Kosteniuk - Tatiana Kosintseva Blitz Chess 2010

[ChessQueen]

@RodoMCMLXXXV Thanks! Chess is surprisingly similar to real life. In chess you must show your "character", as in real life. Some players are more "aggressive" (attacking style) and some more "reserved" (defending style). Both are fine. It's funny sometimes we have people who are reserved in life who are aggressive in the way they play chess, maybe chess helps to gain self-confidence. There is a lot of psychology in chess!

[najo12341234]

At 4:29 are you realizing you're in trouble?

[ChessQueen]

@najo12341234 In chess a game is never won or lost until one of the players resigns or is mated, so you have to keep your concentration to the very end. There are a lot of things that can happen, even when you have a so-called "won game". It's very hard to win a "won game". You may be "in trouble" the whole game and still end up winning the game!

[a015537]

I commend you my Queen Kosteniuk, you showed us a game that you lost. I know that can't be easy for you ; )

[DarkStarz900]

damn...o_o

[AwsmUsername]

ah ok, nvm (:

[AwsmUsername]

why don't women and men play together? :s

[ChessQueen]

@AwsmUsername On this channel of mine "chessqueen" you can see many games where I play with men.

[oskarpineda]

as a sport, i apreciate the extraordinary estetic spectacle that chess is. among the intlectual effort of the players and the tension around, is like a living painting or a mute play, acording you want to see it. great game of both tatyana and alexabdra

[eezreeq]

hi...during the match, how confident you were that you were gonna win over tatiana??

[ChessQueen]

@eezreeq In chess you're never sure you will win until your opponent resigns. It's actually quite hard to "win a won game", there is the risk of losing concentration, being too overconfident, and so one should be extra careful at the end. You can only relax after the game is totally over.

[raoulhery]

i am confused! the black won but which one was Kosteniuk

[ChessQueen]

@raoulhery In this game I was playing white and I lost, I thought you might enjoy the game. By the way, in chess, when you write the players names, the one named first is playing white. So here it's Kosteniuk - T. Kosintseva that means I'm playing white and Tatiana is playing black.

[raoulhery]

@ChessQueen Fine!! One question, how many time each player have in this blist championship? 5min?

[ChessQueen]

@raoulhery Nowadays we use electronic clocks and the FIDE time control is 3 + 2, which means 3 minutes per player for the whole game + 2 seconds per move. It comes out to about 5 minutes per player per game but avoids situations where you lose on time with a totally winning position.

[steventai65]

Wow! Two hot chicks playing chess against one another.

[Kenmorfdublin]

That was just EPIC!

Forget boxing!

I've rarely seen anything more dramatic sporting wise in my life, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

I fell off my seat just before the end - who won?

;)

[ChessQueen]

@Kenmorfdublin Glad you liked it! In this game, Tatiana won. Several people said that they wanted to see some of the games I lost, so here's one of them. :-)

[Albertan1956]

Alexandra thank you for sharing this video with us.

[Albertan1956]

They were playing the Ruy Lopez opening:Breyer variation

[dekonfrost7]

very well played game...

[lexus400]

The picture quality of all your chess videos in this series are very clear and sharp indeed.

By the way please could you tell me the height of the king as shown in the games being played here and i'm guessing that the king height is 3.75 inches tall.

Thank you so much in advance of your reply to my post here thanks.

[198022sasha]

Молодцы девчонки! Респектище обеим!

[nerfpredators]

there really fast in the start

[ChessQueen]

@nerfpredators At the beginning we both play fast because it's a well-known variation in the chess opening theory and we've both played it several times.

[mrkraynov]

Объясните дилетанту, почему Вы на 10:17 решили брать пешку на g6 ладьёй?

[babykevinxoxo]

I wonder who are Russia's Chess Prodigy's of today? The Russian Chess School is best in the world.

[phillyshell94]

love the sound of an expensive chessboard

[Katu1337]

Was that the Breyer variation?

[qurdel1]

Good Game, Incredible speed at the Opening, and showing a game that was actually lost.. I guess its rare among Top players especially Women not to be so arrogant as many Male Top players unfortunately are.. Nice ;)

[sobribuqhari1]

goood ! queen chess vs king chess magnus carlsen how win ??

[ChessQueen]

@sobribuqhari1 See my game on this same channel against Carlsen.

[BORFILE]

Breyer sistem ...

[mautand]

I am sad Alexandra lost to her. I can't see that.

[theGrandInquisitor1]

that was something like a beauty contest!

[gendut67]

there fast

[topoklocker]

Kosintseva has a very beautiful nose =P

[m4758406]

Tatiana Kosintseva played very fast

[banjobreakdown2727]

That's cool she never resigned even a piece down! Most people would but she went almost the whole way :-)

Great game to both :D

[exmortis123game]

good

[VINDYVINDY]

Ruy lopez Breyer variation  my favorite

[renumeratedfrog]

A white queen and a black queen... Haha ;)

[janweltevreden]

a2-a4!? Risky.

[deschner]

all the people walking around the tables could be distracting!

[ChessQueen]

@deschner When you're super concentrated on your chess game nothing can distract you!

[GarrBear314]

hate to judge a book by its cover but i can't imagine that girl in the background had any idea what was going on, even as intently as she was watching lol

[elfanel]

adrenalinic final

[Nickalispicalis]

What about Nb5 ? Going after the queen. Ignoring the knight

[MrWaldseemueller]

Wow, that was pretty fast, to be honest. How many hours a grandmaster spends in one day for chess?

[ChessQueen]

@MrWaldseemueller In chess the more you train and practice, the better you become. So Grandmasters spend a lot of time training... 6 hours a day, or 8, or 10, or more... It's just like studying for an exam, you don't want to go unprepared!

[baar34]

Do you get paid for playing chess?

[babykevinxoxo]

@baar34 Yes the big tournaments are 500K to 3 million dollars

[RandiRonaza]

you is my idol alexandra

[1985HotRod]

a thinking game lol

[Anzweifler]

What a good game! Kosintseva played almost perfectly defending the queenside and searching for counterplay on the kingside. But if she wants to become still a little bit better she must learn to have a pokerface. Her face is like a mirror. You can see all things which happen in this tensefull position in her face and in Kosteniuks face too. Watching this is very funny and I admire their talent.

[warblerab]

it looks like something is plugged into the chess board. What is that?

[ChessQueen]

@warblerab Sure those are electronic boards, the games were shown live on the internet to thousands of chess fans.

[warblerab]

@ChessQueen thankyou for the info.

[TheDiabolott]

@warblerab.......... damn........... kosintseva is a great opponent.... still as pretty..... for me kosintseva won thise game..... in deed

[mattyismadness]

Russia has the most beautiful girls in the world, lololo...

[jeymo006]

you haven't come to Medellin...

[ChessQueen]

@jeymo006 Sure I have been to Medellin, I loved it! Just google the two words Kosteniuk and Medellin and you will see TV news and photo albums of my visit there.

[goddessSIF]

Alexandra is tenacious... i would have resigned earlier. Also, how do you control your nerves? I get much too nervous when I play because I want to do well.

[Stier19812002]

Why do you record all those Blitz games? Some of them are decided because of terrible blunders due to lack of time (not this one).

[Myleanne14]

hmmm. very tactical. good game. 

[rufjvm2008]

0:14 - 0:42

I could not do that, nor born again

[hawaawy]

alexandra i love u .. u r so talented and i wanted u to win

[raceface000]

Alexandra , why are you so hot in this video ??

[eyessack]

I love watching your videos, Alexandra! I think that woman in the background is jealous of you hehe. Do you have time for other hobbies besides chess?

[mckill2007]

Im a fan of yours, thus Im lonely that you lost your title, but Im just wondering, why did you lose anyway?

[LLucasViana]

Interesting Ruy Lopez variant Zaitsev. Good game.

[dmed312]

Have you ever seen a fist fight break out at a chess tournament?

[zippofuck]

Ruy Lopez :D Ng8 :D haha nice manouver :P i played it at old times when i had 15 years old :D Black atacks in the queenside and white in kingside :D

nice game :D

btw: you are getting been more and more beautiful :D

well done :D

[zippofuck]

Ruy Lopez :D i'm loving it :D

[dmed312]

Are they allowed to premove like that? Meaning, are you really allowed to move your piece before your opponent has hit their clock?

[TrueWodzu]

@dmed312 No, but rules in that matter are bend very often. Especially when you are on the time pressure.

[Hyco1000]

Grandmaster, Kosteniuk, I was wondering, do you have a coach or is it just natural for you? Also, do you give lessons? I would be glad to learn from a Women's World Champion! Thanks, best of luck@

[ChessQueen]

@Hyco1000 Sure I have a coach, actually I have 3 of them! Chess mastery is 10% talent and 90% work. I don't have time to give lessons, I only take lessons!

[Nickalispicalis]

@Hyco1000 Spend $60.00 and buy Rybka and learn from God.

[ChessQueen]

@Nickalispicalis I have Rybka and all the computer software one can want, but those don't teach you how to think.Nothing can replace a real human coach. Computers and chess software are great, but they should not be the only training one gets.

[cabletvmobile]

@ChessQueen I agree. Magnus wouldn't be where he is right now if not for his excellent coaching. A similar argument can be made when comparing Anish Giri and Wesley So's general progress. Computers can help on memorization, calculation and tactics. Humans can help on deeper positional understanding and experience.

On a lighter note, I'm curious. how did your husband win your heart? I want to know how smart and beautiful women think. :D

[stefobl]

@ChessQueen correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that a human needs to be trained to play chess, in my opinion it's just the thing of practice.

[5tonyvvvv]

Amazing victory with black!!!

[5tonyvvvv]

Two sexy bitches

[MrBlackSiegfried]

@5tonyvvvv left...sexy ? lol

[x6801]

Tatiana is very beautiful

[PerpetualParakeet]

I am Tatiana's biggest fan :-)

[kennedyrojas]

Alexandra I am an average chess player. I wish I can play with you I'm sure I cannot beat you but at least ..coz I have a crush on you. just take care always ok

[grover4grooves]

Kosintseva is one cool customer. Great game!

[Milo69ish]

This is the perfect angle. We can see how beautiful you both are :-) and we get a real sense of the intensity of the struggle - not to mention the apparent animosity (which adds enormously to the fun...). All that's lost if you put the camera any higher. And nothing in return is gained, because we can follow the moves on a PGN viewer.

You two should play a real multi-game match (Fisher vs Spassky-style). You could beat her (you have before). But whoever won, it would be great for the game.

[Tomasovich15chess]

beauty and smart is good combination :)

[Vazcov1609]

@Tomasovich15chess but dangerous! :)

[arholguin]

Damn!! That was intense! Its very rare to see Alexandra loss but hats off to Tatiana! She came to dominate; VERY fierce!! Excellent =]

[ChessChat]

High class game , Thanks for posting this. It was

great to see the Breyer System.

[awalkinggod]

Hey Alexandra, I need a good dose of humility lol. Can we meet up online and play a couple of games? 

[bobdog69yes]

you look tired here Alexandra ... must have been a draining tournament

[Minkki82]

wow alexandra looks so annoyed after this one.. Pity we couldn't see the clock, they both kept on looking at it.

[scorici]

how many games per day do you play in this competition?

and it wold be nice to analize it for us to understand how a GM learn from own mistakes

[LeonComposer]

You are a good sport for posting your loss. Keep it up! 

[ThisSentenceIsFalse]

wow, this one was heartpounding. most intense game I've seen yet

[RoMantyK711]

i love the way Tatiana moves the pieces but i didnt like the way she gave her hand to alexa

[Immortalassassin1]

[colourmegone]

Sad to lose but your opponent played well. Miss the commentary.

[Zakdayak]

Yes, I'm glad you showed this game as well, demonstrates humility and sportsmanship.

[billyblanco1]

it was ok... but i prefer the ones Kosteniuk wins :D

[NiceGuy55]

freakin intense, great job for the both of you!

[merrimac291]

i'm glad that you show the games you lose as well as win.

[Toxie207]

Not good view of board this time.... :(
