Botez: actual analysis of the game from her pov
Finegold: *Go Ben*
cesgist majernh Thats why Ben is so much fun to watch...😂
Ben's old videos made me a fan of chess. I never thought watching someone trash talk little kids could be so funny.
@@mg8383ffdryhh I love that humor because it's old school gamer humor, or like trash talk to other person that can't shoot the arrow at the target as well or lift a stone or run as fast. It's an age old humor that made us competitive, there should be no harm in a little joke. My friend's dad used to be trash at games, but he'd *ALWAYS* trash talk, even though he knew he was new to the game. Was the funniest thing ever.
go ben
32:15
Botez: All planned.
Ben: Still Theory.
i don't get it, are they saying opposite thing or what ?
@@alix8813 it means botez thought she was inventing the moves she was doing and was in original control but ben is saying that this all been done before, predictable ending. Shows the gap in experience
@@shroomsopenminds3623it's funny because it's not theory
holy shit such a handsome player playing alexandra
He is gotten a lot more healthier lately.
Hahahahqha
Such a beautiful chess player. I didn’t even watch the game. The eyes were far too mesmerising for me. This is beauty that Shakespeare wrote about and what gave Manet inspiration to paint like he did. How anyone can play a game of chess against such a divine being is beyond me. I love you Ben Finegold....you handsome beast.
Damn bro, you need to get laid.
Congratulations on the 100th time that joke has been done
@@albertojaimes1137 Wasn't a joke. Was truth.
Truth is worth repeating.
But no, it's normal to be sending your money to females on the internet.
They had us in the first half aint gonna lie
What the fuck is this?
His secret lies in hydration
Karen with the Perrier assist
"She's not hanging her queen. Where's the Botez Gambit when you need it?"
At some point there was a pattern..
Ben having a winning position, Alexandra loses on time, Ben makes a random noise of happiness, takes a sip and asks for the new score..
Ben's chat and spelling 'loose' and 'lose' wrong all the time.
Better love story than Twilight!
@@Hilltycoon thanks for pointing that out, non native english speaker here..
the pattern was just basically watching her lose in different openings lol ..made her look like a child
i feel like ben was boosted by the glasses he plays like a 2700
Zelf Boom 😂😂😂
hahahah :D
3700
Which means, he played blindfolded without telling the last year ;)
No one can match Ben in trashtalking!!! GO BEN! RAAAAAAWRRRR
28:38 Best checkmate I've seen in a long time.
It was so good
Ben is like the crazy old man on the bridge in monty python and the holy grail: "Any chess streamer who will successful be, must play a bullet match with me". I hope a 70 year old Ben will still be playing all the young streamers in the future. It's almost a rite of passage.
Botez gambit is my one of the favorite tactics, but after this video I understood that Botez Gambit Declined is superior.
What exactly's the Botez gambit, flagging?
@@matthewrogers2570 blundering the queen
Go Ben but stay here
Rawrrrrrr rawrrrrrr
Sometimes I wake up wishing that the world championships of chess were half this entertaining.
"Let's go for some cheap tricks here"
But tricks are for kids?
Watching this with headphones is frankly amazing
this is one of the few times that i appreciate strong panning
I really thought those muffins I ate had some weird shit on them after hitting play, holy.
Cuz you can hear Ben.
42:42 was the most instructive moment all week for me.
44:25 that was INSAAAAANEEEE
28:54 Botez's face really says it all. Definite ouch.
Two years later and it still hurts!
2400 vs. 2000, I might actually watch this just to see a massacre.
@@MrHaro187 2600 vs 1900
@Caped Baldy well if you wanna be super specific about it, it's 2501 vs 2059 (current blitz ratings for Finegold and Botez respectively)
Their standart ratings are 2446 and 2020 respectively.
The shade this wfm is throwing at my beloved Ben is intense.
Good strategy Alexandra! I let him beat me till he goes tired...
this reminded me of kill bill when Japanese Master says to Uma Thurman " your skills are amateur at best"
Please more of those matches, so entertaining!
It was sort of amusing watching it live. Most of the time Ben was playing outside of common play patterns and winning lategame purely on fundamentals. Which is probably how experienced players beat young-ins nowadays :D
young-*ins*? very suspicious
Thank you whoever edited this! Solid.
Botez: What's happening? Did someone switch him for a younger version of Ben? Haha two awesome streamers, this was gold.
Finegold..
Why didnt you put the score on the screen? It wouldve been much better.
Botez trash talk is very amusing ., can we see Naka vs Ben now day pls ?
Chess Artist naka would flag Ben literally every game for 100% score, not interesting
Kai Jie Soo Naka would win for sure but he would win on the board most of the time ., regardless I would pay to see that fight and I like Ben btw
loosing Qs - is that a famous Botez gambit ? ?... :-)
WFM vs GM. what could possibly go wrong?
That was extremely entertaining
Please upload part II 🔥
The title of this match is "A Beautiful Mind.... and Botez"
lol)) The Blunder and the Beast
This was great!
She is impressivly commentary while facing the teacher of teachers.
Well said.
BEN! You are looking healthy....GO BEN! keep drinking water like a grand master.
Always drink water
5:54 If Bishop F5, then Queen captures bishop.
Great play by both of you.
I love Ben , at first i thought he was just a smart ass lol but once you get to know his personality it's impossible not to like him.
"Wow, he's not talking at all until he gets 40 wins" lmao
Ben plays 10 second games for a living
Honestly her banter when she felt like it is underrated by this comment section.
"He has a lot to be confident in... you know, prettiest chess player worldwide, and, you know stuff like that. So if his confidence is down a little bit, hopefully he's shaken to his core"
Would've been nice to have the score somewhere on the screen
I don't even play chess but this was just entertaining and 47 mins passed like 5. Outcome was great and my favorite part was when she was quiet for 10 sec.
Just keep in mind that any unexpected mate with a piece other than queen or rook are just painful.
New meta, watch bullet chess contests on .75 speed.
This is awesome
46:30 We live in a society :(
Ben finegold commentary: Never play F3, Never play F6, Go Ben, What's the score? She resigned? Cool
The dude who did the audio its cool how theres a voice on each headphone
Very interesting dynamic. Old dog and the shiny new thang on the block.
pls put the score on
Alex : he's gonna tire after 10 games
Alex after 10+ games : did someone switch him for a younger version of Ben ??
This is violence ! You should put the sign (-CM) or mybe (-FM)RAWRRRRRR
@1:15 "Pushing my shit in" was the expression you were looking for. Sorry, you just made me think of Training Day at that exact moment, haha.
The truth hurts
Wiked mate with the knight Ben 🤣. I thought you were supposed to "get tired and take a nap" 😂🤣
Talent and beauty! She also did great
The knight hop!!! around 44:30. On time.
42:52
Every so often in my daily routine I'll just randomly say " yeyy go ben "!
Very suspicious thumbnail
I done my best ;)
Fun games. Its fairly plain why Ben is a GM, incredibly good fundamental player who plays lines outside of the common. Because he can.
23:20 "why's he playing a benoni?" Seriously botez? Don't you know the affair between Ben and Czech benoni??
He lectured about it multiple times: "I block the center and nobody can do anything ever never ever"
@@c4b-bage yeah I know that
@Daniel Burke what?
I mean.. I thought my statement was obvious and he just reaffirmed it and then I was confused and clarified it, and for that you have to call me a fool? Really , Borgin?
At 8:50-58 I just went over that bishop blunder in Chess.com . Great for blitz and rapid
An unauthorised channel? Very suspicious
What a babe. And she's not bad too
Botez sucks
31:45 I sense post malone in the background
Hey Ben, your audio is so much lower than hers.
Jesus, she takes SO LONG to accept the rematch. That would drive me insane. Talk talk talk talk. CLICK ACCEPT. LET'S GO.
alexadra: I'm gonna delay my castle rn.
3 seconds later: Castles
"you shall not pass"
cant wait for part two this was awesome to see ben just run her over lmao
Ben really went ULTRA INSTINCT
F3??! Well now i know whos going to win
Even Finegold knows about the Botez gambit, lol 30:30
Alexandra,
a fost un clar succes in cariera ta. Esti o mare sahista si o mare valoare. Te ai gandit vreodata cand incepi o partida fie ea online sa dai cel mai putin pret pe public si sa te concentrezi numai la razboi? Sigur Entertainment ul va avea putin de suferit dar cu siguranta nu ti vei priede fanii ci din potriva vei castiga mult mai multi.
Succes in continuare both of you.
BEN SUPERMACHINE ... he is pushing .. her ..... something some
Loud against Old rawr
9:15 both of them do a mouse slip which coincidentally was still a good move... To be so good you can't even blunder!
maybe Alexandra does better in competitions because she's not allowed to talk there...on the other hand all her energy must go in the considerable effort to refrain herself from talking at the table so, I don't know...
42:57 hahahah
This is the game between got and DAMN!!
Ben said one thing that first game, always play f6
This is pure savagery. How can anyone allows this type of abuse? How?
Go Ben! Rawrr!
Play the Botez Gambit!!!
12 second this is kind of a tricky line, it's a losing line and you only have a minute.
Love the thumbnail
Thanks!
The only more terrifying game is Botez vs Hikaru! Ben proves GM like a boss.
How did she get 39 in the first place?
You should make these video's in a call, with a bit of banter maybe?
"Finegold" won't do justice, it's "EnrichedUranium" or something!
To be fair, she didn't stop talking/interacting, instead of fully concentrating
Fro godsake this woman it's like a radio 😱
why not include the game where she won lol
Alexandra: Commentates the entire match constantly.
Ben: ................................ GO BEN ................................
my master 🌹🌹❤
Raaaaawwr go Ben!
Rawr
