11-Year-Old Girl Leaves Chess Master STUNNED

[@bramganapathy350]

11 year old played beyond her rating and very solid against experienced player. Very heart-warming video

the fact that kids can play against adults is one of the best aspects of chess. my 7 year old son played and best an 83 year old in a 2.5 hr classical game recently. my lad was the 2nd 7 year old to play that man in a row. he was so nice to all the juniors

[@Eccinjeju]

Whenever I play someone rated less, or younger than me and unrated, I play left-handed to give an advantage.

Yeah, when I was 14 I got to play William Lombardy (Bobby Fischer's second) at the Manhattan Chess Club. It was a great thrill, but I remember his pieces kept advancing like a steamroller, or a slow-motion avalanche. It was all over in around 30 moves.

When she made her mistake you were gracious to allow her to take back the move, and rethink her position. Thank You for being this way, and thank You for sharing this video, I enjoyed it.

Love your kindness towards your opponents in literally every of your videos, it is very heartwarming ❤️

[@Tenseiken_]

Dude what? There's no way she'll be 1500 for long. I'm not some chess expert but the way she had her principles down and kind of observing her thought process, especially with the bishop take was pretty impressive. And she's ELEVEN, ffs. I hope chess is a passion of hers and she'll continue to grow, because this one right there is probably a very high rated player in the making. I can't wait to see her like 10 years from now.

She'll probably meet a boy and forget all about chess. Chess doesn't pay the bills.

[@LG-jn5fx]

Fantastic sportsmanship by you there Anna. The young lady played well and would most likely wipe the floor with me. I think Rapid is the best form of chess. Allows a little thinking time without being rediculous like classic and does not lead to stupid end games where each player is trying to win by time out that almost always happens in Blitz.

[@elizabethpetrie3066]

Ur r very nice to let her correct her mistake!

[@trex9263]

Hi, Anna. I really love this narration format you've been using. It helps me follow and understand the game better. That young lady gave you a run for the money. It seemed to me that guy with the purple button down shirt seemed to like you. He kept looking over at you with the biggest smile on his face. BTW, yes.
