@122Rosco Calm dowm there buddy, if she was so rude why does she have so many friends in chess? It's her Russian humor is all it is man. I didn't like that she didn't attend the closing ceremony but let's not pile on her standard humor.

[@notme222]

These two are a great duo. Because Anna is the nicest person in chess and Dina is ... Dina.

Amazing format and great analysis.

[@rays2794]

You guys are great together because Dina is like the dark, trash talking bad guy and Anna is the bubbly, sweet nice guy, which makes it fun to watch the interaction between the different styles. That’s not a knock on either of you because I can tell you are a lovely, fun person Dina and Anna is a tough serious chess player. You both have created great “content characters” of yourselves and I watch both of you on KZbin.

[@Ozzy.Kopec1]

At 19:52, when Dina explains the theory of staying away from the table she should had said it was the Russian School of Chess rule 86. (86 being slang for disposing of someone)

[@fess04]

this is deep. thanks for the insights on a hard fought game guys.

[@jeremykothe2847]

Is it just me or does Dina have a way of moving the pieces that is just soooo smooth?

[@Sergei_Goncharov]

Anna's sincerity and laughter - is what I like most. Even if she is not as strong player as Dina but she is so cute.

[@nigelbrayshaw2709]

You are both incredible players, you two have me loving this game again. Brilliant analysis Dina and Anna!

[@PeterManger]

I loved watching the emotion and loved the honest discussion!

[@patricknaera]

I am not a real chess enthusiast and dabble with my students at school, but the analysis and game review are so interesting and captivating, which has inspired me to explore a little more about basic openings and strategies. Thanks from New Zealand.

[@rikvanderlinden7519]

Despite I don’t play chess, I really love to watch your videos. Really cool!

[@pamesposito2628]

I really enjoyed this video. It was interesting to find out how much of the game can be psychological even among experienced, top players. Great content!

[@markmeluskey2278]

Dina’s memory is incredible. “You actually moved here because you were probably trying to…”

[@mmathems395]

This was some nice content Dina. I think I saw a side of you in here that I didn't think existed. Very nice. Anna made you smile? 😅That's sooo sweet 😊I saw the game between you and it was a good one. Thank you for this content.

[@edwinscheibner7941]

Two delightful, intelligent, fast talking people sharing their passion for chess. This was an enjoyable conversation to listen to.

[@DFGdanger]

I like the format! Really like hearing both your thoughts on the mental part of the game, how you chose your moves to throw off your opponent, how you manage your time, etc. Also nice to see analytical, non-trash-talk Dina every now and then! Only a couple little things to improve: there were a couple times you temporarily forgot what move was played. Would be good to keep the move list handy so you can easily refer to it and get back on track quickly. And the audio - bit of an echo in the room you were in and the mic got bumped a couple times.

[@arjenlaan4103]

Very nice game, very swingy. And it is so much fun to also hear about the psychology behind it!

[@gokulkrish7632]

Dina - we want a friendly match with Praggg and Gukesh , Try if possible

[@jonathanruano4973]

I love how Dina doesn't laugh when Anna is laughing over the idea of walking away from the board and letting the opponent think too much (and run into time trouble). What's funny about that is Dina is deadly seriously and she's wondering, "Why does Anna find that so funny?"

[@reineh3477]

I wish more chess players did this, sitting down after the game and discussing it with their competitor.

[@jonweman6128]

Haha, Anna thought Dina stayed away from the table to give her space but it was actually a trick to make her burn more time.

[@quicktastic]

When someone is passionate about something, it can show on your face when things go wrong. An outside observer can interpret that with the person being mean or that they are angry at the other player, but it is typically internal stuff. Just need to walk away for a while and sort it out. Most good chess players are probably introverts to begin with (not meant as a bad thing btw, it's just that introverts are frequently misunderstood).

[@prisonBob]

this is one of the most entertaining matchups i've ever seen with the masterful psychological plays and chess plays lol

[@IstadR]

Amazing content, we need more of this. I would love seeing this for all your games, and then I remember what you said on live chat. You and Jules would never talk about that game ever again. 😢 But, I'm also wondering if you have heard of this strange consept called sleep? It's said it is good for you, you should try it some time.

[@drh3rd]

Be nice you guys. Well, Anna is always nice. But... at the end of the day/game, support each other. The controversy thing is a fun hook but it can be a bit tiresome.

[@ngneer999]

The game was excellent as entertainment; so much emotion. I hope you can do a rematch at Botez Chess Camp 2025 although it would be better if it were the last game of the tournament, not the first. Definitely a 'Clash of the Titans' event.

[@couchpotatoe91]

I always imagine Dina having an old Russian mentor secretly meeting her after her games, scolding her for every wrong move she did and for reminding her that overconfidence is a slow and insideous killer, scolding her for unnecessary flamboyance and unnecessary fun. I also imagine that coach looking like Konstantin from "killing Eve". 😂 In reality though, I'm pretty sure she has a coach like this in her head though. 😁

[@kevinfairclough4619]

This game they’re replaying was a fun game, I’ve seen it from different channels. Love both these players. Dina puts on the fruity shirt/blouse [I think] as a form of respect to her opponent. She has changed into it part way through games in casual competition before, for effect. They are the Yin and Yang characters of chess, and play it well.

[@notme222]

Excellent review, but ... [looks at post time] shouldn't you be sleeping??

[@pcpartsonly]

thumbnail is wronggggggg. it should be-"Are you serial??"

[@liefde1911]

Two gorgeous women and chessplayers…..

[@psychohist]

Anna's only real problem right now is that she will occasionally play a move that she "really likes" emotionally, even though it's unsound. She did not do that in this game, and her GM taught instincts stood her in good stead, such as with looking first at grabbing the opposition at 23:57. Also, Dina spent the night prepping against an opening that Anna knows is a meme opening and doesn't play seriously, while Anna spent the night sleeping while her GM mom prepped for her. Having a strong team helps too.

[@billbrandine5857]

She's as good as Dina, despite Dina's approx. 200 more points in ranking, which is not a big difference in ability or talent.

[@dhnguyen68]

Anna is so sweet, Dina better player and very good commentator !

Having both of your parents being GMs is kinda OP... of course is not her fault but it kinda is an avantage. They of course can't play for you, but sharing their experience 24/7 can make it a little bit lighter, yeah?

[@Krmpfpks]

I recently learned that pineapples mean your interested in swinging. Now I am wondering about the trend that Hikaru started…

My advice in life: Find someone that looks at you like Dina is looking at Anna at 0:50

WTF. I thought that the streamer focused chess players weren't that interesting (beside Hikaru maybe) but this is actually good. I missed out.
