Again, the beauty of the game is displayed here. I have taken away the outpost idea from other videos of yours, but have made mistakes in using them. Often too focused on occupying them at the peril of my position elsewhere. To see the patience displayed here where the brave king eventually takes up residence in that outpost is amazing. I am still learning and really loving the simple beauty of the game as well. My eyes have been opened wide.
These pawn mistakes are really hard to identify in one's own games, but you illustrate them so clearly here. Now that i am better at seeing holes open up in these pawn structures, i can proceed with a much more effective plan too. I'm sure they have been always been there in my games but i just never noticed them. It's like i was a crow on the transparent cylinder task, not knowing why i couldn't make progress, but now i have been shown an opaque cylinder and know can finally see where the gaps are!
What you and Dr Alekhine demonstrate is patience. Even with Black's snaggletooth pawn structure early on, White had to bring his King up the board to deliver the knockout.
What an amazing game topped off with an extraordinary mate. That was a real joy. It's nice to understand chess rather than just want to win, I think. There is pleasure in understanding clearly, not just in the gratification of winning. Thanks for this!
Good information that shows not only pushing pawns can be a mistake, but that you should be on the lookout for those outposts, and they're not only for knights. Thank you.
Beautiful game. I just noticed that the name "Alyekhin" is pronounced correctly as the original name, not as the anglicized "Alekhine". I like it, and the game too.

Such lovely feedback. Step by step our eyes will open to the beautiful dimensions of this amazing game. I am happy if I helped.
Thank you, very instructive. Love that you recap it to help drive home the points, the last few minutes really help
So glad to hear your kind words. I always want to end with a summary as it is good for consolidation.
Not every teacher can explain like this. Great work Dr. Can👍🏻❤
Thank you so much ❤️

Your knowledge of corvids dealing with transparent and opaque barriers is amazing!! It sounds like you have read my PhD. thesis. Such self-control!
This was some awesome commentary and teaching at the same time very entertaining
Thank you so much for your kind words and for leaving this comment :)

Patience is the name of the game indeed! Thank you for leaving this comment.

Thank you so much! Indeed, there is much beauty in following and understanding chess on a deeper level, without necessarily the desire to win games.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback and commenting on my videos.

Thank you for leaving this comment. If I am not wrong, even more correct pronouncation is "Alyochin". But then nobody would understand me.
Both lovely for the conversion and that Ke5 move.
Thank you! Many thanks for interacting and leaving a comment.
Another great lesson Doc!
Thank you so much! My pleasure.

You have received a grade of "AA" for this genius exploration of Alexander the Great
He did the heavylifting. I was the messenger :)
Very nice! 💌
Thank you! 😊
How instructive!
Swiss cheese 😋 lol
Yep the art of exchanging pieces (it was a great chessable course)
I didn't find Nf6 2 rooks mating pattern 😕.
Swiss cheese, yummy! Thank you for your kind words on the exchanging pieces course! It is called the Blind Swine Mate!
Why did black not challenge the c file immediately after Ba6 with either rook to c8? Surely leaving the rooks on the board was better for white!
I think the problem there is Rxc8 Rxc8 Rxc8 Bxc8 Nc6! With double threat of Ne7+ and Nxb4.
i cant understand. there is a knight that protect the outposts on d7. so, i cant put nothing mine there or can i?
That is why Alekhine exchanged off that knight on d7 with his other knight :)
8:40: "Winning pawns" is a part here too. 5 pawns for black will have a hard time.
