Taking a board game way too seriously.

[@Wolf88888]

@BerserkerErik Yeah, it's called, 'exaggeration for comedic effect'. It's based on the principle that comedy is both about the truly absurd and the absurdly true. Look into it. Also, there's a reason generals and kings have always played chess: It is practice in the art of subterfuge and ruthlessness.

[@BerserkerErik]

@@Wolf88888 Yea well I am autistic so I apologize for not getting the joke, even though I do think chess has lots to do with strategic thinking and planning, I dont think it has anything to do with being ruthless, its only this way if your enemy really really values winning for some reason, and even then its all just an ego battle, not really anything substantial on the line most of the time, only if you take it too seriously like I said.

When guys feel threatened by a woman, they start giving her advice or complimenting her on what she's doing to make themselves seem like the more competent ones in the situation. It's a common tactic meant to shoot down a woman's confidence. Of course it rarely works, and ends up just being really irritating.

[@official2mt37]

lmao so they compliment the woman and somehow thats “trying to make themselves seem more competent” what do you expect them to do? no dude, its just complimenting and mutual respect.

[@matthewlove4082]

@@official2mt37 The "compliments" I'm talking about are the ones where the guy phrases it like the girl isn't aware how well of a move she made, so he has to let her know. As if she accidentally made an intelligent decision instead of out of competence. It's condescending and you guys need to stop playing dumb because you know very well what it is you're doing. 🙂🙂🙂

[@official2mt37]

@@matthewlove4082 do you wanna point out where he “phrased it like the she didnt know what shes talking about”? you need to realise not every compliment or advice given is rooted in trying to undermine her competence. half the time he was just jokingly saying things like “you shouldve taken the pawn” as a joke because that would actually better his position. stop trying to push dumb narratives.

[@neusprach]

What makes you say that? To me he appeared nice but he clearly underestimated his opponent.

[@michaelstone3463]

I hate when people do that. To start with, it's a power play--presuming that you're in a superior position, and deigning to offer "help". And if you win, he can claim it was because he helped you! Insurance. But then also, it injects doubt into the other player's mind--should I take his suggestion--putting myself into a somewhat submissive position, or not? And is there something he has spotted that I haven't yet, and he's hoping that I don't, and therefore distracting you from it by focusing your attention on the one move. Is there a consequence of this move that I haven't picked up on, that will bite me if I take it? Or is it that he *doesn't* want me to take that move, but as he is my opponent, he wants me to suspect the move and therefore is being contrarian, practicing some "reverse psychology"? Whatever the case--it causes me to overthink a move that I might have otherwise made quickly and more confidently, and it therefore causes me to burn off more time--perhaps a LOT more time--off the clock. And that might have been the whole plan from the beginning. And it's distracting. So just leave me to my thoughts, and we'll get along fine!

[@Pedsonc01]

To the contrary, @NoThanksblahhhh0751, Anna has no humility, and it's obvious that she considers herself to be the best chess player on the planet. I've been to multiple international chess tournaments in my miss-spent youth. Ms. Anna is no match for a Bobby Fischer or an Alexi Benocovich.

I'd say he was about 1800, maybe less. Might sound low but his style was typical of that kind of rating. He wins through bamboozling players by being tricky and forcing panic mistakes, but he was not solid and his game ended up falling apart (also typical of that rating).

They talk the whole time it's our turn to try to distract us or make us mad, but it doesn't work: we're all mothers.

It’s not meant to be a serious event where people play each game in silence, and either way neither Anna nor the guy gave any objection to the other side talking and being friendly/having fun during the game.

You can tell he is more accustomed to winning than being challenged by stronger players. With bishop, queen lined up and the rook pointing down the h file you could see the confidence and he thought his black square bishop was either safe or would be key to a decisive early win. When plan A didn’t work it all started to crumble, allowing a pawn fork that was a victory of hope over judgement shows he isn’t good at changing the plan and defending under pressure.

Wow you sure have come a long way since I first saw you, im glad to see that since you are awesome! Önskar dig all lycka till för framtiden. Unfortunately I could not watch this video since it was lagging all the time, I have no problem with other videos but this one was super laggy for some reason.

[@NotTheUnsub]

Just finished the video. I'm so glad that you didn't let his overconfidence and mind games of trying to tell his moves and making move suggestions for you throw you off your own game. He ended up a sitting duck by keeping his king in the middle unprepared for your tactical moves.

[@salaltschul3604]

You know he wouldn't be giving his opinion like that, "that's the best move you could make," if you were a dude.

[@BOBBOBBOBBOBBOBBOB69]

How could you possibly know that?

[@ashleyhall6464]

@@BOBBOBBOBBOBBOBBOB69because women have had to deal with men’s egos our whole lives. If you’re a man you wouldn’t know that experience but it’s very real

Once you get to a certain level with your game, Chess becomes part of you. I'm 68 and have been playing since my teens. I am NOT great but sometimes Good is Enough !!! Loved your game and the friendly banter between you and your opponent !!

[@slatebook2384]

Let's see the continuation of this !! And, well done against the purple knight.

[@Alfredo-iz4nj]

Amazing game! Can’t wait for the semi!

[@thethinkingman-]

why not?

[@slab6046]

Mansplaining at its Best. You go Anna!

[@FannieLaGreca]

Nice one Anna. Sure, I would love to see the rest of your tournament.

[@pinpinmonkey]

I love your commentaries, you make me smile as you play!

[@andrewcrane5105]

What he's actually thinking.. "OH God! I like her! I can't ask her out unless I win!! 😂"

[@RobinHood70]

I see I wasn't the only one who got the impression he liked her. 😊

[@andrewcrane5105]

@RobinHood70 I mean what young man wouldn't be enchanted by this lovely lady. My goal is to reach at least 1700 so I can sit down and play her, simply to talk to her 😅🤣🥰

[@andrewcrane5105]

@RobinHood70 Yeah, I myself hope to reach 1,500 rank, just to feel worthy enough to least sit at a table with her someday 😅 🤣🥰

[@thethinkingman-]

i would be like I will do her even if i loose

[@FrancescoDiMauro]

being nice and losing gracefully = overconfident?

[@en2oh]

It’s a pleasure watching your work!

[@jgilbert7591]

I haven't played in quite some time. This was quite enjoyable. You both are good.

[@sharoncheshire3131]

Someone who is used to winning often tells people how to do things, confident they can’t be beaten. A little arrogant until it all goes wrong 😊

[@madpistol]

12:57 His ONLY option was Rd2 because Qxf2 was checkmate, or he was losing a bishop. He had to put pressure on your Queen. There was no other option.

[@thecosmologist]

Next round please, enjoyed watching that so much and its the first game i have watched in ages, made me laugh too.

[@tanyalove6983]

Brilliant game. Really enjoyed it. Was really scared you were going to run out of time but you did real well.

[@lavelle1168]

Bro was humbled

[@duomo2351]

he realizes he lost right at 8:45 when he makes the lippy face

[@andyrandall9289]

I'd definitely like to see the next round. You look too be an awesome chess player.

[@elenalenaiva]

My heart had no business beating that fast!

[@almightyhydra]

My guess at Tom's rating: 1800

[@098Exile]

blame it to the beer and move up to 2100 ? Anna seems quite proud 🙂

[@grimeball]

My guess was 1900.

[@martinpaddle]

sounds about right

[@365Harry]

Or under

[@nehcrow]

seems closer to 1300

[@Tibor0803]

Rule number 1 dude: STOP FREAKIN' TALKING!

[@idunmitrani2618]

12:20 Crucial moment. From this moment on, you took a decisive advantage. Beautiful and smart. Best regards from Mexico. 💚🤍❤ 🇲🇽
