[@TJConcept1995]

Hi Anna Thank you for showing us the game, and yes, absolutely I did enjoy it!! It's very instructional having you explain and demonstrate essential chess principles from move 5 onwards and see how you took advantage of the space and strong centre. Perhaps the Nimzo-Indian 4.Qc2 line should be renamed 'The Cramling Attack' !

[@deborahclayton3101]

Anna, you’re a good sport. When you win you don’t rub salt into your opponent’s wounds and when you lose you learn from the experience and congratulate the winner.

That guy's rating is 1757. Anna's rating is significantly higher at 2061. Of course she "destroyed him" as she originally wrote on this video and then she changed it to "shocked him" after several people were offended by her original video title. Anna is 300 rating points above him. That's not a shock at all. She is expected to beat anyone significantly lower in rating.

[@howardtreesong4860]

There should be no shock involved in a 2000+ elo player beating a 1757 player. Everybody fully expects that to happen.

When I was in college, a friend of mine in the dorm liked to play chess, so we would sit down and play chess. I knew how to play - but I had never studied theory at all. So, after losing 3-4 games, I headed to the campus library to study up on chess theory. (This is where I learned about the Sicilian defense - which my friend hated when I played it). I also happened to find a small paperback on chess theory from Bobby Fischer. I found the book fascinating, because his entire theme was ATTACK. The book was fool of examples of how to attack from all kinds of positions. His biggest advice was always look for a way to attack. Watching this reminded of when I read that book. Great job in the tournament!

[@truthpopup]

It is better to play positional chess until you have developed your pieces and have accumulated positional advantages, before launching an attack. It is seldom a good idea to attack while you have pieces waiting to be developed.

[@sherryw1919]

Smart to study up! Ever the student here.

[@gheffz]

Well played, Anna. Bluffing the confidence and all.

[@rickrickard2788]

The two Anna's I follow finished 1-2, lol. Maybe you see now why I keep talking about NOT having, "fear", and not allowing it to have control of any aspect of your game- not even to say, "I was scared when". People can use this when they play against you- and as you finally said, LOOKING & APPEARING confident, is just as important as being so, at times. This goes for many, many things, in this life. Won't be long, I believe, before you win your first big tournament. Keep implementing BOTH of your parents games, and you continue to build yourself into a very well-rounded player.

[@sonericss]

the good thing I like about blitz is, you can watch it live and its exciting. with classical the only way I can watch it is with a ''Anna Cramling Edit''.

[@dr.floridamanphd]

Hello, Anna. I created a variation of the Cow opening I call the Manatee, or Sea Cow, opening 🤭. It’s not a great opening but I’ve had some success with it.

[@svetfeddersen9767]

Please explain the Manatee!!!

[@dr.floridamanphd]

@@svetfeddersen9767 the Manatee came about because I was doing the cow wrong 😂 From White you open 1d3 then 1e3. With your Cow you then play Nd2 Nb3 and mirror the King side, but on this I jump straight from Nb1 to Nc3 and Ng1 to Nf3. I then develop my bishops to d2 and e2 before castling. It’s a mess. I know. It’s big and cumbersome just like a manatee. It also doesn’t hold up very well to aggression. But if you confuse your opponent by this opening, and they play a little more conservatively, it’s possible to have some success. But if your opponent just goes for an outright attack it’s not going to hold up very well.

[@svetfeddersen9767]

@dr.floridamanphd I like that, thank you for sharing!

[@QuickscopingJew]

I hope the pun was intentional haha. Sea Cow, C Cow, Nc3 (a c knight, c cow) instead of Nd2

[@TJConcept1995]

@@dr.floridamanphd Have you tried doing something similar from the Black side? If you played one well known defence and had pawns on d6&e6, knights on c6 and f6, bishop on e7 this could arise from some lines in the Sicilian, e.g. Scheveningen!!

My favorite Swedish hero who didn't play Chess was Beowulf the man who hunted and defeat the Grendel. Beowulf means dog face beast; what we would translate into bear.

A good game, nice job. Congrats on the 2nd place. As you noted, confidence is a big part of success, and it sounds like this win also brought another important factor: momentum.
