His Opponent is Famous for Losing this Game. You've earned this.
His Opponent is famous for losing this game. What happened in 1938 is as much exquisite as a secret masterpiece. Sit back and fathom the brilliance of this sharp style that is Alexander Alekhine.

No the Alekhine system is e4 in this game e3 is played
If Alekhine was alive today I just know he would have the sickest of chess youtube channels

Sacrificing on intuition takes incredible confidence, which Morphy, Alekhine, Tal & Kasparov fortunately had & which allowed them to produce so many beautiful brilliancies. Bravo for intuition!

I dont buy that. Alekhine could computer 20 moves in his head. Surely he would check one or two variations.

Doubtful, his comment diminished his own calculating ability. GMs in general like to cultivate the myth that they calculate everything, however, some of the greatest players occasionally admit they calculate to a degree, and if can’t see everything, still will proceed on intuition, particularly when their clock is ticking. Some of Kasparov’s most famous sacrifices were done on intuition and general assessment of position. Seems Alekhine and Tal did so too. Key is having excellent grasp of chess principles, the courage to trust one’s calculations, and to follow one’s intuition for whatever has not been calculated all the way to mate.
Guys , I’m serious The ending, after hearing what both legends said … gave me goosebumps ❤️

I mean intuition has a role in chess as well, you can't always deduce a result based on calculations

Thank you Jack!
I like the way you explain things. I'm 60 and haven't played much since 6th grade. I decided to take it back up to keep my brain working. The way you lay out all the alternative moves and the why of it all are most illuminating. I subscribed and will examine your back catalog. Very good channel.
Honestly far more enjoyably delivered vs any Levy + Agadmator analysis.. the anecdotes are beyond clutch. Super well done and hope for more! All the best Zach!
Great editing style!! I can tell you put a lot of work into this.
Aljechin was alcohol addicted at the time he played Euwe in the first match. Before the second match he got rid of the bottle. There are stories he misbehaved like Gerard Depardieu....
Once more an amazing game so well analyzed, thank you dude!
I want to become as passionate in chess as you Zach, but I started late in 16 so it is hard to juggle between irl responsibilities and chess training, hope you earn your success as a master and keep spreading the love for chess!❤

i just now clicked on this video and seeing that its 20 minutes makes me feel like its gonna be a spectacular game!
Even more amazing game of Alekhine is when he played king's gambit and sacrificed his queen
You are such fun to watch. Constantly amazed at your own narrative! Nothing sells like enthusiasm…
Isn't Alekhine also "acused" of consuming a lot of alcohol during the match he lost against Max Euwe which I could imagine led to the cockiness. Cool vid
Last time I won, MY opponent was split into 1,001 pieces!
Any player who voluntarily went into complex postitions vs Alekhine was asking for trouble.
I love the way you break down these games. I'm familiar with many of the names you mention because as a child I stumbled across a thin paperback by Harry Golombek, a somewhat lesser-known British champion from the same era as Alekhine. Golombek included many games in this book by the masters of his time. To hear these names again via your channel is a real blast from the past.
An absolute pin by definition doesn't have to include a battering piece with it. All it requires is pinning a piece to the king.
Love your videos..❤❤from malaysia..your way of narratetting is very humble and clear..😊

The ending to that story is so brutal! Love it
E5 is a resignable offence 😂😂😂
Brilliant video. Your enthusiasm is great.
i just love these famous chess games videos of yours. i wish to see moreee❤
I honestly think that is the best video you have ever uploaded
Because TCN is *TERRIBLE* at explaining and clarifying these things, let me help you: 1) Alekhine's opponent is *a Finnish player -- Eero Einar Böök* . (clarifying because he never names him explicitly; weirdly, calls him *"BURKE"* [..or something ?!..] several times in the video...) 2) The game ended at *22:33**, where Black RESIGNED after Alekhine's e5 move.* Hope this helps you !! :)
19:34 It actually sacrifices FOUR pieces: the bishops on f4 and a4, the queen on d3 and the knight on f7.
That queen sacrifice actually was sacrifice every single piece on the board exept the rook
This game was fascinating and I especially appreciated the conversation at the end between Najdorf and Alekhine. It is reaffirming to me that the moves got so advanced that even these incredible grandmasters needed their intuition rather than solely there calculational skills to choose the best next move. Would Capablanca, Tal or Fisher have done the calculation to the end? What is your guess?
Great video man!! Would love if u also put PGN of these games in the description.
So fun! I love your stories while presenting to us the most beautiful games ever after 👏👏👏😀
Great work again!!This game of grandmaster analyse with all your chess knowledge is very appreciate.Small suggestion Analyse Kasparov games 1 by week just for help us to understand how much brillant was that great GM,fighting chess is my style of play but i think no one i know and i see many grand master games master so much this crucial part of the game!Thank you Zach!
Amazing presentation in a story form, Zac!! Just please always give the losing player's name & year of the game, without fail:)

2:00 To refute a gambit, you must accept the gambit first.
funn fact: it was a queens gambit accepted to declined then it changed back to accepted
Alekhine is a magician player
Thanks for this gem zach!
Such a beautiful gem in chess. Thank you ❤
Alright fuck I don't like most chess pages. The big names really don't do it for me. I can't even enjoy watching hikaru cause he's just too quick for me But you and Chess Vibes make high level play accessible for my 700 elo ass. So glad I found you both

Love your precise and concise commentary. They help a beginner like me understand how chess should be played. HOWEVER, YOU SPOILED EVERYTHING BY OVER EMPHASISING (OFTEN REPEATING WORDS AND PHRASES UNNECESSARILY. THEN YOU ADD THE EMOTIONAL ELEMENT. The result - a great analysis becomes distracting.
Shalom an Hello: I like your narrative and your underrated channel ✌️😎👍👌
I really liked your films but lets be clear it has been Miguel Najdorf since he moved away. He was Pole and his real name was Mieczysław. :) I'm proud of him.
QGA is not "rare these days" at all. It is alive and kicking as it always was.
Wow that 2400 also unlocked next level editing😊
Your way of telling omg 😂
There is no way you said the queens gambit is refuted at 2:00 and even if you meant the queens gambit accepted, it is most definitely not refuted. That is completely crazy
Nice content.. Greetings from the Philippines mabuhay and God bless...
Best explanation. Keep it up. 🎉
'The Queen's Gambit is now refuted' I didn't know that, could you provide references or moves? as well as who proclaimed this and approximately when? and for which side, do you mean Black is not supposed to take the pawn if he wants equality, or White is not supposed to play 2.c4 My apologies for asking such a basic question, I have not played for decades, but I am skilled.
Amazing story and game.
WHAT A CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY GAME.
Man! Yes the gane is insame (pun intended), but your voice is soooooo hypnotically calm! And i thought i was the only one accused of it! Good job!

These elite players are literally human calculators, it should be humany possible to process do much information and game plan! I'm a very new player (maybe 10 weeks in), but as said, this level of memory and visualisation shouldn't be within human limits, brains need to be studied.

Great analysis of the games. I'd suggest that you put the players' names on the screen. Also, no need to remove the board and go full screen on some comments.

25:55 You meant 1937 when you said 1939. Incidentally, it is illegal to talk about your game during play, even if Najdorf said nothing at the time, Alexander should say nothing during the game.
Great
I have been a fan of Alekhine since first encountering him in Great chess upsets by Samuel Reshevsky.

I like your content, but it would be better if you could sit back and talk, show us hand gestures and sooo. Change the board color and pieces, Use lichess's main board color. 90% in the thumbnail is good but Add the mindblowing move in the game, that will attract more audience. And the video is tooo lengthy. Max 15-20 min, please refer other channels especially chess guru, agadmator. Any ways good luck. Hope you reach 1 million soon.
