[@baconian_road_construction]

I like how she waited a few seconds before checkmating to give her opponent one last bit of false hope that she left

[@thenewacc9535]

Yeah but the opponent was really annoying. She sacrificed a queen but her time too. :(

[@angelofjustice9428]

@@thenewacc9535 Yeah and then she said to resign or quit when you are losing. And she didn't resign when she was.

[@friedsushii_]

​@@angelofjustice9428I think you didn't understand the point. she literally had mate in one and her opponent knew, so instead of playing the only legal move or resigning he decided to wait for 5 minutes which can actually get you banned. anna has never done sth like that and would never do so your comment just doesn't make sense?¿?

[@Miesko1]

@@friedsushii_ *on camera, everybody gets tilted sometimes but yeah its bad

[@friedsushii_]

@@Miesko1 i dont understand what you mean? this person, if I understood it right, said how ironic it was that anna said at the end of the video, that you should resign if you are losing (and ofc she meant losing in a sense like her opponent was, 1 mive before mate, and how it is not okay to stall the clock for five minutes) and that at the same time, when she was losing in the game, she didn't resign. but this person didn't understand the point. anna was never lost in the same way, she had still hope (an attack, and i mean she won the game in the end) and she never stalled the clock. so this person is stupid and your comment doesn't make sense to me.

Outstanding video--very informative to see the thought process in a 10-minute game. Maybe you can do more of these in future

[@deselectric]

Agreed! I also like some of the longer format like this :)

[@Dannil1]

Ditto, usually Anna's style is kinda conservative, solid stuff , good to see her sacrificing a few for the well placed mate.

[@rusty6813]

I hope so!

[@pygymypygymy8950]

I love Anna's positive attitude and cheery demeanor. Win, lose or draw she seems to have absolute blast every time she plays chess.

[@haeleth7218]

[@haleymartin9342]

This was a great video - I loved seeing the discussion, even though it was anxiety-provoking watching the clock tick down!

[@mustafaanas5991]

truly truly incredible video. Please do more of these aggressive game analysis.

[@ertugkaya919]

I simply cannot get how a 2300 rated can blunder their queen and king at 15:20

[@jimikimble]

Her rule is don't sacrifice unless you must. She had to. It was so spicy. I am too aggressive of a player. I fall into that same trap. She was lucky that it worked out. I'm a much worse player, but aggressive style chess is fun. I hardly have time for anything but bullet lately, so I suppose bullet lends itself to aggressive chess too.

[@JimMcGrath25]

Great win Anna! It was really helpful to learn how you think about attacking moves.

[@ixde_8594]

I love how this video is about "how to win by attacking", but anna was so much worse after she saced the bishop. The opponent simply went from -10 to, #3.

[@coliver823]

You made that look so easy!! Great video!

[@atf300t]

The attack was unprepared, and Black would have an easy path to victory after Rxf7 but made a blunder instead.

[@harriswong2137]

Biggest takeaway is that it's all it takes for the opponent to blunder from a winning position to mate in 3 with one single move! (Qd5).

[@Gitlez]

I think the "Rook sacrifice" pushed your opponent into getting tunnel vision for his checkmate and missing yours.

[@front331]

Nope. Just a blunder.

[@prakash_clt]

​@@front331yes. Re1 was a blunder.after that Rx f7 was also a blunder, here black can simply recapture the rook with a clear winning position.after Qx f7 .....be3+....kh1...qxd4. This is stockfish analysis.

[@front331]

@@prakash_clt I thought that line was leading to checkmate for white after ...Nf6+ Kh8 (Kh6 Qh5#), but then black has Bh6 if Qh5+. Pity the opponent didn't find a good line like yours with 7 minutes on the clock.

[@crashdive7254]

Enjoying your videos. Thanks for explaining the game so well.

[@janmolekula3900]

Principle 1: No matter which color you play you always have the first move and it is e5! Principle 2: Always attack everything, preferably with your queen. Principle 3: Always hit clock hard with your hand to scare your opponent a little bit. If you are down on time there is slight chance you will damage the clock and time will have to be restarted. Principle 4: If you lose anyway, start to attack your opponent verbally. You still can finish at least your opponent even if the game is already over.

I'm at the very beginning of that game (2:49) and I have to say that I LOVE 1. d4. I'm a d4-player (most times Queen's gambit) and on my last birthday I got a present from my son: A t-shirt with "d4 > e4" on it. I love it!

[@ricklanders]

Fabulous, Anna! Congrats on beating a 2300! 🥂You make it so fun and interesting. Hope you do more of these attacking videos! 😎

[@kds1539]

Your timing is always on point, cuz I began to study the QGD couple weeks ago, so really thank you Anna for your great lesson of the Marshall variation. I fully understand you, it also takes me too much time thinking about my moves, always tryna find the best one possible. See you in the next one

[@peteandtessTube]

An outstanding video once again! I am completely hooked on you and your methods. I was looking for a course offered by you but then I realize that Every Video is a lesson. I track your moves in Chess Pro and create a PGN to review. It’s your thought process I’m trying to keep in mind, not trying to memorize the moves, when I play. How you could sacrifice the Bishop to expose the King and then let the Knight take your Rook, I don’t think that was intentional but it didn’t take your mind off of your plan. Quite Amazing and Very Fun to watch. As great as these videos are, Please do come out with a lesson plan.

[@dorozu8366]

Congrats on 600k! Your smile makes it very comforting to learn chess, thanks for the content.

[@joshuahelmeke]

Now that’s what I’m talkin about! You’ve got exciting stuff on your channel. Love watching your chess games.

[@tedquaker954]

Awesome.... as always, enjoyed the video

[@tomasolsson1491]

That was a good video Anna. I did not know those principles and I have not been so successful with my attacks. I have wondered how other players could have sharp attacks on me, but I have often failed with my attacks or not tried. I have been better on defence, taking poisoned pawns and do counter attacks.

[@NotTheUnsub]

This video is very instructional and your attack, patiently waiting and describing your thinking before attacking is a beautiful thing to see. I think this is the first video I watched of yours several months back. I decided to watch again. Back then, my chess play was more defensive hoping I'd survive the middle game with an advantage so I can win an endgame. Fast forward to now and I really like adding tactical play to my game. I won one game yesterday where I sacrificed my knight, to break up my opponent's pawns that were protecting his king. Then I followed up with my queen and both bishops to lead to a checkmate. You've taught me that executing a good attack is a beautiful thing! 🙂

[@adrianmadaras]

Super tactics! Thanks!

[@sage_sause]

Thank you for the video Anna!

[@wojtus9135]

Great video @AnnaCramling . Love your tutorials. Very informative;)

[@davidanderson_surrey_bc]

I was also trying to work out (in my head) how the light-square bishop sac was going to work, but I didn't get to the part about the queen sac as well. Very nice, Anna! And yes, in hindsight, just leaving your rook in the corner would have worked as well. Nice touch leaving your own king one move away from mate. That's Adolf Anderssen chess right there.

[@michaelmemley1529]

[@goodnewseverybody739]

Very instructional, how to build an effective attack is overlooked. Shows how it comes down to calculating in the end, but good prep can make up for weak calculating.

[@Anonymityfan]

One thing I found very instructive was how you analysed Bishop takes pawn again after Bh5

[@iansimpson27]

Yes, I agree that 1.d4 can be a good option for the attacking player. In the Queen's Gambit I've had a fair amount of fun with various accepted and Slav lines where White goes for e4 and allows ...b5, and declined lines where White exchanges on d5 and castles long, and also with the Samisch King's Indian lines with an early f3 and queenside castling. I've also had a lot of fun with the Blackmar-Diemer with 2.e4 or 2.Nc3 and 3.e4, though I admit that it isn't as sound. Nice queen sac at the end!

Anna you gotta make a video on how the Cow Opening got Tyler1 from 200 elo to 1000 elo in just 2 months! It's insane, tbh! You must be super proud

[@lasshrugged]

Sacrifice everything but the last two pieces for mate! Such a beautiful attacking game.

[@beccajoyner]

Just played this out on my chess board along with the video! I think My problem is not analyzing and just going for everything I can do. Great lesson! Thanks Anna!

[@jamesb2034]

You timed the sac perfectly!! Intuition is more than a feeling, the mind is capable of determining the best course of action, even on a subconscious level. There have been a number of studies and experiments that have shown this to be true! In the video you just did playing Nils, he said there are times he goes on the attack simply believing the checkmate must be there, even though he doesn't actually see it! Bottom line, awesome mate!!

[@jamesb2034]

I saw this in a program called "Through the wormhole with Morgan Freeman". It was produced by the Science channel. In the program they showed how during a military conflict, the officer was able to identify whether a fighter jet was friendly, or an enemy fighter. He was viewing radar, and although there was conflicting evidence, he was able to make the correct assessment. I believe it was as a result of the repetition of his training, which I think is what happens in chess as well. Players at your level have seen so many games and positions, and a lot of that info is retained by our brains, and that might be the basis of the ability to "intuit". Does this make sense?

[@lasyx9786]

She said she sacrificed to early. On move 17 Black could have played Nd5 or g6 to defend and would have been a bishop up.

[@thedude2601]

I'm totally lost but I think I'm learning. Fun to watch, thanks!

Sacrificing a piece to advantage works well. More of this type please Anna. 😊☺

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Entertaining game, but StockFish really doesn’t like the bishop takes h7, score -5.3, then your opponent made a huge blunder in not taking your rook on f7, at which point the score would be -15.5 ! 😱

[@timvanderes727]

great instructional video Anna! Might be nice to go over the post-game analysis in future. Sacrifice was super spicy but a bit unsound according to the engine. Position was completely lost up to the queen / forced mate blunder by your opponent

[@ckobo84]

She just got lucky, it was a terrible sacrifice. She would lose that game 9 times out of 10, her opponent just blundered badly.

[@thomas_m3092]

Fortunately she didn't have to play against an engine. 😀

[@lewisgiles8855]

Super flowing nice and easy great game!

[@shaktidevii]

Dope snapage! Fast attackage!

[@peteandtessTube]

As I replay this PGN, I see where you moved your Rook from a1 to e1 which you considered a mistake because Nxe1 but not critical to your plan when you took rxf7 but it was next when black moved Qd8 to Qd5 looks like the black blunder that allows you to create the Royal Fork with Kf6 whereas if after you take rxf7 white rxf7 it eliminates your key rook and completely changes the outcome.

[@Amadeus_Flyfishing]

You know, I'm normally not about these strict chess rules. But it's okay to report annoying players for bad sportsmanship. In a tournament he would be disqualified.

[@alwolf7431]

15:45 "I got a bit lucky" Opponent blundered mate in 3 (trying to get a cheeky checkmate themselves with Qg2#) from having a -7.85 advantage according to stockfish. Yes, I set up the position to see the situation: the bishop sacrifice did not lead to a clear win. Fun to watch video, but not a good example for these principles 😆

[@doug3691]

Sacrifice the Bishop -- for more fun. Sacrifice the ROOK! Bait. A nice instructional video, and more fun that the usual of that type. Thank you, Anna.

[@jmagrippis]

Ratings in online chess are crazy. It’s like they either have memorised the best line and have the response, or they will see the cheese but not the trap. The higher you go, the more book moves, but still… knight takes rook too hard to resist 😂 Well played, your joy is contagious 😄

[@AlejandroCalderon-ud9nh]

I love that you describe chess moves as "spicy". 😂

[@jimmysmith7734]

Anna you're the best at explaining chess in an intuitive way. Thank you for that. If I may request a video, could you cover knight forks? how to spot them or get used to spotting them?

[@samuraicheems2442]

You get forked, and learn to recognize it. I got forked alot, but after 10 or so times I started to recognise the pattern

[@kartoffl339]

Do puzzles for example in lichess. It helps a lot.

[@ThePinnacleSFA]

it sounds cliche but it really is just pattern recognition haha play slow time controls to start and you literally have to stop between every move and see how a move impacted the other pieces on the board. Which pieces can now see squares that they couldn't, which pieces are now under attack or defended by new pieces. Which pieces are on the same color squares (pins, forks, skewers) and which pieces can now give checks or block them It's a slow process, nobody said chess was easy haha. But keep at it and you'll get better!

[@asdf14051]

on top of what everyone else said, you just have to train urself to look for them every time u see a knight near a king

[@stademeister15]

Knights move from dark squares to light squares and back to dark squares with every move. So, keep that in mind when you have valuable pieces on the same colored squares with a knight nearby. Hope that helps!
