Botez sisters slam GM Hikaru for claiming they\u2019ll \u201cnever win anything\u201d in chess Instagram\/missbotezAlexandra and Andrea Botez are putting GM Hikaru Nakamura on blast after he claimed they would never win anything when it comes to chess following GothamChess\u2019s victory at the Streamer Awards. Levy \u2018GothamChess\u2019 Rozman emerged victorious at QTCinderella\u2019s Streamer Awards show, taking home the best chess streamer crown against Hikaru and the Botez sisters. Following the win, Hikaru revealed he wasn\u2019t sad about not winning. During a Twitch steam, he explained, \u201cYou look at Levy, you look at Botez, or people of that sort, they\u2019re never going to win anything when it comes to chess.\u201d However, the Botez sisters are not taking Hikaru\u2019s remarks lying down, and have responded to the chess grandmaster with some digs of their own. Alexandra & Andrea Botez take aim at Hikaru\u2019s chess diss In response to Hikaru\u2019s comments, Alexandra Botez uploaded a video from the former TSM streamer\u2019s broadcast and edited together the wins both she and GothamChess had at the Streamer Awards. Notably, both the Botez sisters and GothamChess were able to defeat Hikaru in 2022 and 2023 respectively. \u201cIs Hikaru going to unfollow me on Twitter again?\u201d asked Alexandra, referencing her past feuds with the chess pro. Andrea also shot back, quote tweeting her sister with the caption, \u201cExcuse me I was Canadian National Champion!\u201d Although Andrea\u2019s championship was for girls under 8, the point definitely still stands that the streamers had made a name for themselves in the chess world. So far, neither GothamChess or Hikaru have responded to these comebacks, but it seems like there would potentially be another chess feud brewing between the superstar streamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
