Meet the world’s most beautiful chess player
Alexandra Botez will check mate your heart.



She also has more than 6 years of chess coaching experience and is the former Chess Club president of Stanford University.

Currently, Botez is taking a break from playing chess to focus on completing her studies at Stamford.

“My goal remains to increase public interest in chess, as well as to promote chess as an educational tool. I remain active as a lecturer and private coach,” she wrote on her Facebook page.

With nearly 20,000 Facebook likes, countless Reddit threads and web articles of admiration, does this make Botez the first chess superstar of the social media age?

She’s proof if it were ever needed, that brains and beauty are still a powerful combination.

Any noobie tips on mid game - end game? Lagi ako talo when it comes to pawn/king moves.

1.Solve tactics problems to improve your tactical skills and lessen blunders
2. Open with 1.d4 or 1.e4. Answer 1.d4 with d5. Answer 1.e4 with e5.
3. Always look at the whole board and study your opponent's last move
4. Try to watch King Crusher's youtube videos. They will help you improve your middle game.
5. Search at youtube for endgame positions like king and rook against lone king mate and opposition endgames.

You can try solving puzzles at chesstempo.com

Mga videos ni MatoJelic ay instructive din. I suggest, after mo panuorin video ni king crusher sa link na binigay ko sa baba, puro videos ni MatoJelic muna panuorin mo.

@siore. actually hindi ko napapanuod iyung whole video. tingnan ko mamaya iyung handicap game na nasabi mo.  partida pa iyan may kausap siya at umiinom. may mga players na nawawala ang focus kung may distraction. hehe. magnus is really a god of chess. hehe.

try mo din iyung bago na app ng chess.com na puzzle rush. si gm nakmura ay naka 55 solved as his best. pero siguro mere mortals na gaya nayin ay 20 solves lang.

Dikit na dikit na laban in a Ruy Lopez game. Parang trapping yung QxQ, may mga nakaabang na linya, but the World Champion won't be drawn in.

Nahilo ako sa endgame. Whew!

Ewan ko lang kung handicap talaga tawag dyan, pero basically ang opening strategy nya ay pagbaligtarin pwesto ng king and queen. Tapos dun pa lang sya mag-iisip.  :lol:
