‘Chess isn’t my thing anymore’: Botez sister dejected after string of losses in women’s invitational

The Botez Chess Camp invitational tournament is in full swing, featuring a selection of talented female chess players across a wide skill range in a single competition—and the younger Botez’s sister’s struggles led to an interesting outburst.

The Botez Chess Camp is a FIDE-rated single round-robin tournament organized by notable streamers Andrea and Alexandra Botez, pitting prominent female players and creators against one another, including the Botez sisters themselves. It’s a notable attempt to blend content and competition together in a more serious way than often happens in the chess space, bringing along three WGM (woman grandmaster) and two WFM (woman FIDE Master) title holders along for the ride in total, with a rating spread from 1818 to 2274.
