The fact that he always plays with two cronies behind him like some kind of mafia boss never fails to make me laugh
So true.. the G.O.A.T.
Magnus is the final boss in chess. Those are his hicthmen.
Hahahaha
This made me laugh, a lot. Great observation.
I never knew who those guys were. Now I know it, thank you, hahaha
I was once paired with Magnus in a game but he just left without starting so I won.
I proceeded to scream around the house, I called everyone and told them I beat Magnus, I appeared in the village tree billboard, I signed everyone's cow, I wrote a book about dealing with the pressure of being better than the world champion, I sent Magnus a chess set with my face carved on all the pieces, refused the world chess championship trophy, put Kasparov on hold for a week, accepted a diamond membership for me and all my descendants in perpetuity from Danny Rensch, got a special intrusive gift from Hans Niemann and declined a foot massage from Agadmator.
Then I woke up and saw that Magnus had opened with his knight to f3 so I threw my laptop out the window
Oof
This was awesome. I laughed so hard.
😂😂😂 I'm weak
🤣😂🤣😂
WHAT 💀
The fact that Alex actually taught Magnus the rule of the square is amazing. He’s always learning and humble enough to admit it
I think he already knew it but in his way (without drawing a square)
He knew the rule, just not under the name "the rule of the square"
The fact that the greatest endgamer of all time didn't know that rule is also amazing in its own right. He doesn't need to learn rules, he just figures them out instinctively
😂😂😂😂
you are so gullible lol
botez: *intense thinking and breathing*
magnus: *laughing and talking to his friend explaining why one is more handsome than the other*
me watching: what on earth is going on-
Pretty much, I believe in this clip Botez gained more effeciency than Magnus as the games went on.
The playing was super fast because of the premoves made each game.
As you said, both sides of this epic battle were playing roles : Magnus and his friends the mafia trying to recruit Botez to increase their ranks, even inticing Magnus to get in a couple with her at some point 😂.
I wasn’t there on stream but that’s what I got from watching the video and reading somme of the comments, so if anyone feels like adding something to my comment, feel free to do so ^^.
I am new to chess btw and this was super fun and entertaining to watch, as well as a bit instructive, somewhat ✌️
Clearly rooting for Botez here, even if she was played to be the underdog 😉
Alex's immortal clip
Bruh
Buhahaha
Chess hello
Hmmmmm...
When the actual game comments
Honestly being called "Tricky" by Magnus means you are pretty skilled ngl
The botez gambit is just that good
Because hikaru is 'nice'
@@abhinavsinha9239 decent*
Ehh... In this particular case though he just meant he can't premove because she might hang the queen instead of moving the king.
I think by tricky he just meant she may do some "dumb" move trying to catch his premoves lol
The fact that Magnus can come back from almost every situation is astonishing to me.
21:17 "pls don't mate me, im not ready" 💀💀
💀💀💀
@@WiIdcard. Not the pick up line we should say out loud for sure
I'm glad you won one, but Magnus' ability to play chess is a pleasure to watch. The guy is an absolute menace.
Basically the Brady or MJ or Chess
i could take him
@@flips4life892 prove it lol
it was on time and not checkmate so ehh
@@flips4life892 Maybe in a fistfight.
This guy is soooooo good. A master is screaming beating him when he only had 30 seconds and they had 5 mins. And it took them like 6 attempts. I’m not slighting Alex.
I’m just appreciating how gifted his mind is. Like wow
Funny thing is she wouldn’t have beat him on time if he didn’t spend like 5 seconds looking away from the camera and talking to the guys
He would probably be the favourite with like 12 seconds as well, and Alexandra is a WFM, insane
@@hankmoody666 idk how insane that is..
WFM equals to approximately 2100 FIDE.
Magnus is 2850 FIDE
The difference between them is like the difference between a 1000 and a 2000.
He uses less than 1s on each move while talking to the other guys and wasted many seconds looking away. If he was serious like Alexandra then gl to Alexandra
You've gotta be an Andrew Tate fan
@@dohxdoh_ he uses they as pronounce for a girl so prolly not
Alex is not joke. She is really strong. It is almost impossible to beat Magnus even for some grand masters. It is only single win with difference time limit but totally worth it.
30 seconds vs 5 minutes 🥲
and she beat him using time..
Simp
@@vishnuvs9253 He's magnus, that's something.
Their rating difference is like 1000. This match is basically the same as Andrea vs xQc
His reaction was so cute after he said the 2:25 “c’mon Alex,take my time”
17:50 "I do have more time, but If I think he's gonna think on my time." *Magnus just memeing with his mates*
“He’s trying to mate. He keeps doing that, it’s very annoying.” - Every woman on the internet
And this "mate" is not entirely chess related.
7:18 Are you telling me Magnus Carlsen, arguably the greatest chess player of all time and the person who has studied literally every move in chess, legitimately learned something from Alex Botez? That’s a W on its own right there tbh.
This is the flex of the century 💪
Before that he could always see when a king was going to get there in time but using the square technique uses less cognitive power. I wonder if it also makes him calculate it 0.1 of a second faster.
Despite having only 30 seconds, there is always smile in his face, but sometimes having 5 minutes can make a person nervous all the time in every game.
It really proves how great player he is....
Most of her nervousness comes from the fact she's playing Magnus. Even being one of the biggest chess content creators, she is starstruck by the GOAT
He doesn't feel pressure cause chess is his best friend
30 seconds is a lifetime…ok it’s not, but if you play bullet, your mostly playing from memory, your not playing a game in uncharted territory, however, playing with 30 seconds against someone who has 5 minutes is a completely different ball game, or board game if you will, she can make moves that would throw you out of familiar territory and force you to think on your feet
its weird to feel pressured playing against a friend in a casual chess game
Having five minutes is not great either. Sure she has more time, but if she doesnt play fast, he will have more time to analyze the board, which just results in her losing.
We need a GothamChess breakdown of this game.
Maybe, I hope it is not one of his high-speed shorts, too hard to follow.
@@toriless I prefer high-speed pants.
Cringe
@@fisher9943cope harder 💀
Found this channel yesterday and fell down the internet chess rabbit hole. 10/10 would trip again.
It will take more than a day.
Welcome!
you are here bcz of the botez tiddies, stop lying
Magnus learned the square rule from Botez and telling everyone about that just shows how humble Magnus really is.
You can afford to be humble when everyone recognizes you as the world champion. Wake up.
You sound miserable lol so many people in those situations have inflated egos and would never admit it that giving examples would be silly.@@aaaab384
@@aaaab384 Right, but it's a nice thing to see when you know that most people in a similar or equivalent position don't really acknowledge their colleagues/co-athletes in the field. Magnus has bragging rights in a way (since, yes, he is really good at chess) but he's not full of spite for people who are lesser than him. And in this day and age, it's just a bit refreshing to see. Chess used to be a very elitist sport.
That endgame in 13:00 is a beautiful one.
Alexandra is a solid player and it shows you how much knowledge magnus has about chess to have that much defense with the few pieces that remain
The Botez gambit 💀 3:18
It's pretty funny how 2 very smart people got played by the chatters to entertain them.
2 ? One magnus and .. who?
@@Fm83473 apparently not you.
@@mariojoia1337 he didn't say he was
It's content =more money
It's win win for all of us 😂
@@darealskinwalker keep defending a thinly-veiled misogynist im sure itll get you far in life
Something alot of people don't know: the trick with having more time isn't to stop and think about your move it's to play just as fast as your opponent because the time you take to think is the time your opponent uses to look at the board but if you playing just as fast as your opponent at the end of the game you might be a couple minutes up.
Yeah I always get confused as to why people don't do that. I was wondering if I was just too dumb to understand the reasoning.
But if you play just as fast as your opponent, you didn't really benefit from the time odds?!
@@johnblack7862 u play just as fast as ypur opponent and then at the later stages of match where u have to think a lot, then u use your time.
Good luck reaching an endgame with Magnus whilst trying to play as fast as him.
You don't need that much time for the endgame, time odds are most important in the middlegame
this reminded me of a tennis player with a quote:
"And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row." - after defeating Jimmy Connors at the January 1980 Masters.
@@matthieuschmitter6676 nah, im too young to new him at his playing age, he's just from lithuanian decent, so somehow he came up when we talked with colleges about lithuanian tennis players.
Botez Gambit never fails 💯👍🏿
It failed against Gotham Chess.
@@toriless pov:- ur 9 years old and dont know what sarcasm is 💀
@darknessking367 bruh I swear lol 😆
Bravo to Alex and Magnus, this is some of the best content I have ever had the pleasure to watch!
I agree!! When Andrea & Alex teamed up to beat Dan was a great run as well! Very entertaining 🎉
Npc typa comment
Yes, watching Magnus trying desperately to mate Alex, and she only gives him 6 seconds....
Is always a pleasure.
@@Aloman76 Everyone watching botez sisters is an npc
@@Aloman76 dude botez comment section is full of npcs bro
This felt like watching a superhero movie. Just incredible emotions all around. Was expecting Alexandra to go full Gladiator with "are you not entertained!" in the end 😂
respect for Botez but still he is on another level....no one comes near to him in this era... he is always evolving learning from his mistakes
What did it cost to beat magnus?
Alex: everything
... but she is happy.
Nzinn73 The Thanos gambit?
Alexandra has achieved the biggest flex of all time.
the biggest breath of all time for sure
Being -12 in the final position, 2 moves away from getting checkmated, with 4.5 min time advantage? Huge flex, warra win 🥶🥶😂😂
@@Hilltycoon I mean he is the world champion if you can defeat and unarmed top tier fbi agent with a knife I count that as a win.
@@MRjackpack he won 6 times any explanation?
@@Seezius let's say Magnus Carlson won the games against you about 1000 times
No body bats an eye
But you win one time
Everyone losses their minds.
It's not because Magnus is bad at chess it's because nobody expect you to win because Magnus is actually very good at the game.
(If I spelled any thing wrong please don't correct me I don't have any respect for this language tnx)
I was kinda hoping for a checkmate win against Magnus, but honestly the timeout win at the end made it more intense somehow lol
Extremely entertaining, so tense! I really felt the immense pressure myself as well. So happy, you got one!
03:55 Alexandra: who's laughing now?
Literally Magnus and his friends laughing at that time
Alex: screams
Magnus: mission accomplished 😎
Lol, got it!! 😁
Bruh wtf
Dude what 👀👀
😈
If Magnus was mating me, I would scream too
Insane chess match reaction! Cool to see chess players with these level of competitiveness
Alexandra: Loses a Queen
Magnus: Is that what you call a Botez Gambit?
19:02 Just as Alexandra played, Magnus turned back to chat with his friends and ended up wasting time 😂
with that wasted 5s he could ve won that game
Chadnus doesn't even remotely care.
Guess he's not such a genius after all?
@@KBP120 XD he didn’t even care he lost. He may have destroyed her if he really cared.
@@TR-4 True. But that's not what the point of my comment was. My comment has to do with the fact that he was looking away from his screen for all that time while playing this game of chess where every second matters. He may not care a lot here, but he certainly isn't trying to let anyone win. The point of my comment is that he looked like a clown doing what he did-regardless of the circumstances of the game and whether he was trying as hard as he possibly could or not. To look away from the screen that way for that long is 🤡 stuff, period.
Btw- I'm KBP120
"How I Beat Magnus Carlsen"
The recipe is to have ten to one time odds and try seven times to finally have a game where Magnus doesn't pay attention for 5 out of his 30 seconds (19:02-), and let him lose on time right before he checkmates you.
Good luck trying this recipe against him. ;)
@@TheRuns2 No, it wouldn't work. I'm a weaker chess player than Alexandra Botez. So I should set Magnus' clock to 5 seconds against my 5 minutes. Then I could beat him one out of seven times, and make a video about my glorious triumph. ;)
@@andraspongracz5996 You don't understand chess as well as you think you do. If you continue to study, and mature as a person, you'll realize that you're embarrassing yourself when you say things like this. People cease to learn with attitudes like yours
@@sister_eris4624 Thank you for your moronic input and complete lack of sense of humor.
@@andraspongracz5996 then stop being a clown, beating magnus Carlsen with any time odds is already a huge acomplishment.
The best part about the botez gambit is none of Magnus’ crew thought it was real, they thought it was for the meme, yet it was entirely real
Epic. :)
The sub-1000s in the comment section saying "hurr durr, he only had 30 secs" have no idea how tough it is to beat Magnus even with those time odds...
I love how when giving up the queen he had a moment of doubt that you were trapping him with your own personal gambit invention. hahaha, but then realized actually there was no trap.
It's just a crazy part of the human experience that in any competitive arena, at the very high end of the distribution, there's still so much differentiation. Alex is a great chess player, but Magnus is Magnus.
Remember when magnus played, 30secs vs 5mins with a grandmaster in a tournament when he stuck in traffic and still won the game... , no doubt it is easy for him to play with alex with that time difference..
8:28 “i learned the rule of the square from David’s Forehead” got me rollin’
Explain pls, im non eng
The Botez gambit at 3:07 is funny 😂
I literally screamed at my screen "No Alex, don't do it!!" and when Magnus took her queen, I started crying of laughter
BTW she said could I come in? And Magnus' knights were like do you dare?!!
That’s the best content in a while. Congrats, so fun to watch.
That was beyond impressive. You both think so dang fast it makes my mind numb. Such a fun video to watch!
Imagine the level of play required by Alex here to Botez gambit just to put Magnus into a false sense of security and beat him like 3 games later. That is true strategic mastery.
I've been watching clips for over a year but you gals won me over with this one. That's high quality entertainment right there.
“I learned rule of the square from David’s forehead” this was actually funny though 😂
I really like this, congrats by the way.
I hope more of collaboration with Magnus in the future, it's a delight to see his game
Loved Alex’s four screams into the void at the end. What a payoff lol
1:51 "vlad's hair is hot" that was so random 💀
11:06 "See, now we are playing theory, I don't know who's gonna know it better" LMAO xD
Congrats Alex, and what a great sport on Magnus's part. It's great to see the GOAT having fun playing casual.
Why do I see so much hate in comment section? You're very good one, 95% of all chess players can't even beat him when he just premoves... You've done a great job Alex!
Ya ain’t no way anyone was checkmating him
To beat Magnus, time is the only way
~ Master Oogway
Watching it from his perspective is so much better. It feels so tense watching it here
I never saw a person saying "he is thinking" with so much happiness and excitement. Very nice video, the breathing and all that forehead hair touching means you are legit player, girl you lived that game in its all intensity, I sub just for that.
3:03 oh my gawd ... even I saw that.
3:30 the greatest weapon of all... botez gambit
Shoutout to the viewer who hooked up the challenge lmao
Probably one of the best chess videos I've seen. Thank you for it, Alex. And congratulations you deserve it all!
Watching both of their expressions in the last few seconds was priceless!!! 😅😅😅😅
That was great. It's nice to see Alexandra so happy.
The greatest of all time for a reason, like 6 matches won with 30 seconds and didn't scream!
We want more of these matches Alex. Please, Magnus is pure
alex is so competitive I love it 😂
if Magnus went full hallucinogen, he would change the world
As a 51-yr-old trying to learn chess from nothing, I can only dream to play as well as either or both of you. Thank you for this fun video! I was rooting for Ms. Botez despite the time difference, and celebrate with her! As a dad of 3 daughters, I admire strong women who are confident and classy in the face of intense pressure. 99+% of men in chess could not beat her, much less show the class she showed in this video.
well you won’t be playing as well as both of them ever that’s for sure
there are other male chess grandmasters who could beat her
If they are still in print look for the chess books by Yasser Seirawan. They teach you the elements, tactics, strategy, openings and endgames. This is the heart of good chess.
@@vMicmic And you will be never be a better human ever that's for sure.
@@vMicmic You don't know them. Maybe they can.
This is sooo funny, I laughed myself to tears. I watched the final minutes over and over again. What a cliffhanger. 20:55: "ahah he is thinking!!" Meaning: he needed a whopping 2.5 seconds for his next move! Look at how the facial expressions change in both of them. Even Alex getting silent (very uncharacteristic) in the last seconds, completely devoted, I love it. And then: yes! Yeeeesss! She is completely bouncing of the walls while she tries to hold back her tears of happiness. Lovely.
Meanwhile the clip shows the enormous difference between a very good chess player and the utter genius Carlsen is. Look at how casual he is playing despite only having 30 seconds. He plays chess like I breathe.
love how david was just getting roasted as magnus was absolutely destoryoing her in chess
Alex sweating the whole time while magnus is listening to roasts
The greatest chess player of all time crashing at the Chessbrah house while playing Alex online is amazing.
4:56 I would use the bishop or queen to take the rook. But i don't have pressure here so.
With queen if he doesn't see it coming, it is checkmate with queen e8 afterwards.
alexandra: *suffering* magnus and his friends: *PARTY PARTAYYY*
and in fact they lost
''There we go. Alright easy win!'' 0:33
hahahaa i like that!
I love how alex goes :" the queen are off ,I guess he's decent at Endgames"💀
That's not called an win because he was clearly winning but it was a time loss
That was fun! Especially the Botez Gambit. Holding it over the square for a few seconds. Nice work! 🤣🤣🤣
Y'all are awesome. Thank you for all you do
3:08 queen gambit😎✌️
a poker chess mixed game would be fun
She should be able to beat most of the games with respect to her activity in chess games .... Congratulations she advanced him with time constraints... Lucky
I can't believe he can actually win with thirty seconds.
The day you beat Magnus was the most important day of your life. For him... it was Tuesday.
Just playing. Utmost respect to your ability! Great content!
That yes After winning by time out got me 😂😂😂
teaching magnus smth in chess is smth u should be very proud of
I laughed so hard that Magnus said is that what they call a Botez Gambit 😂
15:46 OMG!!! Ultra Instinct Pro Magnus!! 😱😱🥶
Awesome video Alex! Nice job in the last game:)!
I sat down for some light chess before dinner. Now it is 20 minutes later, and I lie on the floor starved with arrhythmic heart beat, waiting on the ambulance. It may be the last day of my life but a smile scrolls my face... for I have finally witnessed a true bona fide miracle. Well done Alex... well done. P.S. ( I am too old to buy a hoodie, but if you embroider that sig on the left breast of a nice button down, I promise you I would buy two of them).
Grandpa simp
Ambulances are expensive, get an Uber.
Did you take the clot shot?
Bro got vaxxed and boosted
I felt your pain when he asked if you were drunk 😂
"Whats the worse that can happen?" she asked as she proceeds to do a Botez Gambit
Alex's side: *panics
Magnus' side: "vlad has a nice hair"
"beat" is a strong word, you were -12, 2 moves away from getting checkmated, with +4.5 min time odds 😂😂
Oh man hes trying to mate me.
Me: Can ya blame him?
The fact that she had to play with him with 30 seconds and make him play black and plays him like 4 times of losing until she finally beats him is just funny.
"Because he has better hair and he's more handsome" aw he's nice to his friends
