Can 5 Chess Players Beat A Master? 

Alex: I'm not sure about the thumbnail now Andrea: stonks

Let's be honest we all clicked this video because of the thumbnail

Imagine 5 guys being Hikaru ,Garry kasparov,Mikhal Tal ,Bobby Fischer and Me😎 Combo of everything -Speed -strategy -Ultimate sacrifice -Positional play -Blunders/Mistakes/inaccuracy

the amount of motion you & your sister brought to the scene is unmatched!! forever rooting for y’all

From not being happy at the Andrea reveal, they sure jumped quick to follow her advice 😂

AYO? that thumbnail 😳

this is so impressive to me. Alex has such a calm and calculated disposition. Like a tiger swatting chickens

2:25 They all immediately got nervous when they met her. 😂

That's the kind of 5-on-1 action that I'm coming to this channel for! 😄

I've always wondered when Alex would eventually participate in a Chess Bang.

you can stalemate a bit better by taking the bishop to the f4 square, which allows the pawn to promote and then you can box her into the bottom right square cause the bishop is dark squares. unfortunate is was an h file pawn that survived, but whatever. if it was a g file you could've pulled through with a checkmate ending if you played carefully.

5 Players is not an advantage but a Disadvantage, since we have 5 people with different ways to go about each move.

I think Andrea should only stay for a few moves, like just a consult on a position. I feel like it ended up just being Alex vs Andrea.

I don’t think they should’ve let Andrea assist for so long. Because it became Andrea vs Alex

"Now this is a ChessBang"

I rather enjoyed Andrea cooperatively domineering the team. It was quite a excellent example of diplomacy Gg to all for playing Godspeed

"You guys were very close, but then Andrea came and weighed you down." - spoken like a true sister.

Lmao they actually went with the thumbnail

11:00 What a trick was that 🤯

Let’s be honest we all know the 5v1 reference here and to take it up a notch. So does Alex 😂

2:13 The smartest man there. Alexandra is much higher rated and a professional seasoned player. Plus, five people who have not formed a real team can get in each other's way.

The thumbnail speaks for itself

Wonderful cinematography and storyline! Hope to see more well-thought content soon.

Thought she was playing 5 boards. 5 on 1 board is a disadvantage for the 5 players.

The 1482 guy is underrated finding out that position is a draw that quickly is 1600+ if not even 1650+ 😂😂

Andrea should be limited to helping for 5 moves. Fun stuff!

I loved this deal which took place in a good mood. it's a pleasure to find your chess games live 👏👏👏 nice family spirit 😍😍😍

@5:14 look at the guy behind andrea. Where are his eyes going? Lmaaooo

Of course Andrea was the expert. What did we expect

The story behind the thumbnail: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4PTGD5LB7A4.html Also I hope you all like the video, I know it’s different than our usual stuff but I wanted to explore creatively :)

Why Didn’t She Trade The Pawns On F4 And G3? Pawn Takes Knight Recaptures Bishop Takes, Queen Recaptures And Queen Takes

him: moves pawn to d5 everyone: alright alright good job

She knew what she was doing with the thumbnail

Not convinced that 5 guys are that much better than the highest rated among them. I guess they'll catch the odd calculation error but going away from the board half the time seems unhelpful.

When you call for a professional chess player and Andrea walks over.

The thumbnail for this video makes it look like a Brazzers production

Let's be real here. If most of them had 1400-1500 and one had 1900, this was essentially a match between a 1900 and Botez. The depth of knowledge that the 1400-1500 have, would not be enough to make useful contributions in critical moments. The game-changer was Andrea's introduction to the mix - another high-rated player providing depth into the game.

It's nice to see a friendly game without all the violence typically associated with chess.

The word chess is saving this video

Andrea “that thumbnail is great marketing” Botez 😂, but great video Alex 🙏🏼

You girls are making a great effort to innovate in this game, and it's been worth it. It's always nice to watch you. Keep the good work!

The interview and introduction before action but it’s chess😂😈

the thumbnail gpt my mind rolling💀💀

5:09 Cant blame him

Alex's kryptonite is definitely Andrea; namely her talking. She's powerless against it.

this wasnt fair cuz they got to take their headphones off half way but andrea stayed the entire time

The black shirts had me dead. Yall know what yall doing.

I can't believe she actually used the thumbnail after being told it's sus lmfaoo Alex is the goat for that

Had so much fun making this! Thank you to the entire team & all the players! Rematch? 🤔

Not even 2 minutes into the video and Kai is already the best character no questions asked

Alexandra's mistake was at 7:55, she should've taken the bishop with her queen, this takes out the bishop and threatens the queen while putting it in a pre-check position, even if the other team chose to do a queen exchange, she would've still had the material advantage having a rook alongside the other pawns.

Really really enjoyed the video. Would love to see a video of Alex vs similar rated 5 players who play in rotation as in person 1 plays 1st move then person 2 plays second move and so on. That was just a suggestion tho. Thanks for the amazing content.

30 minutes is kind of quick for a game where five players are collaborating

alex couldve mated, gotten a queen, or gotten a bishop if she had just moved queen to f7 at 11:49

the thumbnail still gets me every time😂😭😭

I think you guys have really been stepping up your RU-vid, and eventually its really gonna pay off in a big way. Keep it up

This was so good!!! I normally skip through 20 min videos but this one had me thoroughly entertained throughout the entire thing. Also Andrea was so nice, not letting her sister gaslight the boys into thinking they were destroyed lol

1:30 what teeasing 🙂❤

The fact that there are 5 of them makes it worse

This resembles a meme I know very well.

Great thumbnail, great competitors (all individually solid rankings themselves!), and great execution all around

they got us in the first half

10:30 its already a mate if they moved the queen to H2

I know this was made for fun, but if you decide to follow up on it, you can make it more interesting / challenging with a few tweaks: 1) The "expert" should be on for a limited amount of moves, let's say around 5. Also the expert should preferably be higher rated than Alex (Levy, Eric Rosen). This would make the "lifeline" feel more impactful. Otherwise, if there's no limited time, you have 2 undesirable consequences: a) The "lifeline" is not a lifeline, because it would be called in from move 1. b) Since you play all the game with the lifeline, the other players will not matter anymore, it will turn into Lifeline vs Alex. I know this would have the downside of not having Andrea in the video (which would be a shame), so maybe you could just add her to Alex's team. Make it a 2 vs 7 ?! 2) The opponents should all be of similar rating (less than 100 rating difference between lowest and highest). In this video the 1900 guy should really have taken initiative and call the shots since he is so much better than the other 4, according to the rating. As an alternative to the point above, you could still have a wide range of ratings among the opponents, but then they should each take turns in moving. They can still consult each other to decide the move, but if there's disagreement the decision is ultimately with the guy who's turn it is to move - thus giving some semblance of agency and involvement to each player, not just the 1900 guy. Salutari, fetelor ! 🙂 PS: I barely even know the rules of chess, but I still watch you guys because you're entertaining :)

Andrea was literally being the devil's advocate with the "advice" lol

At 12:55 why didn't they just put pawn c2? The king would be in check, and if the king moved d2 the next turn they would have still gotten a queen that was defended by the bishop. Why no one thought of that?

Intro looked like something you'd be watching with headphones late at night in your room.

His was very entertaining thanks! Great content! And also loved the chill atmosphere and vibe you guys put into this! Loved this a lot thanks! Keep making content like these, I’d really appreciate it!!!

Honestly, props to the 1480 for seeing that that was a drawn endgame as quickly as he did.

at 6:02 Bishob h2 would have been amazing and winning completely.

This feels like if there was a Chess Reality show on MTV.

Being new to Chess, i find some instructional videos to be boring. I'm glad you guys post fun content which you can learn from as well. Also that's an awesome Botez chessboard I want one!

This is really dope content. Poor Andrea with her already raspy (but cute) voice lol. Loved this video. You should definitely do these more and increase the opponent players each time that would be sick. Awesome video

No one said what Alex would do if Alex lost - I guess that's not even a hypothetical scenario lol

Andrea's strut is amazing

This was well produced good job it looks very professional

What a great video, really enjoyable to watch. Well done.

My man with the glasses giving off main character with hidden superpower vibes 🤣

Alex knew exactly that she was aiming for the draw! But when kaiski said it at 14:14- Look at her expression- more like you caught me red handed

The corndog was right: the thumbnail was great marketing

This is such a good video concept. I'm loving it.

So funny when Andrea walked in as their chess expert and they all go "NOOOOO".

10:57 was literally mate: bishop to e5 then queen to h2

That was so much fun; I hope you do more of this type of video. Absolutely love your challenges.

This is like a proper production. For a channel with

I somehow knew Andrea Botez would be the lifeline

My experience playing chess on the street in Bangkok, shows a master can play as many people as want to get on the other side, however, I was only able to hold them to a stalemate every time.

If there was a Japanese version of this, I know how it would end.

The true winner was Alex for surviving Andrea

Plus it was super easy to know Alexandra's opening because the first move was the knight's

Alternative title 5 normal chess player vs a monster

This video was really fun. You guys make the best chess content :D

I thought Gotham Chess is the only who can comeup with great thumbnail Ideas

Kings Indian defense is one of my favorite defenses!

Probably the most unhinged thumbnail I’ve seen in a while

ReMatch them all, but they each have to play their own game and you play all five at the same time. You get 30 min between all 5 boards, they only have the time inbetween your moves. Same money stakes, but if they lose, they have to do some chores, run erands for you and your sister.

This thumbnail is legendary. Botez sisters are so good for this game

Just wondering, @6:03 if Alex had moved her white bishop to h6 instead of moving her knight, wouldn't that have been Mate in 1 more move? (with the Queen barrage) cause pawn can't take bishop, it would be putting the king in check, but queen can take pawn the next turn and checkmate the king right??

I'm starting to believe that this isn't the full video.

This was really cool. I hope this is a series. For the expert, why wouldn't you call it immediately, since she helped for the rest of the match?
