Alekhine is...underrated?! Hahaha...only in some books on the West in the world...and not by chess reasons and motives ,but by political idiotism of chess sociaty on the West...
@@martinbarkashki407 completely right. You can be sure that is someone has a bad deputation and his considered the bad one, is because it is orchestrated. Always by the same liars who control opinion. According to these ones , Alekhine had sympathy for National socialism, unforgivable. He paid it , by his life and reputation. Chess does not escape politics and the usual suspects are behind. It has nothing to do with Capablanca and the relative strength of these two geniuses.
A very interesting game where we have the opportunity to see how Alekhine thought, but Mr. Davidson was more concerned with neutralizing Alekhine's possibilities than trying to create his own game, falling into passivity which was masterfully exploited by Alekhine. He was dancing to the world champion music the whole time 🤷. Thanks for the interesting analysis of this great game.
I love the way you explain the logic of the combinations. Great work for someone speaking in a foreign tongue. Your English is very effective and your knowledge, exemplary.
Very interesting to see how every single move comes with a concrete idea which forces White to do things which slowly but surely leads to a worse position in every variant!
Thanks for showing us this beautiful game. The way A ties his opponent into knots is amazing. He is always running behind and A manages to keep increasing the pressure. And also the ending is beautiful, manouvring the rook on the h file, which finishes off the game.
Thank you for specifying the pawn structure!! Everyone only talks about the two bishops ignoring the many positions that are favorable for knights. Open position with pawns on both sides! That's it!
This is the first video that i watch from you, and i must tell you, its just perfect for me! Good analysis, but not too complex, and great choice of showing pre-engine games, closer to the usual players level.
Alekhine is, for me, TOP CHESSPLAYER of all chess history!! Why? Simply because he defeat 8 years unbeatable chess machine-man great Capablanca in marathon World Chess Championchip-match (¨older¨ generation) and later challenger Max Euwe (¨new generation¨)!!! That's why!
Thanks for the in depth explanation sir ! Learnt a lot especially how to capture the right pieces , checking what how a pawn move impacts the position from both sides etc
Splendid! The work you put in for this video shows. The choices on what variations to show, and which ones to leave out, Great explanations, everything was perfectly clear. Hats off!
Very clear and concise descriptions of Alekhine's tactical approach, plus many illustrative dives into alternate lines to show why they weren't superior options. Analyzing a historical match reminds me of some agadmator videos, and I love hearing multiple perspectives on such matters.

Спасибо, что показали эту замечательную игру, свидетельствующую о мастерстве Алехина в отношении качества фигур и их расстановки. Он всегда тщательно все планирует и, похоже, меньше беспокоится о разработке и больше о размещении, оптимальном размещении, а не просто о разработке. Он намеренно передвигает свои фигуры, чтобы сосредоточиться на слабых сторонах и заставить противника уступать одну уступку за другой. Я не согласен с расхожим мнением, что Капабланка был лучшим игроком, несмотря на проигрыш. Алехин - игрок, заслуживающий большей похвалы среди современных шахматистов. До того, как я начал играть профессионально, я слишком много внимания уделял изучению дебютов, а не фундаментальным идеям, таким как техника эндшпиля, как триангуляция, контролируемый темп, цугсванг.

I am a fan of your channel. The selection of classical games is outstanding and your comments are very useful. Deep enough to really learn, but not so that it becomes confusing. BTW, I hear you changed your pronunciation of “Alekhine” changed. Although you used the correct Russian pronunciation before, now you use the way Alekhine himself wanted his name pronounced.
I enjoyed the Way you go through the Game. Not too deep, but with some Ideas. You just missed at 3:50 a Ressource for white, so Bxh2 is not a Threat in this MOment (...Bxh2;Kxh2-Rxd4;Rxd4-Qe5+;Bf4(!)-Qxd4;Rd1 and black has Problems on backrank. Nevertheless, thx anyway !
Thank you. The engine actually showed me that resource when I was preparing the analysis of this game. I just wanted to explain why white played h3 after ...Rd8. If I show all computer variations the videos might be too long and probably also boring. So I try to show the games from a human perspective.
it would be interesting to see stockfish's evaluation of the position, to understand how bad his baiting moves are and what white could've done to punish black's wasted moves ... maybe actually sac-ing a pawn or two somewhere.
My brain feels like it is going to explode on the second move with chess. You don't need some antique master strategy to confuse me, just moving the pieces around is enough.
@@jakefromstatefarm6969many Russians themselves don't pronounce it right, by the way. The second vowel often miss-pronounced as "yo" as "Al-yo-heen". So it's double impressive that the author pronounces "Alekhine" correctly.
Why have half the screen as text? Make the board full screen. Text is not important. Just read the text at the start and then remove it. Or make it much smaller after the game starts.
What are you even talking about? The chess board is a square and the screen a rectangle. There will always be a border, and you would not get a better view of the chess if the text went away, as the board is already as big as it can be.
i guess the point is that the principle "develop your pieces" is SIMPLISTIC. in fact, the problem should be viewed HOLISTICALLY. the REAL principle is "improve your POSITION". this MAY involve developing the pieces, but there can be other ways.
Habla el Filosofo. Otras paradojas mias. 1. Si el ajedrez es tan complicado como se dice, ¿por que un niño de 8 años, casi analfabeto en todo, puede derrotar a un joven campeon; y, porque un joven campeon derrotara siempre a un otro mas viejo campeon? 2. Si los movimientos posibles, de dos jugadores son la mitad de infinitos (porque no pueden ser los movimientos de ambos totalmente infinitos), las partidas siempre terminan en un promedio de entre 30 y 76 movimientos? 3. El ajedrez aparece como un gran ejercicio de la mente humana, pero no lo es. Basta que uno aprenda sus cien reglas, para dominar el juego completamente. Todos pueden ser campeones. La prueba esta en que ningun campeon sera campeon para siempre, es decir, ningun campeon esta excento de ser derrotado.
Nice game and all, but I don't really see any *"spectacularly **_"DEEP"_** strategy"* at ALL about Alekhine's play... He was just *VERY* methodical and careful with his development, while his opponent was too hasty and made *TWO big blunders* -- namely the Knight moves at moves #21 and #24... :P Meanwhile Alekhine has *ONLY 1 (ONE)* _minor_ inaccuracy, and at a stage in the game where his victory was already assured.... :P (My source ?? : Latest version of the Stockfish chess engine... :P ) .
Its not the move. It's the thought behind the move that counts. There were no engines at the time nor there are engines when you play at the board. Inaccuracies and mistakes are what we see in hindsight.
You have a knack for explaining things. Not a single wasted word. Crystal clear explanation of what's going on the board.
This wasn't just the secret of Alekhine's attack. This was an insight into the secrets of a GM's mind.
Alekhine is underrated because everyone loves Capablanca and look at Alekhine as the villain
And that's the truth
And the "villain" was murdered in Portugal in his hotel room by french "epuration", the red slaughterers. Not an official new ,of course
Alleged Nazi sympathizer
Alekhine is...underrated?! Hahaha...only in some books on the West in the world...and not by chess reasons and motives ,but by political idiotism of chess sociaty on the West...

Unbelievable, what a deep understanding of chess and the brilliance of Alekhine, I salute you!
Now i see why Alekhine is so rated. Those moves are almost playing the opponent against themselves.
The Alekhine Capablanca 1927 match was like a battle of titans.
Makes it look so simple. Everything makes so logical sense...
This really gave me an appreciation for Alekhine for the first time. Thank you.
My pleasure.
the best explain of a chess game i have ever saw. no padding, just substance.
He pressured the opponent's position over and over without leaving any breathing room until cracks started to form, amazing
A very interesting game where we have the opportunity to see how Alekhine thought, but Mr. Davidson was more concerned with neutralizing Alekhine's possibilities than trying to create his own game, falling into passivity which was masterfully exploited by Alekhine. He was dancing to the world champion music the whole time 🤷. Thanks for the interesting analysis of this great game.
The stunning sacrifice of not one but both bishops shows the level of advance calculation in his attack.
I love the way you explain the logic of the combinations. Great work for someone speaking in a foreign tongue. Your English is very effective and your knowledge, exemplary.
Very interesting to see how every single move comes with a concrete idea which forces White to do things which slowly but surely leads to a worse position in every variant!
I have learned more watching this particular game and this particular analysis that any video I can recall.
Wow great game! I heard a story that when Kasparov first met Magnus, he asked him about his 4 favorite Alekhine games… 🤷🏻♂️🙏
I always loved alekhines games, they were always the funnest games to replay, which is why he was always my fav gm.
Thanks for showing us this beautiful game. The way A ties his opponent into knots is amazing. He is always running behind and A manages to keep increasing the pressure. And also the ending is beautiful, manouvring the rook on the h file, which finishes off the game.
My pleasure.
awesome - I saw the bishop sacrifice but I didn't see the long end game.. I wrongly saw mate quicker than was there
I love Alekhine's gun, its clear the man was a genius chess artist.
Brilliant game, well explained. Thank you
My pleasure.
Thanks for the analysis right from the opening stage and the game as well.
My pleasure.
@@chesswisdom Thanks Sir

The endgame Queen tactics…beautiful
Epic game!! 🤯
Alekhine is, for me, top five of chess history! Do you agree?... cheers from Brazil ❤
Yes, I agree. Cheers.
I love Alekhine play. He's my second choice after Paul Murphy.
I totally agree.
Alekhine is a magician 🪄✨
greatest ever!

This game was like watching an elegant dance. I'm proud of myself also for spotting bxh3.
Brilliant play by Alekhine.
My weakness at chess is not dissimilar to my weaknes at golf or 10-pin bowling… I only have one
Go-to strategy - “For Frodo!!!”
This is a beautiful analysis. Thank you for illustrating this magnificent game between two giants.
My pleasure.
4:54 "...which can be quite unpleasant." Sounds like something out of a Bond movie, lol.
Excellent video! Simple explanation of Alekhine's crazy attack
Thanks for the in depth explanation sir ! Learnt a lot especially how to capture the right pieces , checking what how a pawn move impacts the position from both sides etc
My pleasure, sir!
Alekhine...one of the greatest.
"This ant is engaged in a life or death struggle with the wolf."
The King Alekhine, great chess players allí time.
Talk about calculations! Taxed my working memory for sure.
A magisterial masterpiece of mathematical complexity
Splendid!
The work you put in for this video shows.
The choices on what variations to show, and which ones to leave out,
Great explanations, everything was perfectly clear.

Большое спасибо за теплые слова! Желаю вам успехов в дальнейшем шахматном совершенствовании.
Great game, thanks!
My pleasure!
Now I know why Alekhine is coined by Kramnik as The Dynamic
Even Kasparov said that Alekhine is the best tactical chess player. That's why the soviets targeted him to gain back the title.
Interesting indeed , So Magnus has also created some notable paradoxes as well.
Elaborately analysed. Thanks.
My pleasure.
This strategy is initiative , lasting curiously with black very soon and all along this instructive game .
Best game I've ever seen!

amazing piece play
This kind of deep calculation is what makes differences between GM and me, a mere mortal
This gane is an art
great video, you explain it so clearly and your style is amazing. Look forward to watching more
it would be interesting to see stockfish's evaluation of the position, to understand how bad his baiting moves are and what white could've done to punish black's wasted moves ... maybe actually sac-ing a pawn or two somewhere.
Insane patience.
Combinatorial chess is so much more interesting than positional chess.
All kind of chess is interesting.
My brain feels like it is going to explode on the second move with chess. You don't need some antique master strategy to confuse me, just moving the pieces around is enough.
Has to be one of the most interesting games ive seen
This is the correct prononciation of Alekhine's name
But most people can't do it for some reason
Because english speakers naturally want to pronounce the i as a long vowel because of the silent e at the end of his name.
@@jakefromstatefarm6969many Russians themselves don't pronounce it right, by the way. The second vowel often miss-pronounced as "yo" as "Al-yo-heen". So it's double impressive that the author pronounces "Alekhine" correctly.
Alekhine was the natural predecessor to Tal.
Complete with smoking and alcohol 💀

Man never took geometry 😢 he's still trying to put the round peg through the square hole 😔
Good job m8
i guess the point is that the principle "develop your pieces" is SIMPLISTIC.
in fact, the problem should be viewed HOLISTICALLY. the REAL principle is "improve your POSITION". this MAY involve developing the pieces, but there can be other ways.
So it's like allowing them to get the center to make deliberate , efficient moves that take advantage of their positional weaknesses?
Bravo🎉🎉🎉🎉
I found this confusing as what were game moves or possible moves
Woaw so instructional
12:14 why is white taking back with knight and not bishop
After 23.Bxf4 Black will also be up a pawn after 23...Bxd4 24.Nxd4 Nxf4.

21 Ned4 better. And 21 ... Qxc2 22 Bxс2. 21 Nc3 mistake
ok but white can just not take the checking bishop, just move to h1
Dude we need a game played same until 20th move averagely by a few players and comtinue ways be different might be a way to develop our chess vision
The usual way of a top player to win against a minor is wait for the mistake. No exception here
Yep. Keep making threats, asking questions…eventually a poor player will answer incorrectly
A true chess player would have retired already knowing he has to sacrifice his queen. All comments welcome
Ok, so next game I play, I won't develop my pieces, right? :) Thanks for the analysis.
Yes, exactly. :) My pleasure.
Carlsen is capable of playing something like this....he has the ability to create and calculate all these lines like Alekhine....
It's poetry, not game ❤
So there is development, undevelopment, nondevelopment, and antidevelopment.
Where did this idea about Alekhine forcing the opponent to develop came from? Lol
Wondering the same 😅
A better way to say it is "Alekhine dies not hesitate to move a developed piece for a 2nd time, and lures his opponent to pieces in bad squares".
Parece una obra de orfebrería de Fabergé
Who was his opponent?
Jacques Davidson.
cool!
I managed to minute 12, but you are talking too much, just unbearable
Nice game and all, but I don't really see any *"spectacularly **_"DEEP"_** strategy"* at ALL about Alekhine's play...
He was just *VERY* methodical and careful with his development, while his opponent was too hasty and made *TWO big blunders* -- namely the Knight moves at moves #21 and #24... :P

👍🙏
16:34 Bxh3 sacrifice? [edit: GOT IT!!!]
Alekhine constantly plays for threads. Not for development. Because technically development does nothing if you have no threads.
What does threads mean?
@@harshrajjadhav940
I think he meant threats
