Bogoljubov is the greatest chess name ever.

[@SurenAghabekyan]

from Russian word bog=god and ljubov=love 👌👌

[@ytmndman]

Same for Ljubomir Ljubojević

[@slim_pickins01]

Bogoljubov. Try saying that 5 times fast😄

This game is definitely one of the best games ever.

[@richardfeynman5560]

A wonderful and spectacular game by the great Alexander Alekhine, sacrificing three queens only to end up in a won pawn end game! Awesome, I've never seen something like that before!

[@SurenAghabekyan]

this is truly a wonderful and spectacular game, agree...

[@eduardovasquez2689]

suren your english is seriously getting better! i've been watching your videos for like a year now and its very noticeable now. keep up the good work my dude

[@jasonz9902]

Yes I agree one on the most beautiful games ever!!!

[@Benderrr111]

Bogolubov was a worthy opponent in this game even though he lost

[@SurenAghabekyan]

a friend of mine who is a GM, recently said that only at the age of 24 he discovered that Bogolyubov was a fantastic player

[@Benderrr111]

It's really strange how some talents (not just chess players but also scientists or artists) just don't get the fame/recognition they deserve...

[@xXjuanpablo1403Xx]

Suren is getting rather sophisticated with his wording 😏

[@TejaswaPratap]

I noticed that and when I was listening, I was laughing very very very hard. Hahaa

[@vuknovkovic715]

A 10-minute-long video, of course Suren, I especially liked that we were doing this game on our training of chess, although unfortunately we didn't finish it, thanks Suren and I wish you "Good luck..."

[@SurenAghabekyan]

thanks a lot, good luck Vuk ;)

[@hvitekristesdod]

Alekhine is my all time fave and this game is completely unforgettable

[@saturdaycity]

Great game and a very good coverage, thanks! PS a small tip if I may: at the end of the video, you could have added screenshots / pictures of the three key positions - in this case the three queen sacrifices, like some kind of a summary. You do that sometimes even - "let's see this position again" - at the end of the video; these endings / summaries complete videos nicely in some cases.

[@richardsleep2045]

Great stuff, thanks.

[@Philiopantheon82]

I love your style of explaining chess games, i can feel your passion for the game

[@SurenAghabekyan]

glad to hear that, cheers ;)

[@Leonidas-cl8pw]

Alekhine is one of the top 5 players of all time

[@SurenAghabekyan]

He is... a great World Chess Champion...

[@manosmanjoy9885]

He shouldn't resign maybe he would sacrifice another queen😁

[@user-lz9hp6zm9i]

Manos manjoy the icing on the cake would be to checkmate him with bishop and knight

Hi sir . I'm one of your subscriber for last 1 year . I'm a intermediate player . I have a game. Sax Gyula vs Farago Ivan in 1973 HUN-ch Hungary . If you explain the game , I will be very thankful 😇😇 . & Another request to you , please show how to beat French defense .

[@tedyplay4745]

Hello CHess with Suren. I really hope you read this. I remember watching a video of yours around 4 years ago and I can't find it anymore, but I remember you saying something very specific in a video. It was a chess game with Bobby Fischer I believe and you said that he made a move that the chess engine couldn't predict or recommend as the next one. I think the engine you had used was Houdini. It would help me alot if you could tell me which video it was... please.

[@SurenAghabekyan]

Hello and thanks for the comment!! Maybe it was Fischer's game against Petrosian, when he played Nd7?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6PEh6yEm5mJo7M

[@frozenb10]

Very entertaining

[@vcvartak7111]

Queen sacrifice in this game was lengthy way of winning

[@user-gq2jy4nh9f]

Brilliance or sheer luck that he have an open pawn?

Hello suren, i can't understand what kind of fortress white can form. Please explain 😊.

[@dr._dash]

In this video you were speaking such complicated English I was pausing and finding meaning of some words😂 @Suren

[@avinashnayak7398]

In fact, the bishop has been buried by the white's own rook on g2😂

[@kardosevi]

Hi guys, I can’t see some moves, Is it because of my eyesight or the graphics are poor??!!

[@SurenAghabekyan]

I then started moving the pieces manually for a better visibility... For example feel free to check out this masterpiece by Bogoljubov... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXLHhIqeidGdeM0

[@tomthecat268]

Super strong

[@avinashnayak7398]

Bogoljubov's light squared bishop must have been extremely irritated on the rook and Bogljubov himself, to the extent that Bogoljubov would have to give the most activity to that piece in the upcoming games. But, truly, white's position on move 24 is hopeless. White must have been lured away to dubiousness by black's tactical play😂

[@SurenAghabekyan]

hope that you enjoyed this great game ;)

[@josephoyek6574]

How is that last queen a sacrifice? The pawn took the Knight to gain 2 pts. in material

[@happyvalley8871]

5:19 .......man, If Knight g6 that pawn can't promote to a Queen be cause the knight on g6 and after look at the rook who will capture the pawn before he promote.....is a simple move, you didn't see it? ;)

[@edp7476]

I guess you meant Nb3 not Ng6. But Nb3 does not stop the pawn from promoting. The pawn simply promotes by capturing the other Knight on D1 (cxd1=Q+).

[@mayurchavan8700]

You just please tell how the game was played. Don't comment in between on what will happen if it's was played this way or the other way

[@kavyanshagrawal5279]

The first time Alekhine didn't gave up his queen he exchanged queen for queen but he sacrificed a rook first time

[@don476]

If this is supposed to be the greatest game ever played, why does the narrator keep interrupting it? Let's focus on the game and not all the moves the guys SHOULD have made. If the game has that many errors, it cannot possibly be the best ever played.
