Mato is the man. Sometimes I wonder for half an hour which movie to watch and I end up at this channel admiring games and commentary for an hour or two. Pozz iz Bosne.
Your site is the in my opinion the best chess review sites out there....most of the other ones talk to much, instead of brief overview the way you do...you may consider finding online sources for your dvd's because the newer computers don't have cd drives...smile
Mato, I really like the reverent whisper of Check...mate. Your style of analysis is both breezy and informative - well done, good sir! Easily my favourite TH-cam chess instructor/analyst. A question: who do you consider the better pure chess player (assuming that opening theory is somehow removed from the equation): Capablanca or Kasparov?
In my opinion that is because Mato has a good voice to hear, and also he does not go through tons of variations every single move, so we just cant get tired of watching :D
Dear Mato, I was wondering; Do you also listen to music while playing Chess? Do you also practice against the computer or do you have partners? Anyway thank you for making these videos! I know it takes a long time to make them but they are really helpful. I played chess for 4,5 years from age 9 to 13 and then I quit for about 6 years. Now I am playing again, and I watch all of your videos to learn something new every day. You are gifted! Thank you :D Lenny from the Netherlands
I think that exchanging dark square Bishop in fianchetto for a Knight just to double the pawns is strategically wrong, since you leave a lot of holes around the King which can be easily attacked by white. This is especially true if you are also late in development. Greetings from an amatuer italian player :)
i agree and ive won a lot of games in the nimzo when people trade on c3 im usually happy, doubled pawns, if your king is safe is a good price to pay for the bishop pair !
Hey Mato, can you show the Mark Taimanov vs Miguel Najdorf - Zurich 1953 game???.... I´ve heard it was very interesting, and since I found your channel, for some reason, I can´t watch other chess videos on youtube... greetings from Argentina!
I was watching some videos of bayonet attack, and all won against KID. So should KID not be played anymore at high level? Has bayonet really put KID to sleep?
Hi Lenny! I don't listen to music while playing chess. I improve my chess with books and I don't play against computer. I don't have a chess partner. It is good idea to have one. For more answers to FAQ see my Channel: About Mato
Black played weak chess. Ne8 and Bxc3 were awful moves. You can play Kings indian like that, if you go e6 with idea exd5 you have to take control over e-file and later play agressivly like f5-f4 and knight manouvers to some squares which white is willing to give you and with Qc7 or Qe7. I'm no expert of course but this is not the dynamic to play Kings indian and ofcourse Bxc3 is a blunder.

Mato, thank you very much for making these videos. You've gotten me excited about chess all over again!
What a video!! Loving it. Please put more games of Petrosian, Capablanca, Alekhine, Karpov and Spassky. I want to master positional chess.

Easily

Perhaps you should show us how :D Please upload games about the bayonet attack! Thank you, and keep up the tremendous work! Greetings from Indonesia!

Capablanca makes it look so easy to find the right move!

Hey Mato, on 21. Rxe7 why does black not play Rae8 threatening mate on e1?

1st comment. Amazing video as always.
great! the game as well as mato:D
Play bayonet attack
Coach are contemporary of Capablanca?
I was watching some videos of bayonet attack, and all won against KID. So should KID not be played anymore at high level? Has bayonet really put KID to sleep?
But where is Berlin?
If your actually asking it's in Germany.
+Crow Haiges you're*

Capablanca is my favorite chess player :D I wish he was alive today and play against Kasparov or anand
he probably realized he had no chance against capablanca
Capa hated Mieses to pieces.
oh dear, black made some very awkward knight moves in this game... it must have been difficult to face down capablanca!
You need to own the words check.......mate.. copyright they belong to Mato
So i guess after this game , german were angry and starts a world war?
Here is looking at you kid.
all chess comentators have a wet voice
Mieses did not play this very well...

I like Mieses a lot, he played much better games than this one !
