He remembered the game. I cannot remember what I ate Saturday..

[@kubagornowicz]

But you ate something? :)

[@EtichettaBlue]

i don't remember what i ate 1h beafore!

[@adrianwright8685]

If you practised every day remembering what you ate last Saturday you would!

[@Fiffi_sound]

Well, its propobly not very nerve wrecking what you ate for dinner.

Totally.

That was my first thought!! The bench is so far away and the table is so low!

[@antoniotruong5647]

"Who's your favorite chess player in the world Ethan?"...(without hesitation)..."Hikaru Nakamura". It was at this moment that Anna Cramling decided to end this kids career.

[@NotTheUnsub]

Loved the video. Had a little bit of everything! 1) Humor (I don't know what was funnier, your nervousness at the beginning playing Ethan or the reaction by the other players listening to your nervousness) and the unintentional of course, mic mishap, 2) intense game - I won't spoil but knew was intense as video was more about the chess than banter during playing and 3) ultimate sportsmanship and class by you (makes me admire Anna even more) by politely reminding Ethan to touch his clock after he moved, you playing touch move when you saw that you could have taken his rook after touching your pawn and decreasing a your clock time a bit after the mic oops! Congrats Anna! Congrats Ethan!

[@nastinka939]

Also after winning, reminding him of his previous wins ("i had nightmares") in order not to let his self-esteem sink

[@enricomassaro7437]

that touch-move was a class act, kudos Anna :)

What’s also impressive is Ethan Pang not only remembering the last game he played with Anna, but being cognizant of what did, and didn’t, happen during the match. Yikes!

[@goldnutter412]

Yikes. lol

[@sirloin8745]

No, that happens. Like soccer players, or well, any other sport players.

Fun game, and what a fine young player Ethan Pang is. Mistakes on both sides but some great tactics too. And it always brightens my day to watch a new game from Anna and meet her opponent and hear her happy laughter. Chess is about having fun and making friends! And also hearing the lamentations of their tutors but that's another thing...

[@alexanderlicudine2431]

The fear in Anna’s voice when she says “WAIT you’re ethan” gets me LMAO

[@iyak_pa_arashi]

the kid be like: "can u pls stop talking and just play the game"

true I also hate small talk :D

[@vonsch76]

The cute way Anna gets schocked in the beginning is just being herself 😅

[@d.jensen5153]

It is indeed Anna being herself. It must be a character flaw of mine that I desperately wanted her to rein in her reactions.

[@kimoda9451]

i love how anna's british accent came out when she said, did you just play the english championship! LOL. adorable, we all do a bit of that!! anna is so kind and welcoming. i think she'd even be kind playing me...after stomping me in 3 moves! LOL

[@nutbrown607]

Ain't that the cutest little CM you ever did see

[@clee888]

aw she reminded the kid to click the timer even though he's rated so high...i get influencers have to "look" nice but Cramling seems more genuine

[@tumbllweed]

What a well composed young boy. Watching all of these young kids play top notch chess is amazing.

[@dondidotchi]

Kids this days are lethal 😮

[@perpetualbystander4516]

Why is the stone bench so far away from the table?

[@dinafoxm]

Aww so amazing. Feel like chess is one of the games / sports that is such an equaliser. On the board, age, gender, background don't matter (that much). Of course there are still mental and structural barriers in the chess space, but I love seeing people any age playing each other.

[@passengerplanetearth]

3:40 "Are you at all intimidated by me?...okay, I am not getting an answer..." Young dude is too much of a gentleman to openly laugh in your face, gg :-)

[@Gochsener]

I'd love an analysation of this match. The opening follow up, then not taking the rook and still coming back from an almost even position was a great comback!

[@nicolaspeters2555]

Wow, Anna you are a genius, that was tense, onlookers impressed and applause. He is focussed on chess, not so good at the small talk . . . yet. A bright boy. Enjoyed, thank you.

Soooooo GOOD to see this rematch by these two fantastic human beings! Great sportsmanship from both sides. Fully demonstrated how you can be competitive and still be modest and respectful. Thank you!

Hahaha she got a whole PTSD of her last meeting with him at the beginning 😂

His favorite chess player is Hikaru, whose hands are faster than Marvel's the Flash. Amazing hand speed.

Anna. Your kindness and humbleness and good nature to everyone you meet is remarkable. You are more than an ambassador of the game, but many could learn to be kind to others watching your channel. Bravo. “ should have taken the rook….” Ethan will. Be exciting to watch over the years.

[@ramonhelbig1823]

[@Robert-y4t9q]

To achieve a GM norm, one must beat 14 GM's, both at home and overseas. So, when Ethan said that it would take him a long time to become a GM, that was an accurate assessment.

[@NONAMEISSHOWING]

he even speaks and moves like Hikaru. What a kid!

I warn my 16 year old son about playing against 9 year olds. They either have no idea how to play and play random moves or they annihilate you.

[@ronbirnbaum1968]

Nice win, Anna!!

[@7expresstrain]

That game brought some life and personality into the kid by the end. Love it!

[@mdc123-v2v]

9 years old and a 2200 rating is just mind-blowing. Anna definitely had the advantage of experience here, and was able to adapt based on her previous games, where Ethan is still partially reliant on the object of surprise. In a few more years he'll have the table time at an elite level and be pretty unstoppable. I'm very interested in Anna's current rating though, she must be about the same as in FIDE?

[@ChorltonOutlaw]

great kid

The tour chess

[@jtj31794]

@Anna, I had an idea for your channel that I'd love to see you do. I'm fairly new to chess, and I know a lot of people would be more interested in playing if the daunting theory was understood. You've also talked a bit about studying and prep before in your videos and tournament play. What if you created a channel series going through the theory and the different openings. Personally I like the Reti and Kings Indian. Having a series explaining the theory and lines with your enthusiastic persona would be amazing!

[@jamesduggan7200]

good game - fun to watch - thx

[@baddiecentral22]
