This brings us to the conclusion of the mini San Remo saga - hope you enjoyed it. If you have any other games you would like me to cover, use that #suggesiton :)

Antonio, I've been watching your channel for 5 years now, and your analysis has steadily gone from Good to Excellent to Unmissable! Congratulations, and keep it coming!

[theotherjoedimaggio]

What a beautiful game. Sure, Alekhine might be playing "lazy" chess, but its so beautiful in how he sees far enough ahead to recognize that he's winning, and just plays the good moves to ensure he's winning without out-thinking himself. The confidence it takes. Fantastic.

[Xeasar]

Gledam tvoj kanal vec godinama. Probao sam pre neki dan da gledam najpoznatijeg streamera saha, i bukvalno ne mogu da verujem koja razlika. Toliko vice, prenemaze se, glupira, razumem da to sve privlaci decu, ali mi je jako drago sto postoji neko ko ovako dzentlmenski pokriva ovu igru. Hvala Antonio.

[dimitriosdoulgeris]

There's probably no bigger insult than being called an Uncle's piece. Poor bishop.

[michaelmassaro]

Great game Great photos Alekhine was such a powerful player he seemed to just plow ahead clearing a path to victory he laid waste to the rest of the field Thanks for the Saga Agadmator Fantastic

[leonardcharlesnew]

Amazing to think how many openings were named after these great masters from way back then and still relevant now i.e. ‘nimzo’, ‘rubenstein variation’, ‘colle system’, ‘maroczy bind’ and so on..

[ramachandra]

That is Alekhine's third wife, Nadiezda Vasiliev whom he divorced before marrying his fourth and final wife, Grace . It was Alekhine's concern for Grace who was trapped in German occupied France during WW2 which led to his cosying up to Nazi top brass and led him down a very dark path which may have played a probable role in Alekhine's suspicious death .

[hothothoth]

The conclusion is that Alekhine was wearing jeans the whole time

[marthadunkley]

"Everyone won at least one game, it wasn't a sad tournament at all" a fine sentiment for the new year.

[dunemeister]

Need a girl who treats me as well as Agadmator treats “arguably the best player to never be world champion” the great Akiba Rubinstein

[Attlanttizz]

That bellhop looking perfect on this photo and the other ones

[willglaesser]

I really like these old tournament coverages

[UnknownUser-jn]

Conclusion so soon? 🤐 We were really enjoying the videos from this tournament. Hope you make more videos of classic tournaments. They hold a special appeal.

[GeraldM_inNC]

We haven't seen Mr. Hoodie Guy in a while.

[MaxDavydov-rk]

@agadmator please cover Bled tournament, incredible performance by Alekhine there as well!

[BobbyFischer]

Incredible classic picture at the end of Nimzowitsch and Grau at the board.

[BillHimmel]

What a beautiful ending combination - simple, elegant and practical! I was very impressed with what I saw from Alekhine in this tournament. According to Fisher, he was a total bore of a player, but this doesn't hold up to what I have witnessed here!

[johndeever]

I, barely even an Uncle Bishop, enjoyed this mini saga so much.

[MINERIACIELOABIERTO]

in argentina, we all learned chess from Grau's books when I was young.
