No idea how anyone can say any of these people are bad for chess.

[@DinaBelenkaya]

They just don’t have any taste

[@JakeKoenig]

Who is saying that? This channel and the Botez channel have overwhelmingly positive comments.

[@Klont123]

I don’t think they do, it’s just Andrea’s ‘how do knights move’ question that set a wrong foot.

[@TheRuns2]

@@Klont123 Do you know the inside joke behind that?

[@jamesrawlings5781]

@@Klont123 Just fyi, you don't 'set a wrong foot'. You 'get off on the wrong foot', or 'set the wrong tone'. And for what it's worth I thought her question was amusing and Magnus appreciated it.

[@spudanky]

That’s a dangerous woman, who points to her forehead and calls it an elbow. Masterful subtle psychological intimidation tactics demonstrated here 💪

[@distantdynasty3548]

Bravo alexe as loser!

[@woolyimage]

The real star is the young girl sitting next to Andrea who did really well when she played despite all the chatter between the adult players. She sat and carefully watched most of the games. Perhaps a budding star of chess?

[@FelixIsGood]

Watch her play, there is a video and she is really good.

[@LaggardlySort]

She looks like Matilda

Considering how well you played, i am considering wearing checkers for my next match.

[@smurug85]

*The amount hostility in trash talking is so scary.*

[@ironmiketeam4689]

Botez sisters are cool but the clock control and the long distance view by Dina is just superior, Andrea is one funny Troll ;) Distracting Alex for sure ;D

[@pablo_ramone]

Dina you're a very strong player. I'd love to play against you one day. Cheers from Argentina! (nice to see you're interviewing the candidates in Madrid)

[@jumalegacy9645]

Haha I love Andrea's voice has it deep n I love the ways she is denying that she is distracting the sister yet she is

[@jimmarshall5453]

Intentionally!

[@isicummings870]

Sister trying her best to distract the challenger, she had none of that.

The trash talk was very funny and wholesome at the same time

That little girl with the front row sat is so cute, soaking up all the chess knowledge.

I’m curious what Dina said about Andrea’s love and a few other things that were lost in the background noise. Great video and trash talk as usual :)

[@cnotation]

If Dina enters your chess cafe it's best to quickly finish your wine and clear out.

[@kpNov23]

Keep busy commentating championship 💪

Thanks !!

Team Belenkaya all the way! 2-0!🌹 👌 🔥

When you have to play Ra2 in the opening, you can be pretty sore you’ve gone seriously wrong.

Dina dressed very appropriately for a chess match. One of the Botez sisters seems to have been wearing an inflatable life-jacket, perhaps because they were a bit out of their depth.

Pure Gold Entertainment. Fast chess, Fast Mouths and Trash talk lol. Andrea THE ART OF BEING RELEVANT WITHOUT BEING RELEVANT. ROLMFAO

[@quill444]

The kind of wonderful inclusion and acceptance and community that can and does and will produce more top female Chess competitors is that which occurs as demonstrated here by the Botez Sisters, Alexandra and Andrea, among others, and their recent trip to Europe and beyond gives an excellent example of the kind of nurturing that, in my opinion, will serve to instill the proper confidence and strength needed to encourage more women to play chess. The full, five-and-one-half hour Twitch video titled "CHESS BAR IN PARIS | Botez Abroad | Blitz Society Bar" had already been seen by more than 750,000 viewers even when it was just a week old, and it is well worth watching, as we see "A little girl who challenges a female grandmaster at a chess bar in Paris" with WGM Anna Rudolf, WGM Dina Belenkaya, and Italian FIDE Master, Alessia Santeramo. 💚 - j q t -

[@ssnssn7530]

Да это жестко

[@Christoff070]

Dina always seems like she is subtly trolling the world. This means there is a deeper part of her that she hopes others will resonate with. It also means she sees the absurdity in life. Also, she doesn't suffer fools or those who do take life too seriously, or are unable to laugh at it. All these things means she secretly hopes to meet someone who has great sense of humour but who is also more relaxed than her, but not in a clownish way. Therefore she needs an evolved person as a partner, as a friend, someone who understands the rules and either embraces them completely or sees through the completely and is even willing to break them (respectfully). If the person is the former, the relationship will be stable but could become boring. If they are the latter, the relationship will almost always be interesting and varied but could become unstable and have heated arguments unless both people know how to communicate respectfully. Secretly, you also want a partner who can troll you as savagely and subtly as you can troll others.

[@Elmirgtr]

Wtf you are such a creep. Get a life

[@jimmarshall5453]

GOOD analysis! Given the opportunity, I'd be one seeking the interesting relationship. She can own the chess world, grow into the vlogging world and I'd be there to entertain, distract, discuss, commiserate, and support her fascinating face endlessly. She is deep and deserves someone just as deep but in different directions.
