This channel ACTUALLY got me playing chess again after years and years - I like the enthusiasm Anna brings to the game, its so authentic !!
lol That is the simp in you talking.
@@ToxicGamer86454 no simping, she truly loves the game, comes by it honestly, and I’m now playing chess and enjoying it….. even against the computer!!
I will agree Anna is very pretty, and if we were pretty young white women, we’d use that to its full marketing advantage in whatever TH-cam business we had too.
It’s unfair and unfortunate, but whatever. Believe me, I don’t simp LOL.
simp
@@ToxicGamer86454 that's the misanthrope in you talking 😉
@@bobbybeast1000 you dont need to explain to a random lol. Anna has a lovely personality
“Got to play a little bit faster”. Has there ever been a match she did not say that 😊
That does seem to be her weakness is the clock. Very good chess player. Enjoy her videos.
That's muscle memory
@@zw3565 solution is to just play classical... but do you think she's a god in classical?
And better
She gets into time pressure even when she plays classical lol@@The_Real_Sensei
This is exactly the type of game that Alexandra is best at!
Which one? Botez is master?
When she loses, it always seems to be on time. Its definitely her weakness.
This was lost long before her timetrouble.
They are good at tactics and drop in queens
Time management and play in time trouble is arguably Alexandra Botez's biggest strength as well.
@@kjetilknyttnev3702Nah, she was spending way too long on simple decisions and was low on time for no reason
@@Ism0Lait3la I disagree. Positionally hopeless after about 12-13 moves. No activity, blocked files, horrible king position. She still had a minute by then. Her whole problem, as far as I see it in these games, is that she is playing too reactionary, and can't settle on one or two ideas or gameplans. It's the biggest reason why she won't get to a rating of 2400 and above. Her opening theory is ok, her endgame is ok, she is decent at calculation, but strategically it's lacking.
Anna has to be my favorite chess streamer
Better than Eric Rosen?
I love that the one of my "suggested shorts" next to this video is from Alex titled "I destroyed Anna Cramling!"
Chess & Techno. Gotta love this times.
I think the 90s "Blade" music adds a lot haha
Loved your commentary.. "Don't call me a turtle, not right now..." Your streams are so entertaining
Seemed like Alex played to ruin the pawn structure and then Anna was hesitant to exchange pieces, so the Queen got chased into a corner.
Anna, I mean that you need strong pawns in the opening so you have confidence and can attack
I think it took her too long to see b4. It’s comforting that even super good players like Anna can miss things sometimes
Anna allowed Alex to play aggressively early in the game which led to some questionable piece exchanges and duplicating moves. That allowed Alex to take out Anna's defense.
Alex is like the Magnus to Anna's Hikaru
And you are like my nut sac
andrea is hans niemann
Regardless of the result, I’m sure that you enjoyed the challenge. Good game. Better next time 😉
Alex is pretty good these days...she is the best of the Botez sisters for sure.
That's not such a large candidate pool 😀
Andrea would kick her butt at chess-boxing though!
I would get lost on a desert island with both
In the English language we use the word “better” when comparing two things.
Wow, what an exciting match against Alexandra Botez! I'm just a 6-year-old chess enthusiast, but I was on the edge of my seat watching this. Your strategic moves and quick thinking really showcased your skills. Even though it was a tough game, I loved how you managed the pressure, especially when you planned to break Alexandra's bishop pair and the tricky situation with your queen. It was a bit scary when you were running low on time, but you kept your cool. Can't wait to see your next game, and maybe I can learn some more great moves. Chess is awesome, and so are you!
You are such a joy to watch. Win, lose or draw, you have a happy disposition.
I'm so bummed at this result but it was fun to watch! I've given up trying to follow what you're doing and why. haha Maybe you could do a video analysis of a game and describe what you're doing in response to what your opponent is playing, and what you think your opponent is thinking or might be thinking for their next move, etc. An instructional video! haha That's the ticket! 🙂 Just a thought from a huge fan and terrible player. hehehe
same same same!
Your an amazing player, never doubt yourself! You’ll win next time
Anna has to be my favorite chess screamer! 😇
I love Alex because I met you through her, so I'm not sad that you lost this one.
Hou Yifan of China is the highest ranked female chess player in the world. Very impressive.
She is ranked at 119th. Magnus is at 1st place.
I like her facial expressions, especially around 4:40
You need lessons from Eric Rosen on blitzing those moves at the end - I haven't seen anyone play as fast as him when down to 3 seconds and he wins quite often at that stage!
I mean, Eric Rosen almost adopted the botez sisters both in a video, only the final game was drawn. Alex is probably a bit better than Anna, so that's not quite the fair comparison. It's as saying "Magnus can win games with 5 min vs. 30 sec", get lessons from him :D
I would play faster at the beginning. Alex had way more time. Anna wastes too much time to decide what her next step should look like. When time is almost up, she can't find the best solutions anymore because of too much pressure.
That was tough. Good playing anyway, though.
Ibiza house music and after about 30 seconds one is like, Okay that's enuf! LOL
really tesnse game, now I am gonna watch alex pov
Love to watch your channel. Hate the music loop, though. Feels like I'm losing brain cells.
the most replayed part of this is 8:26 which means people dont watch the video in full but only to see the conclusion
Would love to see you and Alex in a short Rapid match, maybe 15min Game,
something where its more about your skills, and less about the clock.
Time management is part of the game and related to skill.
Being good at one time mode does not directly equate to being good at them all, however.
@@GabrielMercader Well we'll just disagree there Chess is ultimately about Calculation, which takes time, the shorter time control the lower the Quality of the play. My personal hero Viktor K. was always in time trouble even on Classical Controls, he was also the 2nd best player in the world for like 10 years.
@@trlavalley9909I agree
Knowing Anna, she'd still have time management issues no matter how long the game is!!
@@scottspeig If that is the case, I haven't watched enough games to know for sure, then it is a narcissism personality trait. We have have this trait, it is a question of recognizing it and changing. Consistently being late or slow, especially for smart people, is a sign you are trying to draw attention to yourself. It is a tactic for people to bend to you. This may be helpful at times in chess but not if it gets you in time trouble consistently. Use when an opponent has made a bad move to let them stew in it, or maybe after a loss of a piece. Otherwise trust yourself and keep moving as a plan.
It's ok Anna, you'll get her next time!
I really like the background music, Anna !!! It makes watching the game even more exciting !!!!!!!!!
i was just about to say the music is so annoying
You are both such good players!
Why is your description written from the 3rd person perspective instead of first? Like... didn't you write it? It should really say "I got paired with", right? Also, got since by the time people watch... it's already over in real life? I got paired with so n so.... watch and find out who won. etc.
What a great matchup!
Streaming and being kind in a bullet is impossible
I enjoy this channel much more than the other one.
But only 2 mistakes and 1 blunder for how freaking fast they were playing? I'm rated like 400 and have like 10 blunders and no time limits, lmao. This was fun.
Right I'm only 800 and I'm the same.
My daily affirmation at work = "What is the worst thing that can happen?" In machining and in chess, sometimes you just have to send it.
She's thinking like she's playing classical lol
GG Alex, that was a cool game haha
For anyone new here there is zero nudity or “girl on girl action”
Her time management skills prevent her from getting to 2300
one thing I've noticed in some of your losses: you are behind on time. talk when its their turn and don't worry about us viewing. we would rather see u win :)
Man, it feels like she loses on time more than actually being beaten.
You're both heroes for me. But it would have been better without that computer generated "music".
yikes, what an ignorant comment. "your music taste is different than mine. therefore, it's not music & it's not even human."
What in the world happened between 0:55 and 0:56? Anna's h7 pawn took her OWN g7 Bishop?! Oh, I see, that move was reversed with the next move, where Alex's e5 Knight must have first taken Anna's Bishop, because after the0:56 move, the Knight just... disappears. I see what happened now, but it was certainly, at first. Never mind.
... certainly confusing, ...
I would have definitely blundered that Queen. 😂
I got married and had three children in the time it took Anna to move.
Wondering why she didn't kick the bishop with pawn push early?! Or with knight attack
Alas, had to turn the sound off on this video to protect myself from that horrendous background cacophony!
It’s the music for me 🔥🙌🏿✌🏿
I love her energy so much and she's really good, but she just chills too much in the beginning. It's so painful to watch, she has to understand that time per move is a very valuable metric to improve, for her it's her biggest weakness
I AM SO ATTRACTED TO ANNA
Anna, please……..that music😢………..
Anna's great at chess, but her appreciation of music is clearly primitive in the extreme. That's what comes when one's parents don't attune their children's ears from an early age to the beauties of real music.
That h file is the whole problem, you had to play to safe which takes to much time.
u should always take that bishop on d3 better exchange for it rather than the knight that took on g6 ...
Great matchup!
nice game. the monotonous sound is annoying though.
I understand there needs to be some time keeping in chess but these games seem so ridiculously time pressured ...
everything probably has a natural pace and 5 minutes is not the pace of a chess game
Yeah Crush Alexandra!! Good on You Anna.
absolutely loving !
Would love to watch, but the music is driving me nuts.
Alex botez's pfp is just perfect
Cow opening asainst Botez Gambit Classic variation?
7:49 that would be me on the first move 😵💫
Exciting match. Gracias a las dos
you should have one of your parents secretly play as you against her
1:31 Qd5 instead of d6. Opens up lots attacking opportunities. Qd6 is weak.
6:53 In my opinion, Anna is a pawn up.
She's beautiful, smart and gives fantastic commentary
This is the turtle comment section, lol.
Chess newbie here…why does it seem like small amounts of time are added to their clock at times?
I name this game: "Queen in the corner pocket"
Time killer
Get 'er !! You're a tiger !! (grr, grrr !)
- [ almost inaudibly, like a small kitten ]
Why the heck can't I see the actual moves happening at :56? It looks like something weird is going on.
Beginner here: At 3:20 why not take the knight?
Because, then, the bishop takes the knight at d7 and Anna loses a piece.
Far be it for me to question a 2200, but when Botez played pawn to b4, could a Bxb4 work?
Love the game, commentary, and excitement~ But that background "music" has got to go! Distracting seriously.
Does Alex have a stream of this from her end?
Bishop a5 was your demise.
Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly happened at 0:55? It looked like Anna took one of her own bishops.
The knight eat the bishop, he did a premove
Her slowness is even disturbing
Thought i was the only one, like 30 seconds per turn like how the hell did she make it too 2200
just loooooove anna 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍
especially when she concentrates intensify
lol Anna, don't panic so much! 😂
And to think Alex was probably doing this with her sister speaking gibberish in her ear
first time hearing someone saying "botez" as "bodez"
“Don’t call me a turtle” lmao but holy molyyyyyyy bro every video I watch of you, you’re losing on time with complicating every situation. You have so much potential it’s sad that you got that trait from your mom, even tho your mom is beast GM!
Though we couldn't see it Alex was probably wearing that "goofy" hat...
Increible como encontras el mejor tema para poner de fondo
Wat happened with the bishop black at 1:05? It looks like she took her own bishop with a pawn, and I didn't see where it went. What kind of move is that? Was it taken by the white knight, does this mean the software lets you do your moves ahead of time?
Yes, you can set up conditional responses ahead of time
prediction - alex hangs her queen but anna still finds a way to lose on time
Anna is truly a fighting girl! Like IT ;)
at 2:50, why not Bxd7 for white? If Nxd7, then Nxd5 is winning for white. This highlights why c5 was not good. A big miss for Botez.
Everytime you lose it's on time. That's the secret sauce to beating you. Do you have a plan to play faster? Saying what you have to do and doing it. Are worlds apart. I hope you have a plan.
nice tunes to play chess too!
Chess and Techno interesting!!!
Насколько неприятны и вульгарны сестры Ботез, настолько же мила и очаровательна Анна Крамлинг
TEAM BOTEZ. Thank you, come again.
Pare hablando en inglés y empiezas hablando en español. Nesecito más anna en los otras idiomas!
