Anna had to. She failed. Couldn't. Didn't you see? Anna is not a great observing player. Alex deserved those win. Usually Anna is better thanAlex. Obviously Andrea too as Andrea is weaker than Alex. But practice made the difference & Alex proved it multiple times. Hammar or whoever is Alex's coach is also a coach for Magnus. That's better than having two grandmasters as parents. Still Anna is good but she has a lot to improve. Magnus made a draw when he was 7 against then champion Garry. Magnus still is learning even though many consider him to be the goat. Yet, learning has no limit. That applies to all. So, good luck to all. Keep going. Never give up. First defeat the inner demon within yourself that tells you to give up &come up with reasons like physical pain, public shame, family members opposing,health issue etc as obstacle. Just make the correct decision giving a lots of thought. Once you overcome those everybody wil clap for you & some will blow whistle with their mouth out of joy & pride who are close to you. Again good luck. God bless.
Game 2 honestly felt like a gm-level endgame from Alex. Acknowledge the draw, bait the force, punish the mistake, win the opposition. She saw it quickly and played it confidently. Obviously I'm not good enough at chess to say something like that authoritatively but it really felt like Hikaru would've played the same moves from 5:40 on
This is the most exciting to me. Same with Hikaru playing classical again. Take more effort on their part than to just continually play bullet and blitz games online but it's more rewarding to see people you know climbing the classical ranks and doing well in big tournaments.
Alexandra walks into HS chess club, mops the the guys up, and they are bogeyed and sweating. Anna does the same, teaching, coaching, and encouraging along the way. They think Anna is a teacher. Both young women are good for chess.
You two are great! Keep on building together. You are two of the brightest lights on the internet in a time where there isn't enough laughter and camaraderie. Maybe chess can save the world!
Following this channel made me fall back in love with chess and added it to my list of hobbies for the first time since middle school and the chess club and while i don't get to play often i do really enjoy getting to play online and once in a while on Sunday's if i can get out of church after the service to go play with the old timers in a small park nearby
Wonderful response about the hat at the end. Anna asking for a game without the hat, and Alex refusing. Give her props as she said: "No Anna's harmed in this process! :) Thanks, Alex.
Botez rising! Now TBH, Anna is one of my favorite players, but here Alexandra's calculating in game 1 was very strong and consistent. Dare I say maybe above rating? I also didn't know her online rating is noticeably higher. And the hat is better too. Competition is good, this could be one of the classic chess rivalries, and NGL even though it's part of the game, gotta watch that trash talk. Let your play do the talking. And yes you should play each other more, these games were excellent.
Is it me? or those people, Magnus, those ladies, Dina like collaborate and give us a great show on youtube and for myself, I am hooked! I watch those videos one after the other. I don't even really believe all that trash talk, like I don't feel any toxic energy or whatever, just great competition with loads of fun.
@@IDKLOL-vw9yy bro I’d fall for anyone with eyes like that her father must have been a thief …..because he stole the stars ✨ and put them in her eyes 👀 😂
@@Trunks1x i meant g5 lmao can’t even go g7 coz there’s pawn there. On g5, it calls check and then anna has to move king so alex queen takes white rook.
The balance of the universe is restored! Edit: Next let's see you coach your sister into not losing an adoption match to Anna. Or if you can figure out a way to compare your coaching of her to Dina's.
For some reason when I see a video where Anna, Alex or Andrea are together, I need to watch it !!! and I know something fun is going to happen. I love these 3 girls
I just realized that Anna was wearing a hat at the beginning. Clearly Anna only lost because she took the hat off. That's disappointing. We need to see a rematch.
This is interesting.......fun and amazing match between 2 amazing/ beautiful chess players Anna Cramling and Alexandra Botez Let the best chess match begin😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I''m loving watching chess videos and I don't think I've played a complete match in my life. I barely know the rules, but for some reason this is very entertaining xD

Ana and Alex are both working at improving their chess skills and returning to the tournament scene. An ongoing rivalry would be fun to watch.

Yes..while the other is arrogant. Can't like her.
funny how different we are. I can't stand watching Anna

So glad you are friends with Anna; great match and Alex was smokin' today. It was the hat! So smart, fun and entertaining. Love the Botez sisters.

Its nice of Botez to give a shoutout to unknown chess players like Anna
who is anna?

Very nice
Who is Botez?
What's a Botez?
'I think Anna forgot where the resign button is'🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I watch the three of you, I feel like what my dog must experience watching me.
Thumbs up to all for bringing chess into the world. Personally ….Anna’s smile,confidence n humbleness is infectious
Happy to see both wearing lucky hats 🎩 in the first game. Anna might think of finding another one though 😳
it's a shame they never faced each other in the tournament. also a shame Alex wasn't wearing that hat at the tournament
Hikaru and Levi laughing at their screen
Chess somehow manages to be as fun as video games in the '90s.
No Anna was harmed in the video had me rofl😂😂😂

This is quite impressive and not anywhere near what I expected. Now I am so confused.
Anna will rematch her and crush her,AC is such a good sport,class act 😺
With this hat: instant grandmaster.
“Some bloke named Magnus”
- “99 missed calls from Magnus Carlsen”
Turns out Anna bit off more than she could chew challenging Alexandra.
"Now I'm gonna bring in the pony!" I'm dying... xD

First time I have seen Alex take chess seriously
How did Anna lose after she stalemated with their coach Hammer
Anna is the loveliest person I've ever seen ❤
Ngl the "I'm gonna take her seriously this time" is a bit of a jab 😂😂
I like the never give up idea with 2 pieces left.
It is a good way to try different strategic moves to see how to win with.
Fun watching..
"Maybe a little bit" jajaj , se pasa
I was clickbaited into fake drama

You took exception to her saying she wanted to adopt you. Lol.
"sweet sister" lol 😂💚

It was so nice watching this video... I was really proud of Alex for some reason...
Impressive games, and very entertaining! I loved Alex’s comment at 10:56: “I am trying to win again, but I don’t want to win by making bad moves.” 😂😂

At 10:07, you could’ve done Queen G5 to fork the king and rook. Free rook there.
she's playing with black also that's straight up checkmate
@@Trunks1x wait u r saying white missed a checkmaye on alex??
@@Trunks1x i meant g5 lmao can’t even go g7 coz there’s pawn there.
On g5, it calls check and then anna has to move king so alex queen takes white rook.

*Botez, Sometimes all a person needs is a little motivation to bring out the best in them.*
Well at least her opponent never fell asleep while beating her over the board
Your evil laugh was hilarious at between 2:08 and 2:12. You do good commentary. Thank you for showing your chess. It's educational for sure. 😊
You should have given her a "Good games, m'lady" as you tipped the fedora
"After I saw Anna lost to some bloke names Magnus"
Lmao
6:09 bro just said Chinese💀
Some of the best chess I’ve seen from Alex. I think the lucky hat is a good look.
2:07 Mmmyes... muahahahhaha
*_villain monologue intensifies_*
Anna adopted your sister and you adopted Anna. Does that make your sister your granddaughter?
Things that make you go hmmm.
There's an old song (available on TH-cam) called 'I'm my own Grandpa' :)
That was entirely too much fun. (send a smiley face after she gets adopted)
Well done! Nice revenge match! I hope Anna posts this too! The saga continues…
So sweet to give the credit to the hat, and thus save all Annas from harm.
This was some CLEAN chess right here

I have to admit that, being a big fan of Anna's channel, I was rooting for her to win.
But Alex played well. And she looks good in the Fedora.
When you can’t decide take both 😂
Well done, Alex! You improved your openings and the rest of your game!
😂LOL "do you want to play one game without the hat?"
I love what Andrea turns into.
