The Greatest Knight Strategy in Chess: Alekhine's Magic
Welcome to the examination of knight power in chess. Knights achieve maximum effectiveness when positioned on squares where they cannot be attacked by enemy forces, especially by pawns. If you manage to place both of your knights on these squares, you can completely dominate your opponent and carry out a devastating attack. The following game by Alexander Alekhine illustrates all this at its best.

    The analysis destroyed a good game. The analysis is an annoying distraction. The people who watch chess games knows all these moves. No need to tell them. It makes it confusing because it is difficult to tell which moves belong to the players. 👎👎👎👎👎

    when the bishop captures the knight on g3, why does not white capture the bishop with the pawn on f2? it leaves the pawn on h2 available to kick the kinght out later, and it even opens the rook to prevent queen f5

    • @chesswisdom
      @chesswisdom 5 часов назад

      Yes, fxg3 was better; the computer gives only a slight advantage to Black after that. I think White wasn't aware of the Ng4 threat and played hxg3, as capturing towards the center is more common.

    Thank you for showing us this game. Boleslavsky played very well, but I have a hard time considering it a candidate for the greatest game ever given that White's play was so poor. If you looked at the game without knowing the names, you'd never guess that White was a GM-level player and that the game was played in the USSR Championship.
