Nice game and a nice analysis again.
There were lots of possibilities in that game and I am happy I actually saw some of them before you mentioned them..=)
Not like I like Ahues position but I think the move 28. Rbc5 is a misstake I would rather have taken the knight at d5 and prolonging the pain that way (and then either capture at c8 or put the c1 rook at c5). Not sure how that works out though..=)
I actually pasted the pgn in the chessvideos.tv gamereplayer for my convenience maybe someone else like to have a look at it at the side aswell as I did..=)

HI
Nice video again.
OK, although it is some instruction rather for intermediate (not sooo advanced) players, perhaps, some (mostly opening and strategy) tips are also for stronger players quite good...
I did like the first analysis (of his own game) a bit more, I confess, especially the parts of strategical goals in the English opening, but this was good, too.
Thank you very much!

First of all, Fischer, there's more to chess then openings.
Another awesome video. I didn't see the Ng4 move at all it seemed to docile to work to me. But that's why I'm not Alekhine.
Also, I think you just explained EXACTLY why I keep losing winning positions in my games. (Especially with hanging queens and whatnot) and hopefully I can use that to keep a level head and actually win these won games.
I REALLY look forward to seeing the video on one of Capablanca's endgames. Should really help my lacking endgame play. Now lets just hurry and let next Friday get here!

Nice lesson again.
The sound seems to be weaker...and I need silence to hear it.
Thanks.

Thank you thank you thank you. I watch these videos and I feel like I'm somehow cheating. These videos are a great study into master level thinking put clearly so patzers can learn and enjoy.
I could watch these videos again and again.

Thank you Sir,
The time you took for this analysis does not go unappreciated. I have played for several years 6 and have beaten 1400 players and lost to 1000 players. This analysis taught me so much. Thanks again.

 Re: IM Chess Analysis: Ahues-Alekhine - Part 2 [31:09]
thank you for that eloquent intellectualization of the psychological problems we face when we lose "won" games. i didn't mean to be so wordy, but that's the only way i know how to describe what you said. when i was a class C player, i had an interesting win against an expert. we played a common sicilian najdorf line, but my lack of opening knowledge led to an awkward position. the position was about equal when i threatened a not-so-obvious tactical shot. he quickly played a losing sequence of moves and resigned soon after. anyway, after the game he was very friendly and approachable. however, he determined that he "blundered" and this led to his loss. your comment about players being satisfied with outplaying their opponents and then losing to something "tricky" reminded me of this experience. sometimes we lose because of 1-move blunders. however, more often than not, we mislabel a loss due to overconfidence, impatience, or as you said, not putting the same amount of energy into winning as we did to actually getting the winning position. i have been guilty of this many times.
thanks for the lecture.

 Re: IM Chess Analysis: Ahues-Alekhine - Part 2 [31:09]
 Obligado!! I don't think the level of the video is the most important. Rather it's the clarity with which you explain the concepts. It was also fun to watch and you tend to learn more if you are enjoying something. That's a lesson in itself. May I also compliment you on your beautiful English. The whole thing was a joy. I'm proud to say I spotted Re6! quickly even tho I'm only 1329. However I'm due to take a big leap at the end of the season after some excellent results. It's training videos like yours that are such a big help as well as making my own ones which helps in improving analytical ability. More please! Regards Bruce

 Re: IM Chess Analysis: Ahues-Alekhine - Part 2 [31:09]
Wow you described what almost happened in one of my games in which I decided to end my attack for the win of an exchange (which I think was the right move because I couldn't get my pieces into the attack easily) and made a mistake in the endgame that my opponent missed and would have led to a draw in a won position (I had a queen and a pawn against his rook and a pawn.)
By the way, are you going to do any videos on any of Kasparov's games?

 Re: IM Chess Analysis: Ahues-Alekhine - Part 2 [31:09]
Thanks for posting this video. Re: the attack, I read somewhere that the attacker needs to bring at least 3 pieces to bear on the opponent's king. The maneuver Re6-f6 actually brings the third piece into play, the other two being the queen and the knight. This seems to bear out the rule.
