I love these historical chess matches. Brings a different kind of appreciation to the game. This is a game played by influential figures throughout human history
This game never happened. If you search the internet for the etching which depicts the chess game between Lenin and Hitler, you will see that it isn't authentic. Lenin was almost completely bald by the age of 30, and there he was depicted as a man with hair, completely unrecognisable. Hitler also doesn't look like himself there. Most likely the etching was a mere product of artist's imagination and nothing more.
Yea, I was buying it either. This whole period is littered with bad historical takes based on no proof, everything is taken on faith that these amazing feats and events occurred regardless of common sense, or an unbiased objective historical viewpoint. Primary sources are a must…
It makes no sense, in 1909 Hitler was a 20 y/o nobody, there's no reason for someone to draw his game. We know he was a nobody even in ww1. His mother died at 18, and by 20, wikipedia says "In 1909, Hitler ran out of money and was forced to live a bohemian life in homeless shelters and a men's dormitory. He earned money as a casual labourer and by painting and selling watercolours of Vienna's sights." Also nothing can tie Lenin to Vienna in that time, and play chess with some homeless dude, as Lenin was already quite a "hotshot" in 1909. Also Lenin was half bald even in 1900 while Hitler is depicted as a 45 yo man, ffs he was only 20 in 1909, I know times were very hard but still.
Things I learned from Chess so far is it teaches you not let your ego decide your moves, that there is always someone better than you, and you always have to improve or you'll lose the game
I mean he made great moves as a politician, but as military leader he was a pain in the ass and funny thing is - without his constant meddling into shit he didn't understand (dude was barely a corporal in the army) nazis could end the war controlling Europe. No way they would hold onto Africa or get even close to USA but still.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 well, you have to see it from the kinda "me" attitude (I dont know how to call it) from his generals and subordinates saying "If HE did what I said WE wouldnt have lost". Yes, he did make some blunders but there are also tlmes where he blundered even more by listening to his generals
It requires a very special setup by your opponent. If they form a strong position on either side, you can surround it by using your knights' and bishops' superior mobility, exploiting the small gaps and preventing the king from castling, and allowing yourself to do so. With the rooks and queen now you can easily checkmate the enemy as they will have blocked their way out of their stronghold. The Maginot gambit has its benefits, but I'm not that much of a fan
Nobody is really sure. The engravings are probably real, the event probably involved Hitler, but nobody can place Lenin in Vienna in 1909, and he would have been bald (so it's suspected that it's not Lenin pictured). There's also no actual record of game or of the two ever meeting.
it's said he chose to shoot himself to avoid the soviet torture, Mussolini and his wife got it rly bad. soviets are not well known for their kind hearts:))) but for ruthless rapes and killings of civilians
it isnt lenin. theres no record of lenin even going to vienna in 1909, and he also wouldve been bald. it looks more like trotsky but once again theres 0 record of either of them ever meeting so
as much as i wish we could watch this match, a few people spent most of their lives authenticating if a painting of the game was real, I highly doubt this is the actual game they played. Even so very interesting and a good watch
there is no need to spend a minute to authenticate that the painting is pure bs. Lenin was half bald in 1900, Hitler was 20yo not in his 40s like in this picture.
@@wallabra i think he just forgot that the game took place in 09. most people arent thaught about hitler except that he was a bad man. so its not really exclusive to americans.
An interesting tidbit, that is often omitted from history books, is that both Hitler and Stalin were avid chess players. During the breaks of long strategy palavers with his military staff, Hitler liked to unwind by playing blitz chess with the generals. He loved to gain the initiative with tricky gambits, but his daring play cost him many matches when opponents could withstand his early attacks. Often, after such a humiliating loss, Hitler would succumb to an unhinged tantrum of rage. A strange peculiarity in his playing style, was his propensity to irrationally sacrifice nearly all of his material, when faced with a looming defeat. Stalin too, as keen a chess enthusiast as his German arch nemesis, liked to challenge his comrades to games of chess, insisting on always playing with the black pieces. Stalin was known as a staunch defender and an endgame specialist. His main weapon was the formidable Stalingrad Defense in the Barbarossa Opening, where black counterattacks the overextended white army, typically resulting in an insurmountable queenside pawn storm in the endgame. The games with Stalin were invariably very long, usually stretching into the morning hours. In addition to the usual forks, pins and skewers, his tactics included taking very long times to think in seemingly innocuous positions, serving generous amounts of vodka to his opponents (while his vodka was diluted with 90% water), and steering the conversation to concern some mysterious disappearances of fellow politburo members.
Lenin only entered Vienna briefly in 1913 for a Bolshevik meeting. He never was in Vienna in 1909. Also Hitler was a broke painter living on the streets in 1909.
Unfortunately, the only evidence of this having ever happened is the painting, if it can even be counted as such. Neither Hitler or Lenin wrote or mentioned meeting one another. Even the painting has a few inaccuracies, Lenin was mostly bald by 1909 for example. Also the text for the painting describes Emma Löwenstamm bringing the two together to play one another. I do not know much about Lenin’s time in Austria during 1909 but I believe it was extremely brief (most biographies will only mention his time in England and France that year) and it was spent in hiding. It would be unlikely that he would accept invitations from strangers during this period. Furthermore, there aren’t any alleged recordings of this already alleged game. All in all, this game is almost certainly fabricated; even if they had played at all, the game certainly wasn’t recorded.

Meanwhile, Hitler's anti-Bolshevik attitude would not have boded very well among his followers if they found out he had once had casual chess games with their ideological enemies' former leader.
@@thibvp778 Lenin also was just a random guy. The revolution started in 1917 and even after democratic one that has happened in February no one knew who tf is Lenin. In 1906 he was a leader of a very small and not popular banned party.
Hitlers biggest issue when playing chess was that he would actually more often than not be in a really good position going into the late game, and then he would turn and attack the Soviet Union and it would fall apart.
I think that the chess game is actually factual because according to Wikipedia Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 and Lein died in 1924 so the dates mach up they would be together and around the same time, now you have to know that Adolf was in the German imperial army during 1914-1920 now these dates mean that Adolf could not have played chess during these years of his life BUT according to the person who painted Adolf and Lenin playing chess he states that "they met in 1909 in Vienna Austria" that means that if you do the math Adolf would have bin 20 years old, also Lenin would be in a close by country of Switzerland so he could have gone to Vienna Austria and played chess with a young 20 year old, Adolf Hitler.
This kinda reflects Hitler's war strategies in WW2. Dude was just so aggressive and kind of not thinks through his offensives, especially in Russia/USSR
I am curious if this game ever happened. That being said, I think that it makes sense that Lenin would whoop Hitler's ass. Not a very good tactician Hitler!
Life imitates art. He fought with the same impetuous bull-headedness that he did in real life. Honestly, we're all pretty lucky that he was so impulsive. I mean, imagine if he had bought his oil from the Russians or Saudis instead of attacking Russia. That would have been a much, much harder war. I mean, if the guy allied with Russia against Japan, that would have been a real political mess. But instead, he attacks Russia, lol.
@@TheOneWhoListens He was a good manipulator and dictator, terrible tactician He stepped on the backs of his brilliant general staff and as he executed them one by one for this or that imaginary reason, the quality of leadership within the reich fell exponentially. The Germans were still in a good position later in the war, but they lacked leadership because they all kept dying or being executed. While the Soviets are claimed to do this more, they really did not (that already happened before the war!). So the Soviets and the Americans had all of their best general staff still by 1944, the same time Hitler executed Rommel. By the end, he was making all of the decisions while high, sleep deprived, malnourished, on opiates, amphetamines, and cocaine, and riding the dragon all the way to the bunker
I honestly doubt this game ever happened. Hitler was a nobody in 1909. Problem with getting information on him is that so much is fabricated and lies like for example his diaries.

@Thib vp I mean it's not like Lenin was above playing a game with the common man.
Hitler was literally homeless in 1909 and worked as a "casual laborer" this isn't even remotely close to possible. Must be Russian propaganda
@@thibvp778 Lenin also was just a random guy. The revolution started in 1917 and even after democratic one that has happened in February no one knew who tf is Lenin. In 1906 he was a leader of a very small and not popular banned party.
Hitlers biggest issue when playing chess was that he would actually more often than not be in a really good position going into the late game, and then he would turn and attack the Soviet Union and it would fall apart.
I think that the chess game is actually factual because according to Wikipedia Adolf Hitler was born in 1889 and Lein died in 1924 so the dates mach up they would be together and around the same time, now you have to know that Adolf was in the German imperial army during 1914-1920 now these dates mean that Adolf could not have played chess during these years of his life BUT according to the person who painted Adolf and Lenin playing chess he states that "they met in 1909 in Vienna Austria" that means that if you do the math Adolf would have bin 20 years old, also Lenin would be in a close by country of Switzerland so he could have gone to Vienna Austria and played chess with a young 20 year old, Adolf Hitler.
So this is what Kanye West meant when he said Hitler wasn’t that bad!
💀
Was hoping he'd say something like, "Hitler's really running out of space here"
Never thought I would hear the sentence, “Hitler is getting ready to fienncheeto his bishop”
6:22 i found it because it was on the thumbnail, great stuff man, i like your videos
take a drink everytime he says “you know what”
It is historically accurate with his fight vs russians too
the problem of this game is that it's hard to root for someone because of obvious reasons. (both being dictators)
At least lenin didn't commit any mass genocides (his successor did)
chancellors aren't dictators but okay my guy, neither of them perfectly fit the description of one
🙋🇩🇪
1:09 it sounds outrageous 😂😂
“As you can see, Hitler is attacking the center”.
I never thought I’d never see Kanye playing chess but I guess I’ve been fooled
repent unto God Christ
@@Baggerz182 no
I’m going to go out on a limb here…. This game never happened lol
Pretty likely. Only evidence is some sketch allegedly made by someone observing the game. Weirder is that they recorded the moves.
Lenin was in France at the time. Even if somehow this game happened, the moves made are a mystery
@@Dasmus tbf I can see a 1900s nerd doin that
Lenin died in 1924, and hitler was a nobody until around the 30’s.
@@blobfishyyyyy7640 The painting it's based on is allegedly from 1909
The thumbnail got me 😂😂also love you non chalantly say adolf hitler 🤣. Really good vid man I liked and subbed
Communists beat Nazis, whether on the battlefield or in chess.
He liked the Blitzkrieg gambit
watching this video is something i never knew i needed in my life
“A French defense”☠️ yeah that makes sense
Hitler loses at war and chess. He sure seems to always be on a losing streak.
6:56 IRONIC
This kinda reflects Hitler's war strategies in WW2. Dude was just so aggressive and kind of not thinks through his offensives, especially in Russia/USSR
Would be interesting to see what Elo they both were.
hitler is around 1939-1945 elo
Lenin was the underdog here, he was a bit lower at 1924
Mate you’re a legend
Its true that Hitler resinged. But as I remember Stalin got the board after in 19:24 minute as white.
Nah, Stalin only started winning in 19:42
Lenin
@cool dude Think bro think, its reference to ww2 and as u can see there is no 19:24 minute in the game its reference to 1924 🤦♂
Resigning when things get too bad sounds like hitler
At some point during the following 35 years, Hitler forgot how to surrender.
Wow, what a great game! I wonder if these two people had a very great chess history!
Her:
He's probably cheating on me...
Him and the boys:
"How Good was Hitler at Chess?"
guess lenin cares more about the king than I thought
I have never thought about this or anything close to this but I’m intrigued
"hitler just non stop applying pressure" 😆😆😆
Hitler and Lenin never met btw
He was a good man. I don't even have to elaborate you can already tell who I'm talking about.
6:07 - Steiner's attack
Hitler goes into his Downfall bunker rant.
could hitler stand a chance if he had moved king to e7 instead of king to g7? xD
no, because queen f7 would have been mate
5:06 I’m not good at chess by any stretch of the imagination but wouldn’t he be able to move the bishop to e7 and attack the knight?
That loses a pawn
title be like:
”they got me on the first half not gonna lie”
I am curious if this game ever happened. That being said, I think that it makes sense that Lenin would whoop Hitler's ass. Not a very good tactician Hitler!
I'm sorry? Hitler being a bad tactician? Why would you think that
@@TheOneWhoListens The Allies avoided assassinating him because they worried someone more competent would take control
Life imitates art. He fought with the same impetuous bull-headedness that he did in real life. Honestly, we're all pretty lucky that he was so impulsive. I mean, imagine if he had bought his oil from the Russians or Saudis instead of attacking Russia. That would have been a much, much harder war. I mean, if the guy allied with Russia against Japan, that would have been a real political mess. But instead, he attacks Russia, lol.
@@TheOneWhoListens He was a good manipulator and dictator, terrible tactician
He stepped on the backs of his brilliant general staff and as he executed them one by one for this or that imaginary reason, the quality of leadership within the reich fell exponentially. The Germans were still in a good position later in the war, but they lacked leadership because they all kept dying or being executed. While the Soviets are claimed to do this more, they really did not (that already happened before the war!). So the Soviets and the Americans had all of their best general staff still by 1944, the same time Hitler executed Rommel.
By the end, he was making all of the decisions while high, sleep deprived, malnourished, on opiates, amphetamines, and cocaine, and riding the dragon all the way to the bunker
I honestly doubt this game ever happened. Hitler was a nobody in 1909. Problem with getting information on him is that so much is fabricated and lies like for example his diaries.
