rules have plenty of exceptions^^

[@christophergolfer]

Happy to see another Alekhine game. My favorite grandmaster.

[@alvarocampos1993]

On my friend's birthday I gave him a nice wooden chesboard as a present. We used to play often until one day he got kind of upset with me after he lost a game. He told me he hated that I win more games even though I clearly have no idea whatsoever about openings. To be honest I had no idea what he was on about, I learnt chess when I was 3 years old through my older brother, and we only knew the rules so I thought that was all there's to know about. Since my friend told me about openings I began to be more interested in the matter, as I was already 29 years old by then (2010). It was then that I discovered matojelic videos and I got hooked to them all. Thanks to you Mato I have not only rediscover chess but you have also made me improve a lot more. I wish you the best in life and thanks again for your efforts, passion and enthusiasm

[@alvarocampos1993]

I would like to add, that the increase of being able to see many of the "killa moves" and the follow-up compared to all these years watching your videos is a very rewarding feeling

[@MatoJelic]

Thank you for your comment

[@putturshreyas6045]

Wouldn't have been an Alekhine game without the aggressive h4. Great chess, thanks Mato!

[@reaganabroad4952]

I remember Mato's Alekhine series from a few years back. I love those games.

[@skakofilsanonims4434]

Unforgettable series, he had Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe, Botvinnik... tones of fun, I felt in debt with Mato :)

[@samiraljubory6223]

Alekhine come back 😍 thank you mato 🌹🌹🌹

[@ramazanaktas3699]

"Before Stockfish there was Alekhine" Hilarious, yetcorrect. I felt like even though you knew the move, you still sound excited with Kd5.

[@alexanderharveyconrad2409]

Down a piece? Sacrifice another!

[@hnalike7778]

No matter how many times i watch alekhines games always get some understanding.

[@khaledit7050]

If he didn't die he would stay the world champion for ever

[@pankajpitroda2070]

Nice One Maato...I Luv Alekhine Game..Thnx

[@ibrahimmahmoud7705]

alekhine videos are back :* :* :* thx mato

[@karimmuradian9679]

Amazing ! Thank you so much :)

[@lajos-berenyi]

Alexander, the Great. Really!

[@ewibisono]

I now notice a trade mark in many Mato's vids: "What is the best square for the...?" means "Don't touch that piece!"

[@exoplanet11]

Shhh... Don't tell anyone.

[@luisfilipedesouzagomes9545]

Awesome, just awesome! Thanks, Mato the Great Jelic.

[@amrmoawad8847]

Great Great Greatest ALEXANDER......WOW

[@parthabandyopadhyay3912]

These people surely knew how to play the game....😉

[@gerardfeisvuc1241]

YEAH! i'm from Argentina...so beauty played--- Thanks for sharing this amazing plays. Sorry for my troubled -something- english. xD.

[@jonwill]

Fun to watch!

[@azy63]

Love the Alexander "The Great" Alekhine nick name! I wish I had thought of it!

[@HollyMartins]

Just like you say Mato.............amazing and very precise

[@ahmedhatemomar]

Just amazing

[@charlesabernathy9064]

Brilliant win.

[@mosesum4nt1r19]

Thanks Mato

[@annamaycuenca7190]

Awesome

[@jairsantos9270]

Great Alekhine!!

[@pauloleroux3345]

Fantastic game !!!

[@frankcastillobass]

The champion that made me love chess

[@hassan4]

I like your explaining.

[@piyushsharma5938]

A great game by the great legend.

[@luisfernandoyepezsilva3245]

"And that is all" was invented by Alekhine😊

[@hnalike7778]

Evergreen games

[@TSgitaar]

I realize now that Alekhine must have been influenced by Morphy. Many of their games have a sense of inevitability about them, like it could only end with a brilliant checkmate. Its so brilliant to watch these games.

[@juanmanuelreyrodriguez4119]

what makes a mortal person thinks like alekhine?....unbelievable

[@jeffreyindri]

Amazing attack wuaaauuu

[@andrewponton]

Bravo

[@venkateswararao9837]

Super Mato

[@johnrider2108]

The knight to d5 was an obvious attack on the bishop. Could black have saved himself by simply taking the knight with his knight?

[@tennisfreak312]

I'm at the point where I don't care who are the players. I saw Mato. I clicked. Simple

[@ericthomasedavidgoggins6469]

Se possível explique as partidas em português.

[@luisfernandoyepezsilva3245]

I had to learn English listening Mato.Relatively easy😊Try to do.

[@uziuzburun4526]

04:07 and 04:37, I paused and found the right moves. I was surprised by myself. Am I getting smarter watching your videos Mato? :D

[@sarmadali174]

What if queen takes pawn on e2 it will also lead in mate...

[@ahmadrahimkhan]

O my word! 🤭

[@peterpuleo2904]

Was AA the best ever? If not, who was?

[@balazsio]

He should have taken the centralized knight first, I would see that variation

[@khaledit7050]

I think that Tal couldn't make a such tactic

[@dmproduction1384]

Khaled IT Difference style. Tal has an aggressive attack and tactics. But Alekhine has a beautiful, art, maestro of tactics.

[@khaledit7050]

Dhana Kusuma Yes, but his aggressiveness lets him lose many gams, the youtubers show us only Tal's winning gams Alekhine was more stable and genius tactical player so he stayed a world champion until his death

[@dmproduction1384]

Khaled IT True.

[@messi10andcr77]

Hhhhhhhh ... Tal made more impossible tatctics ..he has games which are all of his pieces hanging and has a forced check mate Also he didn't lose a lot as you see he was like Alekhine with a stronger tatctics .. you are talking about a man who people call it the best magician in the history

[@ferdinandbuenavides1256]

I like it

[@ehatipo4598]

I haven't got the purpose of Ne5 move. I predicted Rh8+ or g6 with big attack and possible check-mate. I think playing g6 right away serves the same purpose, distracting the queen and playing Qc4 overloads the black queen if Rf7, Rh8 mate with same idea.

[@Shuloon81]

If not for that knight sacrifice, black would still have a pawn on d6 and after white tries Qc4+ black just pushes that pawn to d5 to block the check. The knight sac got that pawn away so there was no blocking the Queen check without getting mated.

[@dmproduction1384]

Ke5 was an extraordinary moves. That makes black pawn on d6 can't defends Qe4+ . Alekhine saw Qe4+ would be a winning move if the black didnt have the D pawn. So with his immagination he found the Ke5 moves. Insist black to take that Knight with the d6 pawn. If black Queen takes, white g6 would be the winning move. I wonder how can Alekhine places his pieces to have a many option for the killer move. Did he saw it and has a plan in the last 10 moves or even more????

[@darkog8153]

Bobby Fisher said that Alekhine was deepest thinker in history of chess.

[@exoplanet11]

Good game to know if you play Ruy Lopez.

[@dineshkumarpatil9374]

Waiting for analysis of wrong move. Nice game btw.

[@forevercu]

Alexander Alekhine is the best player in chess history. Tal , Fischer and Kasparov are his kids

[@KeithAndrew13]

Yeah... Alexander Alekhine is best... I love his game 2

[@teejayclan]

Morphy , Fischer, Pillsbury , Alekhine , Capablanca.

[@AroundTheW1]

🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@arjunsr1338]

Nothing to think much...it is a sweet short pawn killer chess game.and matho sir present it very beautifully..tq mato sir 😀.those who dislike this vedio, will be a donkey.,😉

[@TheDevilshire]

G6 was already winning before the knight play so there was no need.

[@Shuloon81]

No it wasn't. If not for that knight sacrifice, black would still have a pawn on d6 and after white tries Qc4+ black just pushes that pawn to d5 to block the check. The knight sac got that pawn away so there was no blocking the Queen check without getting mated.

[@TheDevilshire]

@@Shuloon81 Quite right, thank you.

[@stevesidare2493]

Tal was a magician, Alekhine was a meat cleaver.

[@NitrosS]

Man Mato, this Russian is from Earth? hahahha my favorite player of all time... He is just the best. I don't think that Capablanca was better. Alekhine was far ahead of his time.
