2500 FM Plays Undercover vs WFM Alexandra Botez! FM Dan The Clutch Man vs WFM Alexandra Botez 

Really great match to watch for us lesser players, an FM showing us how it's done!

*Loses on time* "Alright, I'll take the draw [that wasn't offered]."

Dan played very well. Would love to see more games from him.

Botez gambit at the end.

"I just want my sac to mean something ". I've said that more times to myself than I can count. 😅

great camera angle

For information, Dan’s Fide rating is 2365 and NOT 2500.

Dan was playing everybody. Good work Dan

Great game by Dan. He was always in control.

He's wearing the RF cap !! Roger Federer and plays chess of course im interested to watch !

There was a set up on 7:47. Black could have played r to d7. White can't take rook because then black can take the knight and get mate and you can't take with the queen either. You jeopardize your queen though if white goes kt to b1 but you get 2 rooks for a queen.

"He used to be an AM, too." -- the Great Carlini

5.24 black horse fork between queen and rook

Alexandra is not an easy opponent to beat. That is some aggressive chess!

"I am experimenting". You are getting a good, solid, unpredictable understanding of the game IMO. You are the kind of rare person who wants to not only know the history of play, but develop/invent your own game. When you bring your own game to a big tournament, even the best do not know what to do, (they learn quick though, so don't flaunt it, and you won't have to start over as often.). Big pressure, not knowing what to do. That tests the cracking point of any human being IMO. The fact that you have more experience with "the experiment" does tip the probably of success in your favor IMO. You are doing what we are suppose to do,--"Think". I dig that. :)

This is one of the cleanest coffee chess games that I’ve seen

I can hear the feisty kid and turn the camera to watch his game

5:26 I don't see why he didn't fork her queen and rook with the knight, seems to be possible and there's no checks, which means the best she can come out of it is losing a rook for a knight.

My thanks to the camera man. He did a great job showing off the pieces.

I don't understand the disclaimer (of rules) near the beginning of the vid. "Playing clock move, (---), & OK to take the King to win the game." How else do you win? Taking the King is the object of the game that decides the winner. Are you guys feeling OK?

5:23 why not fork here with the black night to c3?

The trick he thinks at 7:30 probably is Rxd4 Qxd4 Qxf4 Kg1 Ne2 Rxe2 Rxe2 Qxa7 But it won't work because white gets a pass pawn. The trick that worked is Ne2.

love it in the Film's one move a day/next time u meet '.kk play some one one move each a day and speed it up for us ..xxx

At 5:25 Black missed Knight to C3 winning the exchange

Great Game ✌🏻🙏🏻

Anybody else see the fork on c3 at 5:25?

5:30 black missed a knight fork ?

nice hat! RF is the man

At 7:37 he should have played Ne2 to block the Queen’s defence of the Knight on f3.

Of course, if Alex would have known about his strength, she would have played a little more cautiously, concerning her given pawn.

Why did Dan trade his Bishop on A3 around 4:20?

That's a fine looking chess player

You probably won't see this, but I'm curious Alexandria, if you were having a custom chess set made for you what features would you want it to have? Board and pieces.

Did he miss a pin at 5:27?

love this!!! just subbed too :))

does Dan have a channel? I like his play

Did anyone notice at the end they set the pieces on wrong sides

He had some good tricks! 🎃

Why didn't she take the queen after 8:48?

The game they are playing is, “I am going to PRETEND that I do not recognize that you are a master, so the video will be more intriguing. It is a charade.

@5:29 why didn't Black fork queen and rook with knight?

I wondered why the beauty non stop self talking while chessing even the guy did not answer much. It's annoying for someone needed thinking 😂

I play tennis Ok lets play some Chess ! ATTACK ! DAN THE MAN SLAYS DOWN THE BABA ROGA !

He should recognise alexandra botez wgm

You're still the best Alex...love your videos!!!

She doesn't recognize the Roger Federer logo on his cap.

4:31 What they were talking about "Oh, he saw it.."?

e4 was pretty cool! g4 and g5!! I just want her experimentational creativity to pay off too. lol

@ 6:52 Kd5! go!

bro was an IM then took and arrow to the knee

I got distracted...

She almost played a Botez gambit!

somebody can explain me why dont took the queen in the minute 8:48

Ive never played much chess in my life, but is that move at 2:55 allowed?

I still don't understand the appeal of chess players hiding their skill level/ranking just so they can "surprise" their opponent with how good they are. If they did it to be humble, that's different.

what did he saw ?? when he moved his queen can someone answer

Hey! That was a satisfying game... I saw the fork 😆

Why did she say he still can't castle? Why not?

5 mins 24 secs black misses knight fork on queen and rook.

Curious, will these guys play you if you just roll up and want to play? Or do you have to be a rated player?

Yeah you gotta be upfront with your rating- otherwise you're just hustling. I'm 90% certain Alex would have defeated this guy without to much trouble is she had known his rating.

He missed Bc3 after Rb1. Fork.

sorry if this is a dumb question, im not the greatest player, but at 5:23 didnt he have a fork with knight to c3?

at 8 minutes 48 why did she not take queen

I so like comments of Great Carlini 😅

With what she’s wearing it’s tough for me to pay attention to the board.

7:37... ..... R-K2? Could that have worked?

Carlini knows Run DMC!

that was amazing, not Clutch made so many improving moves. Why didn't Alex take the Queen? Also Carlini zingers were on point, I belly laughed.

I’m new to chess, can someone explain why he couldn’t castle?

Please can someone tell me why he didn't castle at 3:25.

2500 should be IM already ?

What a smartass she is!!!

If he's so good how did he miss the obvious Nc3 forking her Q and R after she went Rb1?

7:47...Ne2 would have been winning

Am i missing something at 6:10? Slide the black Queen to h3.

I like how these humble players… there’s killers out here in these chess streets.

What did he see at 4:28

NO WAY TWO FAN MASTERS

Alex Botez giving away a free pawn cemented her fate if she'd have known he was an FM she would have used some of her Famous Tricks i'm sure and may have got a draw

When did he offer the draw?

Gray shirt has the best views

She saw the movie 'back to the kitchen' again :D

though Bot ez to lose to , this channel brings back the "casual vibes" (chedss is not war

Why didn't she take the queen

Im confused

Played Rc2 a little late I think

Does ne3 do something

Kb5! ughh before the rook was at c5

What is a FM?

Always a pleasure to watch IQ superiors duke it out and in good faith! Keep on keeping on my friends.

Românca noastră frumoasă și deșteaptă!

Whats the real name of dan the clutch name

I saw a chance but failing 😅

Alex talks like the man

Alex trying to trash talk is extremly cringe

Champion 👏

Strong FM

They mesh well they should date

Kai, look at the board!!!
