Roberto Molina vs Lawrence Trent | I'm Not a GM Speed Chess Championship

They thrive in their respective elements and Roberto, when all was said and done, looked like he barely ate this one and was a deserved champion, so I wouldn't be surprised, regardless of who won this match and now that Roberto has one ask him what he thinks. about the remaining competition after what we saw today against a certain

lawrence

trent

. yeah I'm not going to call him a favorite but I also don't see why anyone would be favored over him yeah that's a That's a great point as he moves up the bracket and we'll see who he goes up against.

There are many more of these games to come. We've already highlighted and previewed some of them, but I think it's an exciting match today. You called this game and you were right that this was one of the hardest to guess who was going to be the winner because we know that Lawrence can come in and not be playing his best and maybe it's a white clock, but When Lawrence is focused and he was today, he said he prepares more for this than his normal GM tournament. And I love watching Lawrence when he's so motivated playing that kind of

chess

, so I thought Lawrence is showing in this whole tournament his game. against Danny and this is something to be absolutely proud of and for Roberto, you know, in the post-match interview, he was essentially very casual about it, you know, I'm studying, I'm preparing, I'm always working on my chest I'm broadcasting now, which is great to hear and I hope he continues his success because that level of play that we saw today, I know it sounds like we've mentioned it a lot, but it's true, it impressed me a lot. how sharp both players were at the beginning of the game or match, i should say

roberto

was finding these pins out of nowhere and just being tactically alert and

lawrence

was coming up with a move out of nowhere coming up with blistering attacks in that game with queen d7. knight f4 queen h3 where Roberto ended up losing in time, so both players showed their strengths.

I think mistakes, as you mentioned many times, happen, we expect that to happen, but I was really excited to see both players compete so fiercely, yeah, and this. Do you know that will be it for us? Wrapping things up here, I guess the match ended 12 to nine overall, so Roberto Molina will move on to the next round and, when those matches happen, you know, Robert and I or another commentary team will be here to guide you through the complicated calculations and bringing you all the action, but Robert, it was a pleasure, a pleasure, as always, today, uh, this was probably one of the most exciting games of

chess

I've ever had.

It is a pleasure to comment. Yes, and I can't think of anyone else. I'd rather sit back in my chair when some of these shocking things happen, but I'm serious. It was a great time, the players treated us so it made our lives easy and thanks of course to all the fans who continue to tune in, watch these players and support them, we can feel their energy so we really appreciate it, yes, take care guys, there will be many more of these matches in the future, so make sure you stay tuned and of course there are all the regular chess.com events coming up, as well as the regular calendar events, on Tuesday in Arena Kings so there's a lot of chess stuff happening guys stay tuned and that's all for us for now.
