@ILikeGirlsWthBigEyes I don't think it was a joke, probably small talk about what was happening in the tournament. Before such important games you don't want to lose concentration or focus.
@Fupper16 Morozevich's opening was not that dubious, it's an opening like any other opening. My firm belief is that you don't win a game in the opening, but rather in the middle game. The goal of a chess opening is to get you to a "playable" middle game. It's in the middle game where you can show your talent and outplay your opponent.
presented with honesty and great style. To watch you punish a super GM for a weak opening is a great thrill ! Thank you Grandmaster for sharing your amazing Chess.
@dufflepuds Indeed the full description is not in the RUclips version, sorry. The world blitz chess championship was played with FIDE blitz time controls of 3 + 2, which means 3 minutes per player per game with an additional 2 seconds per move after that to guarantee "correct" play at the end of the game. You are right I was the one to do a central pawn break, but that was dictated by the opening and simply gave me early equality with black. The fun part started in the middle game.
@sotovo You must have quite a smart dachsund, if he can win a game of chess, even against a Grandmaster rated 2750 ELO like Morozevich. By the way, I would hardly call a position after the 3rd move of white "an endgame" ;-)
@ulujm This game, as well as the ones against Vishy Anand, Magnus Carlsen, Judit Polgar, and soon to be uploaded Levon Aronian, are all from the Moscow 2009 blitz chess world championship. I uploaded also 10 videos from the 2010 women's world blitz chess championship (9 wins and 1 loss). There are many more chess videos of blitz and classical games on my channel "ChessQueen". Blitz games are easier to annotate and more fun since they are filmed live.
@Fupper16 Yes, it was very dubious. Dubious enough, that Alexandra barely had to even play at all! In fact, after white played c3, he might as well have resigned! Even my dachsund could convert that "endgame."
Very good win Alexandra. My all best wishes are for you in chess life. But one thing I was wondering in this game how a grandmaster with over 2750 can overlook that check mate?
Great game and audio annotation, congratulations, Alexandra!
well done, thanks for sharing the game! :)

Beautiful Sicilian victory !! I always wonder what to play after white plays c3 in the beginning :). Thank You for sharing.
@scorici Yeah, it has been awhile, hasn't it?
And this one is commentated! Hurray!!!
FINALLY!
Simply beautiful checkmate at the end. =)

Great game! I really enjoyed this game. Congratulations... ChessQueen!

@tuzmor There are plenty such games, where I lose to men, and lots of games, where I lose to women. That's life, you win some, you lose some.
@ChessQueen Hi Alexandra. :) I was wondering, can you remember what the joke was that you shared with Morozevich before the game started?
This is an eye candy match - a pretty woman vs a very handsome man. Quite a rarity in chess world :)
@Fupper16 Yes, it was very dubious. Dubious enough, that Alexandra barely had to even play at all!

nice win!
"FianCHEtto" is an italian word: the correct pronunciation is "fianKetto". CHE = K... as in "Kosteniuk". :-)
Very good win Alexandra. My all best wishes are for you in chess life. But one thing I was wondering in this game how a grandmaster with over 2750 can overlook that check mate?
I wish I had her chess ability and his hair :(
MATE ME TOO PLEASE!
We all know why Morozevich concentration was lacking here LOL ;)
