The advantage the 11-year old has, over the older folks is, he is not old enough to be distracted by Andrea’s beauty.

[@ashisprasad7432]

@@Smiley957 Nobody said anything about the military... That girl from what I know is a good chess player with lots of followers and a KZbin channel and if my memory serves me right an elo something around 1400-1500. So, constantly bragging and disturbing from the backgrounds while the girl is having some matches with somebody is not adorable in my books. Plus, to think the kid's constant arrogant and disrespectful behavior is somehow an act of maturity, or cuteness or some sort of ninja confidence is baffling to me. What ? Didn't your parents teach you about common decency and manners to understand these common mannerisms ? It looks like they haven't... See, I'm telling this again if somebody is more experienced than you then you ought to respect that person for your own sake and welfare .

[@Smiley957]

@@ashisprasad7432 🤦‍♂️ first of all an ELO of 1400-1500 is nothing though I think she’s rated higher than that. Secondly, she said in the video that the kid has higher rating so by your definition he is a superior and to be respected. Apparently he can play against chess GrandMasters such as Hikaru though that’s only what I read. Third, this is called “trash-talking” and is not to be taken serious. He’s doing it because it’s funny not because he likes talking shit, fourth, if you haven’t noticed she’s also a trash talker. Fifth, you can have a personality and still have respect, better than to crush him he’s not doing anything wrong.

[@ashisprasad7432]

@@Smiley957 1400-1500 is nothing ? Perhaps you must be above that... See, I strongly feel it's your nature to miss the point of what the others are trying to tell you so I'll not waste anymore time with you. I'm not criticising the kid, he's seems to be a good kid with perhaps a big mouth. But that's OK. It's onto him and his parents really if they care to respect others or at least not to offend others. Please don't respond and if you can which I highly doubt, spend more time on online classes or regular classes and try to read if you can learn some common manners.

[@Bratte898]

Was the king REALLY exposed though? The center was pretty much closed. Andrea failed to exploit the weaknesses he was creating on his king side. She could have done that by sacrificing her knight to grab those two pawns on the king side while keeping the pin on his knight. Turned out those pawns caused the damage at the end of the game. Again there were other occasions she could have gotten rid of those pawns or the center ones, perhaps, with a sacrifice of a minor piece. Either, way she could have harassed his king early in the game. She did not. She constantly asked 'should I sac?' because she instinctively knew it was the only way she could start attacking. But she couldn't do it because she was scared, unsure.

[@moguldamongrel3054]

1:16 great move boxing in her bishop. One of the few games I've seen her play, where she doesn't go for center field, diagonal pawn board control. I never really liked speed chess, because it's ultimately a game of fast piece exchanges. 1:15 (winning isn't everything) If symbolically white/black is your side, you want to make sure as many of your pieces make it to the end, since they represent people, ultimately, and the game represents war. Plus Ive always preferred, fortifying moves, using diagonal vectors over horizontal/vertical vectors, etc. War is something to consider fully, not something to sacrifice pieces over, rushing in. I notice alot of people like castling from the start for the fortification it offers, but I've always used castling as a fast means to shift the conditions of the board rapidly, if my opponent commits to assaulting the kings center line. Interesting stuff though.
