I envy the kid for his ability to concentrate on the game as well as do the trash talk.

I don't know who you are but your positive thinking for others make me feel good for you 😇 You also achieve more in future🙂
Alex IS a word class chess master. She's not on IM level but she's still brilliant
Fischer II!
I'd love to see him go against annacramling or her mother or father or any one of her family cause all of them are chest grandmasters.
I played German Masterships… this young boy plays amazing
I can feel the embarrassment she felt.
He's super talented, sharp, measured. And surgical. Kudos to him. Able to unsettle opponent with trash talk. But Magnus trash talk is another level. I just saw him play in the blitz world championship, arranging his pieces AFTER the clock started for like 20 seconds. That's ultimate trash talk. Saying to the opponent "you couldn't beat me" even if I had extra time. And the way Magnus did it, with no direct cues, can really get into an opponents mind.
Damn he's good, even won the trash talk contest 😭 Not an easy thing to do
lol
Bruh🤣
Yes!!
Hmmm I think Alex's trash talk was genuinely better but the kid backed his up where she did not. If you were to look at the raw dialogue by both players without the context of the games Botez's trash talk is objectively smarter/more creative but that is to be expected when comparing your avg 11 year old to your avg 27 year old. (I do not mean avg in terms of chess obviously, I mean avg as in their command of the english language). That being said, I do suppose part of good trash talk is whether or not you can back it up. Either way, I think it's reasonably debatable as to whom won the trash talking.
@lef ofbadanboojy I never said he did. I'm responding to the OP's statement and giving my own analysis on it.
I love this kid. Alex's talking game is also hilarious. Pure banter.
Shes mean 😂 top tier roast
4:04 For those who don't understand why she dropped out of the first game. After 3 moves, she will have lost the rook and the queen. It would therefore have no chance against a tower opposite. It was better to give up to save time.
Thank you!
Oh need to take a look but thanks!
Did you figure out what her early mistake was as well? He mentioned she made a mistake early in the game, but I didn't see what it was.
Can you explain please?
Why not move the king to the escape square on f2?
I'm still having trouble how the first win was a checkmate.
it wasn't but after that check she would've lost her rook and possibly her queen and when you're down that significant amount of material against strong player like Tani you can never recover! so it was best to just resign
It's not a trash talk, its a trap to his opponent. Claps to the kid👏👏
Hell yeah the kid freaking rekt her but ngl i didnt like how she trash talked that game even rom the start she just straight up said he was afraid of her and that hes gonna say shes his favourite player, oh thats some good tasteful banter right there reallllll considerate and respectful to keep repeating that to a kid throughout the whole entire game 😂😂😂 , i guess she usually just trashtalks grownup men but jesus even when the crowd were hey like i want the kid to win lol and shes like "well im the underdog" haha st.f.uuuuuu
That trap won't work on me because I am deaf.

Nah, it was straight up trash talk. No reason after winning to gloat and say who is not your favorite player. Turned up trash talking after winning a game. If it were to trap the opponent, you'd trash talk if you're losing. He was trash talking bc he is arrogant. Showboats as well

I dont understand how his queen on b1 was a checkmate? Couldnt the king move to F2?
She could, but she loses her rook in next move
That cheeky smile when he realized whatever he had planned worked in the first game...
Im sorry if im being dense but i didnt understand how he won in the first game can you explain it to me it looked like after the kid took her rook she could move her king diagnolly to the left and the game could continue, am i wrong?
@Oscar Benigsen ahh I guess I was confused about that cause I thought she had him on the ropes on the past few moves. Crazy how one move changed it up so quick.
@@vivekthomas359 she'll still lose the other rook to the pawn on d6 after she moves the king. She was effed.

@@AlmostAtom could also end in a draw? Like seriously?! Tani doesn't even stretch himself to beat the Botez sisters. He eats them for breakfast. There's no way she's recovering from that blunder against that much higher rated opponent.
For those who didn’t get how she lose the game after check @ 4:04 After check by Queen it’s not a check mate game is still on.. as king has a place to move at F2 . But after that move she will lost her Rook by simple pawn attack at E5 . So after such moves boy in super advantage as he have rook + queen & now girl only have queen. Yes game is technically not over at 4:04 but there is no meaning to continue such one sided game. How?? That’s d next few moves… After check- white king move to F2 Than - black pawn attack rook at E5 Than - white queen may take one of pawn either C5 or E5 Than - black queen again give check to white king who now at F2 by killing A2 pawn Than - white king need to move to save check Than- B3 white Pawn gone & so on…. In short after check by queen there is no mean to continue d game as it’s just wastage of time .

@@gerrick6091 You can go to time 4:04 and look at the board and pause. You will notice that the black pawn at d6 is attacking White's remaining rook, but White is in check, so she is forced to move her King to safety or block. Moving the White king to safety as you suggested leads to pawn takes rook. Blocking with the rook just results in it being taken by the Black queen, and blocking with the queen is even worse.
That kid is incredible! His banter is top notch, and his victory dance is to be admired! Well done buddy!
