They should have only gotten assistance for one move. And the mystery assistant should have been much stronger. What’s the point in the help being lower rated than the opponent 😅
@@xyzzy4567 I am not sure if 1 move will matter in the long run unless they were thinking of a absolute trash move, maybe like a very strong GM for 10 moves.
@@xyzzy4567 ikr. one of those players were 1900 rating and andrea is 1995. its basically now worth to call andrea in here. because after that it was just andrea and that other 1900 dude vs alex. which is enough to draw.
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 story behind the thumbnail: ruclips.net/video/4PTGD5LB7A4/видео.html Also I hope you all like the video, I know it’s different than our usual stuff but I wanted to explore creatively :)
Hey I’m the OP but GM Hans Neiman said in an interview “the chess speaks for itself” and then talked out. He went on to lose like 4 games in a row so it became a meme.
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.
You might have heard of power in unity. I mean if was like just total up the rates of the guys and + Andrea it was like 6vs1. It was surely an advantage
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.
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 :)
It was mate in one at 10:25 if you take the rook they king can’t take back being checked, king can’t move up cuz the bishop and can’t move diagonally in the top left bc the queen is also guarding the area
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!

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.
Yeah that's why I expected a GM too, like have Hansen give them tips for 5 moves or what
She should come in for one key position and Alex shouldn’t be able to hear what she tells them
Without her staying, they'd get crushed...
Wasn't one of the guys rated about the same as Alex?

@@BotezLive You hade time to create one!^^
Andrea should be limited to helping for 5 moves. Fun stuff!
Right? Because otherwise why not just call her in on move 1? Lol
and none of them are allowed after move 10?
yeah I feel like they would've lost without all that Andrea help lol they were walking into Alex's traps
"Now this is a ChessBang"
Of course Andrea was the expert. What did we expect
exaclty my thoughts lol
Loool i thought the same thing
Well yeah but I still hoped for a GM, like Eric Hansen would have been fun
Ceiling stockfish
"Expert", she's an average chess player
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.
well, it would reduce the random blunder for sure. I think as long as they have time to talk things out it's for sure an advantage.
You might have heard of power in unity. I mean if was like just total up the rates of the guys and + Andrea it was like 6vs1. It was surely an advantage
if its like 5 800s versus a 1500 then they are much stronger than 1 800 because of the reduced number of one move blunders, but past a point i agree
Thought she was playing 5 boards. 5 on 1 board is a disadvantage for the 5 players.
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.

She knew what she was doing with the thumbnail
Did what
She didn't. But she learned what she did and decided to use it anyways.^^
There is a clip of them discussing the thumbnail a while back.
It's nice to see a friendly game without all the violence typically associated with chess.
@5:14 look at the guy behind andrea. Where are his eyes going? Lmaaooo
Alex's kryptonite is definitely Andrea; namely her talking. She's powerless against it.
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!
When you call for a professional chess player and Andrea walks over.
I can't believe she actually used the thumbnail after being told it's sus lmfaoo Alex is the goat for that
Andrea “that thumbnail is great marketing” Botez 😂, but great video Alex 🙏🏼
I rather enjoyed Andrea cooperatively domineering the team. It was quite a excellent example of diplomacy
