Maybe someday Andrea will become annoying in terms of beating in this game for Alex. Hey let's just arrange one more game in June and that game should feel like it's the World Cup final game. If Andrea wins that game Alex should become a slave of her own sister for the whole one month. 😂😂😂

Be sure to watch the end of round 8 coverage when Dina tries to crack Hammer with the hanging sentences. It's just before Alex calls in, about 4:36:00 Alex heard part of it, she loves it too when Dina tortures Hammer. Dina slays me. Great job Hammer and Dina.

the "ugly wall" thing was one of my personal highlights of the tourney. the way dina tried to wiggle her way out of what she just said was quite funny aswell.

@@droidgeist I went back and rewatched it from the stream recording, and I'm seeing the same thing I saw live and in the edit here. Andrea was unhappy - obviously since she lost - even when Dina was trying to console her about her play, until she found out from her sister reading chat that she got compared to a Ferrari. Then she cheers up and says, "I may not be the better sister but at least I have the Russians on my side." And Alex is smiling at the joke too; I think she also appreciated how it helped cheer up Andrea. To me it looked like Alex only really got unhappy at what Dina was saying when Dina criticized her habit of moving her pieces back to the 8th rank, which was a legitimate criticism.

Andrea will NEVER be better until she strays from that London system. It simply is too difficult to get an opening advantage against higher rated players consistently.

This was the most fun tournament I've seen in a while. Also, Hammer is a great commentator, I don't think people appreciate that enough, and even Dina, stumbling her way through English was great. Congrats to Alex for the huge tournament performance "Copium" is a great word indeed

This was a brilliant match when I watched it live. Love the hand shake at the start of the match. Was rooting for Andrea. She is getting better every game she plays. Loved the commentary.

Andrea is improving fast. Alexandra also gained quite a bit of rating, though; maybe we'll see her with an FM tag soon. I wonder if she got a WIM norm in any of these European tournaments, or how close Andrea is to WFM - the FIDE rules are opaque to me.

And Alex took a bite out of Andrea and won the match.

Great job winning the tournament!! I watched most of it live, and really enjoyed the commentary.

The editing is top notch, well done.

Really fun tournament. I enjoy Hammer and Dina commentary they're great together. Congratulations to Alexandra for the tournament win and congratulations to Andrea for a great tournament as well. It will be interesting to see if they do indeed go to Norway.

0:33 Andrea, just because Alexandra beats you at chess does not mean she is the "better sibling". I mean, she is, but it's not because of the chess.

Love the commentators they add a ton of humor

I was waiting for the "I kneww your little gremlin hands couldn't resist that sacrifice" from the Live stream 😂

The ugly wall is solid, it won't fall.

Forget the chess match, Dina and Hammer were the true heroes 🤣

It is refreshing to see two unbiased commentators. Hammer & Dina were the dynamic duo during the tournament and chicken salad conversation 🧀 🔨

I love hearing what Alex says at the end. She's happy to win, but not that her sister loses. LOVE. ❤

Levi told me you won the whole shabang! Congrats you go girl!

I love how Dina is supporting her wife, Andrea.

I loved how they could barely contain their excitement at the start of the match 😄

This is some good coverage, nice and short, easily consumable. Thank you for this content 😊 I note that Andrea said she’d like to surprise her sister 😅 So then she thought to play the same opening that she always plays 😢 You can’t make this up 😅

Alexandra :ALL IN!! Opps wrong game

Commentary is funny with biased commentators, and I'm here for it.

Ahh Andrea you were doing so good :(

match of the century

when u change position of board each seconds its a mess...

in the background seems like alireza got humbled and now plays smaller tournaments

we love u and u did great

Great sibling rivalry 😂😂. Keep it up!!! Andrea: keep your spirits up, you don’t need Stanford to be a better chess player 😅. Plus, Dina needs you to ride your beautiful Ferrari more skillfully 😅

love the sisters

It must have been hard for Andrea growing up with a more beautiful and higher rated at chess sister but now she has grown up she is just as beautiful, smashes it with her DJ and music production collaboration, has a fantastic personality that balances cerebral focus with whimsical humour and energy. Oh, and let's not forget her physicality: the honing of her body and the bravery she showed with the chess boxing that shows a determination to go beyond what Alexandra would consider. The fact is that without some radical medically induced brain changes (maybe nootropics such as modafinil combined with intensive training under an electro magnetic stimulation induced child like neuroplastic brain state) Alexandra is always going to be that little bit better unless she suffers some sort of brain injury or neurodegenerative illness. Ability at chess is a bit like height. When a player begins to learn they are lying down as they improve they go from crouching to stooped to eventually standing straight. At that point sure a tiny extra boost might be achieved by stretching but there is a limit beyond which your height will not naturally increase. It's like Alexandra's chess height is 5ft 8" while Andrea is 5ft 6". Some kids can become very good when young but the fact that non of these kids with elos of 2000+ at 5 reach an elo of 3000 shows that there is a physical limit. Sure, most people can improve a bit as most people never even reach their standing chess height let alone the stretching height that can be achieved with hours of study. Magnus carlsen is just a giant. The fact is he may still have a stoop but has not had an opponent that has forced him to stretch.

In my opinion, and honest pov is that until Andrea can play more than just the London; while adding a title to her name as a good chess player. I think she won’t be equal to Alexandra in level, but even so… she is a great chess player that can beat a lot of players; another not everyone or a reasonable amount of people that have a title. I am definitely a fan of both, but more Alexandra than Andrea..

Yay for Alex!

Bro... Andrea should do modeling 🔥🔥💯

One thing you gotta learn is to not move the chessboard to different parts of the screen every half second. Some people are here to watch the game, so please place the board at a specific part of the screen all the time, don't move it around.
