You can tell even before the game starts that he knows what he's doing. The way he moves his pieces and doesn't even have to think about how to set-up the board showed that he wasn't a beginner.

[@uros7320]

[@sadikozoguz5705]

He didn't ask for her name. There's no way a 2300 rated player doesn't know Anna Cramling.

[@JamesJoyce12]

you can always guess a rating by how a player physically handles a clock - he was clearly a >2,000 based on his clock button skills

[@dex6316]

That only works if someone plays a lot of OTB games. You can get very good at chess by playing online only and be a complete novice at physically moving the pieces and handling the clock.

[@kaspervercruysse5710]

Hi Anna, funny video and yeah I'm glad you caught on to him within a few moves he was playing pretty textbook. Anyway, if you want hundreds thousands of extra views, have one of those Angelina Jordan's new songs from her new EP old enough, playing in the background on one of your videos and maybe even give us your opinion of one of the songs and put that it's an Angelina Jordan reaction within the video, and literally hundreds of thousands of us fans will find it and jump on your channel. I know you're all about Chess and that's what I love watching about you and your mom because you both have some very creative and interesting chess games and it's always a joy to hear you talk about your thinking process. So yeah I've been here a while, but today was Angelina's first EP release and she's been a child prodigy from Norway which is how I found out about her watching some Magnus things and she popped up on the feed. So yeah another prodigy from Norway that you simply must check out. It may also be really fascinating to hear you discuss the parallels between her and Magnus and why you think that each of them rose to the top of their respective fields, and how there might be some connection with Scandinavia or maybe it's in the water LOL. Anyway I'd love to see what you think and maybe you can make a video about it that would be really fascinating and you'd get a ton of views and cross-pollinate audiences. LMK what you think, I'd be tickled to death if you actually looked into this idea!
