Alexandra Botez vs Sagar Shah | COB All Stars Exhibition Match ft. Samay, Divya

The COB All Stars has an exhibition match each day before the start of play. On the final day of the preliminaries it was IM Sagar Shah who was pitted against the well-known Twitch streamer Alexandra Botez. It was an exciting encounter where both sides had 10 minutes each with no increment. We have Samay Raina and Divya Deshmukh doing the commentary and towards the end of the video, IM Sagar Shah explains his thought process.
