I have much respect for someone like Vidmar when he does so well even though he has many careers going and isn't focussed on just chess. It means, among other things, that he is curious and thirsty for knowledge without being so vain to tryhard until he becomes the best in one of his professions.
The goat of video titles. This video adds another to the book of masterpiece agadmator titles containing "Now you're just some Fabi that I used to know", "Awaken from my slumber" and much more.
@6:15 "makes Alekhine one of the greatest COUNTER-attackers of all time" The guy was so good at waiting for you to punch, and then ducking and punching back harder. I love looking through Alekhine's games and finding times where his opponent thought they were safe to attack only for Alekhine to turn the table and prove he can out-attack you.
That shows why he died as a champ. He is a master of mystic art, and also positional grinder at once.This guy had no visible weakness.He is Alexander the great!
Crazy how one inaccuracy like Bc1 can turn a game around . Great game love watching games of yesteryears Alekhine such an accurate player thanks for the video Agadmator enjoy your day 😊♟️‼️
What a way to kick off the year! Happy New Year, Antonio and to your family. Ik for a fact that you will continue to entertain us even more this year and the channel will grow manyfolds. Best wishes xx
man I was just wishing for Agadmator video on earlier chess champions considering the world rapid and blitz championships ended yesterday . And Agadmator uploads a video on Alekhine . 😀
I spent my childhood mispronouncing his name 'Alec-hine' not 'Ayekheen', having only seen it written in chess journals and books, and also pronouncing 'Pirc' as 'perk' not 'prch'. Agad is a fount of knowledge on this as on so many things chess.
#suggestion It would be cool if you could cover games from AVRO 1938 which was basically the strongest tournament at the time. Also Keres who won the tournament earned the right to challenge Alekhine for the title, but WW2 ruined everything
It’s a proud moment for me to see my name featured in the video! Sharing the same name as a grandmaster like Milan Vidmar fills me with joy and pride. Truly inspiring!
Milan Vidmar wrote one of the best chess books of all times - Golden times of chess (Goldene Schachzeiten in German). He gives an impression descriptions of the chess live in the beginning of the 20th centuary.
I GOT A FEELING ANTONIO MENTIONED UPSET BY VIDMAR BEFORE IN THE CAPABLANCA SERIES, WHERE THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT ONLY FAILED TO DEFEAT VIDMAR. BUT CAN'T REMEMBER IF THE WINNER WAS ALEKHIN OR CAPABLANCA.
I am requesting you to please make videos on women chess game too, it will encourage young female talent from all around the world towards chess...thank you and happy new year
look forward to your breakdown of the Ivanchuk breakdown/meltdown after the Danya Disaster...absolute legendary Chukky finish and epic respect from his opponent
Usually in all the classic or legendary games analysis, they mostly have the bigger better player playing white. A win is a win ofcourse but it sort of creates a skewed pic of their relative ability or disability. Making the other player look more inferior than perhaps they actually were. Good to see a game where the legend is playing with the black pieces.
Was a great time in the 1930,s,all these chess geniuses brought together for decryption of the enigma code, in history of chess great saviours of people.❤
Kasparov and Carlsen also make poor comments on Fischer. This is sort of a rivalry; saying "I'm better than the previous hero". You better not take such comments seriously. Alekhin was one of the most creative players ever lived. A true master.
I can't imagine how mad Mr. Milan mist have been with himself after losing the game and understanding that there was a way to hold. It doesn't even seem an impossible move to find for a player of his caliber. He must have been in time trouble. Nonetheless must have been gutted considering the overall score he had with Alekhine as well.
Love the title Agad😂❤. I'm still mad about Magnus and Nepo sharing the blitz title yesterday, such a disgrace. But you never disappoint so thank you for that and happy new years. ❤🎉
I really appreciate your efforts! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
After Kg3 and Kf8 white to move Stockfish has black just slightly better with much less than half a pawn advantage so maybe with best play white can hold.
#suggestion I am not chess player, so I cant tell if this game is worth showing or mentioning on your channel, but the King walk maneuver in Queen and pawns endgame was something rare and hard to describe. It even ended in something like checkmate with king or rather selfcheckmate with opponents king. i think it was cool and a great example of the importance and power of a King.

There is a little error. You said Alekhine died two years before the grand master title was created in 1950. But Alekhine died in 1946 in Portugal. So it died 4 years before not 2.
@@sundarpaari ok - of course!! I was still picturing that the light-square was still protecting that square. (but if white takes on f7 - then the bishop is no longer there )
At 5:12 and c3, why can I not play Qh4+, which would at least get me the exchange and the white King can no longer castle? The worst line that I can see for Black is g3, Nxg3, Pxg3, QxR and White's queen on h1 is unclear but not in immediate danger. You have gained 1 pawn and a rock for a knight. White has a very strong attack on the Queen's side but there is also great danger for White to lose even more material on the King's side.
Well done Agadmator on the Twitter comments. There's a certain irony that Magnus has caused so much drama re demanding shorter time controls for the World Championship and then threw his toys out of the pram when he couldn't get them. Fast forward a few years and now he's too tired to go past a few three minute blitz games to actually win a title! The guy may be one of the best but he's turned himself into a joke as far as I'm concerned. Please don't give him any further oxygen by ignoring these Fischer random events.
Alekhine gave the chance to the players such as bogoljubow and euwe that were not nearly as stronger as alekhine was or capablanca and as a world champion he should have played capablanca because he was much stronger than other players and it would be a much more interesting match if it would have happened not sure who would have won but still.
How about somebody sends Magnus and Ian tie dye ties (non-GMO if cotton, of course)? Perhaps they'll even sheepishly pose for pics in them; and we wish them better luck next time.
People seem to forget about the important question....did alekhine wear jeans or not??.... surely best players wear jeans ...if not alekhine is a questionable world champion..
Are you sure capturing the knight on g7 with the rook is a win? White will have 3 advanced connected pawns while black has a rook and a solitary pawn. Also blacks king is totally out far away. I mean i would like to see that deeply before reaching the conclusion that its lost.
I’m glad agad isn’t afraid to speak his mind!
What’s there to afraid of? It’s just FIDE not Putin!!!
Agadmator with absolutely based title!😂😂
Based & Alekhine pilled

Agadmator truly loves chess 😂

That shows why he died as a champ. He is a master of mystic art, and also positional grinder at once.This guy had no visible weakness.He is Alexander the great!

As if I weren't already feeling inadequate, and then Dr. Milan Vidmar comes along.
To hold Alekhine like that is a triumph.
That mustache though. It seems Mr Milan Vidmar was following the fashion of his time.
This comment needs more recognition 😂
My kind of game, two of the guys I learned chess from back in my youth some 60 years ago now.
man I was just wishing for Agadmator video on earlier chess champions considering the world rapid and blitz championships ended yesterday . And Agadmator uploads a video on Alekhine . 😀
My all-time favorite player
I clicked just to hear Agad say "Alekhine"
I never heard of most of these players before this channel. So I’ve learned to pronounce their names with Antonio’s accent. I’m from Tennessee. 😂
I spent my childhood mispronouncing his name 'Alec-hine' not 'Ayekheen', having only seen it written in chess journals and books, and also pronouncing 'Pirc' as 'perk' not 'prch'. Agad is a fount of knowledge on this as on so many things chess.

Welcome to 2025 - A year when we have 4 different people as World Champions in Chess.

Alekhine played in this tournament like a true World Champion. Above and ahead of everybody else.

This is so different from how Fischer described Alekhine's games!

I am completely in favor of having multiple world champions, in fact why stop at 2

The question that keeps me up at night is in which year Agadmator switches from “This position has never been reached again” to “Completely new game”
We really need Alekhine Saga!

Hello Agad may you please showcase Fischer vs Osvaldo Bazan 1960 Mar del Plata? This match was absolute madness, do check it out kindly please :D
16:25 uncle might win it but I can still lose😂
This Based Title is poking on Splitz Championship.
Alekhine crushed young Hitler and the World was never the same.

I was hoping to get a second look at the most infamous Alekhine gun. But as it turned out, he didn't need it.
I think agad misses a fun line after 6:04 c5.
There is Bxc5 Qxc5 Bxf7 Rxf7 Qxc5 and Nd3 with a disgusting fork.
Alekhine saga confirmed?
There is a little error. You said Alekhine died two years before the grand master title was created in 1950. But Alekhine died in 1946 in Portugal. So it died 4 years before not 2.
After black plays c5 - can't white just capture Bxc5? Plack can't take the bishop because of Bxf7+ - winning the queen.
Bxf7+ yes
Queen is protected there by Knight on e4
No. In the end there is Nd3 fork.

Antonio wasn't Alekhine also a doctor of Law? Didn't the term Grandmaster originate at the 1914 St Petersburg title by the Tsar?
Yes, but he never practiced law. And official Fide GM title was coined in 1950
