Great originality, mate. Not always having to go for attacking games and showing- in this case- that Alekhine wasn’t the best at a point because he was a one dimensional player, but rather that he could also play very good strategic games like this, too. ☝️👌🏻 And I like the little electric line that the pieces have when they move. It’s cool. 😎 Thanks for the Best of the 1920s
Small question: At 9:43, why is it taken for granted that black must avoid an exchange of rooks? Why not rc8 to challenge the doubled rooks and attempt trade them off? Black is still somewhat worse with the more active king and the knight, but wouldn’t it be a significant improvement over an invasion on the 7th rank?
@@thekurdishtapes8317 yup, a little bit. What surprised me I think are the comments made by the players of this game. I didn't expect such an analysis. Of course I'm far from being an expert of chess history, and I don't know much about players of that time like Alekhine, Nimzowitsch of Capablanca. I know them only by name
Reti 25' is one of the deepest combination in chess history. My choice for his 20's...This game f5? I wouldn't even consider it. Yates was a patzer when the boys were in town
Keep up the good work. Reviewing matches like these gives a lot of insight.
Wow! This is a really deep cut! (It Is in Chernev's The Most Instructive Games of Chess ever played)
That book might be the best I've ever looked at ngl
For the first time, I can see one "quiet" Alekhine in one game.
What a beautiful game!
Awesome video lesson, as usual. Thank you Sam!
BTW, you missed an edit at 6:27 :)
😂😂
Alekhine my chess hero!
Wonderful! Thanks Sam.

Amazing!! Thank you!!
Love your informative videos, sam!
So I understand there were tactics preventing black from challenging the C file when the King was on g8. But what about later when K was on h7?

I didn't know they had such an understanding of the game in the 20s. I imagined 20s players similar to 1800s players
every seen a game from the match Labourdonnais vs. McDonell? Or does Andersen vs. Morphy ring a bell?

11:33 It is an error. Checkmate in three, according to stockfish, aswell..

Can Yates do en passant to avoid pawns being locked in?
nice !!
Best of 1910s is coming guys.❤️❤️
👌🏻👌🏻☝️
Self annotated games are the best!
Chess content is awesome, thumbnails need to be more catchy.
Good one! Thank you.
I find the lightening on the board after each move, cheesy.
