Blitz Kosteniuk - Almasi

[Brundo031]

3:55 "So we see that both PAWNS have about 2 and a half minutes!" :)

[ChessQueen]

@Brundo031 Stumbling over the word "opponents" means I guess that we are both just pawns in the game ;-)

Grandmasters, such as yourself, deserve better chess sets than that :). They need those beautiful sets from the former USSR called 'Grandmaster chess sets' for you to use. Another Great Game Thank You :).

[ChessQueen]

@Ronbo710 True, it is much more agreeable to play with nice chess sets! I'm not sure I play better with them, but that's definitely possible! :-)

[moviecritic6]

@Ronbo710 The "vanity" chess sets aren't good for speed chess.

[TheThaifood]

at 3:47, why not Bf6, which you give you a better advantage. But great video.

[LLucasViana]

9:07 Qxc5 bxc5 Kxc5 white wins immediately.

[LLucasViana]

Interesting variant chosen for black, considered one of the best, but with little iniciative. Great game.

[LLucasViana]

Tell me about you? Dreams? Worst nightmare? bothers you lose a game? have husband or boyfriend? How to win your heart? Kiss.

Hi Mrs Kosteniuk! Greetings from Saint Lucia. I have seen every video you have annotated on youtube, and I love your annotations, you're brilliant! I have a DVD of yours, called "Kosteniuk World Chess Championship". That video was simply outstanding, I would like to thank you for your DVD's and videos which you put out to us. On 2:26, instead of Be7, black could have tried something like Ne7 intending Ng6 then Be7, Rd8 Nb7, h5 etc? Would that have been tenable? Btw, I'm 14 and I play the Berlin!

[gonymets]

Thanks for the video!

[raylopez99]

Excellent video, nicely done!

[wrap99]

Nice video with only criticism being that watching the game from a live board is more difficult than from an electronic diagram.

[DeuceGenius]

great vid chessqueen...  love your annotation.

[panxdaisy]

In 8:46 after ..Rc7 the reply should have been .Qd6 as it threats the Rook and the pawn. And in 9:04, ..Rc5 the reply should be .QxR.. you can see it at first glance.

If I was a high ranking chess player and my first name was Zoltan, I would totally wear a superhero suit with a "Z" on it to every match! lol

[KougaLight]

I am sure, you are a really great chess player and pretty woman, you are an inspiration is possible to be pretty and intelligent. in spanish: eres una gran jugadora, eres campeona por tu esfuerzo y amor por el juego ademas de tu perseverancia, ojala retengas el titulo por muchos años.

[Ruxistico]

thanks! It's not easy to crack the berlin wall. It always draws for me (except when I REALLY try to win... Becoz then I always push to hard and loose lol)

[benoni45]

Chess really is Cool with this lady. Keep up the good work Alexandra!

[chicagofriends]

Kosteniuk is the best!

[chicagofriends]

I think she is doing great job and i like her annotation but you know i am chess player and very rarely a chess player will show you games that he lost. It would be nice if she annotates one of her lost games

[ChessQueen]

I did annotate my lost game against Stefanova from the final of the Beijing Blitz Final.

[GPS1971]

nice win, very instructive, thx for sharing!

[crazygorillas]
