Check out my amazing "frenemy" Anna here: www.youtube.com/@AnnaCramling
You guys are so hilarious and are so perfect 🥰
You sisters should make access to the Prague series available on CZcams.
Make love not war. Greetings from Amsterdam
Wow, this blindfolded thing always makes me think of how good they actually are, because I could never do taht
If you can play Chess it's really not hard. You do it anyway when you calculate your lines.
Do anything religiously for 15+ years and you’ll be good too
@@dasurmel1424I disagree. I can play chess. My memory is terrible though. Hence I would not be able to do this either.
@@dasurmel1424 I'm a stronger player than Andrea but can't play blindfold at all.
Same, agreed. I wouldn't remember where anything is. So I would just be doing either moves that don't make sense or illegal moves because other pieces are occupying where I'm trying to send my piece
Andrea and Anna playing chess without pieces and blindfolded here me can’t even keep track of four or five chess pieces on my side not blindfolded
And then there is me who can't even remember the starting position
It's amazing to me that people can keep track of this in their heads.
If you're not doing this, your ability to think ahead is severely limited
You can play blindfolded?
@@KeldonAWhen you think ahead, you don't need to remember everything that happened before.
@@laurentlbexactly
@@user-tv9ki3ij6tEveryone can. You need experince. Not hard for a human brain. Believe me.
I like the way Anna's blindfold looks classy; like she's on the way to a masked ball, and Andrea's makes her look like a gremlin.
pretty on-brand for both of them
why does she have the monsters inc mask on
@@jameskirbyofficial4899Looks more like a pepe lol
@@vibrationalally yeah it's pepega
she is european..
Real fun content -- their energy levels are off the charts as usual, plus it's super impressive how they're keeping track of the position from start to finish while being chaotic to each other and calculating moves in advance. It's almost like those were not blindfolds but VR headsets
This was way more fun than I expected. Great job both of you.
I listen to this video blindfolded
I read your comment blindfolded
defeats the purpose of watching botez
That's a huge blunder!
what was the purpose of the blindfolds if yall were playing without pieces anyway
I thought that aswell, but i think its just to make it less suspicious as people would think they are faking it, and that they can see a chessboard in the other direction or something like that
Click bait.
just for fun?
Plus at the end they looked to the side at the virtual game board, showing they had it up on a screen. The blindfold was to make sure neither saw it during the match.
There is actually a huge point to it since if you can see the board it's vastly easier to visualize where the pieces are/can go. Think about knight and bishop moves.
"YOu BAstArD!" im dead
07:40 “Now it’s getting complicated”. Me: It got complicated 7minutes ago 😅
I have no idea how ANYONE does this.
I love that they're blindfolded without any pieces in play physically.
Andrea dropping the "BING BING BING BING" blindfolded.
That pasta strategy almost won Andrea the game lol 😂
All I can say is I probably wouldn't be able to beat either of them.
I am almost as good as them normally but couldn't play a blindfold game to save my life
I am sure you will find something else than playing chess... 😅
2 Friends playing chess without a board nor pieces, nice
Useful skill to have if two chess players are ever stranded on a desert island together...
@@EnglishMikeTrue, I guess technically any game can be played with visualization and memory
reminds of the game where Hans Niemann and Andrew Tang played in their head during lunch
Technically they do have a board 🙃
@@jhoncena1111Poker would be fun. Flopping a royal flush every hand!
I'm digging Andrea's explanations. Well done!
That might have been the most solid handshake in the history of chess. Maybe that is the way to avoid the awkwardness at chess tournaments: Make the player shake hands blindfolded
My mind would have me thinking about something non chess related so quick. It's amazing they can remember the positions for 5 minutes while having conversation
Really crazy stuff, this always impressed me how ya do that blindfolded!!!
I can't even sleep blindfolded and they're out here playing chess blindfolded. They're built different!
There is no way in hell that I can do this
Two girls... one chessboard.
your content with Anna C. is money. Anna is a bit sheltered and innocent Swedish girl and you two are more typical loud, overconfident Americans, CA girls no less. And there is truly a friendship and kinship there. The intersection is magic. let's see more.
I was about to comment something but then you already mentioned everything I wanna say👌👍
"You can resign and we can go get pasta!" hahahahahha dead
Wow, no idea how that managed to play the whole game blindfolded. Impressive!
Okay, this is fun! Please do many rematches
never thought i'd see the day that andrea beats anna... we truly are living the-good-ending TM
There is no way I could hold all those positions in my memory. They have amazing memory capacities.
8:06 this is HILARIOUS!!!! I just launched a full mouth of water out of my nose.....thanks for that LOL.
8:18
I like how they're wearing the opposite clothes - black on top, white on bottom vs. white on top black on bottom.
Next Ann and Andrea play chess using telepathic powers .
I love that I’m getting great advice in this one
I love it when all you streamers get together cuz it shows that you just love chess so much and you don't care about the streaming like other streamers. Chess has always felt like a family game to me. My sister taught me to play and after she passed away, I continued playing chess to honor her. It's probably why I have to watch these ladies/gentelmen play, it gives me some sort of Solace. You know I never actually beat my sister in chess the whole time she was alive? Anyways I love that you guys are bringing people together that's what matters 💝
Impressive and must take alot focus.👏 id have to give each piece their own storyline and lore just to memorize every move and still blunder my queen for the plot ofc. Great game 👍
Beautiful! I like the genuine joy and surprise in your voices 😁
Andrea is afflicted with a rare medical condition known as Gremlinitis. Symptoms include but are not limited to:
- Excessive verbiage
- Excessive volume
- Hyperactivity
- Urges to slap with tortillas
- Violent reactions to birds
You guys are so inspiring and pretty 🥰
I would have been lost after the 3 move. Dam there good
y’all are so cool! people love to meme but y’all are great chess players
Why are the both of you so amazing 😂
Very impressive! I could maybe get 4 moves in but after that I'd be lost.
I see less with my eyes open than he does with his eyes closed.....
I watched a lot of players playing blindfolded, and they always super focus, and Andrea head is like all over the place, which make it even more impressive she actually won.
I am not even able to imagine the board without pieces, 64 squares is too much for me
me and the boys in the middle of history exam :
2:15 try telling that to Magnus. He told 60 minutes that he forgot the position, so he just replayed the game in his head and remembered where he put his rook.....while holding 20 other positions in his head
Magnus have a special memory so he never forget, just can't remember the English name for it. But he basically remember all the positions on all the games he ever played
Well done Andrea you really did good, because Anna is strong when she play Blindfolded
I love seeing the both of them smiling together 😅
Impressive stuff
Damn. My limit is like 15 moves each side so far. If I want to find a tactic it takes me like 10-15 minutes. I don’t see the board as clear so I have to replay every single move and then picture small sections of the board and see/deduce the position. Only after a bunch of repetition like that does the position become clear enough for me.
i can barely see the board in my head and could maybe to a few moves, but definitely nothing impactful
12:16 well, that happened.
All is fair in love and chess.
If you play mental chess and you think about moving a piece, do you then have to move it?
More content like this, please.
crasy they can keep the position so well in their head😮
How did you develop that skill?
Years of practice analyzing games, chess positions, and thinking multiple moves ahead where you have to visualize the board several moves ahead of the current position. It becomes second nature at some point.
@@EnglishMike are you sure it is that? Do you have that skill yourself? Because for example, you can solve a rubiks cube blindfolded and not be an expert cube solver because you can train specifically for that skill.
Why do they wear blindfolds if there are no pieces on the board ? Is that because actually seeing the board, even empty, is helping to materialize the position in their head?
I think it was going on a computer in front of them.
The gotham blindfold adds + 500 elo
2 Girls, 1 board.....
Holy shit....did not at all think Andrea would be able to do it blindfolded. Bigger respect to both of them for this great exhibition 💚
Same. I saw Levy and Hikaru do it and I thought I wish I could do it like that but Levy's an IM and Andrea while she is a good chess player her ratings both online and FIDE aren't that great. This is probably just "cope" but I wonder is there any chance this was fake or maybe they trained on a blindfold for a long time which would also explain it, the speed of it.
@@RaniaIsAwesome They both grew up playing chess and when they talk about a game after they can instantly visualize positions that were played over an hour beforehand when talking about plays. So there's no reason to believe it's fake.
@@EnglishMike I am a decent player normally but I can't play blindfolded and have pretty bad short-term memory. Always feel awkward when the opponent wants to analyse with me and I, having forgotten most of the game already, am like "yeah, sure, I guess"
How do people even remember where their and the other persons pieces are
I have no idea
daily practice
Its called imagination
Chess players are trained to visualize future positions of the pieces anyway so they can find the best moves several turns ahead. That trains the memory in a way that helps with blindfold chess. There also much be some pattern recognition going on too since most chess games evolve into similar arrangements of pieces that chess players see all the time and can recognize instantly.
@@EnglishMike Remembering every move u and your opp makes is hella hard. Very impressive
how does it feel to play the same video game over and over again for years
andrea: "i am no longer talking out loud."
Andrea proceeds to talk non-stop for the rest of the video.
Two blindfolded girls in a room, looks like will be fun
Question - I want to order a botez hoodie, but I live in the UK and wondering what the extra duty fees etc might come too. Any UK folk bought one who might be able to give me the heads up?
Wow..... energy, smart, funny ....great vídeo
Wow! Them being able to think through an entire game like that just multiplies their attractiveness to me 10 fold! Amazing!
That's always impressive. Gg
And I still walk into doorways and stub my toes..
Did Andrea try to pull of the Alien?? Or what line was she talking about?
I laughed out loud with this. Anna is hilarious
Back sixty years ago, I had taped a large chess board above my bed. A friend and I used to play in class. Since we got A's in the class and never wrote anything down, we never got into trouble.
In theory, they wouldn't really need to be blindfolded with an empty chess board.
Congratulations!!! Very Good game
You can beat me blindfolded...
How do you get the purple chess board theme???
On browser click play then the setting symbol in the top right you can’t do it on mobile
Whats the purpose of the blindfolds when there aren't any pieces on the board anyways?
I'm pretty sure I would lose against both, even when they can't see anything and I play normal.
They set it up exactly how they would normally play blindfold chess. It prevents them from using the board in front of them (or any other cues) when visualizing the positions of the pieces.
@@EnglishMike Ah I see. Thx for the explanation. 👍
It's a lot easier to visualize _anything_ when you cut off your sight completely. No images to distract you and take energy, just you and your mind.
Canadian chicken vs Swedish chicken
When two opposite ends of the spectrum meet each other 😂! The spectrum of politeness!
You two are a hoot !
Hah! That's cool my friend and I just started talking to eachother again and then I see a video of these two again lifes good.
knights before bishops//
hate the clickbaity title, love the video!
why did they needed blind fold?
Anna is getting clumsy
Do I see a Karl Jobst signal projected into the night sky? XD
omg andrea how are u so goddamn gorgeous?
also i liked the explanation format
Anna es la MEJOR DEL MUNDO🖤💘
I am pretty sure Andrea peeked at the board at 12:45
well well i didnt guess this tht one day the little sis would also take up explaining her moves , unexpected and nice
You didn't need the blindfolds, there were no pieces on the board...
When everyone knows you'll play London... :D Don't change Andrea haha
I thought you two hated each other.
Hoo. I d like move the piece , for 2 angels
why exactly you need blindfold if you dont use board anyway 🤔
Title used to say Anna... hmm.
Did you get pasta?
