[@agadmator]

This brings us to the conclusion of the mini San Remo saga - hope you enjoyed it. If you have any other games you would like me to cover, use that #suggesiton :)

[@Ayush_Singh-0507]

Kasporav saga...

[@arunkrishna972]

There's no Alekhine v Nimzowitsch?

[@MrIAMpeanut]

Alekhine v colle san remo 1930 ???

[@tuankietnguyen1252]

Karpov. He is definitely a great world champion but not recognized enough. He's overshadowed by Kasparov and Fischer

[@DreamloverTrinh]

#suggestion Karpov Saga ❤

[@SamuelPearlman]

Antonio, I've been watching your channel for 5 years now, and your analysis has steadily gone from Good to Excellent to Unmissable! Congratulations, and keep it coming!

[@agadmator]

Thanks, means a lot!

[@Xeasar]

Gledam tvoj kanal vec godinama. Probao sam pre neki dan da gledam najpoznatijeg streamera saha, i bukvalno ne mogu da verujem koja razlika. Toliko vice, prenemaze se, glupira, razumem da to sve privlaci decu, ali mi je jako drago sto postoji neko ko ovako dzentlmenski pokriva ovu igru. Hvala Antonio.

[@theotherjoedimaggio]

What a beautiful game. Sure, Alekhine might be playing "lazy" chess, but its so beautiful in how he sees far enough ahead to recognize that he's winning, and just plays the good moves to ensure he's winning without out-thinking himself. The confidence it takes. Fantastic.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Great game Great photos Alekhine was such a powerful player he seemed to just plow ahead clearing a path to victory he laid waste to the rest of the field Thanks for the Saga Agadmator Fantastic

[@kovy689]

He had very few worthy rivals at his prime. Just too strong.

[@leonardcharlesnew1591]

Amazing to think how many openings were named after these great masters from way back then and still relevant now i.e. ‘nimzo’, ‘rubenstein variation’, ‘colle system’, ‘maroczy bind’ and so on..

[@ramachandra776]

That is Alekhine's third wife , Nadiezda Vasiliev whom he divorced before marrying his fourth and final wife , Grace . It was Alekhine's concern for Grace who was trapped in German occupied France during WW2 which led to his cosying up to Nazi top brass and led him down a very dark path which may have played a probable role in Alekhine's suspicious death .

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Alekhine was passport line to two countries 1930 western Europe and passport officers ask him passport then Alekhine said i do not need passport because i am chess World champion and here is my cat Chess and Alekhine was so drunk! Same story When Russia Giant of Piano Grigory Sokolov was passport line to London and passport officers ask finger prints! Sokolov said no! And now British Critic writers claiming wrongly that Sokolov is not the Giant of Piano! The Titan of Piano! Freedom of to move freely is so great idea! I do love these Russians! Russia their milatary budjet 72 billion dollars! Russia have only 3% of world total military budjet! And western press telling big lies claiming that Putin is the King of weapons and sports! USA have 900 billion dollars military budjet! Russia have only 9 over 40000 spectator sports stadiums! Russia needs Navalny kind of leader who gonna build more defence weapons and sports infra and open new chess schools and build ice rinks buildings to play hockey and figure skate! Lame Putin do not build ice rinks buildings to play hockey and figure skate or open new chess schools!!

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

@@RaineriHakkarainen Yes, by all means, Putin should be replaced because of a chronic shortage of skating rinks. And for no other reason. 🙄

[@dunemeister5718]

Need a girl who treats me as well as Agadmator treats “arguably the best player to never be world champion” the great Akiba Rubinstein

[@marthadunkley6758]

"Everyone won at least one game, it wasn't a sad tournament at all" a fine sentiment for the new year.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Strange... I don't see any co-champions from this event. Or denim.

[@dimitriosdoulgeris4659]

There's probably no bigger insult than being called an Uncle's piece. Poor bishop.

[@UnknownUser-j3n]

Conclusion so soon? 🤐 We were really enjoying the videos from this tournament. Hope you make more videos of classic tournaments. They hold a special appeal.

[@willglaesser1149]

I really like these old tournament coverages

[@yotoober1]

Do vid on AVRO 1938 Paul Keres. Best players never to become WCC. Pick from: Paul Keres Viktor Korchnoi Ian Nepomnictchi Any players who play in multiple WCC matches without ever winning one must be in consideration for that (dis) honor.

[@hothothoth]

The conclusion is that Alekhine was wearing jeans the whole time

[@ensiehsafary7633]

Wrong . At the time people very rarely wore jeans

[@Attlanttizz]

That bellhop looking perfect on this photo and the other ones

[@MaxDavydov-r2k]

@agadmator please cover Bled tournament, incredible performance by Alekhine there as well!

[@BillHimmel]

What a beautiful ending combination - simple, elegant and practical! I was very impressed with what I saw from Alekhine in this tournament. According to Fisher, he was a total bore of a player, but this doesn't hold up to what I have witnessed here!

[@cesareduardo268]

15:11 The movement Qb2 with CHECK!!!

[@davisnafshun4758]

#suggestion keep the alekhine and rubenstein games coming, 1922, 1924 new york

[@BobbyFischer1975]

Incredible classic picture at the end of Nimzowitsch and Grau at the board.

[@johndeever]

I, barely even an Uncle Bishop, enjoyed this mini saga so much.

[@GeraldM_inNC]

We haven't seen Mr. Hoodie Guy in a while.

[@MINERIACIELOABIERTO]

in argentina, we all learned chess from Grau's books when I was young.

[@wonkeeeeee]

I like your humor at 1:50. Made me chuckle.

[@StoshGalumpke]

What a great podcast !

[@YotamPiano]

Really nice game, thanks Agad !

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Well I'll be a bishop's uncle. That was a fine way to wrap things up, Mr Alekhine!

[@leventeszaroz5925]

What a cool photo! Thanks!

[@duibbduhv]

#suggestion Could you cover your favourite games from the fide 1948 world championship tournament? The one where Botvinnik won? I really enjoyed some games from that

[@chriswright3179]

Antonio, economy of effort is a principle we could all adopt. Especially as we might make more mistakes than Alekhine in calculating the beautiful sharp variations.

[@juanjan__]

5:31 "He's Alekhine. He doesn't care" 😂

[@AyoolaLadapo-hg7vs]

Hey Agad, could you cover the Botvinnik vs Capablanca game with the famous Ba3!!! Combination, i know youvv covered it before but its such a beautiful game#suggestion

[@VKarthik-kh7bg]

Nice explanation

[@danielkanewske8473]

What's the next saga?!?

[@jaiminpatel7275]

Hoping for a Mini saga of Sultan Khan

[@yotoober1]

He was an insulting con. Lol

[@joseperez8774]

Good game to finish the San Remo..... The story behind is so valued for us .. thank you.... And good photos ... Back in time people dress better than now.... 😂💪

[@Saint951]

Did they make eye contact back in 1930?

[@qbzone2060]

12:15 you missed Qg1+ Rxg1 Rxg1# for extra style points :) nice vid anyway

[@IrinaPochocki-s5p]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@Skwertydogs]

I noticed in the photos that none of them are wearing denim. All nice suits.

[@hozhuanjin8710]

More Alekhine game! Selesniev - Alekhine, Triberg 1921#suggestion

[@МонкиДиЛуффи]

Wasn't there a game between Stockfish and LeelaChessZero where lc0 played the Grau gambit (or a similar position)? or was it AlphaZero?

[@kaewonf8]

Agad needs to play the Grau Gambit in an upcoming game lol

[@ralph0149]

In the photo who's the kid in the uniform? Seems out of place. It's probably an Italian military uniform but frankly he looks like a bellhop. This was Mussolini's time so who knows.

[@Hothdirt]

#suggestion Adams vs Firouzja from the 2024 London Chess Classic Superblitz

[@wolfyrine]

The bellhop looks like Zero from Grand Budapest Hotel.

[@sid2109]

Is this performance better than Fabi's at Sinquefield 2014 ?

[@TheMarksT]

Alexander the great! We're all still human beings, but he seemed like a 'God' (of chess) anyway!

[@marthadunkley6758]

Wondering if the young chap in the dapper bellboy uniform is only there for orders for drinks etc for the players, or also officiating. Doubt if 'touch piece move' law would need policing, all being 'gentlemen' ie feeling duty-bound by a code of ethics, but am guessing some issues may arise re. draws etc. If not him then who?

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

The Grau Bow of Shame.

[@insoliosolsederat]

I can see from the picture why he was so interested in chess. Lucky us, I guess.

[@solcharms]

"This Uncle Bishop"

[@tamdoduc]

"Alekhine is not on pawn business" for anyone who misheard Agad

[@otteottema6839]

Why does the white queen has to go to A6 ? The queen can take the pawn on A7.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

Even Alekhine's wife was a trophy.

[@beepboop204]

[@msalty2823]

I wonder if Nimzowitsch was an arrogant bore to be around?

Thank you for your attention to detail and quality. Your videos are always impressive.🛬🍺🐇

[@jefftaylor1186]

“You ‘play’ chess. I have a cat named chess. We are not the same” - Alexander Alekhine

[@HbagMbag]

A contemporary of Aleckhine, it may have been Nimzowitsch, carped: Aleckhine wants to walk into history "alone". The point was that any great game is the product of two minds. And I also have some vague notion that Fischer had that complaint from some of his contemporaries??

[@bboyyoung10]

uncle bishop🤣

[@supercool.avinash3]

Wow! 2nd like 😅

[@suyashsaxena133]

Sorry agadmator, These games are nothing compared to Mr. Tal, I don't care whatever the world says tal is the greatest of all time.

[@agadmator]

This is not a selection of Alekhine's best games, I covered the entire tournament. Even Tal had casual game here and there :)

[@Ranjaykumar-gw9xt]

#suggestion Magnus vs Nasuta from title tuesday

[@aviraljain1992]

First

[@vivekvaghela2274]

#suggestion everybody says Bobby Fischer destroyed soviets, which is of course true. But, very few people realize that Vishy Anand also did the same thing. When chess was not at all famous in india, and with very less money vishy destroyed soviets. The chess revolution started in india. Vishy deserves a saga.
