[@alpha007org]

Don't sell yourself short! We love seeing your "library" games. Why? Because we can understand the moves, why you made them, and because you tell us what were you thinking at the time.

[@TomLiang-hf6rd]

Team USA finished 4th place in this world team championship, but Alice Lee won the individual gold medal on the top board! At the age of 13!

[@КанапияЖусип]

Qazaqstan was the youngest and the lowest rated team and got the silver. Alice is fine too, but it is her start only

[@smhollanshead]

Thank you for finishing the game. For those of us under 1500, we thank you. While you may not realize it, you’re an excellent chess master.

[@CasualPrince]

Wow! That was a masterclass from Alice. 👏🏻

[@wastedbread8036]

13 i can hardly believe it !!!

[@dennis9944]

amazing to see what she is achieving. that kid crushed the adult! keep it up, alice! ❤

[@aspirin02]

Not only one. Multiple adults. Chess kids these days are amazing

[@MI7DJT]

Wow. What a prospect for the future! Thanks for sharing this game Agad :)

[@SmilingIbis]

At least she was 13. There's nothing like losing to a kid who is kneeling on his chair so he can see the board. It puts it all in perspective.

[@gillespaige4400]

I get the first comment. Agadmator keeps crushing it after all these years. Been watching your channel for over 6 years now. Let's have a " Pause the moment ", and give you credit you deserve !! Cheers to best Chess utuber on the internet :)

[@xethnyrrow]

Alice absolutely DESTROYED her. Every defense was a counter attack, what a game.

[@MattCruise-en8kh]

Alice Lee is the 3rd youngest female to achieve IM title in history, only behind Judit Polgar and Kateryna Lagno and well ahead of many male super GMs. She has the potential to compete with top male players in the future.

[@MattCruise-en8kh]

Also, it is important to note that Europe is a hotbed for elo points and GM/IM norms, but Alice Lee has been playing exclusively in the USA. She could easily raise her elo rating by a lot if she started playing in Europe. Almost all of the top boy players in the USA have been doing that.

[@lessormore001]

And what does this prove? Kateryna Lagno was an IM even before Alice and she never played at the level of the best men. If she were now playing in tournaments for the best boys her age and placing high there, such claims would be more understandable. At her age, Hou Yifan was the world runner-up among all women and took 3rd place at the Junior World Championships in the open category. She didn't take IM either, because she won the GM title shortly after WGM, at age 14 the youngest woman ever to do it. Alice only plays with women and she's not always the best among them. That's a far away from being a top open player.

[@lessormore001]

@@SusanGallagher-ku8kf And did these superGMs win this title 40 years ago? I once saw a comment saying that Alice became IM faster than Kasparov, but no one added how much harder it was to get the title during Kasparov's time. It depends on what perspective you use to talk about Alice's talent. When it comes to only the best women, I agree, she has great potential to become one of them someday. But when it comes to top men, there's still a huge gap. I guess no one talks about the great chess talent of a boy who is FM at the age of 13 (because Alice has not been awarded the official IM title yet) and is not even in the top 100 of the junior rating.

[@ndnd7614]

13 and not even an IM. Also she plays only against elo inflated women

[@rockababy]

​@@lessormore001you have it all figured out. woah.

[@johnfogarty1647]

Thanks for this video! Even if Alice is ranked lower than the boys, she's still amazing and it's great fun to see analysis of some of her games as she makes her way up the ranks.

[@trumplostlol3007]

Unlike Magnus Carlsen who turned pro and was playing full time early in his life, Alice Lee is still focusing on her school work and she is even taking college calculus.

[@davidholland4713]

That was an incredibly impressive game. Alice just kept taking away natural moves and counterplay from the opponent, who was strong enough not to blunder but ended up dominated positionally.

[@xmetax]

Alice getting better and better ⭐

[@richardlindquist5936]

Thanks for sharing your games, Antonio.

[@josemiguelsanchezbornot8609]

5:16 Missed the rook pining the queen with Rh7

[@chrisdavidson8525]

What a savage game that was! Some of the kids coming up through chess currently are so strong.

[@robertkarlsson1960]

Thank you for your videos. You are the chess youtuber that makes me most inspired to play chess.

[@martinX71055]

Thanx for your long running channel. Yes, i do like to see the finish on the game. Yaaaaay. Mx

[@DiCelloPiano]

Queen Sacrifice ! brava Ms. Lee !

[@MooxLive]

Why no games are showed about Alexander Grischuk, especially after winning Tata steel chess India ? I hope you see some of it in your channel. I love the way you analyze and comment about chess games

[@nedmerrill5705]

May she keep up her masterful play ...

[@MrSupernova111]

Incredible game by the young Alice!

[@troywakefield9250]

Alice Lee is the next Judit Polgar I'm calling it now

[@TomTom-rh5gk]

Alice Lee is the best. I wouldn't be surprised if she is world champion someday.

[@jestice75]

At 13, Magnus beat Karpov and drew Kasparov. She beat...a girl. Reminds me of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6THgpKeYrp8mNU

[@papai039]

If showing lines is the job, Agad is the best in the business. Agad is the best. I enjoy your videos, bro.

[@rickharold7884]

Geeze. Bella was dissected live on the operating table for us all to see. Brutal

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Pretty incredible the young lady is that Great already I can picture her having fell in love with Chess at a very young age and just totally put all her attention and focus into the game she’s gifted for sure

[@SusanGallagher-ku8kf]

On the contrary, according to her interviews (posted on the uschess website a couple months ago after she achieved IM), she only spends ~2 hours on studying chess everyday. She may be spending more time on contest math than on chess.

[@Speed99999]

Baby Alice Lee ❤🐥🐣👼

[@nocturnomedieval]

Hey Antonio. Congrats for your success, keep going. BTW, how you or more higher rated older GM perceive the engine era changing the playstyle of younger GMs? Compare it to soccer in the sixties and current elite leagues

[@TheArchitectureNexus]

That Ka2 move reminds me of something from the sorcery series!

[@robertphillips2769]

Beautiful chess.

[@julianh7974]

I remember a few years ago listening to a BBC radio play called The Chess Girls written by Lavinia Greenlaw. It was, of course, the story of the Polgar family, the dad's obsession with teaching his daughters chess, the horrendous ways in which the Communist state tried to make this impossible and tried to limit the girls' opportunities to play (no international travel, no competitions against men...).. And the development of Judit into a truly world class player. Since then I have been curious about the differing standards in men's and women's chess. Why the difference. Are men innately better at chess? Or do women face extra obstacles that make it difficult for them to reach their potential? So... it is just great to have you cover women's games and to see how well some of the women players are developing. Alice Lee, Noryul Salimova, Vasishali and more. So the request is please more great games from great women players. As well of course as great games from great men players.

[@KingOfNebbishes]

It's a combination of things. Fewer women are encouraged to play, even fewer are given access to good coaching. Heck, when I was growing up, chess coaches just refused to take on girl clients because chess was a "boy's game." Further, for big events, there's a limited number of invites available, so those get given to guys. No invites to strong competition, no strong competition.

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

@@knopxi Also Vera Menchik, probably the first woman ever to compete and win against the strongest men of her time (pre-war).

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

Historically, there have always been way fewer women chess players than men players, largely due to gender restrictions and expectations. I suppose a so-called Gender Studies major could give you a multitude of "patriarchal" reasons, but regardless, the opportunities for women in chess remained relatively scarce until just the last few decades. So, women have a lot of catching up to do. How good could they actually become? Well, innumerable studies have shown that on the intelligence spectrum, males tend to occupy the most and least intelligent percentiles on the spectrum (which helps to explain why most philosophical and technological advances have been made by men, and most of the world's idiots are also men). I'm not sure a woman could ever become world champion in any time format, but I do believe that it is quite possible, as Judit Polgar herself proved, that a Top Ten list of best players could consistently contain at least one woman -- though almost certainly not at #1. Of course, I'll happily admit my error if I should ever be proven wrong.

[@trumplostlol3007]

Men are often more obsessed with a particular thing. Women, I believe, have more diverse interests. And not many parents will encourage their girls to play chess any way. Chess like many other professions require a lot of hard work and dedication. Women are simply not encouraged or are willing to do that. It has too much sacrifice.

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

Pure poetry!

[@billhampton8004]

My Girl Alice the next Judit Polgar.

[@12jswilson]

I'm a simple man; I see an Alice Lee game, I will watch that game

[@RyanJFaulk]

Go, Alice! Great to see strong female players on their way up.

[@AbhinavDiego]

woww 😮

[@whitedog510]

Let’s go Alice!!

[@stoutlager6325]

I thought Alice was an IM now but it looks like the paperwork on that hasn't gone through yet. She has open applications for both IM and WGM pending.

[@Prof_du_secondaire]

In the bruce lee style in karate's attacks

[@Senshidayo]

Glad do see your subscriptions are slowly going up again @agadmator!

[@Sincere-101]

And She sacrificed the queen 😂

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

Top game - she is so young to be playing that well.

[@cygnustsp]

Funny how "you would definitely give up the rook and bishop for the Queen" and the game ends up rook and bishop beating a queen.

[@14-Peaks]

🎉🎉

[@akryptolus9074]

Isnt it possible to win the queen immediatly? At 5:15 (with the Rook on H8 )

[@b_rizzeler]

There is something to be said about the capacity of the younger generation to be smarter then the older ones

[@andynewsome3011]

My favorite channel!! Alice Lee games are insane🎉

[@nicbentulan]

Bella Khotenashvili also got upset by Philippine WGM Janelle Frayna at 2022 blitz WCC #suggestion 1st - World Cup Round 2 - Wesley So's girlfriend Carissa Yip as black beats chinese grandmaster xue zhao. (3 Chinese descent in 1 sentence. Lol.) #suggestion --- 2nd - World Cup Round 1 - Argentina gets zugzwang by Wesley So... ...'s girlfriend Carissa Yip Campos, Maria Jose (2212) Wesley So's girlfriend Yip, Carissa (2369) #suggestion --- 3rd - Alice Lee beat Wesley So... ...'s girlfriend Carissa Yip in 2023 USCC girls juniors. (3 Chinese descent in 1 sentence.) #suggestion Carissa is underperforming and even lost to a WGM because Carissa is distracted by a secret relationship with Wesley So that started in the 2022 Olympiad. Look at Carissa's X header. Notice both of them are defending champions but then underperform in their 1st tournaments after the Olympiad. Carissa Yip 2021 USCC women's - winner 2022 USCC girls juniors - didn't play but would've easily won if not for playing in 2022 USCC juniors instead 2023 USCC girls juniors - only 3rd place (should be 2nd minimum) Wesley So 2019 classical WFRCC - winner 2021 9LX - 2nd place 2021 USCC - winner 2022 9LX - only 5th place 2022 USCC - only 5th-6th place 2022 rapid WFRCC - only 6th place (should be 4th minimum; also for other 2) --- 4th - Timestamps Why not let viewers make timestamps in comments then you can pin the best timestamp comment and copy the timestamps to the video description? #suggestion --- 5th - Magnus cheats Anish in 2023 superbet blitz round 7 --> 3:22:36 in 8gw7XDq87C4 #suggestion --- 6th - Philippine women's chess - 2022 blitz WCC #suggestion WGM Janelle Frayna, the 1st and only Philippine WGM, upset Georgian GM (really GM not just WGM) Bella Khotenashvili at the 2022 world blitz. There's a 13-move UNDERPROMOTION puzzle here. [Variant "From Position"] [FEN "6k1/6b1/1p1P3p/6pP/3pPpP1/p2NqP2/6K1/5Q2"] 1. Qd1 a2 2. Qb3+ Kf8 3. d7 Qe2+ 4. Nf2 Ke7 5. Qd5 Kd8 6. Qe6 Bf6 7.

But Janelle did cover the game where e drew against Nemo, so maybe Janelle will cover this game later on. Later in 2023 Bella had a stupid choice for favourite world champion - Magnus Carlsen over Wesley So & Bobby Fischer. 60cuYM-amF0 So good thing Janelle had beaten Bella. --- P.S. Please help get Wesley So on Lex Fridman's podcast. See xcdhgq xcdhgq xcdhgq xcdhgq

[@Bill-bf6bc]

Alice will get her IM title soon. She has completed the norms.

[@alexfinck4637]

Alice Lee is an IM tsk tsk Antonio

[@jefflittle8913]

Curious - is it possible to get IM norms and GM norms at the same time or are GM norms only valid after promotion to IM?

[@lessormore001]

As far as titles go, GM may be the first one you've ever earn. Of course, you also fulfill the norms and raise the rating to all previous titles, but you can not report to FIRE your desire to use them.

[@mlss4908]

At 7:35, I thought that Alice was going to play Bd7 with the idea of getting her Bishop to e8 to shield the f8 square from the black Queen. ...Qf6 is met by Rf3 ...Qh8 is met by R×h4 ...Qf8 would be met by Rxh4, Rg4 and finally Rg8. This Bd7 interference move seems more elegant. Or am I missing something?

[@chrisdavidson8525]

Well, I am no master, but to my amateur eye it looks like you are going to want to defend the passer on f7. Bd7 looks clever, but really you have to defend f7 some way, so the bishop has to find another square afterwards. White does not care about the h4 pawn as it's kind of trivial - it has to get past the g-pawn and she just doesn't have time to defend the passer on f7 and advance this pawn safely. Retreating the bishop seems smart as you can defend from a distance, Bc2-b3 (after Bd7, maybe Be8...? But the bishop seems to be doing a much better and more active job from a distance) and it has the additional benefit of watching over Qd1+, which although not necessarily a threat at all - why allow tempo moves to be played? That's one way to slow initiative. Bc2 seems (again to my amateurish mind) to be more precise.

[@dennis9944]

[@PeteHart72]

As of 00.00, this is an entirely new video

[@Mantose262]

Pretty sure she is an IM elect, I think someone said that when she played in the under-18 women's championship at the St Louis chess club a few months ago. If she keeps playing the way she has been for the past year or so... She will probably be a GM next year or the year after.

At 2:42 queen to a2 White either move the king to d2 or to protect yourself from the next check If he moves the king to d2 black rook to d8 pining the queen If he doesn't move the king Then black plays queen a1 check forcing him to move to d2 Then do the same rook to d8 pinning the queen White is fucked either way😂😂😂😂😂 In this position white already lost
