[@AN-cy7xm]

I still say you're one of the best post-game analysts out there. Clear, interesting and fun.

[@PabloLopezDuque]

I feel that I really learn stuff on this channel.

[@oscresson]

Loved the moment at 7:59...her opponent freezes and the spectator grins!

[@rhys0564]

He seen it and was so happy that she saw it too!

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

The MASSIVE grin then slight nod. He knew it was there and loved that she saw such a crazy move.

[@wiesorix]

"Good luck dealing with that little boy!"

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

I LOVE watching PIA's reactions to your moves. A note to your editor to include them in future recaps of the tournament if possible! Anna showing no mercy on the poor kids 💀💪

[@magicomerv]

That would be AMAZING

[@biscottone3373]

100% would love to have more pia reactions included

[@CaptainCrunch-1]

Anna the merciless 😂. She doesn’t just want to beat her opponent with a couple of extra pawns in the end game, she wants to crush them. Love it

[@NaP608]

8:00 The guy in blue shirt was so happy to see that move.

[@_JeffJeff_]

I recently got 2 brilliant moves in a row. That was before I blundered and lost the next 6 games

[@frankiek2269]

Lol. I know. I just watched her lose live. So I was wondering if this video was two brilliant moves by her opponent.

[@ShadowZx22]

​​@@frankiek2269I mean it's a 90 mins game so she had all the time to calculate, I'm actually surprised that this kid made a bunch of mistakes having so much time to use.

[@honey-jo6ru]

facts 🥲

[@PabloLopezDuque]

Jeez bro, how about if you try to be a little supportive with this wonderful documentary she is making. I hope your Elo and channels grow Anna!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Muy Bien!! 💯

[@elasmojones]

this guy...

[@alwysrite]

Anna, please say to yourself "Anna, you need to sleep at least 5 hour good sleep before a game"

[@FirephoenixX02]

More like 7

[@thomasdalton1508]

Given how sleep deprived she already is, I hope she gets about ten hours tonight...

[@booshwilson8814]

We definitely use hungry to mean motivated some times. Not weird at all

[@PabloLopezDuque]

Eager as well

[@dsatorius7810]

Hi, Anna! My 10 year old daughter loves watching your tournament videos! We watch all of your tournament videos as a family. Thank you for making these wonderful videos!

[@executivelifehacks6747]

The most cherished brilliant moves are intentionally brilliant ones

[@fortyofforty5257]

That was a really sharp game. Very enjoyable to watch, and to listen to Anna's analysis and thoughts for each move. Those tactical games are the best!

[@geoffmckenzie2608]

Anna, I can't wait to see you cross the 1M subs mark! Continued success!

[@tobycatVA]

Your Mom is terrific at being a commentator with lightning-fast multi-prong predictive analysis. 🎙💯 GM Pia's immense pride and excitement in watching you play makes the coverage such a pleasure to watch. 🤎🤎🤎 Good luck, and sleep at night so you don't at the board, but mostly have FUN! 🐮♟🏆

[@aj-jc4cv]

Good game. You trusted your intuition, and that helped with time management.

[@bryceb3194]

Brilliant Game, Anna! Congrats! Love & appreciate the effort you put into these recaps! Good luck on the next one!

[@u9Nails]

Wishing you lots of good luck! The way you describe chess is wonderful! The simple way that you can describe complex strategies is masterful.

[@psicologofeliperomero5214]

About your round 3 (the second game you played today)... Anna, se que te sientes comprometida con tu audiencia para hacer los streamings y recaps, pero cuando estás en estos torneos tu prioridad debería ser estar lo mejor preparada posible antes de sentarte frente al tablero. Si tener que instalar los equipos y resolver problemas técnicos te conlleva restarte horas de sueño por tener que levantarte más temprano, deberías desentenderte de eso o delegarlo completamente a alguien más. O al menos en jornadas como la de hoy, dónde partías jugando tan temprano en la mañana Si, nos gusta ver tus partidas, pero queremos aún más que logres tus metas en el ajedrez y para ello es fundamental que estés descansada, bien desayunada y sin el estrés previo que te puede dar el tener todo listo para streamear. Solo una sugerencia bien intencionada =)

[@deevnn]

Take care of yourself to play at your best and let us the audience take our chances. We can always watch later.

[@1973TJM]

I really enjoy your videos, Ms Cramling.

[@ChrisM541]

Brilliant game, well done Anna! Good luck!

[@BenCD30207]

Thanks for opening up your tournament experience to us. It’s a lot of fun!

[@gregsaiter3768]

Great Job Anna. Love the analysis and following your thought pattern.

[@jrgenervik9977]

Love the recap videos. Hope you get enough rest between matches. And good luck going forward :)

[@paulfaure6210]

Hello Anna. Solid game, inspired choices. You punished a very poor black defensive preparation. 👍 Good Luck for the next. 😃

[@erict2899]

Incredible content, I always learn so much

[@Frank-bn9us]

I understand that you as a streamer it is very important to create this postgame content. I hope it didnt take so much time to create that it cut into your time to rest. Please take care of yourself, and get the rest you need to keep your mind sharp for the future upcoming games. Im cheering for you!

[@trlavalley9909]

The spirit of Tal is smiling on our Anna, Gz on a great game, and Good Luck in R5.

[@kingchez11.]

Nicely done 👍

[@daveyingram8934]

she's really humble. Good luck in your next game.

[@Hahahahaaahaahaa]

The boy has the benefit of youthful energy and a general lack of ennui. He has the penalty of playing against an adult woman at the peak of hormone development. A real zugzwang.

[@vaughnnelson4608]

Love your energy and enthusiam. It's contagious. I like using the "checkmate" thinking in other areas of life. Requires lots of thinking but fun "checkmate winning" result. Problems defeated!

[@aonutsihasnouith]

Not usually a guy who does your mom comments, but your mom did a great commentary on your game. It was really great content to see the commentary while the tournament was live. I appreciated the way she went deep into alternative lines while you were thinking and it made her analysis very accessible. She was so happy when you played the best moves. It would help me understand more if you could show the game board in one spot and the analysis Pia was doing on another spot The only part of the experience I didn’t love was the live comments. It few bad apples were unkind to the kid because he was getting up a lot and having a Mountain Dew. Maybe we can expand the rules for live comments to not make comments it would hurt the kid to read later. All the jokes about some random kid peeing a lot. Like it’s a random normal smart kid and an early first exposure to a big audience, the comments is half bad jokes about how much he pees and semi racist stuff about Mountain Dew being a delicacy to him. Felt like bullying. If I was playing some chess celebrity in another country as a kid like that and later rewatched the live stream I’d be a bit traumatized. Don’t people remember what it feels like to be a kid? It was only a couple people making the comments but maybe the moderator could do away with that next time? It’s unkind to the kid and it’s just a couple idiots dragging it down for everyone else. I know there was active moderation pulling down even worse stuff but it should be a bit more aggressive when it’s a kid.

[@garyfelton6700]

I think you are one of the best teachers because you explain options in your thinking. Thank you. ❤

[@telliott53]

❤loved the game! Anna- and the last one.

[@alastor2262]

Bravo ! Belle victoire passionnante.

[@Kubooxooki]

What a beautiful game! Congrats on this win 🎉

[@drziggyabdelmalak1439]

Wow...action-packed game, Anna! Congrats!

[@pglover64]

Yeah, great game Anna! So proud to see you stay on top of your time! 😁

[@elizabeth4689]

Incredible, I didn’t see that knight sac at all lol. Congrats Anna!😊

[@BooBaddyBig]

Well, you say that "There's no one scarier than a little kid to play...". but never has a "Your mom" joke been so wholesome and accurate.

[@user-fe9bd7ec2r]

Good luck , and thank you for the insites

[@biscottone3373]

would love to have more pia reactions included. Great job guys by the way. My favorite chess content

[@JamesMiller-lb3sk]

Good luck for the rest of the tournament

[@NotTheUnsub]

Great video Anna! "Kids are terrifying in chess." True, yet the sentence is funny to hear each time.

[@stanleymyrick4068]

I always remember that scene in Laura Croft where she knocks on the geeks trailer outside the mansion to get up... the sun hasn't risen yet and he leaned out his door and said "whats that smell?" The reply was 'That's morning' .

[@MarvashMagalli]

this was very fun to follow live!

[@delturge]

Good. You can do it. Good luck in the upcoming rounds.

[@Timberius]

You were brilliant! 😊

[@polliven]

Brilliant. Congratulations.

[@crashcrew673]

me encantó el sacrificio de caballo Anna enhorabuena y sigue disfrutando del ajedrez

Good job! Good luck!!!!

Great game! Great content!

[@heatherwalton9501]

I don't even play or understand chess but l enjoy these videos. You are so engaging and passionate about the game.

[@almightyhydra]

Nice game Anna, good luck for the next!

[@Orion-zq8jf]

Wow, nice finds! keep it up!

[@shawnhorton2000]

That’s a damn good accuracy

[@miss_alaa]

You played like your father in this game , like the aggressive chess , I really love this

[@rolfwelsch8570]

gut gemacht Anna!

Great job!!!

Wow, what an exciting game!

0:00 This is brilliant 🌞

[@ussxrequin]

Great job to you and your opponent (:

[@arthurbraden4102]

It really was SOOOOOO nice Anna!!! I would have been very proud to have played a game like this!! Thank You for sharing your thoughts and exuberance here! :)

[@hristiyanavalkova6665]

Good luck Anna!

[@claudiogiordani89]

Very nice sweater!!! Love it so much 😊

[@jasperr_97]

The thing you said about being annoying is so true, i get frustrated when my opponent plays a toxic playstyle

[@pauljmn9135]

great explainer

[@TheWannaramble]

Anna - super good at explaining everything

[@jasonpeart1410]

A Double Brilliant!! must be Genius!!!!

[@bruceatwood1498]

May success follow you every step of the way as you proceed in round three of this tournament!

[@andraslibal]

4:12 please don't tell me you stopped to think half an hour on that move. Phew :)))) 5:53 googling Swedish sour candy - looks yummy Conclusion: maybe three croissants and a large coffee is the right way.

[@gutbeta1]

That knight was great!

[@albertsitjestorra9388]

Good job Anna!

[@billm2484]

Fascinating.

[@gamer-px5cu]

That thumbnail is wild.

[@nanifmf]

Mucha suerte!

[@simply4est]

Great moves!

[@MrBisque]

Yikes! Grindavek Volcanic Opening just to the south. Nature getting in on the event.

[@23879988]

Well done you 🙂

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I pretty much thought you would play Ng6 since when the smoke clears your Queen will have direct access to a discovered check

[@marleybone6615]

Your chess is excellent!

[@wynoglia]

Hella excited for this journey Edit: 3 croissants for bfast is mood

[@geoattoronto]

Can you put a couple of pats of butter in your coffee and blend 20 seconds. That produces structured water which revives energy.

[@Judep4237]

7:47 If it’s not completely crushing your opponent it’s not the move 😂

[@mattwho42]

I was there when this thumbnail was taken!

[@nicolaspeters2555]

Win or lose, you will do well. We love your videos and are learning a lot. We now have an automatic self-moving chess board in our house because of you. Thanks 🙂

[@d_dave7200]

Love you Anna, but 3 hours?!? I suppose I'd party with the Botez sisters too if I were in your place, but maybe pick a day without a 9am start :p

[@christodeysel894]

Good luck Anna, win another one!

[@danielwong2767]

Watch out for the volcanic flares. Take care!

[@JohnnyGallant]

I admire you very much Anna. ❤

[@Touplopl]

Im 400 Elo and I once had 2 brilliant moves in a row 😁 i sacked my knight and when the pawn took it opened up a battery ( my bishop and rook" so I sacked my bishop and when the king took (it was check and king was forced to take) I had a free queen hanging

[@faruksarihan]

07:59 the guy in the background is, the STOCKFISH? He literally indicated the brilliant move.

[@StephenRichmond89]

Children and Swedes, both very scary. *nods wisely* Although, that said, when I was in uni my gf was Swedish and she told me all Swedes were delightful because all the terrible ones had gone off to become Vikings in Yorkshire (which is where my family is from) and that’s why English people were terrible. She also introduced me to semla.

[@jdub4k]

those first 2 seconds 😍😍😍

[@UncleWally3]

My brilliant moves usually occur by accident; doesn’t stop me from pretending they’re by choice.

[@albert-kowalski]

Although it's a great post-match commentary, it's still a little short of perfection. I miss small insights from the overall tournament atmosphere and how it affected your mood. From what the weather is like at your place to with who you were able to exchange a few sentences behind the scenes and how the results of your opponents from the previous round affected your feelings. It would also be helpful to have an opinion on the organization of the tournament, Iceland itself and what you hope for in the next round. If you don't mention it in the next comment I won't be particularly worried either, because after all it's extra work for you. However, posting such information can be useful.

[@otisskopik1400]

what a poor little guy. look at his face after the loss

[@Tre_SlimeLilDude]

5:47 i think they already heard you

[@kronikels1]

Good luck tomorrow!
