Guy in London Can't Believe He's Playing a GRANDMASTER

[@leechap3]

"I wanted to go for the mate" she says in her sweet voice. Humiliating you was not enough.

[@Mr12Relic]

"Peace was never an option"

[@Luca_9175]

Pia never fails to be the calmest person in the world while absolutely annihilating people.

[@caressegarcia]

I can see anxiety in her posture, but she is definitely humble/graceful. A pleasure to watch.

[@Nocturnalcuber]

I'd love to see a match between pia and Eric rosen and my prime attention will be in their calmness

[@octaviojosue117xxx]

​@@caressegarciayou sound like master yoda

[@stevec6002]

LOL, so true, love Pia.

[@jockez3581]

You don't annihilate people in board games...

[@YogeshRikhari]

Anna's mother is an extremely humble and kind lady. I really admire her as a person

[@amro4753]

it is clear ... and seems shy

[@playza6780]

"Thank you so much" for your complete destruction on the board!

[@spudjuice9314]

When it comes to chess, Pia takes no prisoners. Amazing as usual.

[@i.g.l.z.9215]

😂👍

[@kraqur]

Your mom needs her own channel. Her thoughts and breakdowns on matches would be it's own archive of awesomeness.

[@icollectstories5702]

And randomly destroying people OTB in her spare time.

[@Triple_J.1]

This can be arranged as its own playlist.

[@TurinTuramber]

Pia forgetting her glasses is the same as Gandalf *"you wouldn't deprive an old man of his walking stick"*

[@spacekip38]

Anna always just looks so proud when her mom's playing

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

With good reason.

[@iluminaa1]

True!

[@tambob82]

This Lady is so indescribably entertaining! I can't get enough of Pia tearing people apart.😂

[@i.g.l.z.9215]

😂🤎

[@prestontucker6171]

That was super instructive! So much defense and positioning. I saw moves I would make immediately, but would be blunders, but Pia was able to set them up for later to be absolutely solid! Thank you for posting.

[@markfelt5650]

God she's vicious! I had completely forgotten about that fianchettoed bishop as well my man!

[@jimsubtle886]

Pia just had that little nugget of extra set up all in advance

[@ayoubm]

The eval bar here is like sunset .. white is fading and black’s about to take over the night! Pia's magic !

[@gloamgirl]

I don't watch (or play) chess at all, but this channel appeared on my recommended and I've had such a thrill watching!

[@JaredViolinAustin]

Pia videos are my absolute favorite! She’s so kind and sweet but yet so ruthless on the chess board.

[@i.g.l.z.9215]

Exactly 🤩

[@vidstige]

Sweetest grandma you'll ever find. Goes for deep vicious attack ending unavoidable check mate. I love Pia.

[@michaelconcepcion5298]

Pia dominates the board like a true Grandmaster, turning every game into her kingdom. With every move, she commands the pieces with precision, strategy, and style, showing her opponents who's in charge. In Pia’s world, every game is checkmate waiting to happen.

[@i.g.l.z.9215]

The way she disabled the opponent's pieces and left him stuck amidst his pieces... impressive

[@Bokertko]

The Cramling trio is without a doubt my favorite chess family. Anna please make a video teaching the ponziani, playing it out in a couple of games with examples on how to handle different counter moves.

[@GöranSundholm-l4n]

Such a beautiful positional demolition of the London system!

[@jeystian]

Ese final "no no no" como diciendo "creíste que no tenía todo calculado? Oh ternurita, estás acabado" me encantó

[@Grawlix-P]

Literalmente enseñandolo que es mejor concederle el partido lol 😅 💀

[@maro2167]

Voy empezando en esto. Pero no entiendo el por qué no lo dejó hacer esa jugada

[@Frostbiker]

@@maro2167 Porque era un movimiento ilegal, debido al alfil en b7. Pia señala al alfil en 7:23

[@maro2167]

@@Frostbiker Gracias. Pasé por alto ese alfil

[@michaelbauers8800]

Qh5 was so unexpected to me. Great chess players see a lot of moves I would never consider though :) Then later, Rxf3. Another move I would have never considered. Lots of fun to see these aggressive ( but solid) moves.

[@i.g.l.z.9215]

Agree!

[@dohpam1ne]

Mrs. Cramling is the type of person who just exudes that mom energy that's very calming and reassuring

[@traida111]

she set up for fork for the knight, i could see it, he backed up his king to avoid it, but then she had set up another fork with the bishop. lovely

[@shahafshavit1114]

5:50 Ng5 optimizes a knight to a better square Qb5 by black to pin the knight to the queen Bxd4 removes the sole defender of the white queen, white can't recapture on d5 because black has Nh3+/Ng3+ check and win the queen. Kh8 is black's answer to the Nh3+/Ng3+ threat, allowing black to retreat with Bg7 and be up a knight

[@traida111]

@@shahafshavit1114 Sorry let me spend 10 minutes translating it otherwise I can't understand you your talking about. Knight to G5 optimizes a knight to a better square. Queen to B5 by black to pin the knight to the queen. Bishop takes on D4 removes the sole defender of the white queen; white can't recapture on D5 because black has knight to H3 or knight to G3 check, and can win the queen. King to H8 is black's answer to the knight to H3 or knight to G3 threat, allowing black to retreat with bishop to G7 and be up a knight. Ok I will look

[@traida111]

@@shahafshavit1114 Ok I cant follow that. What I was saying was at 5:57 she played knight to g5, attacking the pawn on F3. Currently only defended by a knight, but she got rid of that at 6:17 with her bishop. She is planning to sacrifice her bishop on for that F3 pawn, because if he takes it back she will fork the rook with her knight. He sees this and moves his king to protect from the fork. Couple moves later 6:52 he moves his rook to d1, which she immediately saw a new fork, instead of taking the same f3 pawn with bishop, she can use the knight instead and the bishop will fork the rook by taking on f3. But she didnt even end up doing it and did something stronger and whooped his ass.

[@shahafshavit1114]

@@traida111 i think you missed the idea. she did not took the knight on d4 because he is defending f3. she took it be cause it was free and black is unable to recapture it. i don't think it was about f3 really. i mean sacking a bishop on f3 would probably be good too. but the immediate threat was the potential loss of a queen.

[@traida111]

@@shahafshavit1114 why was it free? they could take back with the pawn? instead he moved his king, why would he move his king? the fork? im not very high elo, but I watch more chess than I play and after watching anna for a while I started seeing moves before she played them, which gave myself confidence, sometimes decent moves too.

[@BenH02]

Pia is the most terrifying kind of player to face, she is so happy and so sweet however otb she is just ruthless! I love it, GGs Pia

[@Alton7771]

I can kind of see where Anna gets all her Adorableness and positivity from

[@i.g.l.z.9215]

Handsome lad talking to Anna during the game, smiling and enjoying the game. Gives Giacomo Gianniotti vibes.

He repeatedly checks Anna out too.

[@CharlieMetcalf]

I am shocked that I guessed two of her moves. I would have 0 chance of beating her in a chess match. She is fascinating to watch.

[@fgdelrio]

La calma, voz y sabiduría de Pía, la frescura, simpatía y sonrisa de Anna, todo esto unido por el amor de ambas por el ajedrez, hacen de estos videos y de este canal una experiencia única. Gracias y saludos desde Argentina!

[@monopoly5496]

Hey Anna thanks for dragging your mum here for the amazing content once again. I appreciate it :)

[@obscurelines]

That piece only defence of the king is not for intermediates like me! Jeez, so risky, but she has the calculating power to keep it safe.

[@SportGuyDMV]

That bishop was just chillin. I didn't even see it. Pia is so nice. I feel like she makes the best French toast 😂

That was brutal checkmate sequence. He could have prolonged it a little longer by taking the rook with his queen, but there's no point.

I like games where your king is completely safe but doesnt look like it should be because of lack of pawns around it, and there is active advancement on the opponent. Nice game.

For somebody that doesn't particularly care for Blitz, she sees many good moves very quickly.

Yea it's so impressive how she saw Bxd4 the instant he moved his queen to Qb5, and made the move after taking just another second to double check
