It is hard to find people who could explain chess games better than Mato. "Rook takes pawn on a7....saving his buddy bishop..bringing him food, water and medicine"
Many thanks, Mato, for this historically very important and fascinating game. Alekhine was a giant amongst giants, and his self-confidence shines through, from the opening onwards, in all his games.
My sense of this game is that Euwe played "small ball" chess while Alekhine was working to a grand strategy, possibly stemming from home preparation. We don't often see games like that between World Champions and World Championship challengers, these days.
Max Euwe , by not castling when he had the opportunity , led to devastating consequences. That posted b4 dark B preventing Kside castling was more than a thorn in the side: it was a dagger.
I know this wont make any diffrence at this point but, at 5:34 woudnt it ended faster if white played Rxg7 instead of Rxa7? what does the computer say best move in that position?
How about if at 4:38 rook from 8 to e1, threatening pawn takes on d5 discover attack on the pinned queen, winning the queen? The only good square for the queen is g6 (every other square would result in losing the queen) and in that case the queen will not be able to defend her king.
First he wrote Alekhine vs Euwe to indicate that in this game had A with white, E with black. Then - on the next line - Mato specified what the event was, namely Euwe Alekhine match for the world championship, which is what you read as Euwe beeing written twice. :) Now practice precision for three months and in the meantime don't comment! :)
He is crazy deep. It's unbelievable. I've tried to mimic both him and Tal. Whenever I try to mimic Tal, I actually do okay. But whenever I try to mimic Alekhine, I look terrible. Thing is, Tal always had leverage for unusual situations. Alekhine was like "I'm gonna play a position where I either do this exactly right or I lose the game". Well, he almost always did it right. It's hard to play the Alekhine style. If you play the Tal style, it's easier for your opponent to screw up. At least that's what I've found.
I think there is a much better move for white @ 5:24 instead of rooke takes pawn on a7 give check @ e7 with bishop then take pawn on f6 with bishop there is no move that can stop checkmate if black takes or defends with rook h8 Queen will take on f6 well to much to explain wonder what the computer would say? black would lose atleast the queen

Out of the three checkmate options, I like Bb5# because it's like they saved Private Ryan, and then he is the one that ends up giving checkmate

nice,I am waiting Alekhine for a long time...

please upload more games between these two chess GIANTS.. 👍
5:55 "Qe4" hahaha Mato is hilarious
God knows I love this guy's way of story telling :)
And he deserves chocolate life not to fear the damages and conspirators coverts.
maybe if i fall asleep to the alekhine playlist ill wake up speaking russian with a 2841 rating
well Alekhine is from France so mabye you will end up speaking French not Rrussian
The way you spell it you have to roll the r in Russian
THANK YOU!!
Three checkmate variations. WOW.
Max Euwe , by not castling when he had the opportunity , led to devastating consequences. That posted b4 dark B preventing Kside castling was more than a thorn in the side: it was a dagger.
Alekhine vs Euwe 1937 rematch game 6 is also pretty interesting
mato, are you going to do analysis from the Sinquefeild Cup? I saw it live and the games seemed pretty good.
I really ike the intonation of the comments for the games.
hahah loved it! keep them coming Mato!
tnx mato
Lol I cant wait till my next opportunity to say "I can't choose how to give checkmate" in Mato's voice.
5:54 was funny!
Alekhine is too sharp and analytical. Gifted to say the least.
brilliant
@6:55; I would choose Bb5#. I love Checkmating my opponent with a minor piece, or at least a pawn.
Alekhine always sees further ahead than his opponent!
Heroic and kind rook, bringing to the bishop food, water and medicine.
Alekhine's back!
MAn your voice is so scary. Are you from some Tim Burton film??? HHaha nice channel
I know this wont make any diffrence at this point but, at 5:34 woudnt it ended faster if white played Rxg7 instead of Rxa7? what does the computer say best move in that position?
Rxa7 - saving the private Ryan is the best. If Rxg7 Bf7 and the game would last longer
Of the three mating moves, I like Bxb5#
Mato do you have a twitter?
In modern times who plays closest to Alekhine's style?
Kasparov
How about if at 4:38 rook from 8 to e1, threatening pawn takes on d5 discover attack on the pinned queen, winning the queen? The only good square for the queen is g6 (every other square would result in losing the queen) and in that case the queen will not be able to defend her king.
Then you need to worry about the knight coming to d3 for a fork
Mato, you wrote Euwe twice in title
First he wrote Alekhine vs Euwe to indicate that in this game had A with white, E with black. Then - on the next line - Mato specified what the event was, namely Euwe Alekhine match for the world championship, which is what you read as Euwe beeing written twice. :)
Now practice precision for three months and in the meantime don't comment! :)
3 possible checkmates are. rook take queen. queen to e7 and bishop to b5.
How does Alekhine pull this everytime?

At :41 y not q a4 check winning bishop
that line mato looks Ivanchuk wen he is angry lol
One line goes like this. It's not the strongest line. You can find even a better line. Q e4 xD
Qe4 Qc7+ Ke8 Qe7#
at the end you could do if black queen didn't go to c7, Qc7+ Ke8(
If there isn't an open file to your opponent's king, create one.
I got first
It would be funny if alekhine spent extra time on the last move.
black did not castling!!!!
Six hundred and twenty first!
I think there is a much better move for white @ 5:24 instead of rooke takes pawn on a7 give check @ e7 with bishop then take pawn on f6 with bishop there is no move that can stop checkmate if black takes or defends with rook h8 Queen will take on f6 well to much to explain wonder what the computer would say? black would lose atleast the queen
3rd!
I choose mate with bishop.
I guess it is pronounced euve
Watching is easy but playing is not
hahahaha nice ending :D
I see 4 possible check mates
KDH H There are only three.
no, only 3 check mates in one. after Qc6 black has Kd8, and after Qxc8 black has Kf7.
Bishop is not satisfied with food , water and medicine...he needs hot chick
Mato u are too sadistic sometimes!
Stupid king chose dead rather than made a moving or made castling
