Really enjoying this video style! Its almost like a day in the life and its so refreshing to see especially in the chess community.

[@Lindastyle]

I agree 100% ❤ I love this style

[@Musix4me-Clarinet]

Let me join the "Love this video style!" crowd. Good investment of time and money, Anna. And, of course, congrats on the win.

[@stevepan9896]

Same I love it

[@wconradjr]

It’s more like reality tv so long as it stays reality…. ;)

[@hylens5111]

She is such a sweetheart.

[@sarangg18]

Loved it when Anna clarified that it's "kukkurukku" instead of "kikkirriki"😂

[@Benjamin-yq8yl]

In Germany it is Kikiriki😂

[@mizofan]

Reminds me of Cucurrucucu Paloma (sung by Caetano Veloso my favourite version)

[@csabakolozsvary8593]

for instance in Hungarian it is often "kukuriku" xdddd

[@EllisThings]

Arrested Development vibes haha

[@alejmora]

Every language have a different interpretation of the sound that the roaster makes. In spanish is 'Quiquiriqui' or 'kikiriki'

[@uwkkojak]

Pia is once again smashing the stream. She is going for the streamer of the year award xD

[@tonidue9317]

I’d vote for her 💯

[@JosephMilner-ms7pp]

@@tonidue9317 see i dont have twitch, but i can imagine her commentary, and she has such a soft, well thought out narrative voice.

[@bobdog4379]

Pia is Ace.

[@Brandon-1]

She seems lovely but you can't beat Juan. After that video they did playing the same position I just have Juan living rent free in my head. "No I take, I take" 😂

[@cdtaylor2]

Pia is the GOAT at the commentary. The way she keeps up the enthusiasm and the energy is incredible. And when Anna does well she gets so excited. After Anna played a particularly nice combination In this game Pia literally said “SHE MAKE ALL THE GOOD MOVES!” It was amazing

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

Pia is really amazing - she analyzes every play made by both players. So through about so many options.

[@bruceching4078]

Do you have a link to where she does that?

[@zacharysherry2910]

Grandmasters can see from the other side of the board like it's the same as theirs. Incredible.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

​@@zacharysherry2910 It is amazing to me. I learned about this but to see it in action as Pia goes through future moves and possibilities as the game goes on it is just amazing. I have never seen this ability before although I had heard about it.

[@zorkmarble]

I was watching this game live, and I too thought you were getting crushed in the middle game. In fact I felt a bit sorry for your opponent, as I’m very familiar with that feeling of “almost beat a strong player but somehow let them get away”. Still, I’ll be rooting for you again this evening!

[@mikecf1]

Where's the COW!?

[@Ultra-Violet]

Haha maybe a bit risky 😅 would be funny to see though.

[@rolandcooke]

Can Pia's commentary be posted as a KZbin video, would make for a great companion piece. :)

[@BadDubII]

Ive no idea how to play chess, but its always fun to watch someone explain something they are passionate about

[@MrDanielfff777]

Why dont u learn

[@toriless]

Sometimes she gets TOO excited.

[@OdhinnAwake]

I feel the same way about Lit Up by Buckcherry.

[@AndresGomez-ct7qb]

In Spanish Roosters do go "Quiquiriqui"... Well, at least that's how it's spelled out in children's books in Venezuela/Spain. It varies, same way in English people say a dog's bark is "Woof" but in Spanish "Güao" 😂😂😂

[@MikkoRantalainen]

It's interesting how differently rooster's sound is written in different languages. Here in Finland, it's spelled "kukkokiekuu".

[@AndresGomez-ct7qb]

@@MikkoRantalainen Interesting. Finnish is a tremendous language, tho. I tried learning it so I could read Mika Waltari's books in the original language... Had to give up sooner than expected.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@AndresGomez-ct7qb Yeah, as a Finn, I wouldn't recommend learning the language. It's needlessly complex for historical reasons even though it has one good idea: the same letter has always (practically) identical pronounciation and there are not concepts like silent letters. If a Finnish word contains 7 letters, you pronounce 7 letters. However, English with improved pronounciation rules rules to make pronuncation match spelling would be way superior language. May drop the sex from the pronouns, though.

[@AndresGomez-ct7qb]

@@MikkoRantalainen Yeah, and the grammar was a hell of a challenge. Spanish is my first language, tho, so phonetically it's more natural so pronunciación wasn't that much of an issue. It didn't help that pretty much every Finn I've met has told me not to bother learning it, and I even have a Thai friend that has worked in Finland for three years, got her PhD there, and still hasn't learned it 😂😂

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@AndresGomez-ct7qb Native Finns that haven't sacrificed any real thinking on the Finnish language seem to think that Finnish grammar is simple but there's a lot of weird stuff. For example, let's take "kissa" (cat). The plural is "kissat" (just add -t, right?). However, the plural of "poika" (boy) is not "poikat" but "pojat". And then you have to say "poikien kissat" (the cats of the boys) so the genitive plural is yet different and doesn't have the "j" in the middle! However, "pojan kissa" (the cat of the boy) does have a "j". And that's just the nouns... each verb has a lot of inflection forms because Finnish doesn't use prepositions so all the information needs to be encoded in inflection forms. For example "kävellä" (to walk) can be transformed to "kävelisitteköhän" (I wonder if [plural] you would walk) vs "kävelisitköhän" (I wonder if [singular] you would walk).

[@jakeb2877]

Great win! I love the commentary!!

[@Cba409]

I love how this channel turned from learn chess with anna to learn anna with chess. ❤

[@bonnie_rose]

😂 So true!

[@marcozuaro6854]

Love this format! These days I've been looking forward to your daily vlogs and I really enjoy them, good luck for the games to come💪💪💪

[@naaahevers2093]

Love your energy and enthousiastic vibe😃

[@gabrieltupper1623]

This reminds me of how I play chess with my grandad and it's always an interesting game like this, your high quality explanations and clear representations of the value of each position is very nice. Keep it up, I'll continue to look forward to your videos

[@robertakerman3570]

Gabriel Tupper, You know how lucky You are, Gramps is as well.

[@toriless]

and it is slow enough to follow unlike Levy.

[@cdtaylor2]

So happy for your win Anna! My kids and I’ve been watching your games with Pia’s commentary; so instructive. It feels like you’re playing really well! Best of luck in the next game!!

[@dostoievski2]

Acá mirando tus videos desde Japón antes de irme a dormir como si fuera el mundial de futbol. Creo que jugue 3 veces en mi vida pero ahora siento que sé cosas jajaj Mucha suerte, Anna!!!! y que te diviertas

[@ruthxk7844]

Hey Anna, thanks so so much for these recaps!! Me encanta verte re-florecer en el ajedrez - aprendo mucho (no suelo jugar d4) y estoy disfrutando mucho de verte aprender, compartir, vivir... yo estos días estoy jugando mis primeros torneos no-elo y verte me acompaña y me inspira. Un reinstanciado camino de aprendizaje, very exciting, nos espera!! Felicidades y gracias por compartir :') ¡Brillas con luz propia!

[@exdejesus]

Great win! You were able to recover well from some hard positions! Congratulations!

[@MelanctonYates]

As a parent of children who play competitive sports, watching Pia stress out about your clock was so relatable! Her relief and joy after each great move was such a pleasure to witness. Also, the free lessons from her commentary are priceless.

[@FearNPanic]

They aren't free. You have to pay to watch her.

[@toriless]

Anna spends 80% of any move talking.

[@alessandrocanal6184]

I love this vlog/recap style of video, they're more enjoyable

[@whodeeni]

loving the vlog style video, great content :)

[@bryceb3194]

Congrats on the win, Anna! 🎉 Loving these videos!

[@Ichigo_1026]

Thanks for sharing your daily games Anna. Good luck on the rest of the tournament 🥰

[@Ultra-Violet]

Cool video Anna, really enjoyed the game yesterday, was a bit surprised when it ended lol 😅 Your mum was amazing as usual 👍🏻 Looking forward to today's game, starts in an hour, lets go lets go 💜

[@toriless]

Best parent and child videos in all of chess.

[@pjhuang2971]

Good luck with the rest of the tournament,love ur videos 👍👍

[@GigiPerla]

So happy for you Anna! Congratulations! Do something like this again tomorrow! ;)

Terrific game and format Anna!!

[@joshthomas1693]

“I sacrificed my pawn because I realized it was better to sacrifice my pawn than my king”. I love Anna’s sense of humour

[@thijs199]

I'm glad you have come in my feed, I appreciate you quite a lot. Thanks for your great content

[@barrywebber100]

Congratulations on a good win Anna. Thanks for posting.

Well done on a great win, love these type of videos 😊

[@obscurity3027]

Congrats Anna! Awesome game!

[@elrevesyelderecho]

Good to see you have time to do good editing video considering the time it's needed

[@user-ru3im9rd6b]

After watching the "daily activity montage", I can't get the idea out of my head that the 2 leg extensions (or whatever) that she did were her entire workout and not just a fragment for the montage! Anna, your enthusiasm for chess and general happiness is infectious. Thanks for the content.

[@EpicKillstreak]

Congrats Anna, your vlogs are amazing, keep them coming! : 3

[@joshjje]

Your videos are wholesome and entertaining, congrats.

[@aceweb]

Great win Anna, your moms commentary is brilliant, it's great to get in the mind of a GM and see how they analyze all the moves, go Pia! 😎👍

[@TheLeopard2A6]

she is more like a fm now but still stronq ))

[@truesounds6470]

Well done! Great video edit too 👌

[@rogerw1521]

Congrats Anna! Prefect preparation!

[@mydailywalkindeliverance]

NEV-ER!!... in my life did I EVER think I would be watching chess videos. No disrespect to the game but I just NEVER...found it interesting. Enter Anna Cramling!! What a bright and shining personality! You bring life to the game with your unique likeability, and social skills. WHAT??? CHESS IS FUN???!! Now I look forward to watching your chess videos. NEVER would have thought.....I'm hooked now....thank you Anna for capturing my interest long enough to discover what an amazing game chess actually is.....I am persuaded to learn how to play chess. :)

[@MikkoRantalainen]

I totally agree. Then Anna and Levy changed by mind.

[@rogerwarr4673]

Heck of a game! Nice one

[@kevinflick61]

Congratulations on your victory & today don't worry about when you become a grandmaster because I believe that is not too far in the future. You seem to be very confident and dedicated to becoming the best player you can be. May you be successful in the next match👍👍👍

[@rodrigoffdsilva]

GG! The beginning of the video looked like one of those 80's movies like Karate Kid where they show the main character training with a very 80's song in the background. Very good! 😂

[@Maulik_TheRealOne]

Love this type of content!

[@cconnon1912]

Good stepping through and also showing your uncertainty with each move. 😇

Anna is me before tests, predicting the exercises and studying only them.

[@TJ700]

Love that big smile and sportsmanship at the start.

[@boulderk1n254]

I'm not much of a chess player, but I really enjoy watching your videos. I learned about the en passant move today, never seen that before!

[@toriless]

It is mostly useful mid-game when the pawns are advanced and your other pieces are developed.

[@mathnbb]

Opponent makes a mistake: Anna: "I felt really excited" Opponent blunders queen: Anna: "This puts a smile on my face" Opponent dies: Anna: "I'm ecstastic" 🤣

[@user-wj1li9sl2p]

I laughed louder than I should! ))

Well done for winning the 3rd game! Best wishes for the rest of the tournament.....you rock , in a chess stylee !!

8pm start for a one round per day tournament is a little bit unusual. What do you think of it, rather than a more normal 3pm or so?

Slightly off topic: I really, really like the colors chosen for the chessboard game review. The muted shades of blue and beige are absolutely perfect and easy on the brain. Would like to see those used for future default colors. Nice game and great review!

[@timtreefrog9646]

That makes sense. I think for the majority of colourblind people, red and green look the same (they look kind of greyish.) Having this as a blue 😂(instead of the usual light green) is far more accessible for more people 😊

This is really cool, seeing the thinking process of the plays is awesome, and also knowing that even at this rate you can miss gives me a little hope xD (of course these mistakes are not my mistakes, my mistakes are waaaaaaaay worse 😂). Congrats!! 🎉🎉

[@toriless]

Playing bots I can tell you a 1200 one can be beaten with mistakes but even 1600 if you play over 80% the rest of the game, not true for 2000. It took me 90% to beat one.
