My Most Awkward Chess Match vs An 8-Year-Old Kid

[@t0_much_ink]

Just 2 kids playing chess

[@James-sw9vm]

I find it weird Andrea refers to herself as a kid when she's 22. Like 22 isn't even university age anymore

[@SMacCuUladh]

@@James-sw9vm 22 year olds don't know shid, they're all kids to me.

[@Saboteur4]

@@James-sw9vm Have you seen her in videos? She clearly has the mind of child lol

[@MichaelgoestoBitburg]

​@James-sw9vm nah, people should grow at their own pace. If someone doesn't want to go straight to college at 18, they should be able to do so without being judged.

[@dominikmarton2370]

[@Karragh]

kid stonewalls almost everything Andrea says with no response, but "I heard you beat my sister." Kid immediately nods with a big grin.

he's just being shy. he's only 8. not into talking with adults or trash talking yet

nah the kid was clearly much stronger

[@lwalker8785]

Kid: Who is this crazy lady talking to?

[@luqmankhan-ym4gx]

lmfao. almost spilled my coffee.

[@Danceofmasks]

At least 8 year olds don't say, "if I beat you, we're going on a date"

[@AmirSatt]

I love this quote without context

[@abdelpayen4885]

Yeahh, lots of dudes play just to get a date

[@NickRayey]

someone says that?

[@cezar-lt1lc]

if i beat you, you babysit me

[@ilia9876]

[@DobroSC2]

It's funny that he plays chess better than he speaks.

[@laurasanchez7105]

He had no time for small talk, he was just there to win hahahaha

[@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time]

And Andrea always speaks better than she plays.

[@CallidusAnguis]

Why?

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

This applies to almost anyone who's good at chess. Extroverts like the Botezes and Cramling are exceptions

[@SycoticSociety]

He did not hesitate to think at any time during this match. Which, is a sign of a prodigy. Definitely, a future GM.

[@cjbrown1979]

The twins got beat by a kindergartener. Mad respect for that little dude.

[@gabrielfranklin4237]

They aren’t twins

2nd grader lol

[@ewwthatsgross2]

He could be a 3rd grader. Usually, unless the kid was kept back a year in elementary school, ages follow this pattern: age 3-5 Pre-school. Age 5-6 Kindergarten. Age 6-7 1st grade. Age 7-8 2nd grade ( my birthday was in September so I was 8 in 3rd grade). Age 8-9 3rd grade. And so on until 12th grade age 17-18.

[@me31323]

Kid doesn't talk to inferiors, not worth his time.

Very few adults either.

this is straight up child abuse.. that kid is a bully

[@WintermintP]

Newer titled players are getting younger and younger bruv. And I found out that Levy is actually two months younger than me

[@ShastaBean]

3:52 - "how long you been playing chess for?" Tommy: "how long you been talking nonstop for?"

[@harshadpaymode6977]

The kid doesn't understand your trash talks and that's his superpower.

"What's it like being 8"

No 8 year old has an answer to that question.

[@frickxnas]

@@HunterShows Well she meant an 8-year old playing against adults often and winning. Not every 8-year old's piece of cake.

this kid is so cute, also the boy played well

wow he understands chess very well

I want to see Anna play Tommy. One who play very fast, one who does not.

[@perezpepito104]

He will never play more beautiful women.

[@captainhappy]

Wow that smaller kid has huge advantage everyone thinking small kids cant play chess. The bigger kid is still looking for skills.

[@mellow-jello]

Rematch in 10 years, that would be interesting.

[@RJ-wj6kv]

never had so much compassion with andrea :( poor thing :)

[@TheSlavicSpirit]

The girl talks too much. She probably wouldn't have lost if she had stayed quiet and focused on the game instead of blabbering so much

Thus, women.

[@manum5550]

andrea worse enemy is silence the kid knows.

[@chesaak]

The tactic of disorienting the opponent by talking didn't quite work here. Never underestimate your opponent, no matter how old or innocent they look. ^^

[@glen-eg9fw]

Botez: What is your favorite part of playing chess? Tommy: winning

[@riteshsenpai6572]

If you look closely there's also a kid playing

Pretty cool to see her playing the Jobava! 😮

[@CommonSapien00]

What is the threat at 2:51 ?

[@yourtruelordandsaviour]

There is no threat. Andrea didn't calculate. She probably meant to play nxf7 kxf7, qxe6+ kf8, sacking her knight for two pawns and open files to the king, but the move wouldn't have worked even if Tommy had allowed it. For starters, all of black's pieces are in the center, providing ample protection while white has literally no attackers beyond the queen and the rook. There is just no follow-up to the sacrifice, no checkmate, no way to win the bishop on e7. Also, white gives up their strongest piece here which severely limits the positional compensation of the (semi-)open files. In that line, black consolidates and is just up a piece in a winning endgame. Black's qd6 prevented that knight sack because the follow-up qxe6+ could have been met with qxe6 instead of moving the king back. White takes back with the took and is still down a knight for two pawns but now - without their queen or their knight - doesn't even have slim chances of any attack whatsoever. Black's qd6 is fine, but just finishing your development with 0-0 would have been better. Not by a lot, but still better.

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

@@yourtruelordandsaviour yeah this comment section isn't chess experts, they just click because girl lol I, for one being an actual chess player who's about the same level as Andrea, welcome your comment and agree with it; adding that in the Qd6 Nxf7 line you mentioned White would straight up lose a rook as well since Black king takes it in the end

[@yourtruelordandsaviour]

​@@JimmyBoosterCrate Thanks for the addition, similar strength here. I should probably have mentioned rxe6 in the original comment but didn't know how if lines longer than three moves complicated the explanation beyond the point of comprehensibilty. Explaining chess is kinda hard when you a) don't know the strength of the player you're explaining it to and b) are an absolute noob in both chess teaching and in strength relative to all the really strong players running around in some other comment sections.
