- The World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen challenged me to a friendly match while I was streaming. To make it fair we played with time odds: 5 min vs 30 sec. Drop a like and let us know in the comments if we should give him even less time the next match!

#Botez #MagnusCarlsen #Chess - Hry
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
Alex's immortal clip
Bruh
Buhahaha
Chess hello
Hmmmmm...
When the actual game comments
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
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
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.
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 😉
The fact that Magnus can come back from almost every situation is astonishing to me.
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
17:50 "I do have more time, but If I think he's gonna think on my time." *Magnus just memeing with his mates*
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.
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
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
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 💀
His reaction was so cute after he said the 2:25 “c’mon Alex,take my time”
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
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
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 😂
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.
“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.
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
21:17 "pls don't mate me, im not ready" 💀💀
💀💀💀
@@WiIdcard. Not the pick up line we should say out loud for sure
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 😆
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.
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
Extremely entertaining, so tense! I really felt the immense pressure myself as well. So happy, you got one!
What did it cost to beat magnus?
Alex: everything
... but she is happy.
Nzinn73 The Thanos gambit?
03:55 Alexandra: who's laughing now?
Literally Magnus and his friends laughing at that time
I was kinda hoping for a checkmate win against Magnus, but honestly the timeout win at the end made it more intense somehow lol
Insane chess match reaction! Cool to see chess players with these level of competitiveness
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?
@@RipVanWinkle1899s 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 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.
You did not beat Magnus. He just gave the game to you out of pity.
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
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.
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
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
That was beyond impressive. You both think so dang fast it makes my mind numb. Such a fun video to watch!
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.
"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.
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...
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.
Alex: screams
Magnus: mission accomplished 😎
Lol, got it!! 😁
Bruh wtf
Dude what 👀👀
😈
If Magnus was mating me, I would scream too
Alexandra: Loses a Queen
Magnus: Is that what you call a Botez Gambit?
Congrats Alex, and what a great sport on Magnus's part. It's great to see the GOAT having fun playing casual.
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.
That’s the best content in a while. Congrats, so fun to watch.
The Botez gambit 💀 3:18
Loved Alex’s four screams into the void at the end. What a payoff lol
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..
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.
The greatest of all time for a reason, like 6 matches won with 30 seconds and didn't scream!
That was fun! Especially the Botez Gambit. Holding it over the square for a few seconds. Nice work! 🤣🤣🤣
Alex's side: *panics
Magnus' side: "vlad has a nice hair"
“I learned rule of the square from David’s forehead” this was actually funny though 😂
I love how alex goes :" the queen are off ,I guess he's decent at Endgames"💀
love how david was just getting roasted as magnus was absolutely destoryoing her in chess
It's like the speech from Miracle (hockey movie), "If we played them 10 times, they might win 9. But not this game. Not tonight."
Watching both of their expressions in the last few seconds was priceless!!! 😅😅😅😅
Watching it from his perspective is so much better. It feels so tense watching it here
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.
11:06 "See, now we are playing theory, I don't know who's gonna know it better" LMAO xD
Probably one of the best chess videos I've seen. Thank you for it, Alex. And congratulations you deserve it all!
Ya ain’t no way anyone was checkmating him
To beat Magnus, time is the only way
~ Master Oogway
The greatest chess player of all time crashing at the Chessbrah house while playing Alex online is amazing.
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!
if Magnus went full hallucinogen, he would change the world
8:28 “i learned the rule of the square from David’s Forehead” got me rollin’
Explain pls, im non eng
alexandra: *suffering* magnus and his friends: *PARTY PARTAYYY*
and in fact they lost
We want more of these matches Alex. Please, Magnus is pure
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.
Alex sweating the whole time while magnus is listening to roasts
Being winner with that time diff is not a flex for sure but anyways congrats and i support alex coz she is such a beauty.
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
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 was great. It's nice to see Alexandra so happy.
I can't believe he can actually win with thirty seconds.
For Alex it was the greatest moment in her life but for Magnus it was Tuesday
"beat" is a strong word, you were -12, 2 moves away from getting checkmated, with +4.5 min time odds 😂😂
Y'all are awesome. Thank you for all you do
3:30 the greatest weapon of all... botez gambit
That is definitely a legit win and she deserves to be proud of that win! Magnus is not only the best chess player in the world, he is a chess genius, and is 1000 higher than Alex. This win is like winning the Mike Tyson 1 round challenge during Mike's prime, but instead of winning money, Alex has this accomplishment to brag about for the rest of her life!👏👏👏
no it’s not
Yes like beating mike Tyson when hes sick with 1 arm missing and 1 leg while going easy on you
That's not called an win because he was clearly winning but it was a time loss
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
I laughed so hard that Magnus said is that what they call a Botez Gambit 😂
Shoutout to the viewer who hooked up the challenge lmao
The music, the sweaty face, the excessive breathing, his cronies, the hair (so much hair), Alex's triumphant roar.
Clearly, this is what the internet was invented for.
alex is so competitive I love it 😂
“i didnt actually understand the rule of the square” BRO MAGNUS YOU LITERALLY MADE A VIDEO ON IT
3:03 oh my gawd ... even I saw that.
This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to see a series based on Botez 👍
Andrea said there's a doc coming
@@moreblack I look forward to it. I think they’re sitting on an empire, it’s just a matter of the right things coming together at the right time.
I would love to watch a challenge series!!
You are on it now.
teaching magnus smth in chess is smth u should be very proud of
On the game Alex won Magnus only spent 2.2 seconds on his last 10 moves. Crazy.
Oh man hes trying to mate me.
Me: Can ya blame him?
15:46 OMG!!! Ultra Instinct Pro Magnus!! 😱😱🥶
Вы оба очень хороши! Магнус знает, что делает, Александра тоже знает, что делает! Вы оба те, от которых учатся другие люди, мне 40, я учусь у вас!
