  • Very nice win. I noticed Nigel Short and some other GM's watching. Does this make you more nervous knowing they are observing your match?

  • Not at all. When I play chess I only think of what's going on the board. There could be a fire or earthquake I would not notice :-)

  • wow now thats what i call a great concentration :P

    your channel is awesome , keep up the good work please !!! :)

  • Thank you!!!)))))))

  • Arhhh...this is a much better format. Very difficult to follow the previous games because the chessboard was hard to see properly.

    Chess looks pretty cool in Russia...not so great in the UK. Some clubs have failed in my area because although we can get juniors we don't have the adults to keep them interested or to run the club. Mathematically speaking in the UK, it seems that for for every 1 adult that leaves we lose 5 children. It would be great to get some of the adults playing again.

  • Yes you're right. In the future I'll try to combine the digital board in the image. Thanks for your feedback!

  • bichop ee chree :D

  • very nice..i wish girls played chess in my area but sadly it's all guys..it would be interesting is all i'm saying.

  • Eres preciosa y juegas muy bien, Felicitaciones!

  • Alexandra, have you ever played in a tournament against a man who complained that he couldn't continue to play the game on account that your beauty was distracting?

  • very very good video I whish all videos was like yours really

  • but white never has attacking chances if they castle king's side

  • I think she meant she was 2 pawns up as white's c pawn is doubled and they are useless.

  • interesting novelty. the pawn sac was well worth the improvement in black's position. especially in blitz, when your opponent may not have enough time to find a suitable answer.
