That was a profound anecdote, Mato. It hits close to home for me because just a couple years later in 1914 my grandfather decided to quit smoking, he was 9 months old. Also later that year, on his first birthday, he was drafted into the war. He fought nobly; tooth and cradle. Thank you Mato for making me remember the courage of my infant grandfather, you are truly a legend.
Alekhine was only 19 years old, born in November 1892. When at his best, Alekhine combined the tactical brilliance of Blackburne with the sound opening play of Lasker. Alekhine loved combinations but when he reached his peak in the late 1920s and early 1930s he was also a superior strategist with a knowledge of opening theory.
Mato! I am less than half a beginner in chess. But your videos to me are like an extremely interesting thriller spy novel that I can never get enough of. I cannot find words to define or describe your presentation. It JUST IS! God Bless You! Keep up the good work :-)
So far, I have seen only Paul Morphy sacrificing his Queen like this. Great game, but as soon the Queen was taken, it was obvious the opponent is about to be doomed.
Potemkin should be spelled Potyomkin in order to pronounce his name correctly. Alekhine's full name is Alexander Alexandrovich Alekhine, with his family name written in a French manner once he got his French citizenship in 1927.
You're right about Potyomkin. Most people here in UK pronounce Alekhine, Ale-kine. Alekhine pronounced it Alyekhin. Every other Russian pronounces it Alyokhin.
+Mike Marsh I am a very very unskilled player, I rarely calculate more than a move or two ahead, and so forth but i dont think I would have moved the king to the third rank despite trapping the rook because it seems like an inherently unsafe place to be I am not claiming that I would have identified the checkmate threats, but i think I would have avoided such moves with the king by habit or instinct
i get your point, it will end with an eventual advantage for the attacking side tho obviously in this case, that didnt work out particularly well if i was playing against alekhine i would be more concerned with defense tho lol

your grandfather was actually Paul Keres. congratulations
Can you find the winning move in that statement?
Yet another great Alekhine game. Thanks Mato, I like and understand chess a whole lot more because of your commentaries.

One of the most brilliant chess combination seen.. Only Alekhine could do such .
change this videos name to Dark knight rises pls :D
My favourite checkmates end with a family fork, and this was one of those. Great game, with a great ending!
extraordinary talent show by alekhine...a master of epic proportions
I did see it but I'd never see it if I didn't know there was a killer move.
+Toxic Dota Same
+Toxic Dota Killah* :D haahahah
Thank you Mato. It´s good to choose games from players not spoiled by the computer era.
+MTlelek What is the problem of being spoiled with the computer era? (its a legit question btw)
With computers on it´s not about the good old pure human creativty anymore.
Impossible to see! he is really a genius!
Was there ever anyone like Alekhine?! Thanks, Mato.
What a move by Alekhine brilliant combination of the knights
What an electric beginning ..
of Mato's commentary XD
The Great Mato has done it again!
Thank you Master😊
As always, great instructional video
So far, I have seen only Paul Morphy sacrificing his Queen like this. Great game, but as soon the Queen was taken, it was obvious the opponent is about to be doomed.
Such great knights indeed in this one, white really needed to castle when he had the chance.
I like Mayo's presentation very much.
Year 1912 was very important for me. My grandfather was born. He never smoked neither played chess.
One of the most beautiful Queen sacrifice ever !
haha. you got me with the knight to f2 move. I was like "what? no!! the bishop! ... oh.. "
Mato thx :) i am watching (AWESOME!!!)
awesome..
it was a great game
Brilliant win.
Mato should be casted as the voice actor for Batman in all upcoming movies.
This is game from book Art of the Attack in Chess by Vladimir Vukovic :)
Waw
I wish i could think like these people
Damnnnn it's like a Boden mate but with knights. Amazing!
mato...it would be interesting to see two brilliant minds fighting...keres vs alekhine
unbelievable game
ur analysis is toooooo gud
brilliant
Brilliant Game
Mato imas odlican smisao za humor.
Great game!
I saw that when I paused. Mainly because I was thinking about A move. Meaning I probably was not going to be saving either the queen the knight.
Mato, I have received wonderful pleasure and instruction from your chess videos! Thank you so much sir. Do you live near a chess club? Just curious
How far from a chess club can you live ?
And That ... is a MONSTA KNIGHT !!!!!!!
Wonderful tactic
Damm!
Congratulations!
What a killa combo.
👍👍
Must say though I did not see the queen sacrifice. I just saw a way to open up his pawns.
Hello,Mato.If you have a video that you introduced yourself could you please give me it's link?Or If you dont have,could you make a video like that?

+Joey Panther Fan It damages The pawn structure

A total golpe de gracia!
Nyc game
Peter Petrovich Potemkin... será ruso?
matooooo
A real king Hunt.
please respond mato ur the best
This mate in 3 wasnt hard to calculate.. what was potemkin thinking? Accepting a queen sac!!
to be honest with you mato. i saw that queen aacrifice. but i haven't watched this game before.
You have epic voice
And... Knight! to..... (teases with F4)... F2!! Mato at his best! :-D
I don't know how but I knew he is gonna say that his grandfather quit smoking in 1912 at age 4...looking forward to what his grandpa did in 1914
+Dazzwidd hahahahah ...no one knows except his grandpa and mato...
mato are u a grandmaster pls respond

Who else here wishes makes a day were he plays multiple ppl online ofc it's his desicion but would be cool
in reference to mato
he would never do it. he has a problem with his eyes that he can't see monitor too long
Can someone educate me?
Why did the king not retreat to the first rank at 3:11 ?

Mazda knight ;)
never find killa moves of alekin :(
the jokes are suuu guuud x,D
Mato, why have I not improved my chess skills? I am about at the same level that I was 6 months ago, bellow 1000 rating I suppose.
Mohsin Teimourie why? So that you humiliate me?
No I just wanted to evaluate. Did you wanted help or no?
Mohsin Teimourie low
Mohsin Teimourie which is your level though?
Peaked 1700
alekhine tore down the Potemkin village!!
I want Keres. :)
I think there is a better way to win, without queen sacrifice: bishop d5 check
why is black "winning" at 2:30?
+Cengiz Taner Black is a knight up. If white captures the knight on d8 then...Nxh5
he is winning because after K(or R)xN, NxB on a5 and black is up by a piece.
3:10 15... Nd3 16.Ke3. Is this not a better move? Black is still winning.
if ke3 then qf4 and checkmate
+Gamer no my bad ...didn't see the Knight
