Alexandra's mistake was at 7:55, she should've taken the bishop with her queen, this takes out the bishop and threatens the queen while putting it in a pre-check position, even if the other team chose to do a queen exchange, she would've still had the material advantage having a rook alongside the other pawns.

You might have heard of power in unity. I mean if was like just total up the rates of the guys and + Andrea it was like 6vs1. It was surely an advantage

if its like 5 800s versus a 1500 then they are much stronger than 1 800 because of the reduced number of one move blunders, but past a point i agree

It was mate in one at 10:25 if you take the rook they king can’t take back being checked, king can’t move up cuz the bishop and can’t move diagonally in the top left bc the queen is also guarding the area

The thumbnail for this video makes it look like a Brazzers production

[@Blasterman86]

Let's be real here. If most of them had 1400-1500 and one had 1900, this was essentially a match between a 1900 and Botez. The depth of knowledge that the 1400-1500 have, would not be enough to make useful contributions in critical moments. The game-changer was Andrea's introduction to the mix - another high-rated player providing depth into the game.

9:57 that was a missed win for white. white rook could've moved to g1, eaten the pawn on g6, and made a check. the king would've moved to h7 and that would've been where the queen eats that bishop. the king couldn't eat the queen due to the rook protecting her, resulting in a checkmate.

Let’s be honest we all know the 5v1 reference here and to take it up a notch. So does Alex 😂

[@anonymususer1728]

I know this was made for fun, but if you decide to follow up on it, you can make it more interesting / challenging with a few tweaks: 1) The "expert" should be on for a limited amount of moves, let's say around 5. Also the expert should preferably be higher rated than Alex (Levy, Eric Rosen). This would make the "lifeline" feel more impactful. Otherwise, if there's no limited time, you have 2 undesirable consequences: a) The "lifeline" is not a lifeline, because it would be called in from move 1. b) Since you play all the game with the lifeline, the other players will not matter anymore, it will turn into Lifeline vs Alex. I know this would have the downside of not having Andrea in the video (which would be a shame), so maybe you could just add her to Alex's team. Make it a 2 vs 7 ?! 2) The opponents should all be of similar rating (less than 100 rating difference between lowest and highest). In this video the 1900 guy should really have taken initiative and call the shots since he is so much better than the other 4, according to the rating. As an alternative to the point above, you could still have a wide range of ratings among the opponents, but then they should each take turns in moving. They can still consult each other to decide the move, but if there's disagreement the decision is ultimately with the guy who's turn it is to move - thus giving some semblance of agency and involvement to each player, not just the 1900 guy. Salutari, fetelor ! 🙂 PS: I barely even know the rules of chess, but I still watch you guys because you're entertaining :)

[@RigoVids]

you can stalemate a bit better by taking the bishop to the f4 square, which allows the pawn to promote and then you can box her into the bottom right square cause the bishop is dark squares. unfortunate is was an h file pawn that survived, but whatever. if it was a g file you could've pulled through with a checkmate ending if you played carefully.
