I Played Nemo In a CLASSICAL CHESS TOURNAMENT!!!!

[@AnnaCramling]

Hey everyone! Nemo wasn’t trying to cheat or act like a hustler when she accidentally dropped the clock - it was just that, an accident 🙂 we both were confused about where the bishop was placed, so we called the arbiter over and we saw that she made an illegal move, and I got extra time for it. Thanks for watching the video

[@puupmanmcgee]

I accept that it was an accident but if I was the arbitration, I would have counted her as timed out. She hit the clock right as it clicked from 1 to 0, after making an illegal move.

[@NotTheUnsub]

Definitely an accident. The tables were a bit small for the boards. In the Alex vs Jules game, Jules accidentally knocked a rook off the board and table onto the floor. In the game between you and Alex, while you were away from table, just trying to sit down, Alex accidently bumped against the table or table leg and the whole board moved and she had to recenter the board on the table. Great recap video, by the way!

[@hylen26]

Did Nemo obtain her WGM title under fraudulent circumstances? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@Leejungwoo48]

@@hylen26 Yes, so she either did buy it out right from FIDE, or intentionally joined tournaments where she knew the competition was weak to boost her rating. that's not fraud per say but definitely it's not the most honourable thing to do! She has also intentionally scammed her fans on a poker draw she hosted with her boyfriend. You can verify and look that up on some youtube videos that provide the evidence. Regardless of what was going on and what she says, it would be wise not to give her the benefit of the doubt when she's already ruined her own reputation several times!

"And....I was BRAVE!!," she says, delighted at her realization. Well done, Anna. You showed GRIT and executed very well under pressure. You deserve to feel great about the win!

[@toriless]

She still lacks confidence in her abilities, most of the time she has lost is because of it.

Thank you so much Anna for playing me, was really nice seeing you finally beat me in classical ❤ :)

[@itsbal1158]

Damn u were panicking tho btw nice try .

[@toriless]

"finally", ouch

[@Sagerydian]

That illegal move with one second on the clock was not the best sportsmanship.

[@LaxStixTactics]

Nice attempt at cheating when you made an illegal move and then proceeded to move your bishop again on Anna’s clock. Reminds me of when you cheated your fans out of a “giveaway” and you gave the prize to your boyfriend instead.

Four great moves in a row? Holy crap I can't believe you found that line

[@TheRealMafoo]

I am a lower rated player, and I don't think I would have beat Nemo, but I also found those moves. I suspect she found them long before me, but once in those positions, the right move was pretty obvious.

[@YMasterS]

​@TheRealMafoo yeah, it's not finding the line that is impressive; anyone can do that. It's being able to calculate the line so you know for sure it works. This kinda thing comes up all the time in chess commentary. People mistake seeing the move for understanding the consequences of the move. If you can't calculate it all the way, you didn't find it by skill, but by chance.

[@LSam01]

@@TheRealMafoo It's not the same just watching that playing

[@djcoolrule]

You are such a strong player Ana stop losing matches due to having no time to win! Open that confidence that we all know you have.

[@Ron_DeForest]

Very true. She needs to get her mind out of the clock and into the moment.

[@elizabethgeoghegan5167]

This tournament was a great endeavor. I love how each participant set individual goals/benchmarks for themselves.

[@purpletiger9313]

I'm not a big chess fan, but I did tune in for this game on the live stream, and was glued. Brilliant pressuring play from Anna, great commentary from Pia -- so many times when Pia said the next best move is ... and Anna did it! Truly her mother's daughter. But Anna went her own way and won the game. And then, yes, the clock drama -- all kinds of clock drama! Pia's microphone drama, her dead video feed, and then the players vanishing with absolutely nothing happening onscreen at the 30 min added time mark. But amidst all this drama the strength of Anna's playing was the main thing. Congrats Anna and congrats on (tieing) for 3rd place! I will never forget this awesome match!

[@AriochThe]

Is this Pia's commentary on YT too? Should've been dramatic :)

@@AriochThe Yes, it's available on KZbin.

[@Catalest1337]

Well done Anna! Glad to see you go for the win instead of drawing it out. 🎉

[@BendyLemmy]

Haha there was a certain point where I noticed Nemo start showing signs of stress - and I think she takes losses very personally too, and watching her body language it looked like there was increasing panic - especially after you pulled the knight back... whilst we watched that eval bar shifting against her, so she was just having a hard time accepting the end there...

[@GeorgeD_]

That's a very polite way of putting it.

[@d.rayowens422]

You confidently took the risk, Great game. Congrats

Fantastic game to watch and huge cud’s for you for finding some very difficult moves to find. I used to be able to predict the options of your moves and see which one you’d take, but hat game there were 3 or 4 I didn’t see. You have definitely gone up a level 👏👏👏👏

[@AlessandroAmbrosio75]

It's Amazing the description of your processes and how intuition comes in and how you ride it! Great, thank you! ✨

[@tonynorriss379]

Well done Anna. That was the best I have seen you play, and a deserved win. I know the indicator on the board in your mother's commentary was showing even for much of the ending. But, I thought your king position was much better, and that white was going to have to play very precisely to get a draw.

[@steves3234]

Always believe in yourself Ann's. You are awesome. Congrats to you!!

[@BradTheThird]

24:58 I still think clock-gate was dodgy. She definitely let go of the bishop on F5, where it wobbled over to G5 from momentum. She then moved it back to F5 but then moved it onto G4 before picking it back up. But it was the way she held up her left hand after picking the bishop up that makes me suspicious. In my mind, it implicated a sort of panicked guilt. I don't think she meant to knock the clock off the table, or for the bishop to go to G5. I think in the heat of the moment she decided that G4 was better, but instantly realised it was all on camera. Either way Papa Botez made a good call in penalising her and Anna got the win anyway.

[@FMFvideos]

IF you know her history, then you know Nemo is not to be trusted.

[@BradTheThird]

@@FMFvideos I had literally never heard of her before this tournament. Until a few days ago, Nemo to me was a fish that got kidnapped by an Australian dentist.

[@mensaswede4028]

I don’t know this woman who was playing white, but she obviously panicked moving at the last second and it wouldn’t surprise me if she really intended to move to g4. In the end I think the judge did the right thing and there had to be a penalty for an illegal move due to the bishop wobbling over one square and dropping the clock on the floor.

[@danieldeanhodge]

@@BradTheThird She actually IS a fish. That's why her dress has gills.

[@NelsenGChess]

[@js-dx9gm]

Very nice narration. Humble and honest sharing of deeper motivations. Great character Anna, you have another subscriber.

[@neaituppi7306]

From this closer angle, as when I was watching the stream, you can clearly see her move the bishop like it was knight, then move it to another position, then back to where it was.

[@chortlesinthecorner]

I think the intention was G4 but to make time she pulled her hand too soon around F5 and due to the round base it rotated to G5. I'm no arbiter but to me F5 was its last legal position so that's where I would have put it. That being said, Anna got the win with the move going to the point of intention so that's even better for Anna!

[@JasonRobertsMobi]

Wow! You are both such strong players and great sporting competitors! Way to play for the win and watching your time! Congrats! 👏 🎉

[@janibeg3247]

that was my ploy - knock the clock on the floor or maybe upsetting the board

[@Orange-Jumpsuit-Time]

My ploy is to fake a seizure, roll around on the floor until I hear chess pieces hitting the ground.

I know that a common theme is you getting in time trouble and this game was no exception as at one point you were way behind on time. But we have to give credit where credit is due as you played so remarkable and precise at your end game with so little time. I think at one point you made like 3 excellent (according to the engine) moves in a row. Incredible that you ended with an accuracy of about 96%. Your mom was so proud of you for deciding to play on and try for the win instead of drawing. (Passer)

[@danward8720]

Congrats, Anna. You weren't intimidated. Love the last 4 moves. The clock knock was one of two things. Either she was just flustered or was trying to knock you off your game. Proud of you sweetie. You had the discipline to stick to your game and not get distracted.

Congrats on the win Anna, I thought maybe you were going to have time issues (again) but you went for it and got a big win! GL for the remaining rounds!

"Things that make you go Mmmmmm..." It's not the hitting of the clock, it's the move of the bishop once the distraction occurred. Classic pick-pocket technique.

The sequel to "Finding Nemo" is "Beating Nemo until she has a nervous breakdown and starts to cheat!"

[@Tianzi38]

First, congratulations to Anna on a masterful win! 🎉 If you watch Nemo carefully throughout the match, she looks increasingly uncomfortable and unfocused. At one point she appeared to be shaking or trembling. I would guess she was experiencing anxiety. I would not be surprised if Anna intentionally took absolutely as much time as she could between moves because she realized that Nemo not only has lost her ability to maintain focus for an extended duration, but also that Nemo would become even more distracted and anxious the longer Anna took between moves. The internet makes “goldfish”out of almost all of us. Poor Nemo has lived up to her name 🎣.

We can see Nemo deliberately repositioned her bishop after her panic move to a black square when Anna was looking the other way.. 😮.. Sometimes it's the honourable thing to just accept defeat on the battlefield...

[@zetvanzacharias9553]

To me it looked like she was short on time and losing, so deliberatly creating a fuss to gain time.

[@nahqiv]

It absolutely isn't what happened. The piece swirled around after she let it go, and she knocked the clock over because she was in a hurry to hit it in time. That's all there is to it.

[@zetvanzacharias9553]

@@nahqiv She moved it obviously to f4 (and it swirled to g4) and then pretended she played Bg3. I will never in my life forget what Nemo did here. Let me put it this way: she could not make a legal move in time so she should have lost the game. But got away with it all by creating a fuzz.

[@eloerch7]

Nemo acting like a NYC hustler, moving her bishop to an illegal square while "accidentally" knocking over the clock. Seems shady to me.

[@CeceMelchor]

Sometimes things like that are subconscious cause your brain is trying to find how to win but can’t. I don’t think it was intentional.

[@tim8679]

Moving her bishop to that illegal square would be extremely stupid for her. Illegal moves always give a time penalty when the opponent realized what happend. And even if Anna did not realize what happened. The illegal move did not improve Nemos position at all, it would have made the win even easier for Anna. And about the clock. Most OTB players hit the clock quite hard when they only have seconds left. Anna also would not have lose any time because of that. Any arbiter would give Anna the time back that she lost. She might even get more time back (but I dont know the exact ruling about this situation). Also arbiter decisions always give you a lot of time to think so even if she did not get any extra time she would still had more time to think about the position. In short this "shady move" would have never improved nemos situation. It actually made here situation even worse because she lost her only chance of drawing. Anna blundering because of time trouble.

[@eloerch7]

@tim8679 but she did move her light bishop to a dark square before knocking over the clock..a square that attacked a pawn and the king.. how do u accidentally do that??

[@voidseeker4394]

​@@eloerch7cheating with illegal move. Against WFM. On the game that is streamed and recorded for large audience. No sane person would intentionally cheat in this situation - probability to get caught exceeds 100%.

[@tim8679]

​@@eloerch7 Quite simple. You have two seconds on the clock and you dont want to lose on time. So you panik. This typ of situation is very common in OTB chess. And it never helps the person who made the mistake. Because their opponent usually gets extra time because of it. Everyone who ever experience OTB time trouble will understand Nemo in this situation. But I understand that this type of stuff does not happen online.
