“I’ll Beat You Easily” He Thought…

I played chess against GM Jon-Ludvig Hammer whilst visiting the Good Knight chess bar in Oslo, Norway :) Even though his rating now is 2600, he has had a rating of 2705 in the past making him then a super grandmaster - hope you enjoy the video :)

Thats why i like Lennox Lewis, while i am not even fan of boxing. He plays chess for fun, and after his chess user name came out many good players and GM's wanted to play with him, and he accepted. And as result his rating dropped massively, as he did lose every single game of course

Anna, your time loss is only because of him playing the king unconventionally at the beginning, and trolling you for time. Your continuation draw is a sweet achievement.

[@lukaswolek7294]

It’s not a troll. I was prepping my lines in the Kingsindian Smirnov today and the engine randomly suggested the same move in a different opening. It didn’t make too much sense for me, but I saw that it was played by several strong players.

It is a friendly game and I'm sure both sides enjoyed conversation about this rare line of the game more than flagging

[@RG-gi7jh]

I wonder how it would have played out if time was never an issue? Actually, I don't. There's a reason he is a GM with a rating of 2600, she got lucky with a draw.

[@dowaliby1]

Hamer was right about what he said in the beginning, he is a Teddy Bear (the only teddy Bear I know of who's a GM, btw). Anna's draw has an asterisk by it, but clearly all the tournament play she's done lately has elevated her game. She has the talent, dedication and competitive spirit to become world class before long.

[@firstlast8085]

This draw was pure skill. When Anna's time was at 0:00 she found the stockfish best move, requesting to continue. It's a brilliant move, playing on the pride of the opponent who believes it's impossible for him to not win the game. Excellent play.

Guys even if she lose on time but by this rating difference he still didn’t win after he agrees to continue, it’s a social game after all with talking etc. that interferes with time as well, not just silently playing serious in a tournament, and they used the exact same time control despite their rating difference. don’t spread so much negativity.

Then he was trolling her about checkmating her at the end, when he couldn't, which caused her to lose her last 3 seconds, at which point he only had 31 seconds on the clock. He had no choice but to accept her proposal to finish the game. Anything else would have been unfair in the circumstances, since he was clearly trolling her to make her lose on time, as he freely admitted he was trying to do.(7:05),Anna,, 'So you're telling me the only way to proceed here is by beating me on time?' Hammer, 'I mean it is the classic way of beating you, no?'
