@@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.

I love that the one of my "suggested shorts" next to this video is from Alex titled "I destroyed Anna Cramling!"

Loved your commentary.. "Don't call me a turtle, not right now..." Your streams are so entertaining

Regardless of the result, I’m sure that you enjoyed the challenge. Good game. Better next time 😉

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!

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.

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

Nice match and nice Techno! Saludos desde Barcelona.

It's ok Anna, you'll get her next time!

It’s the music for me 🔥🙌🏿✌🏿

I like her facial expressions, especially around 4:40

Wondering why she didn't kick the bishop with pawn push early?! Or with knight attack

just loooooove anna 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍 especially when she concentrates intensify

Love to watch your channel. Hate the music loop, though. Feels like I'm losing brain cells.

ok cool music for once at 4:30 what u got playin' there?

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.

That h file is the whole problem, you had to play to safe which takes to much time.

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 :)

I would have definitely blundered that Queen. 😂

Man, it feels like she loses on time more than actually being beaten.

She's thinking like she's playing classical lol

nice tunes to play chess too!

Time killer

Does Alex have a stream of this from her end?

Far be it for me to question a 2200, but when Botez played pawn to b4, could a Bxb4 work?

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.

@@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.

Alex botez's pfp is just perfect

Great game .

Chess daht cahm has the character bots for Anna and Alex both at 2100. They aren’t gonna give anyone a leg up in this rivalry 😂😂😂

you should have one of your parents secretly play as you against her

first time hearing someone saying "botez" as "bodez"

Im a romanian and I still place my bets on you Anna

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

My sympathies

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?

Why not D5E4 and B5B5 instead - isnÄt that material loss of 2? Seems like a big blunder

1:31 Qd5 instead of d6. Opens up lots attacking opportunities. Qd6 is weak.

@@thomasmount7388 I saw it too, it looked like she took her own bishop with the pawn. The only thing I can figure is that the white knight took the bishop, and she took the white knight. I deduced it by the fact that both the white knight and bishop disappeared in one move. Is there a feature that let her move her pawn prior to the other person making their move or something?

6:53 In my opinion, Anna is a pawn up.

7:49 that would be me on the first move 😵‍💫

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.
