Game 2 honestly felt like a gm-level endgame from Alex. Acknowledge the draw, bait the force, punish the mistake, win the opposition. She saw it quickly and played it confidently. Obviously I'm not good enough at chess to say something like that authoritatively but it really felt like Hikaru would've played the same moves from 5:40 on
Anna had to. She failed. Couldn't. Didn't you see? Anna is not a great observing player. Alex deserved those win. Usually Anna is better thanAlex. Obviously Andrea too as Andrea is weaker than Alex. But practice made the difference & Alex proved it multiple times. Hammar or whoever is Alex's coach is also a coach for Magnus. That's better than having two grandmasters as parents. Still Anna is good but she has a lot to improve. Magnus made a draw when he was 7 against then champion Garry. Magnus still is learning even though many consider him to be the goat. Yet, learning has no limit. That applies to all. So, good luck to all. Keep going. Never give up. First defeat the inner demon within yourself that tells you to give up &come up with reasons like physical pain, public shame, family members opposing,health issue etc as obstacle. Just make the correct decision giving a lots of thought. Once you overcome those everybody wil clap for you & some will blow whistle with their mouth out of joy & pride who are close to you. Again good luck. God bless.
This is the most exciting to me. Same with Hikaru playing classical again. Take more effort on their part than to just continually play bullet and blitz games online but it's more rewarding to see people you know climbing the classical ranks and doing well in big tournaments.
Alexandra walks into HS chess club, mops the the guys up, and they are bogeyed and sweating. Anna does the same, teaching, coaching, and encouraging along the way. They think Anna is a teacher. Both young women are good for chess.
Wonderful response about the hat at the end. Anna asking for a game without the hat, and Alex refusing. Give her props as she said: "No Anna's harmed in this process! :) Thanks, Alex.
Following this channel made me fall back in love with chess and added it to my list of hobbies for the first time since middle school and the chess club and while i don't get to play often i do really enjoy getting to play online and once in a while on Sunday's if i can get out of church after the service to go play with the old timers in a small park nearby
You two are great! Keep on building together. You are two of the brightest lights on the internet in a time where there isn't enough laughter and camaraderie. Maybe chess can save the world!
Botez rising! Now TBH, Anna is one of my favorite players, but here Alexandra's calculating in game 1 was very strong and consistent. Dare I say maybe above rating? I also didn't know her online rating is noticeably higher. And the hat is better too. Competition is good, this could be one of the classic chess rivalries, and NGL even though it's part of the game, gotta watch that trash talk. Let your play do the talking. And yes you should play each other more, these games were excellent.
Is it me? or those people, Magnus, those ladies, Dina like collaborate and give us a great show on youtube and for myself, I am hooked! I watch those videos one after the other. I don't even really believe all that trash talk, like I don't feel any toxic energy or whatever, just great competition with loads of fun.
Bună, la 09:57 am observat un "pas" mai reușit (pe care probabil nu l-ai observat din motiv că- presupun că câteodată nu acorzi concentrație destulă înaintea fiecărei decizie/pas). Dar, fie... poate nu asta a fost cel mai important, în situația ceea (în sensul creării videoului). Succese.
@@IDKLOL-vw9yy bro I’d fall for anyone with eyes like that her father must have been a thief …..because he stole the stars ✨ and put them in her eyes 👀 😂
For some reason when I see a video where Anna, Alex or Andrea are together, I need to watch it !!! and I know something fun is going to happen. I love these 3 girls
This is interesting.......fun and amazing match between 2 amazing/ beautiful chess players Anna Cramling and Alexandra Botez Let the best chess match begin😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The balance of the universe is restored! Edit: Next let's see you coach your sister into not losing an adoption match to Anna. Or if you can figure out a way to compare your coaching of her to Dina's.
I just realized that Anna was wearing a hat at the beginning. Clearly Anna only lost because she took the hat off. That's disappointing. We need to see a rematch.
@@Trunks1x i meant g5 lmao can’t even go g7 coz there’s pawn there. On g5, it calls check and then anna has to move king so alex queen takes white rook.
I've, recently, started watching these chess games on UA-cam. I've watched a lot more of Anna's games. However, I have no favorite. What I like, about this video, is Alex's strong work ethic, and determination. She had lost lots of games, to Anna, and put in the work to come back, and defeat her. Congratulations, Alex. Your hard work paid off.
I just wanna say I love you guys so much. I almost forgot how fun and exhilarating the game of chess is. It was once my dream to be a grandmaster and as I grew older I have forgotten that dream along with my talent and enthusiasm in playing chess. You and Andrea and your community has re-ignited that 🔥 in my ❤. Love you guys, I hope I can meet you someday and play the kind of chess you guys are playing now.
I''m loving watching chess videos and I don't think I've played a complete match in my life. I barely know the rules, but for some reason this is very entertaining xD
My Botez is a strong chess player Anna is charming chess player. It is great to see two women playing chess and challenging each other. Love the hats! These people make chess a noir game! Mean boards and dark pieces.
Anna, Botez sisters, hikaru and Magnus are bringing chess to a wider population. Awesome

Lol Anna lost quite a bit of elo by losing 5 games in a row, I am sure that she didn't let Alex win, she just simply and fairly lost
Calm, collected, confident. I think this is the best frame of mind ive ever seen Alex in.

Confident but not complacent too
Ana and Alex are both working at improving their chess skills and returning to the tournament scene. An ongoing rivalry would be fun to watch.

u can see that she is trying her best when there is no botez gambit

They're both great, but Anna is so sweet, humble and mild-mannered that I definitely root for her.
Yes..while the other is arrogant. Can't like her.
funny how different we are. I can't stand watching Anna
@@thejohnnytapia123 your comment is actually arrogant, not her
Her mom is a serious assassin GM killer

So glad you are friends with Anna; great match and Alex was smokin' today. It was the hat! So smart, fun and entertaining. Love the Botez sisters.

Hikaru and Levi laughing at their screen
Happy to see both wearing lucky hats 🎩 in the first game. Anna might think of finding another one though 😳
if I had the chance to choose between Anna or Alex I would slap myself and wake up
as an australian hearing alex randomly say 'some bloke' cracked me right up
'she found the resign button!' 😂😂

This is quite impressive and not anywhere near what I expected. Now I am so confused.
No Anna's were harmed in the making of this video got me cracking up
How did Anna lose after she stalemated with their coach Hammer
"after I saw that Anna lost to some bloke named Magnus, I figured, hey! I guess ANYONE can beat her" Lmao I died
First time I have seen Alex take chess seriously
With this hat: instant grandmaster.
“Some bloke named Magnus”
- “99 missed calls from Magnus Carlsen”
I tought Anna would win at least 2, well great game girls
Impressive games, and very entertaining! I loved Alex’s comment at 10:56: “I am trying to win again, but I don’t want to win by making bad moves.” 😂😂

It was so nice watching this video... I was really proud of Alex for some reason...
Anna will rematch her and crush her,AC is such a good sport,class act 😺
Alex took her to the cleaners, damn!
That's what you get for messing with Andrea... 😂
Anna is the loveliest person I've ever seen ❤
Turns out Anna bit off more than she could chew challenging Alexandra.
Ngl the "I'm gonna take her seriously this time" is a bit of a jab 😂😂

You took exception to her saying she wanted to adopt you. Lol.

Hi Alex, what is chess platform you used to play and live stream? I like the "orange arrow" guide, Thanks.
I appreciate you guys following the common UA-cam trends. From thumbnails to title.

Botez might win a chess game but Anna wins our hearts ❤
"Now I'm gonna bring in the pony!" I'm dying... xD
Anna will bounce back even stronger from this😵💫🤩😀
I don't care who wins or loses, I just like watching attractive young women destroy each other 🔪💞
0:31 "which is my job only" 😂😂
No Botez gambit in 5 straight games? That hat is witchcraft
I like the never give up idea with 2 pieces left.
It is a good way to try different strategic moves to see how to win with.

So sweet to give the credit to the hat, and thus save all Annas from harm.

Edit: Next let's see you coach your sister into not losing an adoption match to Anna. Or if you can figure out a way to compare your coaching of her to Dina's.
I just realized that Anna was wearing a hat at the beginning.
Clearly Anna only lost because she took the hat off.
That's disappointing. We need to see a rematch.
Your evil laugh was hilarious at between 2:08 and 2:12. You do good commentary. Thank you for showing your chess. It's educational for sure. 😊
i love the use of the phrase "trash talking"
Botez won my respect here
Boshi too plays the Botez gambit
I don't think Alex can defeat her
*Botez, Sometimes all a person needs is a little motivation to bring out the best in them.*
3:09 what happened to Alex black queen and rook? It looks like they just disappeared? I’m so confused? Premoves? But what took it?!
I was clickbaited into fake drama
This is the best I have ever seen Alex play.
Alex is getting better and even funnier.
true
thank you
At 10:07, you could’ve done Queen G5 to fork the king and rook. Free rook there.
she's playing with black also that's straight up checkmate
@@Trunks1x wait u r saying white missed a checkmaye on alex??
@@Trunks1x i meant g5 lmao can’t even go g7 coz there’s pawn there.
On g5, it calls check and then anna has to move king so alex queen takes white rook.
Some of the best chess I’ve seen from Alex. I think the lucky hat is a good look.
Well at least her opponent never fell asleep while beating her over the board
I have to admit that, being a big fan of Anna's channel, I was rooting for her to win.
But Alex played well. And she looks good in the Fedora.
I've, recently, started watching these chess games on UA-cam. I've watched a lot more of Anna's games. However, I have no favorite.

Anna adopted your sister and you adopted Anna. Does that make your sister your granddaughter?
Things that make you go hmmm.
There's an old song (available on UA-cam) called 'I'm my own Grandpa' :)
“Some bloke named Magnus”
Yeah, that’s just Magnus Carlsen, no big deal.
This was some CLEAN chess right here
When Alex put it to work it’s really awesome
Well done! Nice revenge match! I hope Anna posts this too! The saga continues…
