You gotta love Mike because he loses so good-naturedly. You just know he knows he's going to get crushed playing these titled players that come through to play him and get their youtube content, but he still puts up a fight, lays on the smack talk, and goes down with a smile nonetheless.
He's kind of the Don Rickles of chess. Even when he insults you know he's just kidding and being entertaining - really a very nice grandpa. I think it's a right of passage for pretty much every good chess player on the East Coast to play him - and he's certainly the most famous chess "hustler" because of YT.
its so great to see 2 chess players having "FUN" and laughing and having a blast, while playing a game. That's how it should be. Not like so many players, when it's just WAR TIME for them and they get all fired up and emotional. It's a game that should be enjoyed, and not something to be taken too personally.
Don't know what guy you're talking about but 99% of what people call trash talk is actually being straight up toxic to people unlike the actual trash talk like mike does
What a great sport. Seems like such a nice guy. You can see his love for the game too with the amazement of her checkmate. That last mate was a win for everyone is was so pretty
Here is the fact. Street chess vs. book chest/tournament chess. You can see that Alessia is way over Mike's head. I can tell Alessia toying Mike, in which Mike doesn't give much weight against her. I can see Alessia, thinks 3-5 steps ahead. You can tell by looking at how she ran downs her time, as she is giving Mike's handicap. Same thing, when I saw Alessia vs. Carlini's match. She did the same thing. toying Carlini, and destroyed him on 2 matches back to back. Also, Alessia gave away, she knows all or most opening. Second game, she gave away by unorthodox opening, which Mike's doesn't know how to defend or attack.
Holy sh*. This was brutal and perfectly executed. Nicely, setting him up with your trash talking and when he finally believes he had a straw, completely destroying him. Yet, Mike is a great sport.
I know this is an older video, but Alessia, at 6:30, the way you respond and do those hand movements is one of the most Italian things I can imagine 😂 you told him you were from Italy without actually saying Italy lol
Once in my life i'd like to deliver a checkmate like that. I saw there could be trouble with Alessia's king sitting on the dark squares, but i didn't think it would, ironically, turn out to be Mike's undoing instead. At what point did Alessia see it, and how her rook could protect her pawn? Super entertaining all round. Alessia's horsie earned its hay that day.
3:11 I would push the pawn to f6 so if you take I take back and after the bishop trade you can later on queen trade and make a fork to the pawns on both h and c file

He never goes down. In the end you almost always realize how much he enjoyed the game and the joking around it. That is undestroyable.

Its personal after a level XDXDXD
wow ... final checkmate was stunning ....
"I remember the old days when you were nice. I don't know what happened!!"
Best quote of the video! 😆
Mike being a good loser has won me over. Nice game and don’t take that queen!
This is definitely one of the best chess videos that I've ever watched. It's funny and the chess was in line with the funny trash talk. Loved it!
At last! The two best trash-talkers battle it out! 😂
She SOLD it by acting-"holy shite"!
I love Alessia! So fun and talented!
& Swedish, Italian & Suisse(ha-ha).
Mike is such a nice guy, compared to that Russian Trash Talker who was literally despicable.
mike doesn't take things too seriously, that's why his trash talk is always on point, even if he loses it's a dub
Russian Paul is a street chess legend, being "rude" is his trademark.
Don't know what guy you're talking about but 99% of what people call trash talk is actually being straight up toxic to people unlike the actual trash talk like mike does
TF U TALKING ABOUT??? RUSSIAN GUY JUST DO NORMAL & HEALTHY TRASH TALK!!!! IT MAKES GAME 100000 X FUNNIER TO WATCH!!!!
@@SatanaS-ed8qv WHAT?? 👂
Talks "trash", has a heart of gold, a good player and takes defeats straight up! Great guy, Mike!
I love watching Alessia, her accent but also the trash talk is getting to the next level.
That was an epic mate trap, perfect for trash talking.
"oh no, my queen!" 😅
You both are very sweet and humble guys 😊
That was a great OhNoMyQueen moment ! Always so satisfying to play otb ! Well done !
Mikes face when he realised he completely missed the mate. Lolol
That second checkmate was stunning
Mike is always so good-spirited, kept a smile on my face through the whole video!
"ohh no my queen"
Mike is the friendly boss of the tutorial level.
he's only playing, he's damn awesome, my favorite dude in the coffeechess, just fun banter all the way :D
LMAO she TRICKED mike into taking the queen!!! a deflection sac 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅😂😂😂
What a great sport. Seems like such a nice guy. You can see his love for the game too with the amazement of her checkmate. That last mate was a win for everyone is was so pretty
Call an ambulance....call an ambulance...
But
Not for mee
Not for me :)
By far, the most enjoyable chess vids online.
Youre so heart warming. Great watching you play ❤️
7:26 what a check
That expresison from Mike and Alessia's final words is priceless😂
poetic! he couldn’t keep pace with your trash talk! “WHAT’S THIS, MIKE?!?”

Some of my favorite videos are with "Boston Mike" but Mike is starting to remind me of the team that always played against the Harlem Globe Trotters
,,mike are you crazy? a little bit'' haha
Mike is the undisputable boss
Holy sh*. This was brutal and perfectly executed. Nicely, setting him up with your trash talking and when he finally believes he had a straw, completely destroying him. Yet, Mike is a great sport.
"There are a couple of things I have to take care of..I don't know exactly what they are, but I'm gonna take care of them". 😅
"are you watching gothem chess" 'No' "Good" Poor Levy !!
14:02 telling mike to take a move back while her own clock is running down. she's playing with her food
You both are so funny. Its like father is playing again his daughter 😂
Mike lost but he remains the king of trash talking
Wow, Boston Mike got muted with that last checkmate, what a move!!
Good to see you on Coffee Chess : )
I can't hold my Laugh anymore 😂😂😂
Fabulous ending to an entertaining couple games, thx.
that second game checkmate was ridiculous 😳
In the second game he said if he lost he would cry. And when she gave mate, I saw him wipe tears from his eyes 🤣
I know this is an older video, but Alessia, at 6:30, the way you respond and do those hand movements is one of the most Italian things I can imagine 😂 you told him you were from Italy without actually saying Italy lol
He’s a good sport, what a nice guy
Mike is a national treasure. We must protect him at all costs
I haven't had so much fun watching a chess video before.
Bro this whole vid was work it for the ending.
So beautiful , trying to move it back for him 😂
“From Sweden?! What are you talking about?” And then the Italian hand kicks in 🤌🏻
This is hilarious.🤣
you are not aging well Mike, TRASH TALK GOLD THERE!!!!!!!!!
Great game! Very entertaining, Mike is such a good sport!
She said "CHHHWHOLLEE SHEEE IT!" lololol
love this :D
she is waiting under 1 minute
give you a chance ! XD
1:00 Levy just caught the wildest stray 😭
That was fun to watch the drama unfold on the soul crushing done here. 😂
I have a complaint! You Two are so entertaining I keep having to rewind to watch the chess moves! But seriously Thank you for making chess Fun!
I don’t think that would work but it’s really hard for him because they do
Has the world leaned nothing? Alessia is a damn good player!
Mikes a horse trader of a chess player.

Hilarious end to the second game!
Congratulations your level is always impressive ‼️
‘ this ‘ trash talker
u mean mike the boston legend
that cheat on 3:48 :O
As she says there is a legal move called "en passant". Not a well known rule, look at it in wikipedia.
This is world class trash talk😂 well played both sides 💪🙏
"Are you watching Goddamn chess?"😂
Gotham
Absolutely merciless! that's why we love u AS
I love that Chess Set. It is my favorite design.
My new favourite trash talker!
Bro played in the botez
gambit
I love this Girl, Classy, Quick, Smart love it

CHECKMATE MIKEEEE ! that's amazing content, subscribed :)
Mike is a legend already
Oh wow, you even matched his mouth! 😂😂
You are a joy to watch, great chess player with an awesome personality. Pretty too. That girl aint bad either.
Oh no not that Mike!!!😂
That was the most baller checkmate. Cheers! 🍻
Yeah we have some good things about it too much rain tomorrow morning I’ll see how long until next year

3:11 I would push the pawn to f6 so if you take I take back and after the bishop trade you can later on queen trade and make a fork to the pawns on both h and c file
I subscribed based on this trash talking Alessia. Love it!
This was so nice to watch! how funny ❤😂
So much fun!!! keep it up!
Thays the first time ive ever seen some make mike hold his head after a game 🤣🤣👍
Wow, she is only 2100 and destroy this trash talker. Usually these guys are no better than 1900 so it’s to be expected.
She got him good....
I've been waiting for this match
that last game was brilliant!
As a chess player that brilliant en passant is the goal of my chess life
She trashes talks more than Mike...LOL. She doubles her win. 2 pts. trash talk and 2 pts. chess
Thank you! haha
@@Alessia_Santeramo 10 pts. beauty 🥰🥰🥰
Queen Sac Royal Fork Mate! Savage!!!
Great Photoshop skills on those thumbnail images 🤩
Alessia is the absolute best!!!!!
This feels kinda like a jojo’s fight scene
hahahaha gimme that queeen! oh it's maaaate mike!! ahhaahahah love that second game ... hahaaha
Always get people to trash talk on their own time, when it's their move. Don't tras htalk when it's your turn to move.
