What about if they take with bishops not king

That was not very short!

Ah, the chessnut vs chessnut board game! 🙂 When I will get serious about my chess and play otb more, this board would be a great tool to practice with and develop my 3D vision of the chessboard.

Your opponents all know you play the english as white and are well prepared. Play some goofy opening like 1. g4 or 1.a3 for complete surprise. It worked well for Tony Miles when he answered Karpovs 1. e4 with 1....a6. back in 1980.

Bro u litteraly made an 2hrs video and only 14 likes?

Bro wtf, white king was on check

Thanks for the post Alexandra. Being Dutch I was wondering how the Dutch Defense got his name. I found this in a chessable blog: 'The origins of the Dutch Defense are unclear, but the name of the opening is believed to originate from a book written by Ellias Stein, published in the Dutch city of The Hague in 1789. In this book, Stein suggested that 1…f5 was actually the best reply to 1.d5.'

Wow, what a strange, no castling, but very exciting game!

я тоже хочу❤

Nice!!

Your opponent just gave you the initiative by trading on d4. You followed up with good moves. Bh3 didnt make any sense, didnt stop the queen from attacking b5 pawn since queen could also move to e8. Loved how you finished the game with a simple pin. Well played and looking forward to the rest of your Olympiad games Sasha.

Ganaste medalla de oro????????

You are a pro at unboxing!

Thank you for posting this Alexandra! Somehow the Olympiad already feels a long time ago, but it's only 10 days ago that it ended.... This was a great day for the entire team!

So is YT chat the correct chat? 😅 (1:50:32)

It looks interesting. I am tempted.

Cool

Congratulations 😊😊😊😊😊😊

Congratulations for the draw, Alexandra! At some point I thought you will lose 😅 but your opponent didn't find good moves. It surprises me you say your end game is not that good! You're a champ 😊

Great recap, thanks! When watching the game live I remember you took a long time to play Kf1. What alternatives were you considering, or did you havd some doubt about the move?

Thank you for this recap! Great result against a high rated former World Champion. You rock!

Enjoy a lot!! PURA VIDA!!

A couple of days at the Kyrgyzskoye Vzmorie health resort or catching some sunshine along the shores of Issyk Kul should be relaxing enough as preparation for any tournament. Best of luck at Budapest.

If you have a choice between Stiges or NY which would you want?

Hoping everything works out for the Best, Wishing You and Your Team All the Best, Much Love A l e x a n d r a . . . 🌞🔮✨💓🍀☄🔥🚀🌹👑👸

Thank you for the updates! That issue with the visa's will cost the rest of your team some valuable resting time before the first round..... That is not a great way to start the Olympiad 😞

Nice game. Any losses in the speedrun where opponents account gets closed for fair play violation should not be counted.

congrats

Great video as always.

Alexandra Samaganova || Chess, your content has a special place in my heart

I would have fallen for that mate.... Nice!

That last knight sacrifice was savage

Instructive game, showing how easy it is to go wrong if you dont keep an eye on king safety.

gg, enjoy your videos very much.

That was a good game I’ve found myself in some of those positions. I have to remember to see the whole board.

First time i hear your lastname. I alwaus misspronounce it

GM Ediz Gurel is a monster at such a young age

What a great game you played under such time pressure. One trap after another to the very end and you avoided them all. Nurgyul will be extra cautious the next time she faces you over the chessboard.

Way to go Sasha))) Tough match!

NIce to get a draw in the endgame with this time pressure!

Seems like the more I study an learn about Chess, the worse my game gets. I still Love it though.

I think it si Magnus fault

We can't see allá the moves...

Haha, the look an Ian's face! Thanks for posting this Alexandra.

Yes, that Rd3 was a major set back for you. Nice to see part of the official commentary and coverage as well! Thank you for this game review.

no way!!!! Would love to have seen this and play both of you :D

I appreciate the game review. 👍❤
