What opening is that@15:23, 1.e4, Nf6 2. then here white skips a move the knight jumps illegally to e4 then captures the king, the knight actually captures the king, is that checkmate?
@KBoogs719 It's just a symbolic demonstration of the power of Alekhine's Defence. At this time, Mikenas was one of the leading theorists in this opening, and it was one of his most dangerous weapons with black against 1.e4
@jessicafischerqueen , im sorry jessica perhaps my sarcasm is misplaced, i am aware of the opening and the name of it, i just wanted to point out how the black knight moved first illegally then captured the king, without delivering check i might add, and then checkmated the king all by himself, i thought in a video of this quality such a mistake was glaring, thats all. I couldn't believe it was an actual mistake on ur part, so i was wondering, no offense intended, pardon me.
@KBoogs719 No worries, I certainly didn't take offense to your post. I did make that mistake on purpose as a visual dramatisation of Mikenas' prowess with Alekhine's defence.
It's rare that I come back to watch anything twice on youtube but Jessica's documentaries are great. Well done Jess! This one in particular about Nez is particularly good because he's pretty much unknown to many people but what a fantastic player Rashid was and his games will keep him immortal. Quite honestly FIDE should bestow the title of Grandmaster posthumously to Rashid Nezhmetdinov, he more than any other player deserves that title.
@marty0mart He is my man Richard Dewoskin, If you click on the "show more" button underneath the video, it will tell you who did what, exactly. Several of my friends helped me research this project.
Brilliantly well done bio videos! I have covered some nez games in my recent chessbase broadcast. I urge everyone to add this video to their favorites! One of my most high rated game videos ever was a nez game - positional queen sacrifice game vs chernikov.
@kingscrusher Thanks Kingscrusher, and thanks for your Radio Show yesterday on Nezhmetdinov too. Everyone please check out my youtube playlist "Nezhmetdinov by Kingscrusher" where Kingscrusher annotates several of Nezh's best brilliancies.
Jess, this is outstanding work by you and your team! But Richard deserves a special mention as he almost sounds like someone from eastern Europe! Remarkable work from all of you and I enjoyed it immensely.
Outstanding video, nicely paced and with wonderful archival footage. An unexpected bonus was hearing the correct pronunciation of so many names that I've been getting wrong all these years! Well worth watching. Pity they can't award him a retrospective GM title.
@isedairi Yes the counter-revolution led by the "White Army" ended in 1921, but the Civil war raged on for two more years, as the Bolshevik army crushed the "Black Army," anarchists based mainly in the Ukraine and in the Volga basin, from 1921-1923. So in total the Russian Civil War is normally dated from October 1917 (Kerensky uprising) until the defeat of the anarchist army in 1923.

Terrific effort! The resolution is superb and the narration is flawless. As usual, your choice of images is beautiful.
I love the story about the speed player getting waxed by Nesh at Tal's house thinking he's Tal's uncle. That kind of vignette enriches the experience.
