Alex said "bet" at the end

[@championsclicktjelikebutton]

No replies let me fix that

[@polishlithuaniainanutshell5146]

Dina after this:

[@ItrigospikeI]

3 hours 10 likes. Bro fell off

[@anuragsakure3351]

Maybe someday Andrea will become annoying in terms of beating in this game for Alex. Hey let's just arrange one more game in June and that game should feel like it's the World Cup final game. If Andrea wins that game Alex should become a slave of her own sister for the whole one month. 😂😂😂

[@spotgryphon9046]

you know shit is real when @chess replies💀💀💀

[@anispinner]

Let me guess, Botez won

[@nandenayo3_catsandraw]

How are you furter seer

[@curtainz.]

Nope it was A. Botez

[@GeofCates8075]

Perfect comment to be showing when scrolling.

[@kimaboe]

The Hammer vs Dina match was equally brutal as the one on the board.

[@mydogsareneat]

That was savage hahaha

[@ciri151]

"I really want to surprise her" "I need to outsmart her" Plays the London...

[@InedibleSushi]

the "ugly wall" thing was one of my personal highlights of the tourney. the way dina tried to wiggle her way out of what she just said was quite funny aswell.

[@UAuaUAuaUA]

She could just have said the word wall, but then the word ugly just slipped out first 😉

[@psychohist]

@@UAuaUAuaUA I think the "ugly" adjective was just to contrast to the "beautiful" attached to the Ferrari.

[@lakshay-musicalscientist2144]

Fun Fact : Alexandra went undefeated in the tournament with 8.5/9 points 12:32

[@bitterblue8115]

No one can destroy the ugly wall confirmed

[@123amsterdan456]

and Dina was technically correct which is the worst kind

[@mikewilliams6025]

@@sneezylasagne8534 I guess this means Dina has to put "Alexandra Botez is equal to me at chess."

[@123amsterdan456]

@@sneezylasagne8534 I understood as "You will win a maximum 8 out the 9 games." Which happened, she won 8 and drew 1

[@InedibleSushi]

@@sneezylasagne8534 she wasn't talking about points, though. she said she's gonna win 8 out of 9 games max. which happened to be the case.

[@jashepoon]

The commentary is just ruthless roasting and I love it

[@lawrencerisley7231]

Be sure to watch the end of round 8 coverage when Dina tries to crack Hammer with the hanging sentences. It's just before Alex calls in, about 4:36:00 Alex heard part of it, she loves it too when Dina tortures Hammer. Dina slays me. Great job Hammer and Dina.

[@winkue6280]

Hammer and Dina both have very clear favourites😂

[@arjenlaan4103]

The banter during this game was awesome 😁

[@Soress9]

It was better that way than to see them gang up on one of them.

[@lwalker8785]

Well Dina has given Andrea lessons, so there's pride at stake.

[@SmudgleGaming]

The arrows coming out of the queen 😂

[@irrelevant_noob]

6:05

[@coltith7356]

Damn that ugliest wall line will always make me hysterically laugh, it brings me to tears every time 😂

[@psychohist]

8:28 for those who want to replay it. Repeatedly.

[@droidgeist]

This edit makes the interview look funny, but honestly it felt really tense between Alex and Dina. Dina is just abrasive and annoying, IMO.

[@psychohist]

@@droidgeist It was tense for a bit, but look at how it helped pull Andrea out of her funk.

[@droidgeist]

@@psychohist ... Did it? Watch the interview in full for herself (not the edit you see here). Andrea finds the whole interview incredibly awkward and does her best to smooth things over and finish it ASAP.

[@psychohist]

@@droidgeist I went back and rewatched it from the stream recording, and I'm seeing the same thing I saw live and in the edit here. Andrea was unhappy - obviously since she lost - even when Dina was trying to console her about her play, until she found out from her sister reading chat that she got compared to a Ferrari. Then she cheers up and says, "I may not be the better sister but at least I have the Russians on my side." And Alex is smiling at the joke too; I think she also appreciated how it helped cheer up Andrea. To me it looked like Alex only really got unhappy at what Dina was saying when Dina criticized her habit of moving her pieces back to the 8th rank, which was a legitimate criticism.

[@shibahodl]

I love Dina and Hanmer’s chemistry as hosts.

[@MrSupernova111]

You mean lack of chemistry and awkwardness.

[@timtheenchanter6393]

And Alex took a bite out of Andrea and won the match.

[@not_emerald]

This was the most fun tournament I've seen in a while. Also, Hammer is a great commentator, I don't think people appreciate that enough, and even Dina, stumbling her way through English was great. Congrats to Alex for the huge tournament performance "Copium" is a great word indeed

[@drunkenhobo8020]

The funny thing is, if Andrea had won and all of the other results had remained the same, Alex would still have won the tournament but Andrea would be tied for 2nd.

[@DavidKnowles0]

Alex would still have felt like she lost the tournament and Andrea would feel like she won a world title.

[@123amsterdan456]

They would face different opposition tho, can't really compare

[@psychohist]

See, if they'd followed Dina Botvinnik's Russian School of Chess recommendations, that's exactly what would have happened!

[@alinevennemann1904]

Alex would have been broken, no way she would have scored well later on.

[@lestmak]

Swiss system would have pitted Andrea against stronger opponents in the subsequent rounds, so we can’t say that she would have had the same results.

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

Andrea will NEVER be better until she strays from that London system. It simply is too difficult to get an opening advantage against higher rated players consistently.

[@gogee8510]

This was a brilliant match when I watched it live. Love the hand shake at the start of the match. Was rooting for Andrea. She is getting better every game she plays. Loved the commentary.

[@psychohist]

Andrea is improving fast. Alexandra also gained quite a bit of rating, though; maybe we'll see her with an FM tag soon. I wonder if she got a WIM norm in any of these European tournaments, or how close Andrea is to WFM - the FIDE rules are opaque to me.

[@elizabeth4689]

the whole ferrari metaphor was crazy

[@pilgrimoftheworld]

Great job winning the tournament!! I watched most of it live, and really enjoyed the commentary.

[@gregb210]

Really fun tournament. I enjoy Hammer and Dina commentary they're great together. Congratulations to Alexandra for the tournament win and congratulations to Andrea for a great tournament as well. It will be interesting to see if they do indeed go to Norway.

[@starpetalarts6668]

I was there, Dina expected it. She said it live.

[@TheExplorer2K]

That was honestly a great match, props to you Andrea and Alexandra

[@rebel_jedi]

Hammer's face at 6:18 is priceless 🤣🤣🤣

[@adambananas7741]

I love the commentary

[@XxKidnoffxX]

The ugly wall is solid, it won't fall.

[@t0_much_ink]

Honestly, it was a great game and an entertaining one with hammer and dina commenting on it and am very happy I got to experience it

[@BryanV4]

I followed this tournament with you guys daily, amazing one

[@MattDawgGaming]

Love the commentators they add a ton of humor

[@notme222]

I'm pretty sure that Hammer won the commentator trash talk game.

[@ninja4O5]

Bro if Andrea had won Alex would have literally killed her fr 😂

[@Romial34]

The editing is top notch, well done.

[@mega.monica]

I was waiting for the "I kneww your little gremlin hands couldn't resist that sacrifice" from the Live stream 😂

[@ptastydactyl]

Levi told me you won the whole shabang! Congrats you go girl!

[@user-ty5di3ku6o]

This was the first chess match I watched live. Dina and Hammer had me laughing, Andrea and Alex had me laughing. It was a great match. My first time watching a match on KZbin couldn't have been any better.

[@freecycle53215]

You two are so full of life and good energy. 👏🙌✌️

[@maxmantycora5132]

I love hearing what Alex says at the end. She's happy to win, but not that her sister loses. LOVE. ❤

[@Heinlein.]

It is refreshing to see two unbiased commentators. Hammer & Dina were the dynamic duo during the tournament and chicken salad conversation 🧀 🔨

[@RyanMorey1]

I love the banter between hammer and Dina lol

[@daytonkarr]

Old news to me Alex. I already watched Levy break it down so I could get the learning points. Congrats on your win and am rooting for Andrea in future sibling battles

[@SMG2fanatic]

I loved how they could barely contain their excitement at the start of the match 😄

[@ilya9757]

Forget the chess match, Dina and Hammer were the true heroes 🤣

[@doug3691]

Congratulations, Alexandra, on your Tournament win. And Andrea, this one Did look good for quite a while.

Wait you’re so underrated! I thought you would have atleast 50k subs, because your quality is really high, but no. Keep going man I’m sure you’ll make it one day

[@johnh5259]

Is it possible to get the PGN of all 9 of Alexandra's games from this event? Are the games on a website somewhere? Bravo to both for 8.5/9 and 6/9.

[@thechuckberryfan98]

This is some good coverage, nice and short, easily consumable. Thank you for this content 😊 I note that Andrea said she’d like to surprise her sister 😅 So then she thought to play the same opening that she always plays 😢 You can’t make this up 😅

[@TheArneSaknussemm]

This was great to watch live. Epic game in a great tournament 🎉

[@moneymaker8815]

Awesome job Alex! I also want to congratulate Andrea for going 6/9 and 11th ! Also, the 14 year old who got 2nd!

[@mytube785]

Great sibling rivalry 😂😂. Keep it up!!! Andrea: keep your spirits up, you don’t need Stanford to be a better chess player 😅. Plus, Dina needs you to ride your beautiful Ferrari more skillfully 😅

[@darkmaster022003]

We know Alex's weakness is kids, but at least there's one kid she can still beat.

[@michael20223]

I would love to see them make a podcast lol

[@TheFonzieCommunity]

In my opinion, and honest pov is that until Andrea can play more than just the London; while adding a title to her name as a good chess player. I think she won’t be equal to Alexandra in level, but even so… she is a great chess player that can beat a lot of players; another not everyone or a reasonable amount of people that have a title. I am definitely a fan of both, but more Alexandra than Andrea..

[@mdumdum38]

I was really hoping that Botez would win but I'm glad that Botez won, even though Botez was always gonna be the favourite to win against Botez

[@AnirudhMathur17]

That dude's death stare from behind the plants at 6:36 is scaring the hell out of me ... 😆

[@spagghettiwarrior66]

Ahh Andrea you were doing so good :(

[@DevlinDomini]

The tournament was very entertaining.

[@TheFonzieCommunity]

6:14 😂 the reactions!!!

[@JenniferX-]

The best move in chess is to KO your opponent with one punch and let their timer run out.

[@ticotube2501]

I guess I am a fan now. The Botez girls are so funny and this loving rivalry just makes great stories. Oh, and Andreas DJing is getting INSANE. So powerful. She should get in touch with Klangphonics for some kind of wild coop.

[@andrewburnett9677]

It was fun watching the tournament and listening to Dina and Hammer. Hope we get more of them.

[@faustrocket565]

Dina was crushed by the wall.

[@brun4775]

Why is there a photo of Andrea on the wall?

[@easer777]

Having the chessboard jumping around at the screen make it really difficult to actually follow the game, next time, please set up the camera and screens so that the chess board stay in the same position....;- ) ;- ) ;- )

[@ertjg]

in the background seems like alireza got humbled and now plays smaller tournaments

[@thechuckberryfan98]

Wow! Alex heard Dina say that? Hmmm, that would definitely be motivating. And I liked the confidence with the smile right at the end 😉 I should be more suspicious 😎

[@mikewilliams6025]

It's more like a shiny new beautiful Ferrari smashing into a steel-reinforced beautiful alcoholic Ferrari. But I understand analogies are hard when it isn't your first language.

[@zinstonehead]

:-D

[@jashepoon]

12:32 "Maximum 8 out of 9" Yeah about that, Dina...

[@oOPPHOo]

Maybe she meant 8 victories of 9 rather than 8 points out of 9. If so, she got it right.

[@psychohist]

Dina offered to change her Twitter handle but Alexandra declined it because she didn't go 9/9.
