Rubinstein vs Alekhine - St Petersburg 1914

[@StFoIMba]

You deserve more likes Mato. Entertaining me daily for 3 years already :)

[@sreckokraljina6224]

7 years and counting

[@iankangwa]

Matto the man we need more from you

[@twopaddles1]

1914...the 2nd year anniversary of Mato's grandfather smoke-free.

[@minicello231]

in 3:53 White could have moved Ne7+ winning the black knight

[@KillberZomL4D42494]

LMAO

[@LJLMETAL]

@3:03; he says "black to move, but he already moved the black piece. Great game, Mato! I love the counter attacks. Watching a game like this is a lot of fun.

[@RavenToe]

The RavenToe is also a fan of the Nimzo. I have studied it for a while and I remember I used a variation called the Hubner variation which has some cool strategic ideas. It is very positional. The main idea is not to push d5 but leave it on d6 to support an e5-e4 advance. Thx Mato!

1914 - the year my great-grandparents fled from a village in Masuria to Koenigsberg; there, my grandfather met my grandmother twelve years later...

[@Diademic111]

I like when you explain how the openings came about Mato..cheers

[@JamesLintonwriter]

In 1914, I signed up to fight in the Great War. I wasn't even an unfertilised egg yet!

[@blairschirmerx1711]

"3...Bb4?! Dubious and premature. The bishop belongs close to home, not making dangerous, early forays to the Qside."

[@cfaprashant45]

Awesome dear

[@cavaturnagesh]

Alekhine used to boast that he had to be defeated once each in the opening, middle game and endgame. Maybe it was true. What a great player.

[@omedakreyi5152]

could you show games with the nimzowitsch defense opening?

[@howdyhoneybadger8074]

Nice game. Nice old school free for all chess

[@Ophiuchus123456789]

Subtitles are so stupid. At the beginning we hear 'Hi... this is Mato' yet the caption picks up 'Hi this is this is silly argument alexander did you spend' What!?....

[@MisterBoneman]

i have tried the QID (at the behest of Roman Dzindzichashvili) but have not seen but the boot bottoms of opponents. but, i keep trying....

[@juancarlosmellado5599]

at the minute 5.34 why wait does not capture knight on d7 instead of playing d5?

[@princerai3759]

Hello sir, instead of c8 if black play pawn b5 then result will be same with a clear passer isn't it? what u say...

[@princerai3759]

Sorry; I forgot to tell u, it's a good game

[@digitalatom6433]

I always play this opening against queens gambit. It's one of the best for black.

[@e2e4au]

Great game... Well explained

[@eltrapo8784]

[@annamaycuenca7190]

[@ولیدماگومدوف]

Hello MATO: this is not a conspiracy story you are relating. You need to speak up. You are whispering!!! Just a feedback!

[@Arisudev]
