I was once paired with Magnus in a game but he just left without starting so I won. I proceeded to scream around the house, I called everyone and told them I beat Magnus, I appeared in the village tree billboard, I signed everyone's cow, I wrote a book about dealing with the pressure of being better than the world champion, I sent Magnus a chess set with my face carved on all the pieces, refused the world chess championship trophy, put Kasparov on hold for a week, accepted a diamond membership for me and all my descendants in perpetuity from Danny Rensch, got a special intrusive gift from Hans Niemann and declined a foot massage from Agadmator. Then I woke up and saw that Magnus had opened with his knight to f3 so I threw my laptop out the window
The fact that the greatest endgamer of all time didn't know that rule is also amazing in its own right. He doesn't need to learn rules, he just figures them out instinctively
This guy is soooooo good. A master is screaming beating him when he only had 30 seconds and they had 5 mins. And it took them like 6 attempts. I’m not slighting Alex. I’m just appreciating how gifted his mind is. Like wow
Funny thing is she wouldn’t have beat him on time if he didn’t spend like 5 seconds looking away from the camera and talking to the guys He would probably be the favourite with like 12 seconds as well, and Alexandra is a WFM, insane
@@hankmoody666 idk how insane that is.. WFM equals to approximately 2100 FIDE. Magnus is 2850 FIDE The difference between them is like the difference between a 1000 and a 2000.
He uses less than 1s on each move while talking to the other guys and wasted many seconds looking away. If he was serious like Alexandra then gl to Alexandra
botez: *intense thinking and breathing* magnus: *laughing and talking to his friend explaining why one is more handsome than the other* me watching: what on earth is going on-
Pretty much, I believe in this clip Botez gained more effeciency than Magnus as the games went on. The playing was super fast because of the premoves made each game. As you said, both sides of this epic battle were playing roles : Magnus and his friends the mafia trying to recruit Botez to increase their ranks, even inticing Magnus to get in a couple with her at some point 😂. I wasn’t there on stream but that’s what I got from watching the video and reading somme of the comments, so if anyone feels like adding something to my comment, feel free to do so ^^. I am new to chess btw and this was super fun and entertaining to watch, as well as a bit instructive, somewhat ✌️ Clearly rooting for Botez here, even if she was played to be the underdog 😉
7:18 Are you telling me Magnus Carlsen, arguably the greatest chess player of all time and the person who has studied literally every move in chess, legitimately learned something from Alex Botez? That’s a W on its own right there tbh.
Before that he could always see when a king was going to get there in time but using the square technique uses less cognitive power. I wonder if it also makes him calculate it 0.1 of a second faster.
@@aaaab384 Right, but it's a nice thing to see when you know that most people in a similar or equivalent position don't really acknowledge their colleagues/co-athletes in the field. Magnus has bragging rights in a way (since, yes, he is really good at chess) but he's not full of spite for people who are lesser than him. And in this day and age, it's just a bit refreshing to see. Chess used to be a very elitist sport.
Despite having only 30 seconds, there is always smile in his face, but sometimes having 5 minutes can make a person nervous all the time in every game. It really proves how great player he is....
30 seconds is a lifetime…ok it’s not, but if you play bullet, your mostly playing from memory, your not playing a game in uncharted territory, however, playing with 30 seconds against someone who has 5 minutes is a completely different ball game, or board game if you will, she can make moves that would throw you out of familiar territory and force you to think on your feet
Having five minutes is not great either. Sure she has more time, but if she doesnt play fast, he will have more time to analyze the board, which just results in her losing.
That endgame in 13:00 is a beautiful one. Alexandra is a solid player and it shows you how much knowledge magnus has about chess to have that much defense with the few pieces that remain
Something alot of people don't know: the trick with having more time isn't to stop and think about your move it's to play just as fast as your opponent because the time you take to think is the time your opponent uses to look at the board but if you playing just as fast as your opponent at the end of the game you might be a couple minutes up.
Alex is not joke. She is really strong. It is almost impossible to beat Magnus even for some grand masters. It is only single win with difference time limit but totally worth it.
She is strong, but Magnus made her look like an absolute beginner by beating her with such odds. Giving those odds to an actual grandmaster would be an insult, and even the GOAT will never ever pull something like this against a GM
This felt like watching a superhero movie. Just incredible emotions all around. Was expecting Alexandra to go full Gladiator with "are you not entertained!" in the end 😂
this reminded me of a tennis player with a quote: "And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row." - after defeating Jimmy Connors at the January 1980 Masters.

Why do I see so much hate in comment section? You're very good one, 95% of all chess players can't even beat him when he just premoves... You've done a great job Alex!
Imagine the level of play required by Alex here to Botez gambit just to put Magnus into a false sense of security and beat him like 3 games later. That is true strategic mastery.
It's just a crazy part of the human experience that in any competitive arena, at the very high end of the distribution, there's still so much differentiation. Alex is a great chess player, but Magnus is Magnus.
This is sooo funny, I laughed myself to tears. I watched the final minutes over and over again. What a cliffhanger. 20:55: "ahah he is thinking!!" Meaning: he needed a whopping 2.5 seconds for his next move! Look at how the facial expressions change in both of them. Even Alex getting silent (very uncharacteristic) in the last seconds, completely devoted, I love it. And then: yes! Yeeeesss! She is completely bouncing of the walls while she tries to hold back her tears of happiness. Lovely. Meanwhile the clip shows the enormous difference between a very good chess player and the utter genius Carlsen is. Look at how casual he is playing despite only having 30 seconds. He plays chess like I breathe.
That is definitely a legit win and she deserves to be proud of that win! Magnus is not only the best chess player in the world, he is a chess genius, and is 1000 higher than Alex. This win is like winning the Mike Tyson 1 round challenge during Mike's prime, but instead of winning money, Alex has this accomplishment to brag about for the rest of her life!👏👏👏

@@TheRuns2 No, it wouldn't work. I'm a weaker chess player than Alexandra Botez. So I should set Magnus' clock to 5 seconds against my 5 minutes. Then I could beat him one out of seven times, and make a video about my glorious triumph. ;)
@@andraspongracz5996 You don't understand chess as well as you think you do. If you continue to study, and mature as a person, you'll realize that you're embarrassing yourself when you say things like this. People cease to learn with attitudes like yours
As a 51-yr-old trying to learn chess from nothing, I can only dream to play as well as either or both of you. Thank you for this fun video! I was rooting for Ms. Botez despite the time difference, and celebrate with her! As a dad of 3 daughters, I admire strong women who are confident and classy in the face of intense pressure. 99+% of men in chess could not beat her, much less show the class she showed in this video.
If they are still in print look for the chess books by Yasser Seirawan. They teach you the elements, tactics, strategy, openings and endgames. This is the heart of good chess.
LOL... I think this just adds to Magnus' genius... took you 10 games to win one because of time when he was only given 30 seconds... 2 more seconds and he would have beaten you again. Not saying you're bad.. you could probably do what he did to you to me... but WOW.. he is brilliant.
He is 2852 in blitz, she is 2059. That is an enormous difference. It's like an amateur gets in the ring with Mayweather (the greatest defensive fighter that's ever lived) and gets schooled for 11 rounds, but in the 12 th manages to catch him with an uppercut and sends him to the ground scoring a knock down and stealing that round. Yes, he got massacred, but he can proudly say that he managed to score a knock down to one of the greats.
@@Andrei-Marian I wouldn't say that was anything akin to a knockdown. The clock just ran out while he was in the process of knocking her down again : 🤣
@@Andrei-Marian that is in no way the same thing. If the amateur ran around the ring running for their life and Mayweather tripped and fell down running after them and somehow knocked themselves out then it would be a fair comparison lol.
@@BCD10 hahaha. Thank you for the laugh with the mental imagery. Just give the girl a break guys. She's not Judit Polgar to beat him without some kind of advantage, but the name of the game was "adoption = 10 wins in a row" and she managed to escape that.
At 0.7 seconds I think Rc2 was his winning move but he did check instead. It’s like he can’t see every possibility when spending only 0.2 seconds on each move.
The day you beat Magnus was the most important day of your life. For him... it was Tuesday. Just playing. Utmost respect to your ability! Great content!
I sat down for some light chess before dinner. Now it is 20 minutes later, and I lie on the floor starved with arrhythmic heart beat, waiting on the ambulance. It may be the last day of my life but a smile scrolls my face... for I have finally witnessed a true bona fide miracle. Well done Alex... well done. P.S. ( I am too old to buy a hoodie, but if you embroider that sig on the left breast of a nice button down, I promise you I would buy two of them).
That 3:04 blunder by Sasha is my main motivation in chess. All of us watching knew that was a bad move but I doubt that 1% of us viewers could beat her. Chess is a magical game. You can practice and become the best, but you will never solve chess. That's why I play. I can lose 100 games but I'm sure some of my moves will be unique even to the best players, like really never played before... This game with Magnus is the proof that chess is the ultimate unsolvable puzzle.
Я не очень разбираюсь в шахматах, но это захватывающе! Александра выбрала стратегию сбивающих с толку ходов, которые будут увеличивать потенциальные затраты времени на обдумывание хода. И даже против Магнуса это сработало! Это лишь показывает, что можно использовать разные подходы для достижения цели. Все же шахматы - прекрасны.
The fact that he always plays with two cronies behind him like some kind of mafia boss never fails to make me laugh
So true.. the G.O.A.T.
Magnus is the final boss in chess. Those are his hicthmen.
Hahahaha
This made me laugh, a lot. Great observation.
I never knew who those guys were. Now I know it, thank you, hahaha

When the actual game comments
The fact that Alex actually taught Magnus the rule of the square is amazing. He’s always learning and humble enough to admit it
I think he already knew it but in his way (without drawing a square)
He knew the rule, just not under the name "the rule of the square"
The fact that the greatest endgamer of all time didn't know that rule is also amazing in its own right. He doesn't need to learn rules, he just figures them out instinctively

Because hikaru is 'nice'
@@abhinavsinha9239 decent*
Ehh... In this particular case though he just meant he can't premove because she might hang the queen instead of moving the king.
I think by tricky he just meant she may do some "dumb" move trying to catch his premoves lol
The fact that Magnus can come back from almost every situation is astonishing to me.
I'm glad you won one, but Magnus' ability to play chess is a pleasure to watch. The guy is an absolute menace.

To beat Magnus, time is the only way
~ Master Oogway
"beat" is a strong word, you were -12, 2 moves away from getting checkmated, with +4.5 min time odds 😂😂
The Botez gambit at 3:07 is funny 😂
I literally screamed at my screen "No Alex, don't do it!!" and when Magnus took her queen, I started crying of laughter
BTW she said could I come in? And Magnus' knights were like do you dare?!!
Watching both of their expressions in the last few seconds was priceless!!! 😅😅😅😅
That’s the best content in a while. Congrats, so fun to watch.
The greatest chess player of all time crashing at the Chessbrah house while playing Alex online is amazing.
Alex: screams
Magnus: mission accomplished 😎
Lol, got it!! 😁
Bruh wtf
Dude what 👀👀
😈
If Magnus was mating me, I would scream too
For Alex it was the greatest moment in her life but for Magnus it was Tuesday
11:06 "See, now we are playing theory, I don't know who's gonna know it better" LMAO xD
15:46 OMG!!! Ultra Instinct Pro Magnus!! 😱😱🥶
As a 51-yr-old trying to learn chess from nothing, I can only dream to play as well as either or both of you. Thank you for this fun video! I was rooting for Ms. Botez despite the time difference, and celebrate with her! As a dad of 3 daughters, I admire strong women who are confident and classy in the face of intense pressure. 99+% of men in chess could not beat her, much less show the class she showed in this video.
well you won’t be playing as well as both of them ever that’s for sure
there are other male chess grandmasters who could beat her
If they are still in print look for the chess books by Yasser Seirawan. They teach you the elements, tactics, strategy, openings and endgames. This is the heart of good chess.
@@vMicmic And you will be never be a better human ever that's for sure.
@@vMicmic You don't know them. Maybe they can.
3:08 queen gambit😎✌️
That was great. It's nice to see Alexandra so happy.
Marry him already
LOL... I think this just adds to Magnus' genius... took you 10 games to win one because of time when he was only given 30 seconds... 2 more seconds and he would have beaten you again. Not saying you're bad.. you could probably do what he did to you to me... but WOW.. he is brilliant.
He is 2852 in blitz, she is 2059.
That is an enormous difference.
It's like an amateur gets in the ring with Mayweather (the greatest defensive fighter that's ever lived) and gets schooled for 11 rounds, but in the 12 th manages to catch him with an uppercut and sends him to the ground scoring a knock down and stealing that round.
Yes, he got massacred, but he can proudly say that he managed to score a knock down to one of the greats.
@@Andrei-Marian I wouldn't say that was anything akin to a knockdown. The clock just ran out while he was in the process of knocking her down again : 🤣
@@Andrei-Marianit’s not an enormous difference with time odds like that. She could literally flag every game playing stone wall openings
@@Andrei-Marian that is in no way the same thing. If the amateur ran around the ring running for their life and Mayweather tripped and fell down running after them and somehow knocked themselves out then it would be a fair comparison lol.
@@BCD10 hahaha. Thank you for the laugh with the mental imagery.
Just give the girl a break guys. She's not Judit Polgar to beat him without some kind of advantage, but the name of the game was "adoption = 10 wins in a row" and she managed to escape that.
I love how alex goes :" the queen are off ,I guess he's decent at Endgames"💀
I've been watching clips for over a year but you gals won me over with this one. That's high quality entertainment right there.
Magnus with 11 seconds left:
"Oh sh1t, I forgot there was a timer!"
if Magnus went full hallucinogen, he would change the world
Probably one of the best chess videos I've seen. Thank you for it, Alex. And congratulations you deserve it all!
''There we go. Alright easy win!'' 0:33
hahahaa i like that!
At 0.7 seconds I think Rc2 was his winning move but he did check instead. It’s like he can’t see every possibility when spending only 0.2 seconds on each move.
“I learned rule of the square from David’s forehead” this was actually funny though 😂
The day you beat Magnus was the most important day of your life. For him... it was Tuesday.
Just playing. Utmost respect to your ability! Great content!
Shoutout to the viewer who hooked up the challenge lmao
I know nothing about chess, yet I watch and admire them. Alexandra is amazing.
I sat down for some light chess before dinner. Now it is 20 minutes later, and I lie on the floor starved with arrhythmic heart beat, waiting on the ambulance. It may be the last day of my life but a smile scrolls my face... for I have finally witnessed a true bona fide miracle. Well done Alex... well done. P.S. ( I am too old to buy a hoodie, but if you embroider that sig on the left breast of a nice button down, I promise you I would buy two of them).
Grandpa simp
Ambulances are expensive, get an Uber.
Did you take the clot shot?
Bro got vaxxed and boosted
9:54 PERFECT PITCH
Alex sweating the whole time while magnus is listening to roasts
7:46 Magnus beats GMs with or without the hoodies. He's Magnus Carlsen
This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to see a series based on Botez 👍
Andrea said there's a doc coming
@@moreblack I look forward to it. I think they’re sitting on an empire, it’s just a matter of the right things coming together at the right time.
I would love to watch a challenge series!!
You are on it now.
“i didnt actually understand the rule of the square” BRO MAGNUS YOU LITERALLY MADE A VIDEO ON IT
I can't believe he can actually win with thirty seconds.
"Because he has better hair and he's more handsome" aw he's nice to his friends
Alexandra Botez’s reactio when she beat Magus Carlsen with only 30 seconds while he ad 5 minutes is absolutely incredible
Even more funny when you see how pathetic was her "win".
@@DVDKC It's still a win but yeah
@@DVDKC Really more after the number of tries she took xD
. But beating Magnus is beating Magnus; Kudos to her !
-12 'win' with 4.5 min advantage 🥶🥶
It's a good move she trick magnus by not take his roock
That 3:04 blunder by Sasha is my main motivation in chess. All of us watching knew that was a bad move but I doubt that 1% of us viewers could beat her. Chess is a magical game. You can practice and become the best, but you will never solve chess. That's why I play. I can lose 100 games but I'm sure some of my moves will be unique even to the best players, like really never played before... This game with Magnus is the proof that chess is the ultimate unsolvable puzzle.
I felt your pain when he asked if you were drunk 😂
Я не очень разбираюсь в шахматах, но это захватывающе! Александра выбрала стратегию сбивающих с толку ходов, которые будут увеличивать потенциальные затраты времени на обдумывание хода. И даже против Магнуса это сработало! Это лишь показывает, что можно использовать разные подходы для достижения цели. Все же шахматы - прекрасны.
