[@julesexplores]

Thank you @annacramling for playing me! I didn’t say it but you are one of my favourite chess players. I hope to have a rematch some day soon!

[@fivetimesyo]

You're a savage, Jules. Congratulations on a superb game.

[@ThePokemontrainer88]

Mhm probably parents made him write this, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

[@S.Trades]

You're a cool kid, Jules! You'll do well!

[@markb6158]

@@ThePokemontrainer88no one cares about your “benefit of the doubt” and you’re incredibly rude as well. Learn some decorum.

[@ricksmith9088]

I think you will be a future grand master kiddo. Nice job.

[@whodeeni]

That kid would absolutely crush me

[@elwhagen]

Most likely crushing a vast majority of players out there to be fair. Really fun to see such young kids playing this good.

[@UKSkateboarding]

@@elwhagen real talk! the kid is fire right now! give him ten years!!!!

[@mollybolton8425]

Well actually it did look he had a crush on Anna

Him helping her set up her pieces was very cute. Hope to see this kid as a top player in the future.

[@factChecker01]

When I was 8, I was running around in a Zorro costume.

[@michaelbauers8800]

To be honest, that might be more fun than chess at 8 years old :)

[@thomasneal7126]

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time!😂 Some of us just know our place don't we.

Same but its three sword styles for me. Zoro style.

[@RunplaysinHD]

Anna at her 50s: "I beat the current world champion once. He was a little shorter back then"

[@brettgoldsmith9971]

Its crazy how he can do so well in complicated positiins, and his downfall was a simple mistake. Thats easy to fix though! He's going places!

[@riahreginald]

In the chess beginners perspective Can you tell me what the mistake was and what should he have played instead. Please and thank you in advance

[@Evilyoo]

on the far left of the grafical chessboard there is a black and white bar where you can see whos in the lead. It went to the bottom when he placed the rook by the king= big misstake

[@Evilyoo]

at 8:38

[@paulkamyszek]

Well it's allowing a position where a tactical trick, the pin is possible on the rook and the king winning the rook and also the game @@riahreginald

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

Number 1st ! Wash those sticky pieces(& pawns). After that; I dunno.@@riahreginald

[@debrascott8775]

I love that you played him with respect from the handshake. So much fun to watch.

[@batlrar]

It might sound bad, but I'm really glad Anna didn't hold back against him - he definitely was up for the challenge and has probably flattened loads of unsuspecting opponents in the past, and this will teach him that he still has some learning to do and hopefully will motivate him to see that others still have a lot they can teach him! It really seemed like this game was going to be a draw at a couple of points, so he really held his ground and the smallest slip up could have led to his victory!

[@arthurpewtey]

Indeed - I was a fair player in my late-teens, but once got slaughtered in a tournament by a kid who can't have been more than 8 or 9, despite having been warned by a pal (who'd also been slaughtered by him) that he was seriously good. I often wonder what became of him, especially when I see kids like the one Anna beat here.

[@thegameplayer125]

gotta love a kid with confidence in what he's doing

[@TurbineFlyer]

Anna, your videos were the first chess videos I ever watched a couple months ago. You got me in the chess and I just wanted to give you a small thanks. Keep being a good example for the game!

[@bacca71]

That kid mature way beyond his years! Quiet confidence.

[@kids123123123]

One blunder in the endgame, otherwise the little mofo would've cleaned your clock. Dang.

[@PR-fk5yb]

Years ago I played a female chess player. 8 years old she was of Chinese descent. About 12 moves in the game she thinks for about a minute. After that every moves she made was instantaneous. She had the whole game figured out in a minute at the 12th move. Impressive. She is now an international chess grand master. Ty Maïli-Jade Ouellet.

[@craigkdillon]

At 8 years old, I played chess with the Knight and Bishop pieces reversed on the board. This kid is amazing.

[@themasterzman1172]

Well can't say he didn't make you work for it. 🤝 GG

[@madquest8]

It must have been refreshing to play someone who didn't try to hit on you.

[@Mtl-zf9om]

He did when he answered her question by Anna is my favorite chess player. *silently in his mind ofc*

[@implodingllama2092]

@@Mtl-zf9omfunny thing is he commented that on this video lol

[@cobra7282]

It would be a major test of constraint to not hit on Anna, to be fair.

[@henrikstenlund5385]

I love your extreme positivity and friendliness towards other players.

[@BrianBull]

He totally had you until the one miscalculation. Great game

[@fh2234]

Yeah but thats also how you lose at chess 😂

[@FoxxyMoxxy13]

Maybe it’s just me but the last couple of seconds where you are admiring his innocents and talent is the cutest 💚

[@dowaliby1]

The kid played very well, as did Anna. One mistake decided the game, as so often happens. He definitely showed his graciousness with his comment on here. And Anna was adorable and classy as always. They both have very bright futures in chess.

[@brucecrane9605]

Not the last time we're going to see that young man at the board. Loved watching. Chess Princess

[@jamesnotsmith1465]

Anna, I've never seen you so quiet.

[@Mr12Relic]

She doesn't want to distract him, and he's up on time. Some players are all about the banter; this kid isn't. Brief replies without reciprocation. A wall does not a conversation make.

[@martatorrentalegre]

Aw wholesome vid! Thanks for the great content Anna❤😊

[@Karina-er7mx]

He’s amazing. I love how he tilts his little head when he’s thinking his next move 🥰

[@tnsharpshooter8517]

The young lad is sharp. No doubt. I enjoyed watching this video very much.

[@user-rw9bt1hm9k]

Anna, you are most impressive when playing children. You are such an unassuming and humble master. What a good spirit you have!

[@FlokiPoki-we9gm]

Better beat him now.... cuz in a couple years, he may be unstopable.

[@lindafoxwood78]

WOW. You play so good. The last minute of your time you made so many moves it was crazy.

[@doomboydoomable]

wow, no disrepect to anna and ty for posting, but the 8 year old was just amazing

[@UnaBellissima]

This kid is going places! Good game!

[@xavierpierre1676]

Anna your so good with children you will be a great mother one day!

[@chessguru900]

He held on really well till near the end where he blundered positionally which cost him the rook and the game.

Felicito a la chica, muy humana ella, porque todo el tiempo le preocupo mas el niño que su partida, felicidades a ambos😊

[@JohnSmith-ug5ci]

He needs to learn not to let people like her distract him with small talk while the game is in progress. She uses small talk, especially in the beginning, to distract her opponent.

[@ihcfn]

That kid would destroy me!

[@robertcarveth8722]

Stunning game, Jules_ pity you had to rush off to another game!

[@SchumanD1]

I ❤ Anna, I don’t play chess, never found many people who would. Anna keep doing what you’re doing ❤️

[@S.Trades]

He's 8 and he's putting (very experienced) Anna, under pressure! Respect!

[@mick1937]

I doubt she saw him move back and forth with the runner several times in the game. He followed a certain strategy to checkmate her and it didn't work because he lost his important pieces.

[@thomasdalton1508]

​@@mick1937FYI, in English we call it a bishop, not a runner. There was nothing wrong with any of his bishop moves according to the eval bar. The game was pretty even until he made a mistake with his king allowing the rook to be captured.

[@mick1937]

@@thomasdalton1508 she moves the king and he can only move the bishop back and forth in a very limited pattern, because he lost many important attack pieces in the beginning. So if he's made a mistake, which I didn't say before it was, it's at the beginning of the game.

[@thomasdalton1508]

@@mick1937 There is an eval bar on the screen, so you can see where the mistakes are. It's pretty even until very near the end.
