[@tehxenor]

the commentary was so good but the game was SO INTENSE especially at the end, my poor heart

[@iankemp1131]

Rather curious time management though (by both players) - with time running out it's often best to play a "good enough" move quickly and save a few seconds for a point when you really need to think and spot some tactics for or against you. A pity after some fine tactics earlier.

[@tentoetimo9578]

Knight c6 was a bad play. I paused video so idk what happened next as of yet.

[@JimBalter]

@@tentoetimo9578 Nc6 was of course *not* a bad move.

[@tomada36]

I know! I had to look away!

[@felipez7113]

I would not be surprised if we find out that the website actually gives women some sort of advantage, in the name of "equality". So that is why a guy who's just a 2100 can beat a woman who's 2400.

[@EpicKillstreak]

As a beginner player I wanted to say that I really apreciate the fact that you explain your every move and also show your move predictions or possibilities. That's great, please keep that in! :)

[@Wildhorn666]

I agree with this. I got so much knowledge from these!

[@redalert206]

As a beginner myself, I want to say thanks for doing the commentary on what you were thinking and the logic behind every move you made. I appreciate this!

[@Andreas-pt8le]

The way you manage to explain what you're thinking about and then the resolve the thought at the move, plus the mentality commentary is really good. Even someone like me that doesn't actively play chess can follow it.

[@AndresGomez-ct7qb]

This was Anna's funniest voice overs. Love the shenanigans 😂 The tense music makes it all the funnier when she just says, "I'm drinking Coca Cola"

[@UnpopularOpinion42]

Yes! I really like the commentating and thought process breakdown

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

...and "shaked" maybe 3 X. Beats the "Hokie Pokie"(ha-ha).

[@drakaryscr8890]

Nothing else

[@Skafiskafnjak51]

so disappointed.. OG (original Grandmaster) Anna would drink whiskey 😂

[@Gorf_Denroh]

One of AC/DC's best songs. "You Shaked Me All Night Long"

[@RomulusReemus]

Love the colored arrows combined with your thoughts - yes definitely do more of these kinds of reviews

[@ddleee]

liking how you voiced and illustrated the moves and possible moves

[@dianagentu7478]

Agreed!!!

[@iTzRhythm1]

I've been watching some of your video's recently and you often pop-up on my reels. This video made me subscribe. The voice over, the gameplay and the entire video was so intens but also provided so much knowledge. Watching you play and hearing your toughts/explanation really pushed me as a chess player!

[@gazbhullar9751]

Great vid, im so glad that it randomly popped up on my feed. The description/commentary is amazing and the detail you provide is quality! By far the best reality TV ive ever seen. Great to see what it actually looks like to see 2 good chess players compete.

[@WilliamSt.Clair1399]

This feels like an old detective movie voiceover. Love the vibes.

[@reezellthia]

Chess noir

[@tedlis517]

There are a thousand stories in the naked city. None of those stories was relevant as I stared at the 8 by 8 grid and the pieces in front of me. My opponent could have been nameless and faceless for all the good those tidbits helped me. Somewhere, somehow I had to come up with a new plan to thwart his attack. Both clocks silently conspired against me. Skill or time will tell.

[@gillsejusbates6938]

she learned storytelling from wirtual

[@jeffhill1877]

The voice over/narrator style is a welcome addition to your content. Well done.

[@pezkins]

Best way to show your thought process. Really enjoyed watching it in this format!

[@fmz4994]

one of the best Blitz videos I ever saw! Actually THE best Blitz video I ever saw! The mixture of analysis and live experience combined with the silence and the music and also the whole dramaturgy of it. Please explore that format further, it’s really unique!

[@keramidasnicolas2079]

👍

[@ryanhorwood]

I love this style of commentating Anna. This is amazing

[@Andytec22000]

the music makes it more memorable

[@Diserpier]

Uff Anna, muchas gracias por compartir esta partida y en la forma en que lo piensas con los colores y las flechas, es algo que siempre estuve esperando que algun comentarista de Ajedrez lo agregara a sus historias para verlo mas visual y lo has hecho genial. Eso sirve muchisimo!! Me suscribo con eso

[@seancolmes7527]

this is a great video - very instructive and helpful commentary by Anna. I hope for some more like this in the future.

[@RoAgVa]

I want to let you know that I really enjoyed this voice-over, really enjoyable and explainatory

[@ContagiousCo]

I love that you show loses and wins! In Chess most of us lose a lot 😂😂 so thanks for being transparent

[@dianagentu7478]

This was wonderful commentary - I felt for you and we all came along for the ride - the pace makes it easy to absorb and place myself in the position and think with you. It seemed to go for soooo long - the tension! You are wonderful - thank you Anna!

[@STBRetired1]

The most INSTRUCTIONAL chess video ever. It's great when you can hear the thoughts of a top player as they are playing. Then you can compare what you would do and why they did the move differently. Love this video. Wish there were a hundred more just like it.

[@eliasquinteros5507]

Thanks for commenting on the video like this, it helps a lot to see what is thought in real tournaments. Greetings from Argentina!

[@tilo14]

Wow so nice to see an Argentinian, they are so funny and intelligent. Greetings from Argentina

[@maurobasualdo]

i can see we are all men of culture here, greetings from Tucumán land of the sanguches de milanesas

[@damtt4555]

Man i love Argentina, once i visited and never get back! Greetings from Villa Elvira

[@dalemiller7609]

The voice over was great! I wasn't sure who would pull it out in the end. He is indeed a strong player, it could have gone either way. I think this was one of the best ways to show a game. More please.

[@einfachiggi]

i had to say i didnt watch TOO much of ur videos, but this was really nice, i like ur clear voice in the voice over commentary, was good to watch and helpful with explanations :)

[@steeevealbright]

This content is EXCEPTIONALLY good. Real time game analysis with natural and humorous commentary blended in effortlessly. Just fantastic.

[@MikeytheGeek7711]

Most of your videos that I've seen have had you talking with your opponent the whole time, which I have enjoyed, but I also really liked this one in which you talked about your strategy and thought process the whole time. It had me thinking along with you and was educational.

[@homerdough5389]

That e6 push with the intermediate move was beautiful wow. Time trouble ruins us all ugh

[@kurtesimo]

Loved the voice over and explanation of positions! Very instructive and what a game! Wow!

[@Wildhorn666]

I was checking your videos from times to times, when KZbin was suggesting me chess game randomly (I don't usually watch chess games), but this video with the commentary + colored arrows makes me subscribe to your channel.

[@stevemotocrayz2892]

Your voice over is perfect. .!! The addition of the music to the soundtrack is perfectly done, and your graphics are absolutely fantastic... (especially valuable for us beginners). Thanks so much for what you do..😊 and by all means please , please, please keep taking the extra time on the editing, - it makes it triply enjoyable for us ..!!

[@savoith]

Definitely like the voice-over commentary. It's very helpful to chess students. Thanks.

[@AnthonyMartinez-fx8pr]

Every competition comes down to who makes the fewest errors. You didn't lose, he beat you.

[@robertvaughn3554]

This was instructive and excellent, please make more of this. It is interesting that you were giving a lecture, which Silman would be proud of you.

[@crazyauntieapril5380]

YES!!! Love the voice over with explanations and the alternative moves! Such an intense game to watch and so well commented and editted!!!

[@soppos9136]

Yes, please make more videos in that style

[@byybau]

being someone outside of the chess world with very limited knowledge of the game the voice over was really well done. i could think for mysellf about the moves at the same time you're thinking and you're saying enough for me to understand what's happening but not too much where i know what will happen even as a beginner i could think along with you through the game.

[@DSeisun1]

I could never lead in such a high level game but it's great fun to follow the leaders. Thank you. Voice-over is a great addition. I'll be visiting this bar when next in Paris.

[@bustaaa]

i love this voice over videos, the music, the thought process, everything. i learn a lot , please do more videos like this!

[@woodpusher9134]

Great game, Anna. I love hearing what you’re thinking on every move. It’s both entertaining and educational. And your sportsmanship is always exemplary.

[@uv77mc85]

Are you serious? did you not see her face? that was not sportsmanship.her face looked like a smacked ars3.

[@redminote7334]

I really liked this format. Serious but chill music, intense game with educational voiceover. Well done. Keep them coming

[@robbos7105]

Great commentary! I really like the way you provide amazing insights into the position…more please!!!

[@anonym2335]

That was so good. You almost won. Thank you for explaining your every move, I learn many tactics from your videos and hope I can reach a higher rating.

[@timelston4260]

I love this format! Perfect sound track. Commentary that helps us know what you were thinking. This is my favorite game video you have produced. Good game!

[@anthonyz7000]

The music was great for adding drama to an already dramatic situation!

[@lauragrigoriu2695]

this was amazing with the VO. i want more videos this wayyyyyyy

[@brianhabel]

Anna, this was great. I like your voice overs explaining your strategies during the game. I learnt so much. During the game some of the moves you made is what I would have made too. The back ground music you chose added to the tension so well. Great video. The only downside was that you didn't win, that was a pity. I like this format, so please do more like this.

[@user-fh3sk1fv3m]

I love watching your chess videos and this was one of the best! Only suggestion that I have, as a total beginner, is a post game analysis where you point out at exactly what you should've done differently there at the end when your time was running out.

[@cdugaw]

The voice overs and commentary are great. It really takes your channel to another level. Keep it up!

[@waynemiller6070]

I love the live analysis. And I like hearing what you're thinking about during the game.

[@oGsFateOfDestiny]

I really appreciate your chess games videos commented by you, which I find very pleasant to watch, especially since the level of play is quite good and because I also play 1.d4. I can’t wait to follow your next fights on the chessboard !

[@joeyyama]

I like the commentary of your thought process throughout the game. I like to know what you see as your opportunities and threats as you play. I mostly watch to learn.

[@abewickham]

Wow, one of the most exciting and excellently produced KZbin videos I've ever seen. Wow wow wow !!!!!!!

[@SteveSummerford]

As a Non-Chess Player, I appreciate the Commentary as I find myself learning some of the strategies and can sometimes predict some of your/your opponents movements along the way. Breaking down everything as you go is really helpful, and throwing in little stories along the way (like accidentally spilling your beer at the Londen Chess club) is entertaining. Thank you!

[@OtziOsbunr]

i loved the commentary - it really helps to understand much more for me as a beginner. Please more of it

[@weeooh1]

Fun to watch Anna was good at stirring up the suspense.

[@Sixsoul]

Love the shenANNAgans!!

[@MrPaulsackaroff]

I really enjoyed the background music and the moments where there was no Commentary. It allowed me to really think. Great video Anna!

[@vargsvansify]

The way this was presented made the game super exciting, even for someone who barely knows how the pieces move. It felt so honest and intimate, like I was sitting inside your mind, spectating the game.

[@jeffreystoddard1522]

Anna, you make watching people playing chess sooo much fun. Thank you!!!!

[@user-eb9xu4pq8i]

Love the suspension. It's so tense. Love the silences. First time I've genuinely enjoyed awkward silences

[@fayskelley]

Love the narration. Thank you !!! 💕

[@tozag]

Great voiceover- I loved hearing your thought process

[@cougarmeat8803]

Yes more shenanigans like this please. It must be heart breaking having the clock pressure beat you so many times. I grew up with classical chess so I’d always lose with plenty of time on my clock 😀

[@calvineden]

Why i have never liked speed chess. I want to be challenged by my opponent not the clock. But that is just me.

[@StonedSidney]

Tough luck on the game. Really good presentation with the voiceover & the music. Shenanigans!!!

[@mrferro9945]

Wow, that was incredible!!! I really enjoyed watching, thanks for sharing.

[@InvestorsHeaven]

Love the detailed thoughts explanation, very informative. Nice.

[@krepver]

i like this format with voice over. This feels so intense

[@paulnoble2095]

His defence and counter attack was impressive.

[@JT-tz5hp]

Love this format! Makes for an exciting viewing experience!

[@lcobl8084]

I love your commentary and the intensity of it as the game comes to an end. I felt your excitement. As always, I love watching you play.

[@usaherobrine]

Wow, great game. I've come to notice that what separates a lot of good players from great players is strong endgames.

[@martincabreradiaubalick3330]

More matches with voice over, please. You get to learn a lot 😊

[@diamonds7504]

The Background choice of music was excellent the commentary and thought process ideas were clear and made the game more appealing .Nerves do play a roll in these things you lost be we all learned a great thing . Keep going strong its all a learning process.

[@jozekpavcnik7977]

As a low elo player this voice over was awesome,help understand why moves were being played. Hope to see more of this format!

[@deevnn]

Anna look up the meaning of "choke"...it is during a critical play when a person kind of freezes up with anxiety and plays poorly or just misses things. It's one of the reasons you have time issues. Just info, not criticism. I think you're a great chess player who is learning and getting better all the time.

[@letsrugem]

it was this moment that she knew. she fked up 🤣🤣 00:45

[@humanrightsadvocate]

I love this new format!! Keep it up!

[@ManuCarmona88]

You made all of this sound soo epic.Loved it!😊

[@nicolasgoossens]

Use this comment as an "Anna's blue top appreciation-button"

[@Speed99999]

I would rather click her cute small 6006ies

[@TheCikker]

I almost cry after that end. Your voice over comment are amazing, great job. Saludos desde Argentina.

[@legnaun3634]

I love the voice over, it makes it a lot easier to follow your strategy and to learn from it.

[@daninanestean]

Really enjoy this format. Keep them coming!

[@Michael-Ray]

I love your commentary and the background cinematic music you used, not only does it help me learn the game but it makes me feel like I'm watching an intense movie 😍😍

[@quintingoodman1287]

I love the commentary and how you explain what you're thinking. I don't play chess so this helps immensely

[@darrenchandler1985]

very impressive, well done! your passion for the game is very refreshing, keep up the great work!

[@geekcrossing7862]

I love the voice over. It makes it much easier to follow the game, plus it's fun!

[@chryomadzz4360]

I have never played a game of chess and i'm not sure how i found your channel because of this, but if you keep making videos of this style, i can feel myself learning how to play :) many thanks

[@bash44]

yes we need more games to be commentated like this and thank you anna

[@user-ez1bn5ze3v]

I love the fact that you're willing to comment on your games. win or lose. It really help me to have this insight as to how you think about the positions.

[@kaibasan1]

Yes I love this format and seeing your thought process

[@vladimirjuranic5621]

Great commens and music added to the feel of the intensity! I think you had a spark between the two of you as well! Great work Anna. Your videos are instructional and intense as chess should be an entertainment and sport. Well done you!

[@ButterflyDivotTool]

Commentating and hearing your thought process during the game is by far the best chess related game I have seen in years.

[@cristianrestrepo3343]

Amazing content. The music had my heart beating 😂 from the middle game til the end

[@justinwrich87]

Enjoyable as always. I like these videos/voice overs.

[@TheCharlesAtoz]

I love your commentary. Keeps the video action moving!

[@kourtnesdad]

I really loved this game, and the commentary was so spot on... bravo

[@northsidejeff9551]

That was Suspenseful. I do love the Voiceovers Anna. 😊

[@PhilipF]

I appreciate the commentary and showing different analysis ideas.

[@noname0858]

OUtstanding! Love the voice-over, the suspense, the entire presentation. I paused at times just for fun to make my own (terrible) moves and then see what you players did.

[@emilelandsberg2073]

Super intense game and great commentary. Thank you and well played. 🙏

[@ThomasHilverda-DePaolo]

I love the music and the commentary. Although I’m not a great chess player your commentary makes me feel like I understand the position better because you break down what is happening in an easy to understand way. I found myself finding moves that I probably wouldn’t have normally because of the narrative quality of your commentary! This was an interesting game. I think, there was an inflection point where you were deciding to pressure his queen. I’m not sure if it would have worked, but I thought doubling your queen and king-side rook would’ve been better than pushing that pawn, because it seemed to open up the position in a way that benefitted him with his bishop on the long diagonal toward your king. I thought it would’ve also taken the pressure off of you because it’s a lower level chess move, but would’ve kept the position solid, taken off time pressure and allowed you to push your sizable advantage. I enjoy these chess videos!

[@paulbailey4320]

You can tell a lot about a person on how they handle themselves when they lose such an intense and close game. You are a good person, and an excellent chess player! Bravo!

[@tedparkinson6892]

I really enjoyed the commentary. But the ending was all about the time left and pretty brutal. You made so many great decisions in the early and mid-games sections!
