I lot of mistakes near the, Andrea should have used her rook more and then near the end when she has one (or maybe two) passing pawn if she would just move the king and bishop and leave the rook stopping the king. She blunders her rook again !!! oy vey! She had him on the ropes from several possible attacks near the end.
congratulations to that man for being sober for that long. usually when someone randomly tells you how long they've been sober, it means because it's a big deal to them and they're proud of it. I personally know good people that has to have a drink to stop from shaking
yuh. I thought this video would just be some funny dialogue while playing chess. I cried, seeing this guy clearly going through it but beginning to make things better. this was... inspiring. just this real ass conversation.
I started watching the Botez sisters on random chance and have been thoroughly entertained nightly every since. Alex for brains, pure beauty, banter, Andrea for cuteness overload, shenanigans, and trash talking.
As a french defense player, this was super fun to watch. I found your channel from Dr Mike, and when I saw that you two were chess players, I knew I had to watch. One of the weirdest french games I've seen. =)
Having almost died due to COVID last year, I had to do much the same thing in regards diet, because I discovered I have type 2 diabetes when in the hospital. I respect Paul for both changing his diet to become more healthy, and really respect him for his 14 days sobriety with no Vodka. That's literally a water replacement staple for Russians. GG to both Alex and Paul!
“What’s next, Paul? You’re getting into the best physical and mental snap of your life!” Love this woman’s banter it’s such a balance of amusement and “musement” lol
These park chess players are not really hustlers. Hustling, at least in the pool context, involves someone sandbagging a few games at lower stakes, increasing the stakes, and then their true skill comes out. With these guys, you are paying for their time.
Alex is one of my favorite talkers. I don't know how she does it. Nemsko & Anna Cramling are funny too. Tbh, they all seem to play otb much better than their rating. Always entertaining Chess.
Your videos are outstanding chess glam, Andrea is hidden Alexa’s fan, yes it’s addictive like xxx slam… Sending my greeting to hustler Paul for being sober and holding his ball and to Andrea for not hiding her beast and showing to us how to win/loose like this If despite insults we play chess and hustle till kings last move or last spike of heart muscle one day drunken Magnus might visit your castle
Alexandra is so personable & kind. You know it's probably not every day that this man gets to play chess with a beautiful young woman; I'm sure her kindness & conversation really made his day.
My first game vs Russian Paul from one year ago: ua-cam.com/video/EcZ1OCJECvY/v-deo.html
What’s the best chess movie/show?
My angel wins!
I love you Alexandra 💗😘

Alex - Hope you post more of these vids where you are playing the parks. I like them a lot

DT, you are already pretty F'd if you get it.
Meanwhile, stop drink vodka is good for anyone. It is like drinking 8 of those white claws.
Good point, Bill. Never thought of that but i can imagine
ooooooor that was a joke
@@toriless Depending on the Alcoholism severity, you can die from alcohol withdrawals. Your internal organs will literally shut-down.
No "good person" is an alcoholic
"You may not like it, but you gotta do something"
That's probably the most motivating thing I heard recently.
The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

This guy is really sweet. Glad to see he’s happy and healthy.
His power level is increasing
Yes
yes
So beautiful .......she winning the time
But he lost
3000 Russian rating?
you look like you lost weight, " I didn't have Vodka in 14 days" lmao😂
“Wow”
Boston Mike use lost weight and dehydration synonymously😅
Well he's russian, it's a big thing
And no French fries 🍟
russian extreme diet
This is so cool to see Paul smashing life. One of my fav things is seeing a person doing things that are steps towards improvements.
yuh. I thought this video would just be some funny dialogue while playing chess. I cried, seeing this guy clearly going through it but beginning to make things better. this was... inspiring. just this real ass conversation.
I love how he was just doing exactly what she said he would do at first and then asking her what to do next
Why do I keep watching these silly matches - all the way to the end! Keep up with the good entertainment .....
Paul's looking and sounding a ton better than previously. And his game's (mostly) better IMO. Good to see.
He hasn't had any vodka for 14 days...that's a lifetime for a Russian
Yes, the level of infant care in Russia is alarming.
😆 🤣 😂
You know he's serious if he's counting the days.
@@EnoVarma
He also said he had been studying chess for a few days...
It’s fun to watch how fast they play at the end and talk at the same time making quick thinking moves.

yes bro
Yeah. That's exactly it.
The girl standing behind Alex at the end of the game is The World Speed Chess Champion of 2049
Paul missed a very good opportunity,.
It's always fun to watch you both, can't believe it's been a year already.
As a french defense player, this was super fun to watch. I found your channel from Dr Mike, and when I saw that you two were chess players, I knew I had to watch. One of the weirdest french games I've seen. =)
I love this guy, he’s freaking hilarious. 😂❤️
Paul looks good. Love the match up between you two
They Good partners.good atmosphere
She looks better.
Mans gave up vodka and French fries then underwent a training montage to defeat you
He’ll be back stronger next time
I never miss French Fries either. I agree on that part too.
It’s amazingly that Alex can talk and think at the same time and they are equally great.
Nice work staying sober!
Exciting game at the end.
He really did lose weight, I'm happy for him
"I just make a move and not worry about it"
Man that's the kind of confidence I need in my life
looks like much fun. and the playing strength seems to be very similar, which makes the game exciting
Sill matches? Say that to the boy whose finger was broken by a robot.
This lad is a one solid legend
Nicely 👍. Conversation can be a great distraction. Specifically when beauty is involved lol
That was AWESOME! Great game, kid! I'm such a fan.
This guy has the perfect outlook on life right here at the chess board.
This was so much fun to watch! Thank you guys!
Nice game Alexandria! It was tough.
Having almost died due to COVID last year, I had to do much the same thing in regards diet, because I discovered I have type 2 diabetes when in the hospital. I respect Paul for both changing his diet to become more healthy, and really respect him for his 14 days sobriety with no Vodka. That's literally a water replacement staple for Russians. GG to both Alex and Paul!
Fun game to watch he missed a great opportunity but still a fun game to watch
fr, he should've chosen to fly with Elon Musk
I don't think asking her out was in his plans
He looks much happier and healthier. Too bad he lost on time! All the best to him!
8:09 moves the knight from the square next to the king and says "check" hahaha dead
i would straight up love and interview chess game with Paul, he seems like an interesting dude, hope he stays sober!
The one guy in the back just staring at them 😂
Alexandra, you made it the MOST exciting game I've ever seen!! Thanks for a great show!!!
You mean the most exciting game in the history of the game? Or just from Alexandra's games?
“What’s next, Paul?
You’re getting into the best physical and mental snap of your life!”
Love this woman’s banter it’s such a balance of amusement and “musement” lol
It’s what was about to be said literallly after that took the cake. If it wasn’t for the botez sister getting distracted for a sec
Absolutely wonderful to witness

Damn she is so confident, baddie with a brilliant mind
Exciting Great Game .... !!! so intense as the time counts down ...
i am hoping to play in the same stop over Xmas this year !
very close and entertaing in the end
You are both amazing
Seems like the nicest dude.
Y’all should have a minicam on the clock.
Your best rival Alex ! It was on the Money time !!! Good game !
Outdoor matches are always interesting
the weather is fine
There's a difference between listening and reacting to one another, that's all I get from this.
Alex is one of my favorite talkers. I don't know how she does it. Nemsko & Anna Cramling are funny too. Tbh, they all seem to play otb much better than their rating. Always entertaining Chess.
you underestimate their ratings. 2100-2300 FIDE is no casual
@@JimmyBoosterCrate yeah thanks, but I know all of their ratings. Nemsko is the highest.
@@carlo_cali Making a claim that they play "much better" than their master-level ratings is very far-fetched.
You should interview Paul love to know his story ay.
This guy reminds me of rodney dangerfield out of caddy shack😆😆
You two just got me into chess and I'm 25
The salty french fries and vodka combo :D
You know in the first game he developed his bishop so that Alex couldn't castle, he said his teacher taught him that, I never forgot.
This banter had me laughing the whole game
I'm glad u beat him ...he is starting to take himself too seriously
I’ve played Paul many times ... It didn’t go well 😐
Beautiful game and smile! How can you play blitz and flirt at the same time? That's so cool! Love it!
This brought a smile to my face. Thank you ^^
The ending was insane :D.
That first game was one year ago. Where is my time???????
“Maybe we trade” 🤣
Finally , I loved the game
Your videos are outstanding chess glam, Andrea is hidden Alexa’s fan, yes it’s addictive like xxx slam…
Sending my greeting to hustler Paul for being sober and holding his ball and to Andrea for not hiding her beast and showing to us how to win/loose like this
If despite insults we play chess and hustle till kings last move or last spike of heart muscle
one day drunken Magnus might visit your castle
"What do you miss more the Vodka or the French fries 🥖🥳"-. That's 💯 Awesome 😂👍
Thank you for this content 🙂
It's amazing that street hustlers play at the same level as FIDE master. Respect.
lol love the banter
In this video, the beauty of chess is visualised in a very different way. ♥
perfect day
"Sad stories" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wasn't ready for that line.
Alexandra is so personable & kind. You know it's probably not every day that this man gets to play chess with a beautiful young woman; I'm sure her kindness & conversation really made his day.
😑
Well played even whith few seconds left. Keep going Alex
Younger people are just faster, he had no chance in the time scramble tbh
great vid. I like that grumpy old man
7:21 the moment when 50Cent takes a sneaky pic of you
love the conversation
Ah yes, the good old day
I have seen Paul reading a chess book or two. In fact, he was very interested in Kramniks book.
This was a long time ago, of course.
Paul... sweet man... makes me think of Eeyore the donkey in Winnie the Pooh books. Such Sad Sack looks!!
1:41 Elon has a bussy schedule working for the Kabalah.
Nice game!
one exciting last minute
He needs Vodka to win 🏆
The inventor of botez gambit, the most played gambit by people rated under 1000
Don't listen to all that jibba jabba Paul! She's a hustler!
Daaamn Andrea looking good
Well played
He looks like a cross between Boston Mike and Jeff Ross 😄
Love the videos, huge love from Australia.
I didn’t know Robin from HIMYM played chess!
Russian Paul training arc
Is that GM Canty behind you at the end?
Rejected the trade, friendship over after 5 minutes at least he didn’t leave and call an Uber
Very good post !
at the end, he says 'i lost because of your sad stories' ...
he knew they were his sad stories.. :(
Russian giving up vodka is myth
One of many. About russians
14 days is hardly "giving up"...I'd like to see his LFT results
Boston Mike Come back From Coma!!!
The car's noises at the beginning reminds me of an eminem song..
