Decisions that change your life | Anna Muzychuk | TEDxAmposta

[@marcobettoni]

Congratulations for your decision, Anna Muzychuk! All my respect and admiration!

[@gavinjones8543]

She showed amazing humility by not going to the World champs! I dont think people realise what a self respectful and brave act this was by her. I respect her greatly.

[@RyanEmmett]

Great talk. It's shameful how many hateful and misogynist comments are here.

[@Ken.-]

Yeah, but there all from just one guy using multiple accounts. So not really that many.

[@tttITA10]

This lady was my chess player younger self celebrity crush. I am now completely out of the chess world, but I'm so proud to have learned about the stand she took against a discriminatory dictatorship. Such a role model

[@nalinsav]

Deep deep deep respect for your decision Anna... I have a lump in my throat as I write this.

[@YtubeUserr]

I have a lump elsewhere as I write this.

[@BadHabitMarco]

Way to stand up for yourself, Anna! Great talk, and the fact that you appeared nervous at times just underlines the importance of, and your stance on, the topic. Thank you!

[@paper_man]

I admire her attitude, a lot of people have principles, but very few are willing to stand by those principles and sacrifice something important, like Anna did sacrificing prizes, individual accomplishments and acknowledgment. This kind of attitude is what society needs if we want to change things.

[@jpr3665]

Authenticity and courage on display

[@2Oldcoots]

A Brave Champion to inspire all of Humanity!!

[@antonfrench1988]

Great video. Anna is a chess champion and great speaker.

[@nikhil24ify]

She is an amazing human being !

[@gos4343]

Well done for taking a stand when many would simply take the money and run.

[@arthurdolle5257]

My deepest admiration for you for following your principles instead of the money of a tyrant and probable murderer. I wish the U.S. golf industry with their little balls could have had that integrity.

[@andris1979]

Очень смелый и честный поступок! Чувствуется как не просто было выйти на публику и заявить всем что у тебя есть принципы, достоинство. Шахматная организация ФИДЕ заработала большие деньги на этом соревновании, к сожалению факт унижения части шахматисток был безразличен этим ... (не нашёл приличного слова). Браво Аня! Забей на всех критиков и делай то что считаешь правильным!

[@jackmcnamara9567]

I wish more people (me included) were like her

[@aniketkolte835]

Who is here after Sagar's Stream?

[@jasnaandjelkovic5475]

Wow, coool ! Aamazing young woman! Thank you for a lecture on atitude and diignity; and of course, listening of the Inner voice!:) Very lovely! Very Authentic ! :)

[@mykillmielia5640]

Great you and your sister stood up! Sadly completely kept under the rug. Only heard of it via agadmator back in the days!

[@selcuksancak]

BRAVO ANNA!

[@jsi11i]

Anna

[@TheLegija1]

bravo!!

[@sivadestructor3687]

She is a Gem

[@karynconner8526]

Thank you!!

[@1azip]

A queen not only.playing on the chess board. She sacrifices to win just as the play. Checkmate against women descrimination.

[@vishwajit9290]

Saudi isn't the most radical country though, by my knowledge it's trying to adapt to modern times. But much respect to her for standing with her principles.

[@avialbersbenchamo4797]

Only 704 likes for standing for dignity? Bad algorithm

[@YourMomatChess]

Great job Anna!

[@hilbertsinn6886]

Her accent is extremely thick, but I found it to be very charming.

[@paper_man]

@Mikkel Grabinski You have a lot of hate in your heart don't you? I wonder who hurt you.

[@catywilson8446]

You're a simpleton who isn't capable of forming a cogent thought, let alone trying to refute any of the clearly and obvious valid points I made. You're also projecting YOUR issues about being hurt. Go beg for attention somewhere else!@@paper_man

[@paper_man]

@@catywilson8446LMFAO

[@gavinjones8543]

Anna is a legend. Her accent is irrelevant.

[@MikhailGolubev]

just a great speech!

[@meganveronica5155]

ASMR gold

[@nicbentulan]

world chess champion? well... Mariya Muzychuk was women's world champion but hasn't reached 2600. Anna Muzychuk has reached 2600 but hasn't been women's world champion (but has been women's world runner up and women's world blitz champion). Balanced, I guess.

[@ayaxorozco7037]

eres la mejor anna; (you are the best! )

[@jacquelinemuzy6276]

Finally, someone else in the world has my last name!!! Can't help but wonder if we are related? (Funny how this was posted on my birthday as well!)

[@yankorusev]

Amazing

[@YtubeUserr]

Woman: Dignity, respect etc Camera man: Shows a close up of her chest multiple times.

[@ujjwalkurrey4605]

its awesome

[@cheznikos]

She's technically not saying that women and men are equaled. She's fighting for women to have equal chances than men. If that's her message, I can only applaud and I don't get the criticism. Women are definitely deserving to be considered as highly as men anywhere. It's too bad they weaken their message sometimes trying to prove they're equaled or better than men, which i don't quite understand; there's no purpose, it's meaningless and it's not a competition anyway.

[@micgant]

Hero

[@fatsole5402]

I think you should have played and won the championship and then express your feelings in a victory speech. In this way you have killed two birds with one stone.

[@hamiltonalcivar9553]

jajaja 🤣

[@liivikasaarman995]

And then? Show must go on? Where are the changes when people express the feelings and still obey the rulers? Actions secure results. How much attention would a plain speech bring? It would rather be silenced, covered up as embarassing situation and it would be seen as impolite attitude after accepting extra nice prize. A lot of people have principles, but few are willing to stand by those principles and sacrifice something important.

[@attilama5441]

SHAME SHAME SHAME on the International Chess Federation. Imagine they would give a championship in a country where there is war or a bad dictatorship, and some players would not go, as they say is unsafe. Money is the gamekiller.

[@ADMBPR]

islam... thank you Anna. be free forever and shine!

[@gracelandeau2664]

Yes, Gender equality I don't think we will ever see it but thank you for standing up to what you believe in...

[@ujjwalkurrey4605]

lovely

[@user-lp9ie7gn5q]

dubai must be paying really, really big money.....

[@ujjwalkurrey4605]

wow

[@ujjwalkurrey4605]

nice

[@timothytraveller9044]

Can anyone explain why Chess has gender categories? What's the justification?

[@christopherg1288]

Well, technically it doesn’t. Women are welcome to compete in the open section of any tourney they just usually don’t at the highest level bc well, you’d have to ask them Edit: not the most precise speech, I mean technically it doesn’t have gender segregation I guess. It does ofc have gender categories

[@christopherg1288]

Well, no offense but I think it was a poor decision. Not like it really has any effect on anything besides your own finances. 😐😬🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jonathanzhou1205]

When the amposta is sus

[@Elpistolero9]

Did you get paid by Iranian or Qatari Riyals?

[@dragandraganic4178]

Islam and Christianity made the same man greek-man Socrates.

[@mjelement89]

Islam its a curse......

[@jarallah068]

She lied, foreign women don’t need to cover theirself, she just trying to make bigger profits by doing such a thing like that. Shame on you Anna
