Sep 4, 2010 - In the past our teachers were always the grandmasters and worldchampions, nowadays our teachers are the computers. They play , solve and compose . So have a look at youtube.com : /watch?v=mwYQRteeHbE

Nov 24, 2010 - HELLO JESSICA MY FATHER, CHESSMASTER AND PROBLEM COMPOSER RUI NASCIMENTO, NOW 96 YEARS OLD, HAS BEEN A FRIEND OF A. ALEKHINE HERE AT ESTORIL, PORTUGAL, UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1956. SOMETIMES, MY FATHER PAYED A DRINK TO ALEKHINE, WHO AS AN EXILATED MAN, LACKED MONEY DURING THOSE TIMES. ALEKHINE OFFERED MY FATHER THE MANUSCRIPT OF A CONFERENCE, IN FRENCH, WHICH THE RUSSIAN GRANDMASTER GAVE HERE IN PORTUGAL.
ASPASIALISBOA Says:

corkystorky Says:
Feb 8, 2011 - why are the fide campeons included in the classical list of world champions? fide campeons are like WWE champs but the World Heavyweight Champ is considered the greatest. khalifman, when he became fide champ, obviously is never in the same classical champions league as kasparov.

Jun 9, 2011 - At 9:26 the name of Alekhin [born 1892; died 1946] appears and is followed by 1876 - 1956. What do these figures mean?
jessicafischerqueen Says:
Jun 10, 2011 - It means I entered the incorrect birth and death dates- thanks very much for pointing that out. I didn't realize I had made a mistake till your post today.
tigranvartanovitch Says:
Sep 5, 2011 - Now I'm no conspiracy theorist, BUT it seems strange that Alekhine would be sitting in an armchair in an hotel room in front of a finished meal in his overcoat. Maybe he was cold. Maybe he was about to go out. Maybe he had been out and had just returned. Maybe he had died outside and had been brought back by (a) person(s) unknown. We will probably never know the truth.

Jan 19, 2012 - Thanks for this marvelous film (videos 1-5) depicting this titan of chess. I loved the pace, and found it utterly absorbing.

Apr 27, 2012 - He advocated that you must only be born with chess vision and refuted that it could not be developed by hardwork. This was a lie.
damthatriver09 Says:
Apr 27, 2012 - Imagine one day you're in these kind of videos, unforgotten, but gone.
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
