[@spindoctor6385]

Anna needs a spindoctor in her head. Going back with the knight is not an admission of a bad move, it was a perfectly executed plan where she baited the oponent to play h3.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

100% agreed.

[@mrzold]

I don't really play chess (watch it a lot), but I do play hold-em poker. You have the same dynamics and philosophical and psychological considerations in poker. Every time something changes in a poker game that challenges your "game plan" (someone bets differently, gives a "tell", a card is dealt that shifts the dynamic of the cards on the table, etc.), you have to check your ego, and do what is "the best move", otherwise, you get dangerously "pot-committed", which is what Anna did. Twice! A great learning experience, but ouch! Also, as the end game approached, notice Anna's "If things had been different" explanations, which remind me of a very old obscure cultural reference: "if my mother had wheels she'd be a trolley car". Anyway, Anna - keep doing what you're doing; it is always educational and entertaining and you are a great ambassador of the game and your love of the game is infectious. Give them hell in the next round. Oh, I guess I should finish watching the video - there are a few minutes left!

[@mrzold]

Oh, and as said in the last video: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE YOUR OPPONENT!

[@peterfredriksson1857]

Well... Could be true if h3 was weakening white but that's not the case here I think. 😊

[@spindoctor6385]

​@@peterfredriksson1857Well, it is one less defender of the pawn on G3 with the king on the g file, She still has her dark square bishop, two knights, two rooks, the queen and pawns on the f and h files that could all potentially attack it.

Yes I love the videos with all 3 of them. Mom, dad, and Anna!

[@cellobarney]

Your dad’s “Yes!” At the end of the video was so awesome. It’s very clear that your upbringing has shaped your wonderful attitude.

[@Rawrkorn]

I love when Anna jumps into the screen at the beginning. Feels like it's Christmas early 😂😂❤

[@williaaamj]

you put down so much time for us, playing, preping, explaining, uploading everyday. Thanks

[@soloark7430]

Sir not to pop your bubble or anything buuuuuuut This is her main source of income

[@williaaamj]

@@soloark7430 yes, still hard work

[@manuterioh]

Tough game against a great player. Thanks for the clear and honest commentary.

[@richardknouse618]

Everything devolved from h5. You always do better when you play methodically. That said, I always look forward to your posts. I noticed that you avoided the word "fear" today. That is solid progress.

[@jeanstp4522]

I had just saw a previous video of her saying that one of the most common beginner mistake was to push these side pawns too early. She was right!!!

[@PsychologyAcademia]

Her opponent played every move perfectly with only one winning line. The ending is very computer like.

[@skttnm]

Cool thing about Anna sharing her thinking is that I realize I think same way. However, she is a Master who has studied theory whereas I am a noob and have never studied theory, let alone play chess more than once a year or so. You learn more from your losses than you do from your victories. Thanks for having the humility and the enormous strength to share even when you lose. We still love our favorite chess player!

[@Aaron-th7xx]

Some brilliant moves by Isgenderova! Sacrificing the knight then offering the rook sacrifice!

[@DouglasThom]

But tomorrow is another day! Great fortitude, Anna. It's not a mistake if you learned from it. Good luck next game!!

[@TheLeopard2A6]

that was deep .. but technically was still a mistake/inacc. ))

[@DouglasThom]

@@TheLeopard2A6 Yeah, can't argue that! Hahahaha

[@JHSullivanIII]

Your commentary on your games is improving my chess. Thanks! Explaining your thinking, both "solid" and "inspired", is really helpful. : )

[@Zenigundam]

I like that Anna didn't play conservatively. That means that she's not afraid to explore different games and grow as a player. Even though she lost the match, this was a win because she gained knowledge.

[@shaneclinger5888]

If you're going to lose a match I believe this is a great match to do it with. You learned so much in hindsight. I love watching and learning with you.

[@Bismarck-S]

“She’s slightly higher rated than me”, yeah, literally by one elo.

[@foantje5857]

Thank you for this, love these kinda reviews

[@michaelkewl7056]

Keep going Anna, its not the game but the courage to stand up after the fall that counts. Good luck for ur upcoming match

[@Everylilthing23]

Anna maja also played her and admired her skill in tactics, now I see why, but you played great yourself Anna you definitely be proud of your play

[@SoniicBlade]

the self reflection at the end feels like some therapy session to her. so she can talk about how she felt and what she can do to do better. anyway good luck on the next game!

[@Tuck213]

Fascinating to see your analysis. So many chess insights into future moves, hard to wrap my head around. You and your parents are geniuses, good luck next game!

[@joeokabayashi8669]

Your commentary during your replays brings life to the game! Thank you.

[@jamesb2034]

One of the things I have always loved about chess is that fresh board setup at the start of the next game!

[@lukebrennan5780]

It was a good game - you learn from your mistakes and today was better. I laughed today when your Dad said "Can I have your autograph! :-) these recaps are incredibly interesting to all of us. Watching the Twitch stream with your Mum's game beside yours is AWESOME.

[@stevemartin8003]

Love your honesty and reflection. So enjoy watching and listening to your updates. All the best for your upcoming games.

[@tomhunter8617]

When you had a ray of light moment early in the game! I think this might have been an " Epiphany" Stick in for the next round.

[@LSam01]

Animo, Anita. En el ajedrez o se gana o se aprende.

[@aptudo]

Great video, Anna! I learn so much from your chess analysis, and I am uplifted by your outlook. Good luck with the rest of the tournament!

[@homerhill1135]

You are awesome. You'll get em next time! We are pulling for you.

[@ultimognu_catan]

Attacking the Fianchetto bishop, love it!!! Hard game but I like that you tried the lines that feel right and be creative

[@WalterLiddy]

The amazing thing as a viewer is that even in a loss, your thinking about the game at every step is so far beyond what I'd be able to do.

[@DarkFader2000]

Thanks for the breakdown for the new update. Can’t wait to try out the tractor beams!

[@joelgeorge5816]

Anna Amazing video It's refreshing to see the behind the scenes. wish you the best of luck for the best of the tournament.

[@Kubooxooki]

You played an incredibly interesting game against a very strong player, and I for one thank you for keeping your chess exciting and instructive for us.

[@statstar1]

Anna, 1. You are a strong chess player, you got this! 2. Losses are part of the game. It’s how you respond to a loss that separates the greats from the rest of the players. Develop a shake it off ritual. Be grateful that you found something in the loss that will make you stronger. Treat losses with the curiosity and optimism that great inventors treat failed experiments. 3. Detach yourself from the pieces. The pieces are just pieces, they are there to follow the plan. To paraphrase Jose Raul Capablanca: The plan is to find one move at a time, the best move. So, if a move didn’t work, continue with the plan to find the next best move. 4. Have fun and all the best for the remainder of the tournament! You got this!

[@Edwin_Klasen]

You are such a delight to watch. Great spirit💫

[@mememe733]

Don’t worry about it Anna 😊 With time you will forget most of the individual games you play and even the results, whereas the precious memories of traveling with your parents to these places/events and share your passion for chess with them, will always stay with you ☺️ Good luck tomorrow 🍀

[@gregoryfloriolli9031]

Interesting analysis. Good luck on the next game.

Good luck Anna! I hope tomorrow will be a better game for your team 💪

[@umuden]

The way you analyzed all these is so valuable, imo

[@drziggyabdelmalak1439]

Bad Luck, Anna. The next game to look forward to. i adore your honest apprasal of your games and feelings. Not many would do that!

[@paria.]

anna you got this!! thank you for the videos youre an awesome player never doubt that.

[@reechard54]

I feel for you on reversing moves. Mountain climbers, if they are to survive, learn one cardinal rule: never take a step that you can’t take back. It is so hard to do though. The ego gets in the way! After some near misses, I gave up mountain climbing.

[@freefall9832]

Smart move. Chess doesn't kill.

[@chesswithbill]

Keep rockin', Anna! Defeat is a brutal "thing," I definitely know it! You're great and gonna be greater still - keep it up!

[@scottcampbell5536]

Good experience Anna and you will bounce back strong. We all love your content. You make Chess fun :)

[@Club321Fun]

[@xavierica-]

Best of luck you have improved so much your games are very interesting 👍

[@arcaylan]

Thank you for sharing!

[@georgemacdonald8899]

It's such a privilege to be "inside the tournament" with you as you play. I play H5 when doing the fishing pole trap, but when it goes wrong it frequently goes brutal like that! Thanks for sharing this game, very educational! Your dad is such a great dad, my dad also taught me chess and I am forever grateful.

[@Ttavoc]

I think thats the biggest advantage of AIs: They dont have an Ego. They do whats the best.

[@jahoneluv4681]

Anna, I enjoy watching your channel, because of the energy you bring, the smile, coupled with your ability to play chess. That said, the analysis after your move b6... (which at that point I agreed with) is grand. All I can say!!! 😂😂Especially after breaking down the position in view of the eval-bar. Oh-my 😂

[@AtlanticPerspective]

Love your honest content! I guess you will always consider now if the rook has open files in this forks calculations. Best of luck! I am learning from you for my next year OTB debut!

[@jordanmcmorris5248]

I love how she went for h5 after a4 being a huge problem in the last game, but you do have to play the current game after all

[@farainfarsai5098]

You and your Dad are awesome. Good luck in the next game.

[@paulcherry2418]

I'm rooting for you Anna🎉🎉🎉 you got this.

[@adriangedamke2069]

Anna you learn more from losing than by winning. I think you can come back from this defeat to be evan stronger. Hindsight is a marvellous thing as you know now where you went wrong & your opposition took full advantage, better luck next time . Ps love watching your chess games.😊

[@malenotyalc]

Epiphany is the word you were looking for. Also, I love to see how excited you get and your enthusiasm!

[@bassfischer4273]

Thanks for sharing Anna! There is no light without dark and it's a strong individual who can face their defeats with grace and honor. Good luck tomorrow.

[@scottwareham6987]

Keep going, Anna! The journey is what makes the destination, you can bounce back. Enjoy, learn, and have fun! 😊

[@ZorbaPress]

Anna, I love your creativity and audacity. And you work hard calculating at every move.. ... May I suggest that from the opening, you build up some small positional advantages, and then -- not sooner -- go for your attacks and pawn sacrifices. ... Good luck in the next round: your fans are cheering for you !

[@chaineloisir2506]

You need to prepare a line against the King's indian attack: what she played was part of Bobby Fisher repertoire against the Sicilian

[@itsjim2875]

Anna - you're fabulous. Just continue as you are..

[@Al-Desktop-bm8vh]

Very much enjoy your explaining your game to us. thanks

[@elasticharmony]

Advancing the knights early was the error, they had nothing for the risk and that positional difficulty lead to the lock up, attacks that fail a very big mistake

[@dcdemon813]

I love your energy! ⚡️

[@AlexanderNevermind888]

I love Anna's breakdown of these games, as her analysis also puts a spotlight on chess psychology over the board. I think playing too much speed chess can develop these intuitive impulses as well. If you play the Sicilian enough and have become familiar with many of the positions, you eventually will realize that a move like...h5 can only be done under a certain set of circumstances. Once she starts playing more OTB she will get better. Speed and bullet may be more fun to stream about, but there's a reason why, outside of Hikaru, many streamers get stuck at a certain point and usually their OTB ratings are around 1000-2000. While blitz tactics appear nice, there's a superficiality to their OTB play that shows up regularly. I think in time Anna will overcome this and it should make her even better at blitz. For reference, see her mother's blitz game against that NY hustler. Because of her OTB training, she knew where her pieces belonged and had the game won before he even realized that he was lost.

[@richardcasey4439]

“I felt like a genius”, love it

[@CAPUTse]

love the self reflection. realizing your own ego problems and understanding the reason of why you doubled down on a bad desicion is huge, especially at ur age. good luck in ur next match

[@rogerw1521]

You did great. Focus on the next match. We will cheer for you.

[@gabebabe1]

I agree - trust yourself - no ‘new’ moves unless you know the outcome.

[@archivist17]

Wow! Great play. She was very cool.

[@roberttai646]

Learning from a loss can many times offer you insight that you might not otherwise get. Wishing you the best! (PS. Your mom's performance at the Grand Swiss was awesome!)

[@trex9263]

Sorry for the loss, Anna. As long as we learn from our mistakes it's still a win in the grand scheme of things. I really love these tournament videos.

[@blueowl2555]

I like your positive attitude. Learning is winning!!!

[@ThvonS]

You are an absolute role model talking about this game. You will certainly bounce back. *kram*

[@SomeCallMeStone]

Incredible analysis! It's amazing to me how the engine calls out winning positions based on moves that are allowed so far in the future. Thanks for taking the time - gg wp gl next

[@alejandrojimenez108]

It's a tough loss but you clearly know what's going on in these positions as they develop, which is so important, don't doubt yourself or the ideas you are finding!

[@bytejuggler]

Ah, what a delightful family you are. All the best from South Africa.

[@katis999]

Keep your head up, that game was very exciting. You win some, you lose some. Good luck for the next game, Anna

[@aaronchan1088]

Playing an early h5 and short castling...a recipe for disaster. Literally shook my head and wasn't surprised at the outcome.

[@papatingle9964]

Hey Anna, it's not easy to admit when making a mistake, and I appreciate you taking us through your journey, and the pain that comes with it. Still, I fail to see how in 13:20 it's not completely winning very quickly. I don't know what the best line is... but even Nb4 preventing Qxa2 wins on the spot. a5 or Qc8 both fail to Nxd5, there's no way to save the knight on a1 and probably d5 is also going to fall.

[@mmathems395]

Not to worry because that loss can make you a stronger player now. So, it's good that you have reviewed and checked how some moves affected your game. Thinking about that pawn move that came about by a "divine inspiration", check if you were overexcited at that point, and check if that happens often. It's just that you have so much potential that you can see anything that you want to see (but you must wait). Try to be more respectful and fearing of your opponent (it would be so good if player ratings were unknown), and play cautiously - wait to see more of what they actually do, wait for mistakes, and calculate more when the alternative possibilities are fewer - before then stick to some basics and build a sure foundation. You'll be alright because you stay learning 😉Thank you for this content 😊
