Alekain very tactically played this game. A good analysis. Keep it up.
Great!
Thanks so much
Good explanation. Keep it up!!
Thank you!!!
I enjoy Alekhine's games. They are particularly complex and it is not always easy to understand his strategy, but I am always inspired by his ability to calculate deeply and find the right move at a critical moment. Thanks to this video I feel like I understand him slightly more as a player
Thanks for commenting. Alekhine definitely one of the best Classic Players to study and learn from his games.
One of the most instructive lessons ever.
🤓 Thank you!!! 🙏
One of the greatest players in history! Thanks Michel!
Absolutely!
Welcome
superb analysis bro....I watched only 3 chess channels before 1. agadmator 2. Chess school 3. Historical chess videos....now I have subscribed to your channel too.........!
That's great!
Thanks 🙏
Alekhine is an extremly dynamical player. His tactic is similar to AI tactic. He is giving one piece and at the same time he is attacing a next black piece. And power of his attack likes waves, one then another one and next and next.
A Master of the Initiative!
I haven't studied many of his games. Not good enough yet. But I can already tell that he will be one of my favorite players. I definitely gravitate towards players like Morphy, Tal, Alekhine, Kasparov, rather than Capablanca, Botvinnik, Karpov, Carlsen
Great!
In general Alekhine's games are very exciting!
Thanks so much for the comment...
Great player
Exactly! 👌
one of the greatests : seeing his games , i think your number 4 attribute is his play mark ; but all of them suit him
Great!
Thanks
Fantastic
He is my favourite
Absolutely Amazing Player!
Thanks for commenting
Pleasantly surprised how good this video is… very clear explanations even of basics I already new but how you described it made it even clearer. And I learned something from your fifth reason which is a mistake I’m sure I’ve been making sometimes. So, already you are memorable for me in my improvement as a chess player. Thank you and yes, I subscribed… great job! All the best, God bless you and your family, in Jesus Name amen.
Thank you very much! 🙏
The video down is enough to do justice " Alexander Alekhine "
Greetings
@@michechess my regard for you .
🤓🖐
His name is Russian:
Алекса́ндр Але́хин - would be nice if you learned to pronounce it correctly to honor his legacy.
According to him, success in chess required: "Firstly, self-knowledge; secondly, a firm comprehension of my opponent's strength and weakness; thirdly, a higher aim - ... artistic and scientific accomplishments which accord our chess equal rank with other arts"
What a beautiful explanation, he was definitely one of the GOAT in chess.
Thanks, nice quote! About the name, I keep it in mind... 🤓
@@michechess Great. 🙂👍
The Russian Алехин is pronounced ahl-YEKH-een (KH as in the Scottish "loch"), with a common variant ahl-YOKH-een which Alekhine himself did not like. Hope it helps.
Will you make more videos about other great Russian chess players?
Absolutely! There should be more soon
@@michechess looking forward to it
Alekhine will always be remembered as the coward that he was for refusing to allow Capablanca a rematch and even avoiding him in regular events. Alekhine plays the game in the video like a drunk setting up amateur tactics that an average patzer could find today. See my other comment for a breakdown of this mess some of you call a brilliancy.
I never understood why Alekhine is revered as one of the all time greatest. First of all, what kind of tactical genius starts the game with 1.d4?? A self respecting tactical genius will start the game with 1.e4. Second, this game is littered with errors starting with the celebrated 12. f4. Third, other than Bg6 (which an average expert level player can find) it seems to me that Alekhine is all over the place like a drunk setting up amateur tactics left and right hoping to get lucky. Opening theory aside I think Alekhine would be lucky to be a top ten player in any era beyond his own reign as world champion. This explains why he avoided Capablanca like the plague and refused to participate in the same events as Capablanca.
I understand if you don't think Alekhine was a top master.
However, there are certain things you mentioned that I don't think are exactly that way.
1) I don't see any problem with a tactic player, starting with 1.d4. In top levels they need to play several openings. Tal also played c4, d4 or Nf3.
2) In worst case 12.Bf4 is an inaccuracy. It's hard to find a Classic Game without some small mistake. It was a different time, and they didn't have all the stuff we have today. Top masters from years ago were not as strong as top masters today, but that doesn't demerit them at all.
3) I don't think the same way, but of course, I respect your opinion.
Thanks for the comment! 😉👍🏻
@@michechess . I appreciate the reply and I respect the fact that you found the time to put up the video so I can sit here and criticize your idol. But you and I both know that Alekhine is renowned for his tactical "genius." Maybe this game wasn't the best example of Alekhine's genius and for now I will hold firm on my opinion about Alekhine.
No worries about "criticizing", comments are good for the channel 😁👍🏻 ...
You will be surprised to know that my idol is Capablanca too. But I also like Alekhine's games. We need to learn from all the classics.
I picked this game bc I wanted to highlight other things, not only the Tactic Vision.
Thanks again! 👊
@@michechess . Ok. I recently read "Capablanca's Best Chess Endings" and I'm a huge fan to Capablanca's (mostly) machine like end game precision and his incredible foresight to convert small advantages into winning end games. Even a beginner could look at Capablanca's best games and learn from them. But my real idol is Fischer who besides maybe Morphy is unmatched in peak performance.
Overall, I think games from the old masters make the best studies. I'll keep my mind opened to Alekhine's games as I come across more of them. Cheers and best of luck with your channel!
This is one of my favorite endgames by Capablanca
