I watch a lot of education chess content and twitch and UA-cam and I honestly think this some of the most informative content I've found. Alexandra is such a good teacher, not rushing to give you moves or stop you from blundering - just telling some of her ideas and giving blacks ideas and letting hutch and the audience try and work it out for themselves. I'd really love some more of these videos with hutch and botez. Great stuff.
Hutch, I've commented on one of your old chess videos years ago saying this, but I want to remind you of how you sparked my love for chess. And also stoked to see you playing chess again and it looks like you're really enjoying it. Good luck in the next tournament and respect the bish.
Came for the bo1 content with seananners and sark over a decade ago stayed for the chess content ❤ lovin this twitch resurgence and rediscovery of an old hobby of mine
She's like 1800. I am a 1600 and I'd lose to her 9/10 times, I'd also beat hutch at least 8/10 times. 100 rating points is really huge in chess. I'd say that to be competitive it has to stay within a range of 50 points +/-
That was actually really fun to watch! and very entertaining!! These training sessions are actually very exciting and informative! Would love to see more, much love to you and your fam hutch!
I don't think Veela played poorly really. 1700 rated players make plenty of blunders/inaccuracies. It's just extremely helpful to have someone much higher rated force you to stop and think when she sees a tactic that Hutch wouldn't intuitively see. Sure he sees the tactics but only when warned they exist. Just like doing tactic puzzles endlessly. You get pretty good at them but in games, you're not going to do as well because the game doesn't tell you a puzzle is right in front of you. Most likely the 1700 player is playing more risky against someone 300 elo below them but doesn't realize someone ~2000 elo or near/above is coaching.
Next time should get a "share screen" so she can see in real time what you're pointing at and talking about, I love chess, big fans of all of you, hutch and alex, and the rest of oldmechinma+chess community. PS. This is almost as Gold as Ben FineGold.
Good to see you playing chess hutch. I checked out Alex’s stream a while ago, I was really enjoying it before a mod was extremely rude. Put me off unfortunately
How so? Its very slow and structured, there's no real complex terminology. If you have trouble with what they're talking about, rewatch sections and try to see what they're talking about.
I came across Hutch's chess videos March of last year and learned how to play for the first time. I went from 800 to 1500 on lichess since then. I'm also 13-2 in my last 15 games so I'm pretty sure I have another 100 points in me easily. Weird flex, I know.
I understand that everyone needs practice no matter what but is hutch just out of practice? He used to play chess constantly and I haven't watched his videos for a long while... my guess is that he's just practicing and really hope that's the case. He should be easily smacking these kids at the tournie! Any thoughts?
They both have 10 min each to move their pieces, so in the end the game was a bit over 15 min. But I get you what you're saying, the game time doesnt match the video time.
Does WFM stand for Women's FIDE Master? Why is there a distinction for Women? I'm pretty sure the IQ distributions for men and women lie right on top of one another and that seems to be the most important factor determining chess ability so it seems overly patronizing. Men shouldn't have any inherent advantage, although they may be more heavily represented due to a higher probability for strong interest in things and games than women. Strange.
It's purely for incentive. There are so little female chess players compared to men. Also there are no male only tournaments, there are only female tournaments or open tournaments. There are probably a bunch of factors why there are less women in chess. It looks like young girls have on average a higher rating than boys at the same age, but women quit and don't come back more than men do. Also, and I don't know how wide-spread it is, Alexandra talked about a general creepiness (and more) a female player has to deal with in mostly male dominated tournaments.
I've read some things about spacial reasoning being a bit more imbalanced. Supposedly that's why mathematics and physics is similar due to the heavy focus on spacial ideas. But yeah, chess is overwhelmingly skewed towards men on the highest level. I think there is like 1 woman in the top 1000 players by ELO. Apparently also men are on average more interested in things over people and women the opposite so men gravitate towards the colder, inanimate pursuits like engineering, while women go for more empathic human-centric disciplines like medicine. And I'm sure the cultural history of chess being more of a male pursuit due to the war game-like nature is a factor.
They say it's for incentive, I think it's probably more like CM. There is no downside to giving titles really, Fide gets more money and tournaments are more prestigious because you have more titled players, even if the players aren't actually masters
@@petarpeychev1926 Chess involves very little spatial reasoning as it is psychometrically defined (where it is taken to refer to the holistic mental rotation and transformation of 3D and 2D shapes; when Kasparov famously took an IQ test, his visuo-spatial score was among his lower ones). It is rather about pattern recognition, logical reasoning, creativity, and memory. There are no observed sex gaps on these fronts. Lemmy's answer, about social factors and attrition rates of girls who play chess, is the more likely one.
Men's and Women's IQ distributions do not overlap, only their mid points, women are more closely clustered around the mean, which means genial intellect males outnumber females ~3:1, adding to the fact that men seem to be far more interested in chess for whatever other genetic and/or cultural reasons, it makes sense.
Little off topic but Hutch bro you gotta talk with Adam. He dropped 5.9 Million people on the ball for two years ongoing and hasn’t said anything dude. People keep coming here to talk to you about it and I know it drives you crazy but people are concerned for y’all 😂
Go on his twitch and ask the chat. He’s not Adams keeper. Plus He’s been in plenty of hutch’s streams. The guy is working on other things, yes it would have been nice to hear him talk about it but he’s still around.

Hutch in OMOO: “He’s over there!” You saw him!”
Hutch with chess: “I think I’m gonna put that piece there”
LMAO literally

as an OG COD4 Hutch viewer, I can't tell you how awesome it is to watch your progression in Chess. by far my favorite content.
Hutch vs Andrea Botez! I wanna see that!
I don't think I've ever seen what would be a beat down that graphic.

@@mrcallofdutyman1 she's way more than that, she's above 2000
@@danielfillion4537 Alex: 2100, Andrea: 2000, Hutch: 1450 I think
Alex would literally destroy him every game. She’s 2100+
Been watching an absurd amount of chess cuz of hutch
Same. I've been watching tons of Hikaru and Botez content lately because of Hutch
He should learn from Chessbrahs instead of Botez. She misses so many tactics and advantages in positions
You folks are making chess interesting to non players like myself. These vids are pretty informative.
I agree, never was interested at all until pogchamps
i've been subbed for years waiting for the return of chess to this channel, i've watched other videos in between tho dw
Hutch and botez have great chemistry
Love to see chess pop off in the community, finally. You got me into chess Hutch, great to see you in PogChamps.
"shes a sister, not a pet dog, its okay." im fucking weak lmaoo
Omg yes!!! Bring back the chess videos
That was actually really fun to watch! and very entertaining!! These training sessions are actually very exciting and informative! Would love to see more, much love to you and your fam hutch!
Awesome game! :) super interesting to hear her commentary on the game.
Getting a Captain Obvious ad on a Hutch video is as good as hitting the lotto

He should really have their cam on his screen as well.
Unironically referencing Ben Finegold is not a good look right now.
GEM4sta Is something up with Ben?
@@GEM4sta What's up with Ben?
Chess.com has a spectator mode built in. She is just spectating and getting real time.
I have missed the Hutch chess vids
Haven't watched in a while, great chess match!
She never comes on demand anyway
Good to see you playing chess hutch.
I checked out Alex’s stream a while ago, I was really enjoying it before a mod was extremely rude.
Put me off unfortunately
That's twitch for ya
I see you met chessbae
kevin chen I’ve heard the name before on a couple streams. They just stuck-up or what?
This video makes me so happy.
So glad to see more chess videos! Also I love how she can't help but dunk on her sister lol
Can't believe this!!!!! After tal baron... I love this
So when is Andrea v Hutch happening???
this is fascinating man. love it.
part of me wants Hutch to keep pushing the 4 pawn attack
Oh wait, he got it
Awesome content
How do 'fair play' rules with lessons like this? I always thought its weird how you can play with a GM telling you what to do and its totally fine
I Need a Telestrator. Im so into this
my god this is going so fast for me ^^

Hmm did he not see his board is cut off.
Hutch get your game face on and get back to playing chess,I used to love watching you and your strategies which in turn helped my game.
Botez intelligence makes her so much more attractive
Hutch, how come you didnt upload the pogchamp final with you and voyboy?
was gonna ask why he quit. if he moves c2 rook takes rook then its just a running game got it
hutch needs to listen more and stop making moves without saying anything. shes trying to help and hes just doing his own thing lol
Yeah i agree but there’s a clock and she can’t really help too much right? Or he can get reported? Idk
I think he did pretty well, She helped him during critical moments and he pretty much won on his own so I don't see what the problem is.
What’s up with the random mutes?
Alexandra is so damn beautiful
I understand that everyone needs practice no matter what but is hutch just out of practice? He used to play chess constantly and I haven't watched his videos for a long while... my guess is that he's just practicing and really hope that's the case.

Yes he's very out of practice. I want to say at least a year of no chess.
Man if you were single I’d think there was some low-key flirting going on 😅
botep!!
cool
Masterclass?
Idont get it. They are playing a 10 min match but the video is 30 min long.
They both have 10 min each to move their pieces, so in the end the game was a bit over 15 min. But I get you what you're saying, the game time doesnt match the video time.
Go to 13:47 and look at his time
@@laynebrock why did it reset?
YAY CHESS!!!!
She's can't even get to 2300 🤣
shes still prolly in the 99 percentile of the chess world
Does Alex have a real title?
Yes, she’s a Woman’s FIDE Master.
Woman FIDE Master.
