Andrea Botez vs Dina Belenkaya || MOGUL Chessboxing

[@hughtube5154]

Since Agadmator did a detailed breakdown of the chess part, here's my summary of the boxing part: Round 1. Both fighters moved to the centre of the ring, Andrea bouncing forward in the orthodox stance (standing side-on, left glove forward, right hand back by the shoulder, ready to throw), Dina in the more upright, European stance (forearms either side of her head in a high guard). Andrea’s left jab scored, followed immediately by high hooks looking to get around Dina’s defence, landing blows on the Russian’s ears and cheekguards. Dina broke contact, escaping Andrea’s high energy combination punches by spinning out of the pocket, and then fought off the back foot, pumping out her jab to keep Andrea at distance. It worked; Andrea was kept at arm’s length, unable to gauge the distance, and when she tried the high energy combinations that had worked earlier she would find herself punching wide, high, or bending down at full extension to land body shots, which Dina evaded. It would prove to be Dina’s high point - while Andrea found early success head hunting in looping left and right crosses, Dina found most joy pouring her offence straight down the middle. But Dina couldn’t keep Andrea off her for long; Andrea’s energy and will kept her moving forward, so that when Dina forgot to jab, a sustained Andrea combination inside Dina’s guard rocked the Russian into full retreat, Andrea pursuing her relentlessly until Dina clinched to stop the onslaught. Tired, the Russian used both arms to fend off Andrea, not so much punching now but pushing the younger woman away, backing off and disengaging to eat time up until the bell sounded. The round ended just as Andrea unleashed another alternate hand combo that had Dina wobbling unsteadily on her feet. Round 2. Dina started the round by throwing out her jab, less successfully now because whatever force it had was lessened by being thrown while moving backwards and, because the trail hand would get pushed forward with the jab it meant Dina had no follow up punch and no defence. Andrea soon walked through that jab; a hellish Botez hayemaker sent Dina into full retreat and a swarming Andrea cut the ring off, re-engaging in several mini Alamos where Andrea’s superior punch output would rout Dina into conceding ground. Dishearteningly for Dina, whenever she did land Andrea would take it on the chin and keep moving forward. After one such right-left-right combination, Andrea forced a standing eight count. After that, Dina clinched, leaning on her opponent to slow her down, tying up the arms that had been winging in those fast, accurate hooks. Too, Dina adopted a more crouched stance, and the smaller woman presenting a smaller target behind her raised forearms seemed to momentarily slow Andrea’s offence. With twenty seconds to go Andrea mustered one last, sustained assault, an eight punch onslaught that had Dina slumped against the ropes but the bell rang before Andrea could land the knockout blow. Round 3 Credit to Dina’s corner, her trainer spent a LOT of time imparting instructions before the start of the round. Andrea’s corner man said a few words too, but not with the intensity that Dina’s trainer did. That strategy soon became apparent - Dina backing away out of arm’s reach so Andrea couldn’t easily engage. And whenever Andrea did connect with long straight jabs, Dina would already be moving backwards, taking the force out of it. But then Andrea cut the ring off, stepping inside Dina’s path to land a left hook to the top of the head that made Dina stumble, and Andrea’s follow up forced another standing eight count. When Andrea moved forward to re-engage, Dina moved sideways and back, circling the ring to stay out of harm’s way, throwing just enough punches (one) to not have the ref call the fight for Andrea. A clinch inside the final minute ate up the time, and when the ref broke them apart Dina took the time to breathe deep and back off. Needing a knockout in the next 40 seconds, Andrea caught a retreating Dina flush on the ear, leading to the second standing eight count. Apparently, this match had a three knockdown rule, so if Andrea could force a third standing eight count in the same round she would win on a TKO (technical knockout), and though she pressed ever forward, the referee stepped in twice to force the fighters apart, giving Dina the time needed to get to the end of the round and get back to the chessboard.

[@alekhinesgun9997]

You forgot the part where she forced the 3rd count, the ref started counting, and then the round ended so they for some reason didn’t count it as a 3rd standing count. Controversial to say the least

[@WhatIsSanity]

That's a really good breakdown, almost as exciting as watching the match and really easy to read. One thing though a third count was called by the ref before the bell. Five stoppages and three 8 counts is definitely a TKO.

And even more important I think was that Andrea's was in an overall better physical shape. Even though they had similar (almost none) boxing experience, Andrea fitness background was definitely in her favour. And then there is also the mind set, everyone is not borne a fighter regardless of the physical capabilities. This is probably the most important factor at this level.

Well yea that’s also true but agad said she (Andrea) had been preparing for awhile while the other lady was a last minute pick and only had about 1 month to prep which makes her hanging in there at a big disadvantage even more impressive.

[@jc3drums916]

@@kingofgamez83 I believe Andrea said she had 6 weeks. The first mention of the match in Dina's Twitter feed was posted just over a month before the event, but who knows when she actually got the call. They had a practice "match" where, in lieu of boxing, they had to exercise during the boxing rounds, and played online against one another for the chess rounds (Dina was in Paris at that time, of course). Andrea's cardio was vastly superior - Dina looked like she was going to throw up by the end of it.

[@tttITA10]

Fun fact: they played two matches online before (with high intensity callistenics substituting the boxing part, and with no rest between each chess round and the following boxing round), and Andrea won both of the matches on the board. So, even though their ratings are greatly apart in slow chess, this match was really, really balanced.

andrea literally got robbed by the ref, as is tradition in boxing. some things never change i guess

[@dubious_potat4587]

they played 3 games i believe with andrea winning 2 to 1

[@andresstadelmann7583]

At the same time you have to consider Dina was clearly outmatched by Andrea in the boxing section (which put her under more pressure to finish fast in chess which basically forced the unnecessary third boxing round), and Andrea purposely picked an opening that proves winning for black difficult in this time control. So she had a double disadvantage and was still able to pull through and basically destroy Andrea in the chess (besides that missed mate in 1)

@@stoutlager6325 If by "heat" we mean constructively called out but no hate, then at least some heat is warranted considering the ref is a supposed professional and thus the integrity of the sport is at stake.

They did announce recently that, after they the reviewed the footage, Andrea should've won. So they gave her the award as well, but the damage is already done (source: MogulMoves twittr (comment gets deleted every time i link)). Hopefully the ref learnt from his mistake and we get a rematch.

[@WhatIsSanity]

The position on the board was pretty even until this pawn to g3 move 10:30. With far more time on the clock and now a much better position on the board Belenkaya was dominating in chess. Botez annihilated in the boxing though and actually got a TKO in the last round but for some reason the ref didn't call it. Even the commentators ignored the third count even though seconds before saying Botez would win by TKO if another count happened. They both kind of won but for some reason the referee and commentators decided that third count never happened despite it being caught on camera, which is dodgy as hell. They both won but Andrea won first. What that ref did was the equivalent of saying play on with a checkmate on the board, totally absurd.

Weird strategy all around, especially for Lawrence and Dina. If you're rated over 2000 in chess why not take a few weeks to learn the simple stuff like how to clinch and the basics of jabbing and working on your footwork and pivoting. That should allow you to survive a few rounds of boxing. Dina and Lawrence were just walking into punches.

[@vigneshpb9]

I think she definitely did learn and practice it was more about having the stamina to last that long especially because Andrea has been into fitness for a much longer period and she could probably hold her own for a long time and she just needed to learn the boxing part, while Dina needed to do a bit of both. You could see her being incredibly exhausted in the match (not putting down her efforts though, it definitely is hard to hold out the way the contestants did considering they're all amateurs) trying to hold it out for as long as she could, even if she was able to throw some punches I'm not sure if it would have done any significant damage to Andrea

Why didn't the ref forfeit Andrea for stalling in chess? Dina even gave Andrea a chance: Up 3min on time but misses a mate in 1? As if. And Andrea stalling in chess: Against the rules? Stalling in boxing isn't. No robbery here? --- Look it up: in chessboxing, it's against the rules to stall in chess, but it's not against the rules to stall in boxing. --- Edit 1: Look at 22:16 - 22:34 in pHLcyYsfxB4 Andrea stalls for 18 seconds? THE LAST BOXING ROUND SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED? Edit 2: If there is no stalling rule in chess, then I will concede Andrea Botez is both boxing-robbed and chessboxing-robbed. I agree stalling rule is stupid, but rules are rules.

[@SacredLiquid]

Ok, but the ref broke them up and stood between them for like 6-7 seconds, enough to run the round out to the bell. Break them and move so they can fight. It *feels* like if the ref wanted to break them, why not call the 3rd stoppage or let them fight through the bell. I didn't think anyone thought it was a "robbery" because dina was evading in the ring.

They should have a time limit for each move. That'd avoid stalling and remove any need for a referee to intervene.

[@qazxswedcxzaqws]

The rules were modified in this event to allow for stalling as a tactic if the player wanted to risk some of their clock in exchange for more opportunities of boxing rounds. The main point of this rule is to prevent a player from beating another before any boxing even happens.

It seems the rules of chess boxing need a bit more refining. In normal boxing, not getting the KO but winning 100% of the rounds in a dominant fashion is a very clear win, but in chess boxing it's completely nullified by a fairly average, evenly contested game in the chess. Similarly a very dominant but unfinished game of chess could be completely nullified by a stoppage in a fairly evenly contested boxing section. In either case the dominant party might reasonably feel a draw or judges' decision would be a fairer result.

andrea absolutly knocked Dina out, the Ref was RIDICULOUS. Andrea destroyed Dina, it was brutal, she should have been given the win. Was absurd.

[@martinpaddle]

Chesswise Andrea is at the level of a decent club player and Dina almost IM level. So Andrea did really well to hold on and compensate in the boxing.

[@bengardner8639]

Dina is literally a WGM, not just "almost IM level"

[@martinpaddle]

@@bengardner8639 the rating requirement for WGM is 2300, while for IM it's 2400. She got her IM norms but narrowly missed out on the required 2400 rating. So saying "almost IM" is actually better than WGM.

Was Waiting for it. Also 1st

The video starts on 4:04

[@mishakmanuel1115]

Who's channel can I watch the chess boxing match from.. Didn't hear Agad properly

[@ivan8093]

Search: Ludwig

[@mishakmanuel1115]

Thanks

[@Stone2home]

Oy! Dat's a lotta gab there, Brotha!

[@LionHGH]

Finally a version of chess I can identify as female and dominate

[@dxnce7593]

I don't know who tf put A Grandmaster like Dina against someone who is not and Expect them to win! Its Mismatched The difference in not even close, Also Andrea usually use London so Dina definitely prepared before the match to that,she planned how to win against Andraa london! It's unfair tbh they should put Dina against GM like her & Andrea against someone who closer to her chess to make it fair tbh! The boxing was more fair bc They both trained for 6 weeks Andrea clearly trained harder for hours bc she know she had disadvantages so she had to train hard & hope for the best

[@bowrudder899]

The match we really want to see: Hans vs. Magnus

[@teoconserv9954]

5:45 "...and now they went into ninety minutes of boxing." You know, I would have watched full 90 minutes of them boxing,too, but we didn't get that much.

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

Why R U covering this game? Obviously the Myth guy vs Cherdleys was the best chess match of the night!!

[@dirk9787]

@Agadmator: "00:00 Hello Everyone! Are you even using these??" I am if the time stamps are there.

[@sslelgamal5206]

Put Hans and Magnus in this tournament 🤣🤣👌👌 Except instead of boxing it should be Sumo wrestling 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@404talentnotfound5]

YES AGAD WE USE IT!!

[@Brodzik-kz8nt]

I wish there was a Niemann vs Carlsen and Hikaru vs Hansen match

[@Figgy20000]

I can't wait for Hikaru vs Chris Hansen

[@obscurity3027]

All joking aside, Hikaru v. Eric would be amazing.

[@cordobes]

@@obscurity3027 Why? Eric is like twice the size of Hikaru and close enough at chess.

[@jiddeyjiddey]

1 inch makes up a huuge difference trust me😏

[@jessejordache1869]

One inch is nothing. What you should notice, even though it's a promo photo, is Andrea is leading with her left shoulder, which is correct (assuming she's right-handed). Dina's just putting her fists together. Already read in the comments that Andrea won the boxing part of it, which is what you'd expect from the photo.

[@victorianchan8638]

Disappointing that you didn't say "Ninja Checkmate", use the music of the Wu Tang Clan, or refer to one of the participants as a "Ghost Face Killer". Brush up on your memes Antonio! Anyway, I look forward to seeing next video.

[@olafslartibartfast5248]

So, what is next? Scuba-chess! played under water with 3 minute oxygen tanks. Or para-chess: played during free fall, the players may open their parachute only after one of them won the game (true Armageddon style)

[@SB-ex2px]

at 12:23 I would have tried white pawn h4 to make room for the white king on h2

[@abhishekjain3148]

If it were male players, there would be a good chance that the 28 year old would win at both chess and boxing vs a 20 year old guy, if they are at a reasonable physical fitness for professional chess players. The difference in energy level in the boxing match and the difference in the level of moves played on the board was clear.

[@JamesBong3333]

Pasts, passed, paths, its all the same 🤣

[@CharlieFleed]

You could always expand your already vast knowledge with some boxing theory, and knock out some friends at the library in the process.

[@miloradowicz]

We defo need debate-boxing. If you're out of arguments, just punch the opponent in the face.

[@24ghosh24]

11:27 why not simply h2 to stop the queen from infiltrating.

[@Tehdib]

I do use the time slices.

[@tangohotellima1895]

This video will have a great number of views (greater, that is, than usual). I can feel it...😍🙈

[@petermoller8337]

As of move three we removed all semi fake computer’s mobile machines moving moves and enabled movies and boxes

[@michalbotor]

spoiler. the interruptions by the ref were way too long.. andrea had to knock out dina in the third round and i believe she would have if it wasn't for the ref constantly interrupting the match. it was incredibly exciting to see them go into this third round knowing what's at stake but then everything was ruined. the crowd was furious, booing the show and rightfully so. in all honesty, andrea won in my heart: he was better on the ring and she was equal on the board; dina robbed herself of being better on the board when she missed a mate in one. big heart to her for being so kind and humble to her opponent after the match had finished.

[@jimmyewald]

"Are you even using these??" I do :)
