The Difference Between a Master and a Grandmaster in Chess

[@AhmedKhalaf-rg4fv]

POV: When you realise that she has a fiancé and he plays chess and also a GM this is a lot 😂😂

[@wconradjr]

Loool. Riiiight? She’s got such a beautiful and attractive personality/charm. Not that I thought I ever had a chance anyway (but not that I’d turn down the chance if I got it) 😎

[@diya482]

ikr😭all at once

[@mohamedhanymohamed5897]

pov: you know both of them individually and never associated them together just to know he's her fiancé💀

[@hippiemuslim]

[@arnav7242]

Oh god😂😂

[@marekz.7430]

I like your fairness in this test, especially in Noel's answers. He doesn't pretend like he is seeing everything and has no problem to admit that he overlooked something. Very good content, everyone can test oneself.

[@lucienhiemsta4805]

What is the point of the video, if they both are not honest with their answers?

[@melvinroach5633]

I’ve asked for you and Noel to team up 3 months ago and you both agreed to do so. You both gave your word and you both delivered. I’m giving both of you your flowers right now because you didn’t have to do so and you did it anyway. For that I will always be grateful and because of that you will always be my favorite chess streamer. Your word is your bond. Your word is everything. At the end of the day all you have is your word. You both have shown me that not only y’all are great chess players you both are decent human beings. I can tell Noel was little nervous at first but once he started talking chess he was in his comfort zone. Thank y’all for this great content.

Really enjoyed and learned a lot from this. Plz make more videos like this

[@walterbrownstone8017]

He pays attention to his whole position. Maybe someday I will be able to do that. But I'm still bogged down with only looking at my own pieces.

[@LegendaryArchiver]

The analysis of the position by both isnt too crazy after I come over from Hikaru's but.. Yall look like such a sweet couple, nice to see two people share the same passion, too. 👌

Not really you can become tal, Karpov, Kasparov,Fischer but magnus comes at once in a decade.

No, Anna Cramling isn’t.

@@shibambhattacharjee5268a decade? So we are well overdue another magnus

[@Herschel3991]

Really interesting format, I‘d love to see more. One suggestion I have is not to dim the screen during the „5min“ transition, because its a natural pause point to stop and try to solve ourselves :-). Also in the second puzzle I was wondering what happens after fxg3 Nxg3 Qxh4 which I guessed after my 1min of investigation hehe. But of course I will right away check it myself with the engine. Thanks for the video again, very instructive as well as interesting

[@micaelam4375]

Ciao Alessia, bellissimo questo format, molto istruttivo. Spero che farai altri video così! :)

[@vov.7397]

She says, "I needed some time to see that." Me understanding that she sees most things about 50 times faster than me: yep, I need to only play correspondence chess.

[@joshuamphande2272]

I like your fiance,you should feature him more?

[@MarcusGray-b3f]

I wish on the last test you would have shown the way to a forced checkmate. It was clear to you but I had to find it. But I did find it.

[@jaschenski]

Way above my level but one choice you made was definitely 100% correct ... ☺️

👏🙂 Interesting perspectives

[@KancerKowboy]

Yes you should sprinkle more of these in from time to time. I think its a perfect length video too. Very informative to see how to evaluate positions.

[@gianluigicoluccio4193]

Che bello quanto si vede che sei innamorata

[@j-mo3129]

I like how you took your time going though the positions and then explained the lines . Actually moving the pieces so that the casual play can see the positions that arise was great. Overall a nice glimpse into top level chess for a patzer. Thanks.

[@rdplays5056]

"were very deep inside and if u wanna calculate at a grandmaster level" i see what u did there

[@charlesdarwin180]

I like this sort of analysis. My mind could only handle one though... Have to come back later for a short 2nd minilesson.

[@RealityCheck1]

Bf4 pins white's bishop to queen. If e4 then dxe4 now his bishop is moving back. You can figure it out from here. Anatoly Karpov would love this position. He is very positional & likes to push the opponent's pieces back. If you can't do forcing moves, try pushing his pieces back until lines open for attack. If you play a passive move in this position against Fischer, you may end up losing quickly as he is very technical.

[@queensgambit4982]

A chess master achieves a rating of 2300 FIDE . You are not a master in general terms you are a woman master not a FIDE master of 2300 . In a matter of fact a master rated 2300 would beat you 70% of the time based on Elo rating difference of 132 points (2300-2168 ). A rating of 2168 makes you an expert or a candidate master at most. It is very deceptive to call yourself a master in general strength using your title that is only given to women chess players.

[@mutigaben2038]

What's your FIDE rating?

[@SimsHacks]

She's NM level by USCF standards. So she is a master.

[@queensgambit4982]

@@SimsHacks you are actually wrong on 2 accounts. First USCF rating for NM is 2200. Which she does nt have . And even if she does your argument is still wrong because the vid aims to show the difference in strength and you can’t base it on titles given by diff institutions. She knew what she was doing here and it was clever to the point that you fell for it even in a different context that you created ( this shows that you don’t understand the concept ) . Let us say she is 2300 fide , that would make her WGM. A GM is 2500 and a WGM is 2300 .. they are both considered grandmasters in their league , but they are not equal in strength. 2500-2168 is 332 . 2500-2300 is 200. To make it simpler the title is irrelevant , what is relevant is the assumed difference in strength which is best derived from using the same rating scale.

[@sebastiangonzalezgonzalez2183]

Very instruvtive

[@MrManumona]

Sweet Alessia must refrain from moving the pieces while presenting her line, as his GM fiance obviously pointed out.Very good video nevertheless!

[@ChessJourneyman]

FIDE Masters start at 2300, not 2100. This is more like the difference between a candidate master and a grandmaster.

[@joseguerrero3196]

2100 is not 2300; a better title would be "the difference between a chess expert and a GM"

[@mikecantreed]

I follow Noel on twitter. Based on his writing I’m not surprised at how well spoken and concise he is with the explanations here.

The title is misleading, she compares WFM with GM and not FM with GM

Not easy at all to find the solutions in an actual game.

[@garypierce7380]

I think the difference is a Master is smart and adorable, while a Grand Master is like a nerdy kook who calculates too much, is a lot like Rain Man, and is probably no fun at parties.

[@smoothcoder1]

That's original. You seem to be a very cool dude
