Another Great Offensive game by Wei Yi he’s really shining in the lime light thanks to his Brilliant performance in this tata steel tournament maybe next year he can compete in the candidates Thanks for the Game enjoy your day James
@@nk73 Wei yi the eventual overall winner after tie breaks Wei Yi Gukesh Nordibek and Anish all were tied for #1 with 8.5 pts each obviously those 4 won more games than Alireza Wei Yi ‘s games were offensive masterpieces
@@nk73 actually Wei Yi Gukesh Nordibek and Anish had more wins than Alireza those 4 finished in a 4 way tie Wei Yi the eventuall overall winner after tie Breaks
@@michaelmassaro4375 Yes but Epic Chess clearly said day after day that Alireza was the only exciting player in the tournament. Even when he played much inferior chess than Wei and Gukesh, who had more games with 0/1 results than Alireza.
So good to see Wei Yi back in form. I reckon he got pissed at seeing Ding farting around, and thought, "F this shxt. I'll show you how it's done" 😂 Dude got motivated. As for the drunken grandmaster, I've always pronounced it "Ale-kine" or "Ale-keen". 👍
the pronounciation is wrong, if you want to stay on the side of truely speaking the name in spirit of russian language. its aljechin ( the ch is spoken soft). the way you pronounce it is the english transliteration of a russian name ( and therefore not in the original spirit of how the name is spoken).
What a back and forth game, balanced on a knife edge and the whole time having to have your French and German to hand if needed. Must be an incredible stress!
I hadn't realized that Alekhine's Defense was so "out of favor". Excellent finish by Wei Yi, after finding the one chance mid-game. And oh dear, if I ever have to say ZWISCHENZUG during a game I will probably faint first.
@epicchess2021 It also could be valuation. It's giving a value for each position. How valuable is the position. Same root word value. But if it's properly called evaluation bar, well okay. I guess the computer's evaluating But the bar represents the value of each position. :)
It’s a cool game but sorry I won’t be doing anymore Wei Yi games, reality is no one really cares that much about him! Plus agadmator already covered that one, not that he did as good a job as I would of course 😉🤪
Fine that you mention the whispering of German words and the shouting of French, maybe with mentioning that in Europe one is expected to sing “Fianchetto.” Of course it is only in Italy that one should sing”Fegatello.” When playing the fried liver attack. Thanks James, that was a great win.
Great video….i thought I was going to learn chess but my French, German and Physics are also improving no end. If I hadn’t realised before, definitely my go to video each day !
For pronouncing Alekhine. There's video of Daniel Naroditsky breaking the pronounciation down, strongly recommend watching that clip, but if you can't find it the original Алёхин would sound much more like Alyohin, with a softer k sound (more glottal, back of the mouth/into the throat even). The first way you said it is probably the most popular way to for English speakers, I've seen some complain about this terrible Americanization, but I (and I suspect many others as well) don't find it so offensive
Yeah they are on the shoulders on some coats or milatary uniforms etc there’s a ‘lapel mate’ in chess like king has two pieces on its shoulders blocking it in like that position
The top GMs have not taken the time to really analyze Alekhine's defense. If you do you will find that Black has a very difficult time against the 4 Pawn attack. Of course the Modern variation with 4. Nf3 is a slight edge to White as well, but Black can hold with very accurate play.
5:05 -- Wow. This was hilarious.
Haha glad you enjoyed thanks for watching
Yi can play! He can see the geometry.
The guy didnt play serious tournament 8 years 😂😂😂
but as per epic chess videos, there was only one exciting player, Alireza. Everyone else was boring. Hey Epic, count who won more games than Alireza.
I don't think that is true. At least he doesn't cream his britches every time Carlson makes a good move. @@nk73
These players are opening with rubbish moves and laughing secretly as they do it! Saying "bet he didn't study THIS position!" haha
I love your transition from a chess channel to a humor channel.
Haha yeah I try and do a mix I guess keeps it fun for me too

Loved the vocabulary lesson with the word “undermine.”
Shame that yi plays so few tournaments

Imagine playing such a rare opening
I like to be extra winning in chess. Never happens though.
that valuation bar... hahaha one move and black is losing! haha
Yeah! It’s ‘evaluation’ bar by the way, just a small correction

@TruthSurge true!
Please check on wei yi vs max warmedom 🙌

@epicchess2021 even if no one cares about him but he can still outplayed everyone in the top 30 when his in form😂😂🔥
@@WorldCitizen333 but l didn't ask you to be my translate
What he meant was that when Way Ye wins another tournament against strong layers, then he may cover those games in the future. Understand?
@@mcronrn so you're he's spoke person now?

Hahaha I thought similar thanks

Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed! Cheers for watching
I love the Alekhine ! Great choice by Yi!
14:05 , why didn't the king go to e1 instead!?
I think still queen dropping and overwhelming material but forget details sorry
Where's Carlsen in this line-up? Also, I saw the bishop d4 move and rook g7 moves so now I'm a pro (not really)
Has a vacation but returning this week
@@epicchess2021 Gone back to the Norwegian fields to work on his plough?
Gee, I really felt sorry for that camel!
Haha
I forgot he also played the Dutch at Tata Steel!! #gangsta
Colle + Alekhine + Dutch = BDE
Haha
you mastered those non-english chess words my man 😄 well done
Haha thanks cheers for watching
Is it possible to make it so the previous and new pawn positions are highlighted?
Ah yeah I think I turned the setting off sorry
Great commentary comme d’habitude
Merci beaucoup!
Fischer beat Spassky with the Alehkine defence in 1972
And he played it again and drew in the same match.
Al-canes, defense.
Undermine, thats cool, didnt know where thst word came from, nice one
Yeah I believe so and Thanks a lot glad you enjoyed! Cheers for watching
@@epicchess2021 cheeers, no need to keep thanking me, I know you see the comments and are considerate bloke
Interesting game...thanks for showing us...im learning such a lot from you
Oh cool thanks a lot for watching and commenting!

Thanks very much I’ll check that out!
I found black's Bxd4, Qh4 and Rxg2 in a few seconds. I reckon there's a good chance i'm a GM without a GM title🤣
Haha nice bit easy
Half-open file? We Italians call it semi-open 😮😅😂
What do ye call spaghetti?
More chess 960 games please! Then we can always have a fresh non-monotonous and/or sketchy opening…
Big tournament coming in 2 weeks!
I second the motion. Let's channel the ghost of Bobby Fischer with some Fischer Random 960!!! :)
No - it isn’t chess.
Really good game
Dude you’re hilarious 😂😂
Haha thanks glad you’re enjoying!
Lapels? (Great game)
Yeah they are on the shoulders on some coats or milatary uniforms etc there’s a ‘lapel mate’ in chess like king has two pieces on its shoulders blocking it in like that position
