The King Hunt: Alekhine vs Rua - Gijon 1922

[@totu376]

I laughed way too hard when you said forking the whole village xD thank you

[@surjyadebnath3579]

CHESS GAME IS EXCELLENT; THANKS MR. MATO JELIC

[@nigelstanford4]

This game was way to complicated for me...and I wasn't even blindfolded

[@lebareslep]

'Forking the whole village', lol

[@mbayram8658]

:D

[@markbutler6788]

lmao

[@DimcheM4A1]

lebareslep i died laughing for that one

[@v.gopalakrishnan350]

Alekhine knows all winning combinations and there is no way to stop him!

[@flyingcod14]

In the excellent 'Endgame' Frank Brady bio on Bobby Fischer, the first chapter mentions Bobby walking down the street in New York playing blind chess with his tutor. That floored me! Blind Chess!!! I mean how on earth...? I forget where pieces are when I'm looking at the damn board!

[@dishil1]

Thanks Mato.....:).. I m biggest Fan of u and your Video

[@twopaddles1]

how do you keep in mind all the moves when playing blindfold?

[@lucasvazquez95]

Nothing like a king hunt video from Mato

[@AlexHeisEngholm]

What about at 9:24 pawn g7? My line as I see it: B.Kh7, W.Qh6, B.KnxQ, W.RxR and the pawn can easy promotes.

[@AlexHeisEngholm]

Maybe W.Qg5 insted, sorry.

[@BLooDCoMPleX]

How does one play simultaneously and/or blindfold? Can they visualize the state of the board in their heads?

[@briankarcher4418]

Something to do with partitioning the board into segments in your head. Piece layout in segments are often repeated and easier to remember.

[@abbasamhar9638]

They was born on chess board

[@adityavadali2490]

Hw many wins/draws 4 Alekhine in tht blind simul Sir ?

[@Hallands.]

Even were it without blindfold it would still be excellent... With? Flabbergasting!

[@czegenyiraymond3342]

Maybe is Alekhine the greatest player of all time? This guy is awesome!!

[@Querent2000]

+Czegenyi Raymond You could certainly make a case for that thesis. Probably his only real competitors would be Fischer and Kasparov. Maybe Botvinnik and Rubinstein.

[@edlawrence5059]

+Czegenyi Raymond .......... Personally, I think Keres was better.

[@1001themaster]

Lasker perhaps?

[@edlawrence5059]

Balázs Szabó nice game. thanks

[@kobbik9473]

after a while mato finally replied me am in tears

[@kevinsuryapranata]

[@jarmokajander7990]

THANK YOU

[@11Kralle]

Have a nice weekend!

[@edlawrence5059]

How about some games from some of the other Soviet masters ?

[@marduk1734]

8:54. after g6 why not queen takes rook? if queen takes queen then rook takes queen, black could continue

[@marduk1734]

[@joeyp3452]

good fight from Rua.

[@wladyslawderstreiter9078]

What means blind folded?

[@killerm5]

+Wladyslaw der Streiter It means with a blindfold, which is something that blocks your vision. So he was playing without seeing the board and the pieces. Have a nice day :)

[@wladyslawderstreiter9078]

+killerm5 Thx very much! Amazing that people still play that well

[@kobbik9473]

[@kobbik9473]

+MatoJelic u are ryte my rating has jumped frm 1200 to 2000 online ratings all thks to ur king hunts

[@MatoJelic]

+Kobbi k Thank you. Can you please make that comment here: kzbin.infodiscussion chessschoolsa.wordpress.com/about-mato-jelic/

[@MickThal]

+MatoJelic Hi Mato, thank you, my rating increased from 1200 to 1450 after watching your videos. Fried liver attack, Traxler counter attack, Sicilian defence, Ruy Lopez, Queens Gambit (declined or not) and many other openings, how to play middle- and endgames in a proper way, I learned it all here. I was surprised to read, that Botvinik is one of your favorite players. After the Keres series, I thought you would prefer Keres to Botvinik.

[@vishalchavda3663]

rua was afraid of making a good move.... :P :P :P

[@curaticac5391]
