all of us onow who's the best entertainer here, not hikaru obviously 🐢💨
nice slow calm explanation! but better to follow along while giving the option for 1.25 speed if someone wanted. Also, maybe I'm wrong but it looks like you've lost weight! U go girl!
1:32 queen a3 looks really strong here
0:11 Who asked
Why did I ever open this vidya zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Do not blame Hikaru. He is “decent”.
Jeez if you're gonna cry about it..
good for you … i dont dig you that much – but this is a really good video … well done
to the gallows for whomever edited in the UK flag instead of the England flag!
We as liberals need to stop fighting among ourselves. We need to stand up for our fellow liberals. Hikaru is a liberal and that is all that matters. Plus point for him being an immigrant POC.
Hikaru was pure savage sorry for all the Guy who got insult by him
i think he meant you wont be winning anything related to chess with a high value which is true since you're not a gm yet
A very classy response to a frankly dick comment from Hikaru.
I love everyone impression farming off each other it’s great 🔥
Can someone explain to me why the fuck chess competitions are split by gender?!
Hikaru is Uncompeteable
Hikaru has not done himself any favours
I mean, he's not wrong
Hello Alex, may I call you Alex, I see others calling you Alex, I believe your name is Alexandra.
Just be thankful you don't the problem of a square peg into a round hole. You can choose your friends… but I think it follows you can't choose your co-workers, parents, or enemies. So if you are after views say so, also your bra tan line is showing, not that I mind, I point it out as no one is perfect, even me and I am THE closest thing to perfection on the planet. You have a great body if that helps alleviate any insecurities by me mentioning a tan-line.
I am Matthew, He, Him, as in HE, HIM.

Well Bring me bike 10mins of my life PLS
GREAT sense of HUMOR !!!… watch it till last seconds.
Who cares if Alex, Andrea or Levy will ever win any major competitions??? They entertain and get people interested in chess. I was an avid player in my teens, on my high school chess team…but as an adult I sometimes drift away from the game because…well, life happens. But over the years something in pop culture, be it a movie like Searching for Bobby Fischer or Queen of Katwe, a television show like Queen's Gambit or streamers like the Botez Sisters…will come along and I will be reinvigorated to keep my love affair with the game. I look at the Botez Sisters like I look at TwoSet Violin. Eddie and Brett are trained classical violinists, like the Botez Sister are trained chess players, but Eddie and Brett will never be the violinists that people like Hillary Hahn , Sarah Chang or Itzhak Perlman are. But who cares? They are spreading the love of classical music with humor and fun, inspiring people to further explore the joy of classical music. That's what Andrea and Alex do for chess. To me, that is much more valuable than winning a tournament.
Not only is there a time gap between her and the greatest chess players when she plays them, but now she has introduced a time gap between her speaking voice and the video as well…
i found g5 yay 😄, also that endgame was very similar to a game i played yesterday where i did use the rook as decoy to promote a pawn
is the audio out of sync for anybody else as well or just my computer?
😱 Hikaru 😭💔 💃 😭 💃🤣 greetings from argentina 😂
😂stockfish is laughing at the corner😅
Liquor. Is it a commodity? Yes, or no? Your test begins, now. You have 1 month to complete it. Impress.
Nice explanation. But I must have some flaw in my thinking: Why does she not play Q h8 at 6:31? Would that not have meant check mate?
Thats a nice roast. Its so nice even hikaru would only mildly not care
I'm confused, what's stopping Qg8# or Qh8# when the queen trade was offered?
Nice top
hikaru was just saying the truth. hate ppl think you have to sugarcoat things
truth hurts
he's a sore loser
Wake up to reality botez sisters
So what. Tran up as a man, go to seaton house in Toronto, as a resident …….. and we’ll check you out alright. And you better not reveal you’re a woman to anyone, even at other locations, or you fail. That’s my spot. And I goddamn mean the main building, too. Not the little informant building that’s connected to it.
Wake up to reality botez sisters
Levy and Botezlive are just more entertaining and he's bitter😂
Nice try !
One would think that a brilliant chess player like Hikaru would know that remarks like that are EXACTLY the reason why he didn't win!
Okay, here's an alternative view.
IN MY OPINION, the worst is not what he said, but his choice of words.
It speaks volumes about his view on the situation.
Chess "professional players" have to have some mental imbalance, honestly.
Thank you for explaining the game at the perfect level, other streamers don't explain enough or they go way to fast way to deep and all i can focus on is the 20 lines the drew on the board. Love your content.
i love the fact that hikaru said they will never gonna win anything and botez shows us how she "won" a 2:2 xD yeah thats the definition of winning..
You are nothing compared to hikaru he can beat u 100 times out of 100
Wow, that definitely affected you a little too much 😅 Hikaru did deserve the win, but Twitch viewers choose, so of course the best entertainment wins. The best balance between expertise and entertainment (Hikaru) has no change in theYwitch community, where a lot (maybe most) vote for streamers they don't watch 😛

(BTW thanks for this beautiful video)
What am I missing? Why didn't Alex play queen h8 at 6:33?
“England”.
Shows the flag of Great Britain.
Naka is technically right and real chess players know it. But of course, there's a "new guard" of supporters who will turn this into a gender/sex issue and start behaving like activists. Nakamura is a world-class player who competes at the highest level. If the Botez sisters weren't young, pretty, marketable and female, you wouldn't know their names. Being a girl in the chess world is a HUGE advantage. You don't have to be that good for the red carpet to roll out………and don't get me started on the titles. WCM?? Great, 1700 players have titles…..
