The Cramling Gambit: A special kind of fork that guarantees that you either beat a GM or get a GM to advertise your opening. A truly brilliant move ‼️

[@Dave1507]

This might be this mysterious 4D-Chess that some people are talking about, only this time it's real.

[@GregHinz-jt6nq]

Stupid

[@user-bn3ut9jv7e]

This is not her opening. People have used it before she could suk on her mummas titties. Hikaru, for example.

[@DavidSmith-mt7tb]

This is actually called a Xanatos gambit, where with either outcome you win, just for different reasons

[@LukasDorian]

"So do you see the face?" "Yeah, I think so" ~Eric Hansen, definietely not seeing any cow on the board.

Eric Rosen played a whole online tournament with the Cow and he was impressively good. TBH he tried to remove the cow most of the time he once installed it.

This was gold. Funny, friendly, and Anna used a GM to advertise her Cow Opening. 🤣😂

The cow is stupid Anna , give it uo

[@SebastianSora]

I sincerely appreciate that you take the time to add subtitles to the entire chess game. There are people who speak another language and understand English a little if it is written. For me it is a way to practice my English and I am delighted to see your content.

[@celesefernal2490]

I love how Anna talked her opponent into playing the cow while she plays a normal opening

[@Patorc1]

Damn, she had no chance against that opening.

[@zw3565]

She tricked him lol. And that is how you put yourself in a win win situation. If Anna beat him then she beat a GM and if she doesn't she showed how good her opening she created is. Good video

[@UglyChileanDoorman]

The only thing Hansen missed is that when Anna said "I forgot that pawn existed", he's supposed to say "well, now it doesn't".

[@simplicity6564]

I like this guy. He is polite but honest about her opening. He's also confident, not cocky. There's a bit of friendly chest bumping going on.

Eye contact is hard for this gentleman.

[@alaexanderhawkins6324]

He knows that if she locks him in eye contact, he'll play like he's only 1500.

[@SpaceCadet4Jesus]

The last rule that Anna didn't tell Eric was that every fourth move the players have to go "MOOOOO" or it doesn't work.

[@Nautilus1972]

I love playing your Cow Opening in blitz chess and just watching my opponents clock ticking away (especially when I open as white)... it's almost unbeatable in blitz once this happens. Your first 10 moves are always so quick, no thinking, but your opponent must think. I was losing rating playing 10 minutes and longer .. thinking I was just getting so old and my brain was deteriorating. But in blitz, the Cow is KIng!

[@the98thcent]

I dunno what level you are...at 2100, I'm gonna just play similar to Anna, grab the centre and castle. Obviously a titled player would beat me with the cow but unbeatable is a strong word...

[@AliceLucindaBronte]

Two of the nicest people in chess.

[@DedBeretta]

He was playing chess, she was playing him. Awesome.

[@scottgriz]

I played the Cow Opening against my daughter who is learning to play. I’m a novice myself but it played really well and was fun to see how it could work even against someone who isn’t playing traditional openings. It went as you say. She gained control of the center but I was able to regain it soon after. I feel like a pro now. 😂

[@Insharai]

I personally love these style of openings xD king's fianchetto opening is the one I think I use I think ; with a similar intent to let my opp have as much space to blunder pieces as possible

[@wraithwrecker_]

The dry banter is so funny. Very entertaining game!

[@gabrielsteinacher6118]

I love how she wins her advirtising by letting him win. That's well played

[@elbigotesdelatienda]

I don't even play chess. I watch your videos because your enthusiasm and positiveness are contagious and you're lovely. I love seeing you play older people and kids, regardless of rank, but I swear all these high rank young dudes are a bunch of cocky a-holes...

[@trevorbrzycki6628]

That moment when he realizes the 5head ploy of him playing the cow and winning with it was just amazing

[@Verbalaesthet]

I mean I gotta give it to Anna, it is not easy to come up with your own opening that is playable.

[@hermaeusmora424]

She lost the match but won the war, by getting him to freely advertise her opening.

[@nerd26373]

Seems like you're both capable of doing great openings. We wish you all the best.

Ouch I could see the pain in Anna's eyes when she saw he opened up the file lol

[@janmolekula3900]

I bet Eric was shocked when he first saw Alexandra Botez opening too.

😲

[@zathras11b53]

Little does Eric know that Anna gets $1 every time the cow opening is played.

I love the dynamic & dare I say, “chemistry”? Nice to see this side of Eric, too.

[@bug_catcher]

I'm glad that Eric understood the atmosphere of what a roaming cow feels like as he played the opening.

[@slowbro-]

The cows are multiplying!!! xD

[@EZtheGreat1]

This was a fun vid he follows your flow really good

[@diegovd7215]

This was not a Chess game, it was a Psychological operation ^^ :)

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Cool! I must say that 1. It is good for fast play (staying low) 2. If you move both knights to the kingside, you can make more use of them (instead of one left and one right. 3. If you first fianchetto your queenside bishop, first move a3 second b4, then bishop fianchetto and THEN, you play the Cow, you get pretty good result. (You sac a and b pawn and exchange sac the q rook, and your bishop will prevent castling)

[@trassage]

By losing that battle, she emerged victorious from the war. There's a devious mind behind that charming angelic innocence :)

[@NoThanksblahhhh0751]

Yes but did she go into the match to intentionally lose ? I’m just curious because I can’t tell if that’s it or maybe she was gonna play to see how he plays her opening while trying to win... good video of course either way I just wanna end my need to know feeling.

[@xphilster]

@@NoThanksblahhhh0751 She did not lose intentionally. In fact, Eric is a GM and WAY above Anna's level, she doesn't stand a chance against that caliber of a player even when he plays a bad opening.

Honesty the best twist at the end I've seen in a while based on his expression in his eyes.

[@SchighSchagh]

Eric was a very good sport to be faux-confused the entire time; then at the end he legit could not work out whether winning the game was a good thing or not. well done Anna 🐮

[@NoThanksblahhhh0751]

I don’t think he was faking the confusion when he realized that at the end of the match. I they were talking through things with each other the whole match which he said was new to him. I’m guessing he probably dies not do social media videos while playing chess whatsoever, while Anna is very use to a lot of input and distractions... I’m trying to see him in a collaboration with the Botez sisters while Lev is screaming “the rook!”. Sensory overload for him but Anna can do that and not miss a beat. I think he was honestly new to a KZbin video while playing and trying a new opening and Anna doing some basic Anna trash talk asking him what he’s gonna do with His pieces etc... was all new and fun but the faux-confusion was just confusion imo.

[@wilhelmbeck8498]

When playing bullet - you might profit timewise, using this opening - All pieces covering each other - and stil reaching in to the centre via the knights for some tactical/exchange possibilities. May take a while to build up a repertoire of attacking ideas though.
