Super GM Said My Opponent Was A Chess GENIUS

This is the recap of my chess game from round 7 in the Rilton tournament played in Stockholm, Sweden. My opponent played a BRILLIANT queen sacrifice and GM Jon Ludvig Hammer (peak 2705) called him a chess genius. Drop a like and let me know in the comments if you liked the game :)

Anna, you're killing me with your uncanny ability to get in time trouble. It's like you have this superpower to stress out all your fans.

call it thourough calculating. if she spent less time she might miss something. In the end she had time to finish and check mate so I'd say it was time well spent 😛

Beautiful match

[@chrissicaras7339]

It was a great game -- very exciting. But I disagree with JL Hammer. The move Q e2 is a standard tactic when the back rank is weak since white's rook on e1 is in forced to stay on the first rank to defend against mate. Congratulations Anna for finding a defense in difficult and scary circumstances!

Anna, what a comeback from the graveyard! Kudos to your opponent for finding that amazing Queen sacrifice -- seems sad that he missed the correct followup -- but also kudos to you for fighting back successfully when he couldn't finish the job. I must remember -- bishops can move backward, too! 🙂 I'm very much enjoying your commentary, bringing out your concerns. Five out of seven is terrific -- what a fine tournament you are having. Good luck in the last two rounds. God bless.

Well done to your opponent! It must have been difficult for him to play under the spotlight and he played really well and was completely charming at the end. A real gentleman. Great game, thanks both.

[@JimBalter]

What spotlight? Anna isn't anything special and he probably doesn't know that she blogs her games. And he didn't play really well .. he was losing until she blundered, and then his Qxf1 was a patzer's move -- if you're going to give up a queen for a rook you had better be sure it works.

[@scottski51]

Gad zooks!! What a crazy game! Apparently... sadly... in tournament play, the clock can take such good early chess and turn it into mush when players have to hurry. Very entertaining video, Anna!! Esp. love hearing, from a expert level player, the words... "I was afraid..." as that enters my lexicon about the 5th move of every game! Along with "oh, Crap... that was really stupid !!!" (Or, with a nod to Mr. Rosen... "Oh, NO! My Queen!"

[@DawiiiDD]

Great game and great sportsmanship at the end wow

[@jy8711cr7]

chess tournament while uploading everyday. impressive

[@davidholland4713]

So not only stress causes blunders, but playing a great queen sac can cause you to get overconfident and blunder. Chess is such a rollercoaster of emotions. Obviously, players want to stay calm and calculate precisely but that is hard to do under the psychological impacts of unexpected moves. And figuring out the best move order, such as when to pause your attack to play h3, is similarly psychologically difficult. But the more Anna is in these conditions, the more resilient she will become. Her play is of such a high standard, even under time pressure.
