    I think that one yt short on the same topics comment section made her make this video lol😂

    Good luck on Hustler Live next week!🍀♠️♥️♣️♦️

    hikaru is also better than you and also has better takes than you " THATS JUST THE REALITY "

    yaşasın ırkımız çine bedel 40 mız as bayrakları as asas asasasas asasasa s

    Man cried because magnus humbled him, nuff said

    So all chess streamer now copping levy after he won the chess streamer award.. cool

    You have a great voice and way of talking for making videos like this. Plus, the fun personality makes it even better.

    2:09 how she gotta use her main competitor's (at least for chess youtube) memes tho

    Russian From an English Point of View says:

    Hikaru exaggerates.

    As far as not winning anything significant like country champ of all women and men or a super GM tournament or even becoming a regular not female GM Hikaru is probably right

    Dude Alex should understand…. Hikaru is a GM … He has the emotional baggage you don't have…. It's okay for him to say that

    The audio gets out of sink with your talking, maybe give another edit 🙂

    Let him be, he is just so arrogant… You are 1000000 times a better streamer then he is! 😀 You cheer my games UP he cannot do that… LOoove <3

    Well, TBH. Many people on top of their games and a champions on sport is a bit of a "jerk", i guess the personality of can't take loss goes hand in hand with their nature of being very competitive and strive for the best.
    Although, dissing it over chess streamer awards is a bit lame…

    It doesn’t matter if they can’t win anything. Hikaru should be forever grateful that they popularized chess in a way that could make all of them have a living off it. He wouldn’t be where he is without them and that’s a fact

    Bold strategy by hikaru to loose the hearts of the people while simultaneously allowing botez and levy to win the hearts of the people. 7D chess

    You didn’t need to make this video to prove anything.

    He's not phrasing himself well and he's obviously a little salty but he's also not totally wrong? You guys and Levy got more skill points in charisma and he got more in chess ability, I think that was his only real point

    How come no one realise that both of them were joking

    Am I trippin??

    rude. be proud, you earned what you got

    6:31 As i am just 1200 elo but is that not checkmate in one???

    Dude this was a waste of 11 minutes. The whole video was her explaining her stupid game which had no relation to the fkin title

    Love this response Alex! Thanks for representing Canada ❤

    While i do like Hikaru's content, i wouldnt vote for him, because he can be very arrogant, which i do not like. But Agadmator, Botezlive and Anna Cramling are much more friendly, while also being entertaining, and Levy being the top dog when it comes to entertainment.

    Yes, Hikaru is quirky, but he is also a genius. I don’t see how these are incompatible.

    Hikaru is who he is because down not-so-deep in his heart, he is a fucking savage. So is Magnus. So was Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov etc. Almost any true elite in any sport has a personality 'defect' if that's how you want to look at it. Ask a boxer what he's going to do if he loses his next fight, and you might find yourself on the floor wondering what happened if there aren't any cameras around. They consider it an insult to even insinuate they might lose. If he wasn't like that he wouldn't be where he is and nobody would care about anything he has to say.

    just so you know, the 2-1 score flags you used was the UK flag which isn't really the same as England but whatever ig

    Hikaru is right. you're not a good chess player

    I don’t see the motivation of this video though. Hikaru said they won’t win anything in the future. Botez is just showing a game way in the past. It is not even a win, just a draw against a weak country.

    I almost didn't want to believe Hikaru said that when I first read it. It came across as very butthurt. Ok, you didn't get nominated, but why bring down others in the process if you are so great? I felt mad on behalf of the other nominees lol. We don't need that toxicity at the highest levels because that will just spread down the tree. The class with which you sisters handled this with doesn't go unnoticed. No telling if Nakamura is socially inept, has a grudge or woke up that way. But ultimately who cares, because chess is bigger than him and his opinions.

    Hikaru plays real life like he plays chess

    He’s just mad because you’re competition

    I knew this wasn’t a joke, I lost so so much respect for Hikaru after this

    At 10:06 after …Rb8 why not Kc7?
    And if you want my feedback as one viewer: I don't like you as much as some other chess YouTubers because it just happens too often that I feel like I'm thinking better than you. With Hikaru, I almost never feel that way. If I'm watching a chess YouTube, I want to feel like they are way better than I am. However, I thought this particular video by you was unusually good, and you can be effectively as strong as (heck, stronger than) Hikaru if you use computers to help you produce the video, so there is a way for you to satisfy viewers like me – if you choose to. But I often feel like you aren't very serious about chess and acting more like a party girl. Which is fine, but not if you want to attract me as a chess-video-viewer.

    Bro, why does everyone have problem with each other🤔

    I honestly suspect Hikaru is quite autistic. He keeps repeating himself at times and even say things that aren't even needed to be said.

    I swear you guys always have a problem with each other😂

    I sac my Rook to a knight and a pawn (her poor pawn😢)
