I thought that was interesting. I don't think they've played in an official tournament against each other yet.  They might have but it didn't show up on chessgames.com.

That's gonna be some great content for their channel.  Jon Hammer & Dina Belenkaya have been doing live commentary for their games this event, which I think is very good for chess.  Anna Cramlings mom, Pia Cramling, has been doing live commentary for her tournaments recently.  More should do that, I think it'll bring more of the public into watching chess events.

I'll charge my earbuds so I can listen to the live commentary during work tomorrow.

It'll be fun listening to Jon & Dina trying to be impartial while they play because they're all friends. I think he's been coaching them.

For once Hammer will have to pay a modicum of attention to Alexandra's game instead of only paying attention to Andrea's.

Here's the live game with commentary.

Alex won, but Andrea is still cuter.

Andrea just went all kamikaze on Alex. She sacked a knight very early thinking she had an attack when her position didn't warrant it.

Premature attackulation.

I just noticed that right before their game started they were both messing with what looked like their cell phones. Aren't phones supposed to not be in the playing area or turned off? Maybe it's ok before the game starts.

Dina's "beautiful Ferrari" simile was hilarious.

Pia Cramling, Anna Cramling’s mom, makes chess commentary exciting. Everyone should watch it.

I've watched Pia comment live on a few games. She gets so into it.
