How My Mom Won A GOLD MEDAL At The Chess Olympiad

My mother, GM Pia Cramling, won a gold medal this year at the 2022 chess olympiad in Chennai (India). This was her third gold medal in her life, and her first one since the 80's. She won the medal whilst being 59 years old and proves that chess is a sport of all ages. Hope you enjoy the video!

Ms. Cramling is obviously a charming person, but people may not realize given her humble bearing what a strong player she is and what a successful career in chess she has had. Although she was never world champion, you can easily put her among the top 20 women *in the history of chess*.

[@Khedran]

She is definitely very humble, "yes you could do this" "that move is OK too" meanwhile she's a shark when she plays

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I don't know why we should be humble if we are good at something. I think it is fine to trash talk and tease if you are good, get in their head, part of any game. It is the people who are not that good who should be humble. I say, if you are good, you earned it,---and it would spice this game up a bit with some characters. :)

[@csquared4538]

@@EarthSurferUSA I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but when you're good the chess can speak for itself.

[@marcocroci3504]

Pia, awesome woman. ❤️🇸🇪. Respect for your mom. You are lucky girl.

When mom is lowkey genius and just speaks so humbly about her play

[@adnanebelfaquir]

Yes such a humble woman

[@jonatanwesterberg]

When I started playing chess everyone talked about this up and coming 19 year-old. 40 years on and still crushing

[@davidlevan9335]

I love the relationship between them ; their rapport and the mothers calm explanation.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I saw another vid with them together, and Anna could not sit still. Just about bouncing off the walls. I think her Mother just gave up knowing she will slow down someday. :)

PETITION for GM Pia Cramling to start her own YT channel. We can learn so much from her 😊

Pia Cramling ASMR 😁

[@chrismarsden8958]

[@HundredPercentLuck]

Your mom is so sweet.

[@greghuang2314]

Pia has been one of the top female players in the world for four decades and counting! What a true legend; it takes a lot of hard work, stamina and love of the game to stay so strong for so long! I love the videos featuring Pia!

[@sadderdays5613]

Seeing someone get happy about learning chess from their mom is absolutely awesome.🥰

[@karlomagnoguadalupe4843]

GM Pia is my favorite Cramling, still very sharp! Amazing player!

[@accesspanels]

Super fun and clear analysis. Really enjoyed when Anna was guessing moves and Pia started quizzing her. Great content

[@Philson]

Totally deserved the Gold Medal. Bravo!

[@AndrewWatsonChangingWay]

Pia is a wonderful coach: challenging questions in a gentle tone,

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I don't listen to tone much. I am busy understanding what is being said. Maybe that can make me harsh sometimes myself, but maybe others are too damn sensitive? No no no! I did not mean you are sensitive. Really. :)

[@kffpruductiuns]

@@EarthSurferUSA When you have to reach all the way to space to give yourself a compliment and call someone sensitive...

[@bipmix]

Anna just loves the feeling of knowing that she has this really nice and soft spoken but super smart mom who quietly crushes people

[@ianstewart8993]

Your mom is adorable and brilliant

[@briandoile5011]

Super impressed with Pia Cramling. She is astonishingly good. Wow.

[@decached]

I can listen to Pia all day long.

[@Earnaout98]

man your mom is super sweet

[@Rajendrajoshin]

Your mom is really a good teacher, I love the way she explains chess games. Everything seems so clear and she makes chess look so easy, which we all know is not.. 🙂🙂🙂

[@sjk4263]

I love the videos with you and your Mama reviewing games, they are incredibly informative and enjoyable to watch. Congrats to Pia on the gold medal, what an absolute boss. I'm happy to see good things happening for good people. All the best to you both!

[@alessioiacovoni9487]

She is so sweet! I totally agree with the previous comment… she seems so humble…at a time when other top chess players are so full of themselves.

[@abhi739]

congratulations GM Pia Cramling, you also have a heart of gold

[@dragon__soup]

Pia is a positional master. So instructional for me despite being a relative beginner, especially as a d4 player. Gotta control e5!

[@genesisx4]

Amazing! You seem to have such a nice family!

[@raymondstonkus913]

"You make chess look so easy!" yes, the great ones do make it look easy.

[@germanoscheller5095]

Maaann that is a good lesson. Thank you so much Pia and Anna!

[@user-iz1fx3fn5j]

It was an amazing game and victory. thanks for all Pia have done in her carrier. Probably, this victory is one of the most important achievements in sports of all time. It's hard to imagine what kind of will you need to have to remain a world-class sportswoman (and win 🥳) for so many years

[@Metz9031]

what an awesome mother. you lucky daughter. great mom skills. great teacher. calm and cool.

[@dmw0077]

I love these videos. Am learning a lot and playing a lot more chess now than I am other computer games. But most of all, I just love how likable everyone is--this is such a fun, positive channel to watch.

[@lukebrennan5780]

I enjoy these sessions with your mother immensely! So nice, so much information.

[@williethomas5116]

That charming lady and disarming smile Pia has is amazing. She is a woman who you can't help but love and respect.

It is so instructive to listen to Pia explaining her games

[@simkool77]

Thanks for this recap!

[@cesarandrescastellanoobreg6287]

Admiro enormemente a tus padres, ambos son leyendas del ajedrez. No te puedes imaginar lo que me congratula que Pia Cramling consiga los resultados que está obteniendo a una edad inusual para la práctica del ajedrez. Felicidades, ojala coincida con ellos en algún torneo para pedirles a ambos un autógrafo, me haría mucha ilusión.

[@garynovak7977]

I will never get over Pia. What a mind for chess. And a kind soul.

[@MultiMarcd]

Wow !!! Merveilleux. Merci Anna pour ce vidéo avec Pia. The good things about that game is that i'm studying the Dutch Leningrad presently and the b3 pawn move is just really good. I love the way Pia comments and explain the game, it's so clear ... I don't know Anna if i can make a request, but i would like to see a game with th Stonewall ... and (i know it's crazy but) a Budapest Gambit game. Merci Anna and continue your good works.

the "but this is your good bishop" moment

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I gave you a link to the engine I try to play with an offer to beat it a couple vids ago, (I did not check for a reply yet), "Gametop, Grand Master Chess 3", and I found something you will like about it. At the easy adult level, it has a nasty London and covers the squares well, and moves fast. But on the next 3 higher levels is takes some "thinking" time. I just got smoked by the Grand Master level, but it takes about 2 minutes to make each move at the top level, (including the first move for white. It is not broken.), which is nice for my study time too. Your Mother seems like a very nice lady. Doug in Michgian

[@tewz1]

The videos w/ your Mom are my favorite ones! She's so logical & I love her explanations. She really helps me understand this game better. It's not enough to be a great tactical chess player, it's imperative that you have a strong position. A solid position will help your game, a weak position will hurt it. In that way, you'll be fighting it as well as your opponent! All things being equal, the player w/ the better position wins!

[@tewz1]

I see why your Dad looses! ;p

[@TheDoxxistor]

Anna, this should've been your first video after the olympics. In these types of situations it is super imnportant to release the content asap when stuff has just happened and things are still active. Maybe not even analyzing every game, but just a hype video about the medal and maybe a game and I'm sure it would've gotten a huge amount of hits. Just a friendly suggestion for the future :)

[@davidcarr9772]

Well done Pia! There is no more Judit but you are still playing and were number 1 female in 81 I believe. Year I was born

Great, but that girl's name is actually pronounced "roobers", because it's Dutch and oe is "oo" in Dutch spelling. She's only 15 or 16 years old.

[@user-cc7rm6vc2l]

I love your mom's appearences in videos and I really loved her on Attack on Titan

[@EarthSurferUSA]

The problem with most YT "how to play chess" videos is, My opponent never does what yours does. I know it is important to learn past plays of the game, (and anybody could do that given time needed), but I am trying to develop a way of thinking that is effective with past chess play, and develops new play. That is how Bobby Fischer beat all of copy cat communism, as the supreme thinking individual. :) If he tried those moves as a child under communism, they would have slapped his hands.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

OK, Fischer was a nut case off the chess table as he got older. But what he did on the chess board as an individual, beating all of communism, is so noteworthy for our own freedoms, it is never mentioned.
