AYO? that thumbnail 😳

Alex: I'm not sure about the thumbnail now Andrea: stonks

Imagine 5 guys being Hikaru ,Garry kasparov,Mikhal Tal ,Bobby Fischer and Me😎 Combo of everything -Speed -strategy -Ultimate sacrifice -Positional play -Blunders/Mistakes/inaccuracy

the amount of motion you & your sister brought to the scene is unmatched!! forever rooting for y’all

Let's be honest we all clicked this video because of the thumbnail

From not being happy at the Andrea reveal, they sure jumped quick to follow her advice 😂

this is so impressive to me. Alex has such a calm and calculated disposition. Like a tiger swatting chickens

2:25 They all immediately got nervous when they met her. 😂

That's the kind of 5-on-1 action that I'm coming to this channel for! 😄

I've always wondered when Alex would eventually participate in a Chess Bang.

"Now this is a ChessBang"

you can stalemate a bit better by taking the bishop to the f4 square, which allows the pawn to promote and then you can box her into the bottom right square cause the bishop is dark squares. unfortunate is was an h file pawn that survived, but whatever. if it was a g file you could've pulled through with a checkmate ending if you played carefully.

I think Andrea should only stay for a few moves, like just a consult on a position. I feel like it ended up just being Alex vs Andrea.

"You guys were very close, but then Andrea came and weighed you down." - spoken like a true sister.

I loved this deal which took place in a good mood. it's a pleasure to find your chess games live 👏👏👏 nice family spirit 😍😍😍

Let’s be honest we all know the 5v1 reference here and to take it up a notch. So does Alex 😂

2:13 The smartest man there. Alexandra is much higher rated and a professional seasoned player. Plus, five people who have not formed a real team can get in each other's way.

I don’t think they should’ve let Andrea assist for so long. Because it became Andrea vs Alex

The interview and introduction before action but it’s chess😂😈

I rather enjoyed Andrea cooperatively domineering the team. It was quite a excellent example of diplomacy Gg to all for playing Godspeed

Lmao they actually went with the thumbnail

The thumbnail speaks for itself

5 Players is not an advantage but a Disadvantage, since we have 5 people with different ways to go about each move.

him: moves pawn to d5 everyone: alright alright good job

Andrea should be limited to helping for 5 moves. Fun stuff!

The 1482 guy is underrated finding out that position is a draw that quickly is 1600+ if not even 1650+ 😂😂

Wonderful cinematography and storyline! Hope to see more well-thought content soon.

I SWEAR TO GOD IF THAT BOARD WASNT THERE THE THUMBNAIL WAS LOOKIN LIKE SMTHING ELSE 💀

Of course Andrea was the expert. What did we expect

She knew what she was doing with the thumbnail

lol @ their mystery professional (and also the fact that they bothered to give an intro) 🤣🤣🤣🤣

the thumbnail gpt my mind rolling💀💀

Not convinced that 5 guys are that much better than the highest rated among them. I guess they'll catch the odd calculation error but going away from the board half the time seems unhelpful.

Let's be real here. If most of them had 1400-1500 and one had 1900, this was essentially a match between a 1900 and Botez. The depth of knowledge that the 1400-1500 have, would not be enough to make useful contributions in critical moments. The game-changer was Andrea's introduction to the mix - another high-rated player providing depth into the game.

The thumbnail for this video makes it look like a Brazzers production

Intro looked like something you'd be watching with headphones late at night in your room.

It's nice to see a friendly game without all the violence typically associated with chess.

Andrea “that thumbnail is great marketing” Botez 😂, but great video Alex 🙏🏼

When you call for a professional chess player and Andrea walks over.

My man with the glasses giving off main character with hidden superpower vibes 🤣

Alex's kryptonite is definitely Andrea; namely her talking. She's powerless against it.

I can't believe she actually used the thumbnail after being told it's sus lmfaoo Alex is the goat for that

the thumbnail still gets me every time😂😭😭

You girls are making a great effort to innovate in this game, and it's been worth it. It's always nice to watch you. Keep the good work!

5:09 Cant blame him

@5:14 look at the guy behind andrea. Where are his eyes going? Lmaaooo

The word chess is saving this video

This was so good!!! I normally skip through 20 min videos but this one had me thoroughly entertained throughout the entire thing. Also Andrea was so nice, not letting her sister gaslight the boys into thinking they were destroyed lol

Really really enjoyed the video. Would love to see a video of Alex vs similar rated 5 players who play in rotation as in person 1 plays 1st move then person 2 plays second move and so on. That was just a suggestion tho. Thanks for the amazing content.

This is like a CPU with more cores vs a CPU with a single core but a higher clock rate 🤪

Alex knew exactly that she was aiming for the draw! But when kaiski said it at 14:14- Look at her expression- more like you caught me red handed

Great thumbnail, great competitors (all individually solid rankings themselves!), and great execution all around

I think you guys have really been stepping up your KZfaq, and eventually its really gonna pay off in a big way. Keep it up

should have brought magnus as helper

She knew exactly what she was doing 😂

I know this was made for fun, but if you decide to follow up on it, you can make it more interesting / challenging with a few tweaks: 1) The "expert" should be on for a limited amount of moves, let's say around 5. Also the expert should preferably be higher rated than Alex (Levy, Eric Rosen). This would make the "lifeline" feel more impactful. Otherwise, if there's no limited time, you have 2 undesirable consequences: a) The "lifeline" is not a lifeline, because it would be called in from move 1. b) Since you play all the game with the lifeline, the other players will not matter anymore, it will turn into Lifeline vs Alex. I know this would have the downside of not having Andrea in the video (which would be a shame), so maybe you could just add her to Alex's team. Make it a 2 vs 7 ?! 2) The opponents should all be of similar rating (less than 100 rating difference between lowest and highest). In this video the 1900 guy should really have taken initiative and call the shots since he is so much better than the other 4, according to the rating. As an alternative to the point above, you could still have a wide range of ratings among the opponents, but then they should each take turns in moving. They can still consult each other to decide the move, but if there's disagreement the decision is ultimately with the guy who's turn it is to move - thus giving some semblance of agency and involvement to each player, not just the 1900 guy. Salutari, fetelor ! 🙂 PS: I barely even know the rules of chess, but I still watch you guys because you're entertaining :)

Had so much fun making this! Thank you to the entire team & all the players! Rematch? 🤔

This feels like if there was a Chess Reality show on MTV.

Andrea!!! the thumbnail 😂😂

His was very entertaining thanks! Great content! And also loved the chill atmosphere and vibe you guys put into this! Loved this a lot thanks! Keep making content like these, I’d really appreciate it!!!

This resembles a meme I know very well.

Not even 2 minutes into the video and Kai is already the best character no questions asked

11:00 What a trick was that 🤯

The story behind the thumbnail: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/araEeqdmsaibcWg.html Also I hope you all like the video, I know it’s different than our usual stuff but I wanted to explore creatively :)

This is really dope content. Poor Andrea with her already raspy (but cute) voice lol. Loved this video. You should definitely do these more and increase the opponent players each time that would be sick. Awesome video

this wasnt fair cuz they got to take their headphones off half way but andrea stayed the entire time

No one said what Alex would do if Alex lost - I guess that's not even a hypothetical scenario lol

30 minutes is kind of quick for a game where five players are collaborating

This is such a good video concept. I'm loving it.

The guy with the glasses is distracted 😂

1:30 what teeasing 🙂❤

Being new to Chess, i find some instructional videos to be boring. I'm glad you guys post fun content which you can learn from as well. Also that's an awesome Botez chessboard I want one!

This was well produced good job it looks very professional

The thumbnail: Andrea: alright... *HEAR ME OUT*

why does this feel like an episode of Room Raiders

Honestly, props to the 1480 for seeing that that was a drawn endgame as quickly as he did.

This video was really fun. You guys make the best chess content :D

The black shirts had me dead. Yall know what yall doing.

Thought she was playing 5 boards. 5 on 1 board is a disadvantage for the 5 players.

That was so much fun; I hope you do more of this type of video. Absolutely love your challenges.

Andrea was literally being the devil's advocate with the "advice" lol

alex couldve mated, gotten a queen, or gotten a bishop if she had just moved queen to f7 at 11:49

Probably the most unhinged thumbnail I’ve seen in a while

The corndog was right: the thumbnail was great marketing

This is like a proper production. For a channel with

So funny when Andrea walked in as their chess expert and they all go "NOOOOO".

they got us in the first half

What a great video, really enjoyable to watch. Well done.

Alternate Title: 5 guys play with my positions and brought in my sister to help (They ended up wearing animal cosplay)

The five players should have forked the king and the queen

This thumbnail is legendary. Botez sisters are so good for this game

This was really cool. I hope this is a series. For the expert, why wouldn't you call it immediately, since she helped for the rest of the match?

lol the intros make them all feel so shady esp kai LMAO

The thumbnail said something else 🤣🤣

The true winner was Alex for surviving Andrea

I thought Gotham Chess is the only who can comeup with great thumbnail Ideas

bro i love when andrea came and said whats up bitches

My experience playing chess on the street in Bangkok, shows a master can play as many people as want to get on the other side, however, I was only able to hold them to a stalemate every time.

If there was a Japanese version of this, I know how it would end.

great to see you literally elevating the levels of your content
