Alice is my favorite 14 year old grandma. She just won the 2024 American Cup yesterday in a crazy day of chess.

when I was 12/13 I was playing Minecraft and peeing myself

[@Nishan.1.]

Better explanation than lord Hans

[@jujubean9063]

I was trading Pokémon cards at 13. I’m going to have to have a talk with my parents. What the hell were they thinking?

[@miyamoto900]

Ur parents aren't responsible for it... They might be busy in checking Facebook, attending parties in evening, or watching TV or Netflix... U should have done it yourself

[@jennyohara4011]

What a Beautiful Brainny Kid

[@sweetlemon9879]

she reminds me of gm pia cramling!

[@ste2158]

i never watched post-chess interviews until this tourney, so idk if it's customary but i don't like the interviewer suggesting what the players should be doing and interrupting them. let them speak and analyze and you just ask questions and follow ups!

[@ItsAsparageese]

When the interviewer is another top player they often get excited and banter a bit like they're used to when just hanging out, I've noticed. Cristian is a well intentioned sweetheart, but yeah he did accidentally interrupt her a few times and it did strike me as a bit unusual. I'm sure it wasn't deliberate and he strikes me as the sort who would review his interviews and notice it and improve on it himself, but I do agree that it's a point of feedback worth expressing!

[@ItsAsparageese]

Also in retrospect a few instances of his crosstalk were because he needed to insert some laypeople explanations in there for less experienced viewers, so those were a matter of performing the role he's there for. But yeah a few times I think he just got overly enthusiastic and could have let her keep her momentum up instead, yeah

[@abhijitsarkar7257]

playing vienna was white's prep,how nazi lost i dont understand

[@DMSBrian24]
