You must feel very proud Anna and thanks for sharing !!

Is that black Goku Black?🤔😅

[@sherzodnurmurodov5890]

Where are you from Anna?

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

U R the "Princess of Chess" !

[@Rhialto]

OH NO, do you really need this Anna? You start sponsors now that you have 1M? You cut your video to talk about a product? Enough for a few to unsub. Maybe you'll drop below 1M but sooner or later you'll get back to 1M. There are other ways less annoying for your followers you know.

[@tahoemike5828]

The best move your dad ever made was asking out Pia Cramling. The chess is pretty cool too.

[@improveourselves3929]

Best answer I've ever seen! Without that bold move, we would never have Anna, and Anna is priceless!

[@rondegroot1508]

Such a nice thing to say!

[@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf]

Then he checkmated her and made Anna.

[@TheGrindelwald]

@@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf mated Pia in one

[@jcon2060]

What i thought her mom was Judith polgar omg

[@bup23]

at move 14, there are only 2 master games on the lichess database and they just so happen to be played by both of annas parents

[@rudrawhale577]

Actually adorable

[@Batox5]

Probably they studied it together then

[@johntatum1951]

Yes, Anna has great parents...:)

[@Aaskereia]

It would have been checkmate after 17 moves if the cow opening would have excisted back in that day

[@benjaminfranklinkivettiv9433]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@toriless]

Moooo

[@aryadas1095]

She is so proud of her dad 😊👏🏻

[@benjaminfranklinkivettiv9433]

Its kinda cool there all into chess and so good at it. Anna’s a doll😂😂

[@robinelfstrom]

Rightfully so. Wouldn’t you be?

[@Smannellites]

Happy Birthday, Juan Manuel. 🙂

[@jafar2940]

Your dad is a beast. Sacrificing all that material and giving his opponent headache after headache with each move.

[@paulw3182]

Great to watch a young woman share respect her parents - Wonderful family.

[@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf]

Rare because there are so few respectable parents.

[@DdForTt1]

@@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lfI pity you and your environment if that’s the case. Do not turn bitter over unfortunate circumstances… you can make a difference

sacrificing the ROOK!!!!! Levy would be proud

Juan Bellon has offered a trade deal: You receive my knight, my rook and my queen I receive your soul

[@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf]

The closest MY dad came to a brilliancy award was selecting the correct socket when working on a car.

[@NotTheUnsub]

Always enjoying seeing your summary of your Dad's previous games. His tactical play is so beautiful to watch. You are taking us back in time to a piece of history. My favorite moves are the knight sacrifice and later queen sacrifice.

[@yeekangphang1170]

Anna's father playing style similar to Mikhail Tal, Awesome way with inspiring people.

[@sebastianavalos1917]

He destroyed Tal once 👏🏽😁

[@judsongordy8872]

Happy Birthday Juan!!!!

[@ianseaweed]

Brilliant, loved this. Happy birthday dad and get well soon Anna

[@IshaanM1331]

A suggestion: could you maybe attach the pgn of these games in the description so that viewers could analyse the games further and explore other moves they think of in the position.

[@iskywalking420]

Your dads style of chess is my favourite style. Tactical, chaotic, risk taker...I play in a very similar fashion. Thats why hes in my top 3. He never plays boring chess, he likes to have fun on the board and I admire that, ESPECIALLY at his level. Happy Birthday Juan.

[@blanchae]

Very beautiful control of the game. He capitalized on the slow development.

[@toriless]

True

[@tresterbr7897]

Happy Belated Birthday to your dad!

[@paulcrown3754]

That's a beautiful game of chess, so wholesome to see how proud you are of your Dad

Nice to hear in your voice how proud you are of your dad. Of both your parents.

[@tamaskosa4456]

[@gilashroot8697]

Happy Birthday Anna's Dad! Get well soon Anna. It is so beautiful that your daughter is so proud of you. Thank you for sharing this very special, great game. Well played.

[@Zadquiel]

I love how she changes the voice when she pronounce spanish words, ¡También te seguimos acá Anna! Salu2 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Nerdrakere]

You have such a wonderful energy and your relationship with your parents is so wholesome. Feel free to keep showing off your GM parents 😊 they’re super sweet and INCREDIBLY knowledgeable of the game but I know you know that. Your laughing analysis and your collaborations are so much more entertaining when I’m learning than reading books to learn 😊

[@sebastianavalos1917]

Your dad was a beast! Amazing game! Kind of Genious. I Love the proud that you feel for him and your mom 🥺🥰 so deserved.

[@scottcarlson551]

Happy birthday, belated, to your dad. That was a brilliant game from a brilliant man.

[@matiasherediaok]

Amazing !! great video Anna

[@CEOofSandwiches]

The love you have for your father's game is fantastic to watch. A brilliant game with awesome commentary.

[@jamescahill3175]

Wow, your Dad gave one of the best chess performances ever 👏 a rook sacrifice and a Queen sacrifice. Its almost impossible to see the Rook takes on A6 move but that's because it involves a thought process that I'm not use too.. is there a way of deflecting a defender from its position? I'll make sure to think of this in the future 😊

[@Galahad54]

Unlike so many games, I found many of the fun moves here. Lot of fun trying to guess what comes next. Glad you and your parent have such a good and happy family.

[@victordiaz6823]

Tu padre era (es, más bien) todo un artista, Anna.

[@georgepalafox5967]

Simply Brilliant! Thanks for sharing Anna!

[@Chill_Enigma]

Your Dad is a Legend! I love the Cramling-Bellon Family

[@robcat6377]

I've always enjoyed GM bellon-lopez' style, but i have to say unlike anna's fascination with rxa6, i love the move nxc6 more, because black simply has no defence of e6 after that point. it's such a beautiful positional double sacrifice leading to a tactical win that i believe it shows why he became a GM in the first place. growing up at a time when these games were played was also very different to now - we didn't have the computer analysis in real time of today, so many less talented players simply wouldn't have SEEN the ominous warning signs from nxc6 without studying the game for an hour or more after finding it in a magazine or chess article in the newspaper where it was published. in australia, GM Ian Rogers wrote for the age newspaper and regularly published and analysed international as well as local games, and this is how i was lucky enough to see this game for the first time.

[@animistchannel]

Gutsy play! That's some berzerker tactics there, punching the center files and leaving the enemy flankers clumped up as just helpless spectators. Bravo!

[@malloid]

I love how Anna says "moves" - it's a unique Spanish/Swedish enunciation. Nice hair, Anna. Looks like you're wearing Timotei in this video! :D

[@BottleOfCoke]

Could you turn on the highlight of the square the piece was moved from? Great video!! Congratulations on the 1M🎉

[@themistdu]

ahh the historical Spanish-Portugal dispute 😅 great game!

Happy belated birthday to your Dad....really brilliant game!

[@doug3691]

That first knight sacrifice just really seems to get the ball rolling. It's quite a game!

[@rendelldekort7103]

That's really nice. Your dad must be so proud of you

[@karah916]

Is so cute to see the role reversal of Anna being the proud parent commentating.

[@quarkraven]

that's so sweet you did this for your dad's birthday. great game

[@toriless]

His timing of when to wait to pounce and when to leap was very good,

[@playandteach]

The beauty of a game is that it can be relived many years later. With the increase in analytical computer engines it only reinforces the inspired great moves as being a combination of instinct, calculation and experience. Great game.

[@paulrowling6656]

Thank you Anna. An amazing game and your pride in your Dad shines through. :)

[@minnbaite]

That was just Beautiful

[@BintangDuaKejora]

best part of the video is she explain all the possibilities, so even a non pro player can enjoy it

[@JamesAchillesBond]

any tips for a 1487 blitz (3+0) player (me) to improve. at the moment, my win rate is really random and i dont have a certain opening that i'm 100% comfortable playing. i could lose 3 games, win 2, lose another then win 6. or i could lose 7 straight games. or my best record is 19 back to back wins from nearly 1200 to mid 1300

[@RoskildeJonas]

Don't worry so much about win rate. Get comfortable with a couple of openings and get better at spotting tactical patterns, then you will improve automatically.

[@djcoolrule]

Thanks for sharing that was awesome!

[@michaelbauers8800]

Cool game! Another example of why chess seems endlessly interesting. Happy birthday Juan

[@sebjacobo9655]

I watch you in the gym and so I had to actually turn off NorthVPN to watch it with the gym wifi😂 but great VPN

[@susancampanelli4245]

Such a thoughtful gift!

[@aungsitookyaw907]

This is crazy. What a dad.

[@edwinpoon]

I managed to guess Ra6, but only on instinct.

[@kostastournavitis7975]

You explained and anlysed the game so beautiful and understandable. This led me to immedietelly guess Rxa6 :-) I am not a good chess player and alone i woul have never understood the game so good. Thank you!

[@jimhenderson6440]

One more beautiful variation: at 11:47, if Black plays Rxa6, after exf7+, Anna points out that Nxf7 leads to mate on the next move. If, instead of Nxf7, Black plays Ke7, White checkmates on the next move by underpromoting to a knight!

[@stevec6002]

Great match - he definitely deserved the brilliancy prize for this one!

[@ironshifter3785]

Thank you for not giggling and not talking too fast! Well done!!!!

[@lennymost167]

like this times where u have to think on your own. would enjoy so much grown up in a time where chess depends the most from your own skills.

[@jojolords4523]

feliz cumpleaños Juan Manuel

[@peekay4]

Happy birthday Anna's dad!!!

[@murkywters]

Happy birthday Juan!

[@Sanji_Hylo_4st]

pretty sure the move is rook takes a6, cuz the matter of the black queen and rook defending against checkmate will be too much and they both cannot take the rook because they are tied down

[@alan-kelly]

Feliz cumpleaños, Sr. Bellon!

[@SimonPauro-ks6hu]

Awesome check mate

Happy birthday to your Dad, very beautiful game wow !!!

[@Tech-vn1jv]

The game was brilliant, just like you are brilliant. Hello from Texas, I enjoy watching your videos, had no idea you were Spanish. I lived in Spain long time ago as a kid. Please keep doing these videos in English and Spanish, love them. I grew up playing chess, I'm from the homeland of Jose Raul Capablanca y Graupera, my Idol. Feliz Cumpleaños a tu padre. Adiós.

[@sawyer9times]

Nice going Anna!!!

[@ianattong6989]

Awesome game !!! Thanks for sharing !!

I saw the move Rxa6 and the checkmate with pawn, rook and a bishop at the end with a queen sacrifice.

Its always really impressive when chess players are confident sacrificing their pieces for better position, like Anna's dad (twice!) and like the Immortal game. Edit: Also happy birthday GM (dad) Cramling!
