I Was Forced To Play MY SISTER in a Chess Tournament 

Alex said "bet" at the end

Let me guess, Botez won

"I really want to surprise her" "I need to outsmart her" Plays the London...

The Hammer vs Dina match was equally brutal as the one on the board.

Fun Fact : Alexandra went undefeated in the tournament with 8.5/9 points 12:32

The commentary is just ruthless roasting and I love it

Hammer and Dina both have very clear favourites😂

the "ugly wall" thing was one of my personal highlights of the tourney. the way dina tried to wiggle her way out of what she just said was quite funny aswell.

I love Dina and Hanmer’s chemistry as hosts.

The funny thing is, if Andrea had won and all of the other results had remained the same, Alex would still have won the tournament but Andrea would be tied for 2nd.

The arrows coming out of the queen 😂

Andrea will NEVER be better until she strays from that London system. It simply is too difficult to get an opening advantage against higher rated players consistently.

Damn that ugliest wall line will always make me hysterically laugh, it brings me to tears every time 😂

This was the most fun tournament I've seen in a while. Also, Hammer is a great commentator, I don't think people appreciate that enough, and even Dina, stumbling her way through English was great. Congrats to Alex for the huge tournament performance "Copium" is a great word indeed

And Alex took a bite out of Andrea and won the match.

This was a brilliant match when I watched it live. Love the hand shake at the start of the match. Was rooting for Andrea. She is getting better every game she plays. Loved the commentary.

the whole ferrari metaphor was crazy

I was there, Dina expected it. She said it live.

Bro if Andrea had won Alex would have literally killed her fr 😂

0:33 Andrea, just because Alexandra beats you at chess does not mean she is the "better sibling". I mean, she is, but it's not because of the chess.

8:22 Ferrari vs Ugliest Wall. U welcome

I love hearing what Alex says at the end. She's happy to win, but not that her sister loses. LOVE. ❤

12:32 "Maximum 8 out of 9" Yeah about that, Dina...

Hammer's face at 6:18 is priceless 🤣🤣🤣

Honestly, it was a great game and an entertaining one with hammer and dina commenting on it and am very happy I got to experience it

I love how Dina is supporting her wife, Andrea.

The ugly wall is solid, it won't fall.

That was honestly a great match, props to you Andrea and Alexandra

I'm pretty sure that Hammer won the commentator trash talk game.

It is refreshing to see two unbiased commentators. Hammer & Dina were the dynamic duo during the tournament and chicken salad conversation 🧀 🔨

06:16 "ANDREEAAAA !!! ... " 😂😂😂

We know Alex's weakness is kids, but at least there's one kid she can still beat.

Old news to me Alex. I already watched Levy break it down so I could get the learning points. Congrats on your win and am rooting for Andrea in future sibling battles

I was waiting for the "I kneww your little gremlin hands couldn't resist that sacrifice" from the Live stream 😂

Andrea held her own, she wasn't THIS good last time I saw them play. Alex is honestly my inspo, she's so good at this game. Love the commentary! So entertaining😂

The odd couple factor of Dina and Hammer commentating is honestly gold. Made the video a lot of fun to watch xD

This was the first chess match I watched live. Dina and Hammer had me laughing, Andrea and Alex had me laughing. It was a great match. My first time watching a match on RU-vid couldn't have been any better.

Andrea: Ferrari Alex: Ugly wall

11:34 andrea wants to make alex laugh so bad

Levi told me you won the whole shabang! Congrats you go girl!

Great job winning the tournament!! I watched most of it live, and really enjoyed the commentary.

Forget the chess match, Dina and Hammer were the true heroes 🤣

It's more like a shiny new beautiful Ferrari smashing into a steel-reinforced beautiful alcoholic Ferrari. But I understand analogies are hard when it isn't your first language.

It's just so good to see Andrea silent for an hour and a half.

"which is simply just not true..." fucking cold bro

Really fun tournament. I enjoy Hammer and Dina commentary they're great together. Congratulations to Alexandra for the tournament win and congratulations to Andrea for a great tournament as well. It will be interesting to see if they do indeed go to Norway.

Alexandra never fails to beat her sister

their faces while shaking hands 💀💀

Awesome job Alex! I also want to congratulate Andrea for going 6/9 and 11th ! Also, the 14 year old who got 2nd!

Ahh Andrea you were doing so good :(

I was really hoping that Botez would win but I'm glad that Botez won, even though Botez was always gonna be the favourite to win against Botez

Love the commentators they add a ton of humor

I love the banter between hammer and Dina lol

The editing is top notch, well done.

Commentary is funny with biased commentators, and I'm here for it.

Great sibling rivalry 😂😂. Keep it up!!! Andrea: keep your spirits up, you don’t need Stanford to be a better chess player 😅. Plus, Dina needs you to ride your beautiful Ferrari more skillfully 😅

In my opinion, and honest pov is that until Andrea can play more than just the London; while adding a title to her name as a good chess player. I think she won’t be equal to Alexandra in level, but even so… she is a great chess player that can beat a lot of players; another not everyone or a reasonable amount of people that have a title. I am definitely a fan of both, but more Alexandra than Andrea..

The tournament was very entertaining.

Introducing... The Future Grand Master "Ugly Wall" Defense...

It must have been hard for Andrea growing up with a more beautiful and higher rated at chess sister but now she has grown up she is just as beautiful, smashes it with her DJ and music production collaboration, has a fantastic personality that balances cerebral focus with whimsical humour and energy. Oh, and let's not forget her physicality: the honing of her body and the bravery she showed with the chess boxing that shows a determination to go beyond what Alexandra would consider. The fact is that without some radical medically induced brain changes (maybe nootropics such as modafinil combined with intensive training under an electro magnetic stimulation induced child like neuroplastic brain state) Alexandra is always going to be that little bit better unless she suffers some sort of brain injury or neurodegenerative illness. Ability at chess is a bit like height. When a player begins to learn they are lying down as they improve they go from crouching to stooped to eventually standing straight. At that point sure a tiny extra boost might be achieved by stretching but there is a limit beyond which your height will not naturally increase. It's like Alexandra's chess height is 5ft 8" while Andrea is 5ft 6". Some kids can become very good when young but the fact that non of these kids with elos of 2000+ at 5 reach an elo of 3000 shows that there is a physical limit. Sure, most people can improve a bit as most people never even reach their standing chess height let alone the stretching height that can be achieved with hours of study. Magnus carlsen is just a giant. The fact is he may still have a stoop but has not had an opponent that has forced him to stretch.

4:22 Dina is such a Chad bro 😂

I loved how they could barely contain their excitement at the start of the match 😄

I need to see Dina v Hammer in chess boxing

Manchester derby

12:30 - Andrea: She just double Daooooown

this was such a fun game by Alex and Andrea, topped by the chaotic commentary of Dina and Hammer. 😂

Double Botez Gambit. Somehow, the universe did not explode into nothingness.

It was fun watching the tournament and listening to Dina and Hammer. Hope we get more of them.

4:28 I'm crying this is great

10:50 dina dina dina what are you saying ??? "slow" and "ferrari" do not belong in the same sentence

Now upload the tournament winners ceremony, BotezLive.

Like they have never played each other before xD

Wow, I've never seen such a beautiful Ferrari crash into such an ugly wall! 😂😂😂

Congratulations, Alexandra, on your Tournament win. And Andrea, this one Did look good for quite a while.

Unbelievable gap in play relative to rating. My money was on white, but Alex won the night, despite the bad knight move. I thought Alex was down 2 in Tempe and lost. I thought the early knight move was an outright blunder, but as it turns out, Alex won the lovinz and I lost all my cash for it. That’s sisterly love. Andrea mustache done somethin’, cause your relative rating makes no sense relative to the gameplay. Andrea wanted her sister to win for emo reasons, intimidated out of argumentation.

Why is there a photo of Andrea on the wall?

BTW Dina and Hammer best Casting Team ever

This is some good coverage, nice and short, easily consumable. Thank you for this content 😊 I note that Andrea said she’d like to surprise her sister 😅 So then she thought to play the same opening that she always plays 😢 You can’t make this up 😅

Wow! Alex heard Dina say that? Hmmm, that would definitely be motivating. And I liked the confidence with the smile right at the end 😉 I should be more suspicious 😎

When the Kosintseva sisters faced each other, they played obviously pre-arranged draws in about 14 moves. When the Muzychuk sisters face each other, they do try but still mostly end up drawing (although there had to be a winner when they played each other in the World Cup - it was Anna). When the Botez sisters face each other, absolutely no chance of a quick draw. They will be going straight for each other's throats.

If andrea looses she can always pull out her boxing skills and beat Alex, irl! D:

6:14 😂 the reactions!!!

Well, this time Andrea could outplay Alexandra for 1/2 game, and then lose. Next time, 60%... ;)

That dude's death stare from behind the plants at 6:36 is scaring the hell out of me ... 😆

younger sibling is usually more athletic but lacking mentally.

as an older sibling I agree, Alex needs to win, if she doesn't all of her pride will be smashed into bits. Andrea wants to win, Alex HAS to win.

Kindly don't shift the chess board on screen randomly it is difficult to concentrate

because us younger sisters have to stick together and I'm old enough to be your grandmother, ..if I was mega mega rich, I would hire the best grandmaster in the world to coach little sister for big win! Love the video so much fun!!!!!!❤❤

Who am I rooting for!? I love this duo too much....

this matchup was never even fair. alex is so much better and just slapping away at the sis? siblings..

Is it possible to get the PGN of all 9 of Alexandra's games from this event? Are the games on a website somewhere? Bravo to both for 8.5/9 and 6/9.

Dina was crushed by the wall.

it constantly swapping from the hosts and "potential moves" and not settling to show the actual moves is infuriating

These sisters are very cute😊.

in the background seems like alireza got humbled and now plays smaller tournaments

The best move in chess is to KO your opponent with one punch and let their timer run out.

Bro... Andrea should do modeling 🔥🔥💯

I dont gwt how andrea was in such a steong postion an then just trew to the ugly wall 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It always seems like Andrea has a change against Alex in the beginning, but Alex always finds a way to ruin all her whole gameplan as if she never had a change.

This would have been good to watch if the board wasnt jumping all over the screen
