A little girl challenges a grandmaster at a chess bar in Paris 

WGM

True

@@roninnib6635 Anna is an International Master

I'm impressed. But being with so many noisy people around, can be a training for the little girl.

Those distractions sounded very purposeful. The kid is a threat.

When u play kids u gotta use dirty tatics my cousin says... kick them in the ankle from under the table, point somewhere and move pieces while they're not looking... hahah

@@gigioleao ... have your friends distract them by chattering at them.

Which one?

someone explain to me why at 3:44 someone who is NOT playing picks up a piece on the board and moves it??? these 3 are gross...

@@williamadama4213 gross, really? You should probably get out more or find a friend or something. That’s a bit of an overreaction at the very least.

It was unprofessional, but it wasn't gross. cmon

btw it's Alyssia Santerimo (probably spelled kinda wrong, lol).

@@elephantheart9988 Alessia Santeramo, she's Italian

Beware of hungry 8-year-olds! They'll eat you alive.

We write Inès in France

this 'kevin' crossover had me smiling so hard

@@williamadama4213 They are not "gross". Come on... move on already

She didn’t speak the language they were speaking

They're so obnoxious here for real...

The girl on the right was super annoying and she was bothering that kid all the time. Alexandra was alright but again she was not even commentating just sitting there and having fun.

Why didn't they just shut up?

They never shut up.

😂😂

YEAH RIGHT I NOTICED IT TOO! That girl in red treats the kid with no respect just because she is a kid and does not understand English.

Agreed they need to be quiet and let people concentrate.

True

You have no idea who those "two girls" are do you? Everyone is there because of them and the GM. Even the little girl is most definitely aware of who they are.

@@iamjamesmix That is not the point because of who they are. The disrespect to the kid girl is what she was pointing out.

Cringe

Especially ignoring the distractive behavior of the girl in red. Was she a bit tipsy? The girl in red, not the little girl...

I liked your comment. Ignore the detractor :)

Never forget: ones gender is the most important! The game is just ancillary.

Stupid behavior, she was only seven years old

Exactly what I thought. Those two women and the grandmaster were damn rude.

@@Moon-nf5fr Anna was fine, I think (she's the GM - actually, IM). Alex (the girl on the left) distracted her with showing her the phone, but she and her sister usually don't take things too seriously in their videos. She should have shown much more respect, I agree. But the other girl sitting there was very annoying.

Exactly! Do the women watching the match know that you can survive without talking every second? Geez, that constant yakking is irritating. I had to mute the volume so I could enjoy watching the match.

So true.

She's just shy

I agree, the one women was mostly just being annoying anyway. I remember being eight, and I definitely didn't enjoy being infantalized like that.

I thought the same thing, that’s not the time to clown around to distract similar to doing it to a golfer lol . The kids are shy because I guess they’re trying to concentrate but she took it like a champ. Bravo & well done - she’ll thank them later for the mental toughness! 😄👏

I didn't even think about it like that until you mentioned it and now that I rewatch it, yeah you're absolultely right. When you have only three minutes against an International Master, you really can't afford 30 seconds wasted by someone yelling at you. I suppose her intentions were supposed to be encouraging but I'm betting it almost certain distracted the poor kid at least 1/6th of her total time.

Agreed, not to mention, who touches a piece on the board when they aren't a player... So rude.

I think it was more of an attempt at ‘being down with the kids’, more than anything else. Different players have different stances. I think for the girl, she was probably wanting to take it more seriously than Anna and Alexandra. Where as Anna has already won the title of chess master.

@@williamadama4213 The lady did not move the piece. She picked it up in a joke way. Like "move your knight here!" When that's a bad idea. My friends and I do this to each other when in informal settings. I think this gathering wasn't that serious and more for fun.

@@candylover1433 he knows this me lady, they are trying to the chess snobs and elitists that always snark when females are playing or something unconventional happens. It's not like it's a tournament or championship game, we know this, but they will always find something to bitch about

@@williamadama4213 Dude, legit, what's your damn damage? This is clearly an informal setting, they are having fun, Anna was clearly not playing down to her but actually respecting the kid's playing skills, they are entertainers broadcasting on air, and are having fun joking around with friends. As if all that wasn't enough, chess is literally a GAME (it's a literal board game ffs). A great boxing writer once said that all sports are the manifestation of humanity laughing in the face of god because we imbue games that have no real point or impact in terms of life or death stakes/situations or our survival with those concepts to where we elevate them to that status (thus playing god in our own way and telling god to basically piss off). Perhaps you should take a step back and really look at yourself to analyse why tf you get so butthurt and irate at something so goddamn inherently meaningless and pointless as a board game that you got to watch being played for free.

@@arifal-yousif Don't waste so much energy, he spams this under ever comment just to get attention.

They are afraid to lose.

Bro, im pretty sure all grownups do that :/

@@nelakacperski3185 Not the grownups flanking the table. I love Alex, but this was not her greatest moment (and even worse the girl next to her). The kid lost on time, and at least one moment of that was being distracted by the girl making a funny face at her.

It's not a tournament lmao also I think Alex and Anna were fine 3rd one was cringe

Exactly. I couldn't call that ending either way.

with black bishop blockading the pawn and opposite colored bishops its seems to objectively be a draw. White is playing for a win while black is playing for a draw

@@lukebomber great analysis

@@lukebomber Anna was nice to take f6 at the end leading the game towards a draw, she could have played Nc5 instead with Ba5 coming next, then I don't see how black can stop the passed pawn without sacking a piece on it

It would been nice to see them play it out to the end. Never mind the clock an play it out. Oh well.

wait why does it have GM in the title???

@@yakzivz1104 Because Anna Rudolf is both a International Master and a Women's GrandMaster. IM is a higher title, but it doesn't sound as good as WGM.

@@LateCloser Oh okay thank you so much for clearing that up. LOL

Yeah, I don't think we'd call her a beginner.

I’ve noticed it’s a common trend that chess streamers are afraid of kids. Why is that? do kids always play better?

@@shinichigojir12 Yep, some kids are chess prodigies and play very well. Almost all grandmasters start at a very young age

@@weiyee3252 but do they need to be extra afraid? I mean playing against adult GMs should also make them afraid.

@@shinichigojir12 I think that any kid willing to go up against a chess pro in the first place will be really confident, so maybe not that much? EDIT: Wait I think I read your question wrong, for the chess streamers I think it's also a bit of not wanting to lose to a kid in front of the online audience, since it *is* different than losing to another adult player

@@aceisawesome_ got it. Yes i’ve seen it everywhere. Chessbrah too “omg its a kid, im gonna get destroyed”. Like whenever they get a kid, they immediately feel they’re gonna lose. I wonder if it’s a sentiment shared across all chess community.

Exactly lmao, just talk to her like anyone else and she'll apreciate it more

indeed

Probably less annoyed than all the butthurt people in the comments, though.

it's a chess BAR

@@duconmicro4331 thank you

@@mxtrem3 You don't make clown sounds watching a kid that don't understand you dead in the eyes in a chess bar even. You don't touch the pieces of a board where you're not playing either.

Did old girl lose

@@The_Mind_Journey He meant her facial expression.

I you single...am 100% single😊😊

There are already a handful of GMs that recently got their titles at the age of 12. This might end up a young person's game.

@@orlock20 Kids have the most flexible brains, so they are in the best position to learn really quickly and become chess masters fast if they put in the work.

That you're saying is true, but also i think Anna was just chilling there and joking around, but obviously she played very well, and also she is 8 years old, that's impressive.

@@williamadama4213 Imagine going to every single thread of a youtube video to spam the same comment insulting 3 grown women with an anonymous account. Loser.

THANK YOU. She was so rude and annoying if I was the girl I would of told her to shut up from the get go

Both of the women watching the game were very rude. This is just like that match with that young kid against Karpov. It’s just so infuriating the amount of disrespect for children trying to play chess seriously. Probably the only reason why the girl smiled a little was because of how juvenile the older women was acting when making that funny face at her.

People don't seem to realize this video is just a sniped from a 5.30 hour live stream. You don't get the full context. They are there to entertain the viewers while others are playing. Its the format of the program. The girl got to play many matches that evening and did great!

There is HUGE difference between tournament chess which are played in respectful silence, and café chess which is played loudly and with bystander kibitz. Please don't confuse the two.

@@hq3473 cafe or not, there should be some respect to players. The little girl didn’t bring a bunch of toddlers to scream and cry at Anna’s face and asking why the sky is blue in broken Romanian. This is unacceptable and could have a negative impact on girl’s spirit

Oh come on, it’s not always that serious. All were just having fun. And by distracting the GM, they might have actually given the young girl a slight advantage. At the end of the day, they were looking to make an entertaining stream, and sitting in silence while a GM crushes a bunch of children would not have likely achieved that.

I agree. It may very well have been a dream to challenge her and all that chatting and distraction is very belittling.

Lol it's a chess cafe. Maybe you should go there for once in a lifetime. When I was playing chess at the club as a kid, adult opponents blew cigar smoke in my face. Their friends would stand behind me and hit my chair with their feet, knocking stuff from the table etc etc. Yeah, once I was that good 😎

@@whalefall413 that's arrogance not pride.

@@Niander-Wallace I think you is right. Plus the one like older teen girl was very nice to watch.....😁

Yeah

Rama - So, can you tell me what happened in the end? I don't know if this was a draw or a win or a loss for the little girl? How do you tell?

Little girl lost on time in a position where she had excellent drawing chances because of the opposite colour bishops . The computer evaluation is close to 0.0 which you can see to the left side of the 2-D board which shows equal lengths of white and black . If white is winning or has a sizeable advantage , the white bar will be longer than the black . And vice versa .

@@ramachandra776 - Thank you Rama.

@@lifethroughromans8295 It’s actually a bit more complex than that. It’s a draw with perfect play but especially in time trouble, it’s not as easy as it seems for black to draw the position unless they are a very strong player. White’s position is much more favorable

@@JoeARedHawk275 - Oh! I see, thank you.

Yeah it was pretty annoying to watch, maybe it's just how I perceive it but it felt really disrespectful to the little girl.

Yeah, I bet she would beat her otherwise :)

@@Iamaxelhuerta I agree that the ongoing conversation between the adults was disrespectful to the little girl.

Yelling Alez le Bleu in her face just irritated me and I’m not even French, just put yourself in the girl’s shoes

@@Iamaxelhuerta 100% agree. I hope they never bring her along again. What a disrespectful and annoying hanger-on. She was trying so hard to be funny, or to be with the "it" crowd that she ended up looking like a complete a$$.

Exactly

The chess world has *had* female talent and if you don't already pay attention to it thats on you

@@Rain_theGamer I didn't say the chess world doesn't have female talent, I said that the chess world will look better as more women get the visibility that don't have right now thanks to things like this! I'm sorry if the message was misunderstood but there was no ill-intent, we're all on the same boat and we can agree that Inés is an extremely talented girl, and that this is not the last time we'll hear about her! :)

Chess will be dead in the next 10 years buddy. Games will be theories 100% Start to finish

@@whatislifebuttheenjoymento3405 no can prepare infinite theory.

In a normal match true, but this was filmed during a live stream on the botezlive twitch channel. They are entertaining the viewers while the others are playing... It looks strange if you don't know the setting but it's just the format.

@@Mayhski112 how can anyone be entertained by this babbling nonsense?

@@edwassermann8368 Well, if i remember correctly the live stream had a constant +20k viewers for 5 hours and has been watched over 725k times. So to answer your question, allot of people.. This is a 6 minute clip from a long evening of games, with 5 female chess streamers roulating in playing each other and random people, while the others talking to viewers in the background. The little girl Ines got to play many games aswell, as did both her sisters and they were great. Alessia might have taken it a bit to far with the taunting in this clip but overal this looks so much worse then it really was when you have seen the whole stream. By the end of the stream she was sitting in between the streamers on Alessia's lap having a good time. People are getting way to dramatic over this with to little context .

it’s usually rlly entertaining idk the girl in red was too drunk

Couldn’t agree more!

Yeah the girl in red was incredibly rude and cringe, I feel so sorry for the little girl for having to put up with that.

You think defeating IM is joke! The lady must've also gone lenient on the kid not to discourage her.

Lmao no 😂

Why so violent LMAO that's so uncalled for

It only means you did not play chess as a child lol

Don't insult that girl imagining an ass as yourself in her place.

thought this whole nonsensical babbling was super rude towards the kid. nobody needed their idiotic commentary imo.

This is not a chess club, this is a chess bar. People drink and banter all the time, and play casual fun games. Stop taking chess so seriously all the time.

Exactly I can't stand it

she's not a grand master. She's a woman grand master (WGM) and an international master. WGM is far weaker than GM, grand master.

@@XpVersusVista In fact ... It's not okay to lie in the title for clicks on the movie .... Thank you for the information. Post scritum - I'm not a great master.

@@tomaszduda6756 Ok put it in Anna Rudolf's shoes. Imagine you are someone in a position to be WGM and an IM. You are impressed with your young opponent's skill in a foreign country and you make a video on the platform we call RU-vid to show the world her talent. I think that anyone would make their opponent look better if they saw you were a GM instead of an IM. Since you are a GM for women and your opponent is also a young lady herself, it is very clear that WGM may not be needed. Would it matter if Pulgar and Magnus went at it again? I guess it would. Would it matter if Rudolf fought a young chess prodigy? I would beg to differ on that one.

@@gamelandmaster3680 I think honesty in sports is important. Coloring facts - for what purpose .... To mislead the recipient to get more displays .... Think how the lack of honesty and integrity affects chess in the world ..... She did not add anything to the rival with subtitles ... showed appreciation for the quality of the young girl's game - that's cool, but I don't want to be fooled about with the titles of recordings, texts in newspapers. Such a thing can be done by tabloids suitable for waste paper.

@@gamelandmaster3680 Post-truth generation

Yeah but in this case I feel like it is disrespectful partly because of the age of the player and the language barrier. I think that the boat should have been able to concentrate at the game because they couldn't exactly make small talk and it was distracting to have the adult conversation continue.

I'm still confused about the title of the video because there were no GMs in it. A WGM/IM and some WFMs.

100%

totally agree

This was taken as a sniped from a 5.30 hour live stream so you don't get the full context. They are there to entertain viewers while others are playing, just friendly banter at a bar nothing disrespectful. but respect to the little girl, she was the mvp of the evening.

Also, she's Alessia Santaramo, WFM I think, around 2200 ELO.

@@Mayhski112 It is disrespectful what she did at 1:22 is awful mocking the little girl about her language and disturbing her while she can't understand anything.

She is not shy she just don't understand a word of what they speaking and she's trying to focus on the game

someone explain to me why at 3:44 someone who is NOT playing picks up a piece on the board and moves it??? these 3 are gross...

Hiii...how are you

Kinda reminds me of Beth Harmon

She's french that's why ))

Most of the audience seemed engaged and respectful; it was the hosts who seemed the most distracting.

Hiii...I you single

Eh, it's a chess bar. If she's focusing 100%, Anna destroys her.
