Andrea, the younger, is barely out of high school but has proven to be on the intellectual level of her sister when it comes to her Chess IQ despite not having any competitive experience yet.  The Botez sisters fully took advantage of the surge in interest for Chess with their channel ballooning to nearly 1 million followers to date.
