Alex Botez, or Alexandra Botez, is a Canadian-American chess player, streamer, and commentator who is a key figure in bringing the game of chess into the mainstream through the internet. She was born on September 24, 1995, in Dallas, Texas, but grew up in Canada, where her love for chess began. Even at an early age, she proved to be a strong competitor by winning the Canadian National Girls Championship five times. Afterwards, she joined Stanford University, where she was able to pursue her academic goals and her love for chess at a competitive level.
However, her rise to fame was due to competitive chess Twitch and YouTube streams she made with her sister Andrea Botez. Together, they created one of the most viewed chess channels on the platform, BotezLive.
This allows her to be on the same stage as the two best-known chess personalities on the internet. One of the things that Alex separates her from the competition is the ability to explain the strategies behind the game effortlessly. In addition to that, she adds humour and entertaining storytelling. This mix of qualities and skills elevates her above other streamers.
Alex has been involved in many projects revolving around chess that aren’t content-related, like providing commentary for big events or working with elite grandmasters.
