Thank you so much! Nimzowitsch is one of my favorite chess players, would love it if you could cover more games like these!

[@ramnagarajan]

Alapin got pinned! Great narration to a lovely game. Thanks Mato!

[@Gandalfthegreen41]

I love learning from old games like this one. Thanks Mato!

[@vaishnava.r558]

Mato is my favorite chess teacher on youtube.

[@jagmohanmandre7447]

This game shows why "pin is mightier than the sword'.

[@Smileater]

Hahahha, good one!

[@cameront3768]

What a masterpiece truly amazing the minds of super grand masters.

[@MrVinnyable1]

Love your videos Mató!

[@BlueSky-eb2sv]

I like this beautiful old games that you bring to us with your comments! And Mato, I like your clear calm voice as well.

[@openheart6113]

Another fantastic game thanks from Queensland.

[@RodrigoHR13]

Beautiful game

[@artjomkorolev222]

Like they always say: king's safety first! Thank you Mato.

[@sherratto3087]

Thanks for posting!

[@dcan888]

Amazing game Mato!

[@gustavofiguera]

Mato, you did it again. This was another beauty combination from Nimzowitsch. His oponent, Semyon Alapin was one of the strongest russian players that time, not a NN player.

[@cadusindona]

Absolutly beautiful.

[@barrymedeiros5190]

Unbelievable game

[@mangeshdani6411]

Masterpiece 👍❤️

[@AlecLudlow1]

Fabulous mate!

[@jeffreyindri]

fantastic

[@jacobdrollinger4802]

I'm thinking that the only way I could play a game like that is if I had an hour to analyze every move.

[@carlosfcruz-rr9hp]

Yes, that was a masterpiece.

[@WikKakarotski]

This is the best game ever !!

[@praveenraj9713]

Simply beautiful!

[@ismetadanir2556]

What a brillant game

[@ardoardo3536]

Beautiful beautiful...

[@fporretto]

That game had a feel somewhat like Reti-Tartakover 1910.

[@simonlepine7765]

Very very nice !

[@betulaobscura]

Brilliant game!

[@zarron221]

Wat a game... Thanks Mato Your the best

[@user-nu1sj1gk8q]

Thanks Mato :)

[@eefore]

Yes, a masterpiece

[@jeffreyindri]

Excellent game wuaaauuu very good

[@indigofenrir7236]

Let's see... - All major pieces and a Bishop are aiming at you. - Your Queen is in a compromised position, and your Rooks are still asleep. - You haven't castled yet and are under heavy fire from the opponent. - It's not the endgame yet. Sounds like a very horrible way to lose.

[@hddm3]

Really sneaky.

[@alfredschraufstetter9470]

amazing game, a masterpiece

[@chadetrikrout]

Excellent game...

[@davidsmookler5757]

Wow indeed!!

[@hnalike7778]

What a game. It all started with g2 pawn.

[@Smileater]

This should be called "An Immortal"

[@MatoJelic]

I agree

[@Smileater]

@@MatoJelic It's extremely beautiful, that checkmate was a work of wit and art. Thanks dor sharing, Mato. Greetings from Peru!

[@mrfreeandclear970]

[@jeffreyindri]

Wuaaauuu

[@narendrakumarsharma655]

Wow..!!

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

Not to brag but I've seen all the combinations but yes this is a masterpiece.

[@DarkSideChess]

Would you have allowed the knight sac?

[@reaganabroad4952]

I love these games. 1500: "I understand the importance of quick development." GM: "I know how to turn that into a win."

[@mangeshdani6411]

Dear Mato, The old master's games are legendary. However the recent games of contemporary chess greats have a different flavour, may be because of improvement in chess theory. Your end game series was a treat which you discontinued abruptly. Anyway whatever chess you post is educational in its content. Request during your commentary in your videos please elaborate on the underlying improvement in theory which leads to a different approach of contemporary players over the old masters. It would bring more clarity to the modern chess tactics. Regards

[@ojas3464]

👍

[@drshivraj_suryawanshi]

😱

[@elcastorgrande]

The master blockader. Smopher your opponent.

[@ObjectiveGamer]

What a dominate game by white

[@georgemwanza6339]

Man if I try to play these kinda sacrificing moves on live chess I get wrecked I think people nowadays have watched every game

[@khann2159]

This is the result of taking poisoned pawns and being under developed in chess, MVL has lost at least 5 classical games because of that, it's never worth

[@hatemjaziri9919]

Mmmmmmmm…..

[@MLSaini-kk4lr]

Alapin plays badly in the game
