What I learned, or rather re-learned is that Alekhine was on the ball from move one in every game. He was there to win, and the slightest mistake or weakness from any opponent was punished without ceremony. What a brain! The greatest genius who ever sat at a chessboard!!
Hi mato, I think you need to have a 100.000 subscribers. You are deserving 100.000 subscribers more than most of the youtubers who has more subscribers than you.
I think you need to know what you are doing before you start opening up the pawns around your King. Alekhine knew exactly what he was doing. Amazing game!
Screw around with Alekhine and wait for him to make a mistake and his hands will be around your throat. That cannot be a good strategy against an Alekhine.
This is the way that I play chess -- strip away the defenders around the opposing king (even if doing that requires a sacrifice) and then launch a mating attack.
Right, I do at most one waiting move. If the position that I'm imagining does not appear immediately, I abort. I'm not an expert, but I am the big chess champion on the graveyard shift at work! Speaking of which, I know I've shared this story before but I actually credit my improvement 100% with Mato's videos. At work, we're a group of patzers (a term I know Mato does not like) and we play merely for fun. However, just from watching Mato's videos, I've gotten to the point where no one can beat me at work and the other guys generally don't like to play me anymore.
Michael lol yaah I can understand that, its same thing with my friends at a middle eastern cafe we play at. Mato and Kingcrusher have helped me reach a 1700 fide rating now in the past two years.
Großartig , danke Sir Mato. Gruß, Adrian aus Nord Deutschland.

A beautiful game, thank you Mato! :)

Wow... What a game
Thank you for the video

Thanks Mato...

I learned that Strategic waiting moves doesn't always work.. Especially against a Tactical player like Alexander Alekhine.
Was that the same variation he played before? Not quite. It was just the Saem-isch.
Thanks for showing this one.
Re some comments below. Personally I can't get too much Alekhine. He was the greatest ever!!
I love your videos I´ve learned a lot of useful things but I would like to see more games of the magician from riga
mato thanks for all shares but alekhine is enough i wanna see Tal matches from u. thanks again
beautiful game
What did I learn? Answer- It is not always good to think that I can defeat Alekhine. ☺
Screw around with Alekhine and wait for him to make a mistake and his hands will be around your throat. That cannot be a good strategy against an Alekhine.

How many Alekhine games are there? Please, make more modern time games.Samkir chess tournament, Paris Grand Chess tournament
bravo!!
gotta love Alekhine games
2:17 c5 should be played. when pawn storm comes without a "dead" center. then you hit the center!
im getting better and better in guessing the right moves :)
Whilst black was waiting, white was suffocating...
nice attack
Mato, What's the difference between "Queen's gambit accepted" & "Queen's gambit declined". U used this many times for many other gambit also.
The difference is in the accepting
dxc4 accepts but allows white to play e3 opening the bishop/gaining centre control.. i think.. i'm not a great player but i believe that's the idea
To accept a gambit means to capture the offered pawn. Declining is the opposite.
In chess, offense is the Best defence... Of course, not always....But most of the times...
I know mato's rating is on the FAQ, but is it his peak rating, or has he been higher?
Mato's rating was 10 times that once, but it was when his mother was in charge of the ratings.
2:11 and people from Croatia also ;)
please mato make videos of other people. You have kept majing games of alekhine for ages :(
Too many waiting moves and it was not the right time to do waiting moves with all those pieces on the board
Right, I do at most one waiting move. If the position that I'm imagining does not appear immediately, I abort. I'm not an expert, but I am the big chess champion on the graveyard shift at work!
