What a great game by Alekhine!! I had learnt earlier that your attack will be successful or not successful depending upon the material of pieces you have in the an attack. For example- If your Queen, Knight, Rook and Bishop is attacking, whilst your opponent only has one knight and the three pawns defending the king, you have better chances of winning. Just avoid counter play from your opponent! Hope this is helpful! I also wanted to show a line from the Italian Game, where you can spice things up from Black's side. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. d3 Bc5 5. Nc3 d6 6. h3? h6 7. 0-0 g5 8. Be3 (for example) g4. Black has a crushing attack. Please analyze the variation before using it.
I agree, Nelson, been watching you for a while and just sub’d today because Waddali is right. This is an awesome series and your content is complex enough to be interesting but delivered in a digestible way.
1.Qc4+... Pd5 2.Nxd5... Pxg5 3.Rxe7+... Kf8 4.Nf4... Qxe7 5.Nxg6 +... Q is lost. What amazes me is the persistance to go all the way to find these moves. Specially if you have to lose a lot of time to find these moves. Great stuff!
Hey nelson ! You are really the best chess teacher i've ever seen , you are really change my perspective about how to play chess , I have gained so much chess knowledge from you , and also i can't wait for 15th july breaking 1500 🎉❤
I have to agree, you teach the best in social media, others make videos on tactical puzzles, some openings, some endgames like Gauri Chess(he's actually my second favourite chess creator in terms of my benefit), you explain an entire game and give us tips.
Not sure if you worry too much about this, but "Alekhine" should be pronounced as "Alyo-khin". It may be French spelling of a russian name that migrated into English.
29:25 So here's an important question I'm wondering about, how do you decide whether to play a building move like Re1 first or pull the trigger and do something eg. Qh3? This is assuming we're not able to evaluate all those subtle differences in tactics from the complex explanation. For many of us at the lower levels, it would be a tall order to see and properly eval all that in a game. Because in the Alekhine game we saw him not really playing any building moves, eg. the a1 rook and b1 knight wasn't even playing throughout that whole game. Yet he was able to keep the initiative and make the attack work out with just the forces he's already developed.
yo dude i love your videos, you make me think a lot more differently when i play chess. do you think you can try the halloween gambit? thanks for all these videos 🙌
15:00 Could white also play Nxh6? It also threatens mate with Nf6 and Bh6. Apart from that white would also win a pawn and even if black finds a way to stop the checkmate, white also threatens to play Nf6 check and win the rook in the corner. And if black decides to take the night, white trades a night for a rook and a pawn, there is still the pin on the e file and blacks position is a total mess. Am I missing something?
Hey Nelson, I really love this series. It would be interesting to see the performance ratings and material advantages in those games! Maybe even the Elo, the accuracy and time advantage if there is. Thank you!
Interesting how playing Re8+ would have lead to Be2 which unblocks the pawn on d2. So the defense would have been a move white wanted to play anyway. By attacking with the knight black doesn't force white to make a good move, but causes new problems.
I don’t learn much from watching games at this level. At every pause, I try to find the best move, and I never find the move that was made. So, it kind of amounts to, just make a series of moves that you can’t see or find, and you’ll totally whoop butt. Interesting, but I learn so much more from the ratings climb video series.
It was like that for me too, but I've watched all the videos and then I've watch them all again, so every day I have a coffee break I sit and I watch one of this videos. I try to analyse and remember, I pick the moves sometimes, some others not, but overall I've managed to increase my rating to 1300 from 600 just focusing on this. 2 games a day, analyse them, no more, no less and one of this videos. It also gives me ideas of what to study, I've learned the collie system and alot how to spot weaknesses on my opponent structures. Good luck with your chess
Don’t want to gatecrash with a kind of an irrelevant comment, but how you pronounce Aliokhin’s last name really hurts. It actually pronounces as “a-‘lio-khin” (with an emphasis on the second syllable) because it’s a Russian name, «Алёхин». At the time he was a world champion, all Russian names were transliterated in a French manner.
Nelson is a good teacher but this video is all wrong. This game is actually misleading for students. White violates the principles that all sub-2000 players need to follow in many places. If you put the game into an engine, you will see that many of White's moves were not so good and could have been punished by a better defense. It is true that White found brilliant ideas but his violation of basic principles was still fundamentally unsound. We shouldn't learn the wrong lessons from this. Put it into an engine and see for yourself! The book is old/obsolete and it's author didn't fully understand the game because he didn't have the benefit of engine analysis. Modern instructors have to use an engine analysis as back-up. Nelson sadly repeats the book's mistakes uncritically and endorses bad moves that engine analysis clearly refutes. I repeat, I'm usually a fan of Nelson, but this video is actually a disservice to students because it will confuse them. It shows White winning by using brilliant tactical finds but violating the principles that all sub-2000 players need to follow. White only wins because the opponent was not master strength and didn't know how to punish unprincipled moves. We shouldn't take the incorrect lessons from a game out of a very old/obsolete book and Nelson shouldn't be repeating those incorrect lessons uncritically. Sorry to be so harsh. In general I like this series.
Who wants to learn from a Charlie Z? the Chess Vibes dude Nelson is just another Charlie Z (charlie zelenoff) of chess. Unfortunately the game has many Charlie Zs. Fake teachers, fake players, etc. Nelson is one of them. I feel bad for anyone who listens to him
This is an old problem based on the transliteration of the Russian letter "X," which is often turned into "KH" in English. So people often say "Alek-hine." But the "kh" is one letter not two. German transliteration from Cyrillic letters is "Aljechin," which sounds like "Al-yech-een" which probably is closer to the Russian but still not quite there.
It is indeed "Ah - le -hin" in French, but not in English. Edit: After a quick research, i found out that Alekhine himself pronounced it as "Ali - ye - khyne". Just pronounce it in your own language, or be my guest and learn all the basics Chinese pronunciation before trying to say Ding liren or my name
I believe the case here is that Alekhine lived in France after the Russian revolution and it’s a French spelling. Russian spelling of the name is not without controversy too, because of the omittance of “ё” in favour of “е” in typography . Many Russians know him as «Алёхин» just because it’s a more natural pronunciation of “Алехин»
Stuck at 1000? That can change on July 15th! chessvibes.net/waitlist/

Please analyze the variation before using it.
one of best chess teachers
I agree, Nelson, been watching you for a while and just sub’d today because Waddali is right.
This is an awesome series and your content is complex enough to be interesting but delivered in a digestible way.
1.Qc4+... Pd5
2.Nxd5... Pxg5
3.Rxe7+... Kf8
4.Nf4... Qxe7
5.Nxg6 +... Q is lost.
What amazes me is the persistance to go all the way to find these moves. Specially if you have to lose a lot of time to find these moves.
Great stuff!
Hey nelson ! You are really the best chess teacher i've ever seen , you are really change my perspective about how to play chess , I have gained so much chess knowledge from you , and also i can't wait for 15th july breaking 1500 🎉❤
Happy to hear that!
Great series Nelson! Your comments really add to going through the book.
Another excellent video - can't wait for " breaking 1500 " , think it's going to help a lot & fill in many many gaps 😊
love this book . Logical chess moves . Thanks Nelson , learning a lot from it , best buy for the money

Genius in work! What a powerful game
In 8:13 could black play h6 to kick the white knight out and white lost time.
29:25 So here's an important question I'm wondering about, how do you decide whether to play a building move like Re1 first or pull the trigger and do something eg. Qh3? This is assuming we're not able to evaluate all those subtle differences in tactics from the complex explanation.

Apart from that white would also win a pawn and even if black finds a way to stop the checkmate, white also threatens to play Nf6 check and win the rook in the corner. And if black decides to take the night, white trades a night for a rook and a pawn, there is still the pin on the e file and blacks position is a total mess. Am I missing something?
At 12:35, after PxR and QxfP with black Q threatening back row mate in 1, the best white strategy is a perpetual mate draw.
At 11:20, you state that Poindle can't castle because of Qh7 mate. BUT... if Alekhine misses the mate, Poindle is left with a ripping good game.
I love this game by Alekhine. I've played over it many times. He was a master at the initiative & attack. Kasparov loved Alekhines game.
Another great video! Question: What about Nxh7 at 15:15 with the same idea of smothered mate if Bxh6?
9:03
The queen fork is great, but you can get a forced checkmate instead, try to spot it
Great Content! Thank you.
Hey in 12:30 if Ne5, Re1 there is Ng6 no? Also even if black plays d6, after Rxd6 there is g6 attacking the queen and you take the rook.
Also, at 12:36 Black king can awkwardly escape to d7.
If d6 Rxe5 g6, then White can take the e7 knight with check (3+3 for 5) and will have good chances in the endgame
Hey Nelson, I really love this series. It would be interesting to see the performance ratings and material advantages in those games! Maybe even the Elo, the accuracy and time advantage if there is. Thank you!
Great video as always
7:48 The key word in the title of the video is "logical" ... If you can justify something, you can do it.
As old sun tzu said, a threat is just a treat in disguise.
What should have black played instead of Bxd6? 25:45
12:31 what’s the problem with knight g6 block the checkmate threat and protecting the bishop?
Wow, I wish I had the chess vision to see some of those amazing moves!
I love this book, this series, and your channel. Can you do something similar from 'reassess your chess' by Jeremy Silman?
16:01 is Nxh7 do the same thing and win a pon and exchange
8:00 h6 or f6 by Black?😏
19:00 I considered the rook sacrifice but couldn't see an immediate follow-up to Kxe7. How would that line go?
I guess Nd5+, which is a double check and wins the queen next move...
5:13 can't white also play c4 to trap the knight?
What about h6 or f6 at 8:00?😏
Are you going to cover Logical Chess game 10 (Tarrasch-Eckard) on this channel?
ALL these moves in the video were kinda crazy, i think that's why i'm a 1300 and they are GM, it is just hardly find...
When does his videos usually come out? I want to catch some live but can't
Interesting how playing Re8+ would have lead to Be2 which unblocks the pawn on d2. So the defense would have been a move white wanted to play anyway. By attacking with the knight black doesn't force white to make a good move, but causes new problems.
Man! I struggle with finding that extra tactic and keeping it alive. Sometimes I feel that I have to defend directly than indirectly.
8:00 Black can play f6 or h6.😏
"if you take with the knight, you loose your queen. And if you take with the queen.. You loose your queen anyways" lol
How much will be the course for?
11:37 Can't black play pawn d6, to save their queen?
The black knight will be taken. But the queen will be safe
@@ohadcohen5950 Yea That I was thinking. It will be better to lose the knight than losing the queen
What about Black playing f6 or h6 at 8:00 ?😏
15:22
Can somebody explain why Nh7 doesn’t work?
Yes, I can explain. 😌 After Nxh7 Bxh6 Nf6+ Kf8 Bxh6+ there is Rxh6, as we captured the h7 pawn and opened the rook file. Hope this makes sense.
Oh I was thinking about Nxh7 with similar idea of Ne4 ... Probably they would just give up the rook ...
Thankyou sir❤

Good luck with your chess
Chess will always be my favorite game, even though my ELO rating is only 900.
Why can't you block the discovered check with the white bishop?
He possibly played Qd6 to also prevent Re8
I hope there will be breaking 2000 one day
Did anyone see this yet
No
No
No
My man😊
Pls make a course for over 2000 elo... im currently stuck at 2150❤
I found that knight e4!!
i just breaked 1500 💀
liked/shared
It’s spelt Alehin (accent on E) 😊
Bro I came back from 1800 to 1600 . What shall I do
Find me a double check that isn't improving the position
Tell me about I just got my queen pinned in the e file playing as white
He have cat named chess
❤❤❤❤❤
Hungover after Independence Day but still here 💪

Great video, thank u. But please try to pronounce Alekhine correctly, he lived in France but was born in Russia. Alyohin should sound better. (Алёхин)
Your videos are a mess, how to find videos in series??
I bet you know, but this is not chrystal clear to others ;)

Whats the difference
It’s not “I like eine“, it’s “Ah - le - hin”.
