    Don't be so hard on yourself the first one was not a terrible game, it was equal for most of the game, and the a little inexactitude and sas, he got the advantage. Taking into account that he is one of the highest-raking players ever, I will say you did great. The speed of his mind is just amazing, I know in part is because he is young but even so, amazing.

    Serving to popularize chess, giving voice to other players, and more! Only sad part was seeing some of the dumbest comments I’ve seen in a while from people who might claim to be fans of chess, but clearly aren’t talented enough to ever make it as supporters /s. Stay strong, gamer

    Me hearing this:"Apart from Magnus Carlsen, he's the only person that loves endgames"
    Also me: Am I his son? I too love endagmes. Especially when I have a material adavantage I most of the time queen all my pawns and fork every piece out of my opponent untill they resign or I mate them. Its so satisfying

    I like how you interview during a game of chess. I think it's intentional to not let him focus fully on the game, so it's really only first degree playing. That is not the fully focused Alireza playing in competition, just a date...
