I Asked My Grandmaster Mom Some TOUGH Questions

[@chess]

Anna and Pia content 🥰

[@SertapKuruyemis]

hello sigma chess

[@OnceUponATimeHappilyEverAfter]

Hello, Chess!

[@Matclrk8]

right, just perfection 😊

[@jayhegener3028]

Pia and Anna are some of my favorite people on KZbin. They are ridiculously wholesome. And Pia is a friggin beast!

[@matthewbrice737]

Agree. Love when Pia is live commenting on Anna’s games. “She moved f4! She moved f4! This is the best move. Oh, I’m so happy!”. lol. Awesome.

[@toaster4693]

They're a breath of fresh air.

[@jordanbeaver415]

Yeah absolutely such an amazing pair of individuals.

[@pauldutcher9105]

I love this group of streamers, Levy, Botez, Nemo, ... and if course Ana. But Pia is so sweet AND incredibly smart. Idk what Levy is thinking... Never mess with an very experienced woman like Pia! Lol in seriousness I'll greatly love the match regardless how it goes. Hoping Levy gets that GM soon.

[@שמעון-ק2ח]

Pia will win as she is a gm.

[@dprout3392]

A lovely lady, so gentle but tough and looking for a win, while smiling.

[@graces3321]

I seriously love Pia. She’s such a warm person

[@TheOscarFrancois]

Wish I had a mum like her…

[@shockerjason]

Anna and Pia are so pure. Always love watching them and their chemistry

[@hb20007]

Despite the title, GothamChess is discussed only in the first few minutes of the video. It is actually a fascinating journey through Pia Cramling's story and career.

[@ItsAsparageese]

Thanks for this heads up. I'd have been disappointed and clicked away, not because I'm disinterested in the content -- I'll for sure watch it later -- but because I'm in the mood for what the title actually implies, a more current-events and editorial/pop culture focus. Wish the title had been more accurate

[@Txetxo612]

I clicked for Gotham match but stayed for Pia.

[@ProuvaireJean]

To be fair, I doubt even a chess commentator as accomplished as Pia could spend 44 minutes finding different ways of saying "I will gently dismember him".

[@ItsAsparageese]

@@ProuvaireJean Very true lol

[@Fiffi_sound]

Just Annas Click bate😏 i thought it was cool hearing Pias journey to grandmaster. People were just expecting them do complaina Bout Levy? Never really seen them being mean.

[@observerone6727]

Look at the genuine smiles of those ladies ! Makes me want to play or watch chess all the time. 😊

[@xavosix]

Pia is amazing. Thanks for the interview Anna.

[@stagher]

My lord, the love and admiration that exudes from Anna towards Pia makes my heart burst in joy!

[@variousminx]

what a blessing it is having a mom you can look up to

[@alfredgarrett5065]

Thank both of yall for being such beautiful people. Pia's personality is just golden, I see where Anna gets it from. Best wishes from Texas

[@RobisonRacing68]

Anna’s very good at hosting an interview.

[@francesw.6774]

You can see how much Pia and Anna cherish each other and how much they love sharing their devotion to chess and the lives they have built around it. It's a joy to watch them together.

[@gchomuk]

It's so wholesome to see Anna talk about her mother's accomplishments. Hard not to love them both. You're very, fortunate, Anna. Don't ever forget that. Best of luck, GM Pia. I hope you sweep the games.

[@philcheychandler]

This is such a great video. Thank you for sharing your story, Pia. Best of luck in the tournament, all the way from Bangor, Maine, USA.

[@spudjuice9314]

I've never seen two more genuine and wholesome people in my life. 🎉❤

[@the_luggage]

How can you not adore this woman?! Amazing interview and life story, thanks so much for sharing 🫶

[@dzb1198]

What a lovely interview! So much love and joy Pia expresses in being a mother and sharing her experiences balancing competition life while raising a child.

[@potblack7951]

Pia..Such a wholesome woman..it’s clear where Anna gets her looks from too…will certainly follow the match against Levy with interest!

[@lroknrobn]

Pia is such a sweetheart, does she ever say anything negative except when watching Ana play?

[@jeffrey3498]

She’s a sweetheart, but she’ll rip your throat out at the board 🤣👍

[@frederikwordenskjold111]

She often mentions Annas lack of time management!

[@stevenrix7024]

Anna’s chess strength must be a disappointment to her two GM parents! But she does seem to be doing well for herself as a KZbinr…

[@BenjaminIdle]

​@stevenrix7024 this is a pretty ridiculous take

[@Hurricayne92]

Pia and Anna's relationship is goals

[@graces3321]

Such a sweet conversation. I love Anna and Pia ❤

[@s0meR4ndo0o0mNAMefuu]

it's so amazing, how you two can be sooooo cute and heartwarming and at the same time so professional and inspirational, it's just a joy to watch you and your Mummy!!!

[@wolflink9000]

How could you not love Pia. She won at life IMO. Has a passion and a family that she can share that with.

[@chugsmith9082]

Thank you so much for this beautiful interview

[@CloundCvnt]

Pia is such a beautiful and admirable woman. Good luck to her against Gotham

[@alejandropu]

Very beautiful interview and production. Tu madre es una mujer encantadora.

[@gchomuk]

Thanks! I've watched some of your videos for some time. Those which include Pia are special. You, Anna, nailed this interview. You both came across as genuine and loveable. Kudos. Good luck, gm Pia.

[@cherrylk4188]

The way I'm more excited about this than I was for the Olympics

[@Doutsoldome]

Oh, no comparison!

[@ChristineBurns-i4f]

Wow I enjoyed this very much. What a remarkable woman. Would love more interviews with the amazing Pia!!

[@AlanTov]

Pia is a star. Simple as that.

[@seanmckelvey335]

Love these two on screen together. One of the best dynamics in chess media

[@serdelosreyes]

Tu mamá se merece que le hagan una película o un serie de Tv basada solo en su vida y su relación con el ajedrez... bellísima!

[@georgeholly5489]

This was just about the most wholesome interview i ever saw! Pia is amazing chess player and even better human being.

[@Reneker]

wow! this was lovely, thank you so much for this wonderful interview!!!!!!!

[@gchomuk]

Good luck, GM Pia. I trust you'll emerge victorious. Respect.

[@juliel2488]

That was the most wholesome interview I've seen!! It was so wondeful to learn more about Pia and her journey in chess! Very awesome achivements and very inspiring! She shows you truly can do anything. Will be rooting for Pia and I think she'll win!

[@17daimon]

I love the way your mother plays! She is calm and can truly see all possibilities before making a move! I wish I have one tenth of such reading of the board in the future. Your dad is more adventurous and tactical! Great combination! Congratulations for your channel!

[@AnduNinicu]

Pia`s voice is like a hug to my heart !

[@BenjaminIdle]

Thank you both for existing and spreading so much positivity and warmth

[@TheGelZ99]

This was such an inspiring and moving interview. I just discovered today about Pia, and felt in love with her inmediatly, she is so gentle and heartwarming, absolutely a legend. She deserves to be the center of the video's title. Hopefully it can be changed for something more in her honor.

[@Feverstockphoto]

Very good interview and interviewer. Knowing your subject so well helps but it was a very interesting story and super smooth flow. Hope to catch a few of the games 🙂👍

[@frajudo]

Found two new inspirations to look up to Great Video, looking forward for the chess games from your mother :)

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

This was so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing a bit of your lives Pia Cramling. Takk så mykket for alt.

[@reapercarl5047]

Having you interview your own mum is a no brainer youve heard all the storys an know what to ask an it proberly brings out your favirate storys an pea seems alot more relaxed an just talks to her daughter its a great dinamic 👍

[@SirVampyr]

44 minutes of wholesomeness and inspiration. Pia and Anna, you two are absolute gems. Please keep doing what you're doing! Truely a motivation for the game and for life! :)

[@catalinagranados8065]

Wow pia inspired me a lot ❤❤❤ thank you so much for share your story

[@DanielFlailed]

These two are so sweet.

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

Great to learn more about Pia’s life. I’m super interested in the Gotham match because there is so many interesting things happening for him in this match specifically. He got fired up to become GM after spending time streaming instead of studying. Like ballet dancers and football players, many people think it’s too late for him to become world class at his age. Yet right here is the example Pia has set, reaching her peak (GM) rating in her 30’s, and then again in her 40s. She must be an inspiration for him, a model of hope that he can do this too. At the same time we saw how nervous Pia made him one or two years ago when he got to play a match at her home. Having hero worshipped her for a long time as an outstanding historical chess player, he definitely went in with a bad case of nerves playing her. I am very interested to see if he has managed to become calm and hopeful about playing Pia, and winning against her during his journey this year towards GM. I think he would be so exceptionally thrilled to gain elo against Pia. And yet of course, I too will be hoping for Pia wins! I will hopefully be happy for Levy if he manages to beat her.

[@f81456]

I like both players, but I want your mom to win, thank you for a great interview - Frank

[@fghfh11]

Such a good video! Pia is smart🎉

[@manolisvasilomanolakis767]

There is a kindness and humility aura around Pia and the way she speaks. The world needs more of this ❤️

[@NotTheUnsub]

This is such a wonderful interview. Anna, you are a great interviewer and your mom is a great interviewee. Your mom is a treasure. It is so touching the part that motherhood (her having you) was a big inspiration for your mom finding the joy of chess again. If there is such a thing as awards for best chess interview, I nominate this interview!

[@Squigglissimo909]

💞Pia and Anna are the greatest! I love watching Pia's commentary of Anna's games. They're so fun and informative.

[@ElReyGarcia11]

She seems so great. What a great attitude

[@andrewwilliams4283]

Enjoyed Day 1... a very interesting and close game. Glad that Pia was able to get the W... hopefully Pia can take advantage of White Pieces today.

[@cletus2580]

Really great interview.

[@marcuslobo5765]

Such a sweet interview. Love the history, the warmth and the love

[@ReverenceQ2]

really interesting to hear your mothers story, great upload

[@GustavoMunoz]

Pia is an extremely cute and kind person. But not only that. She is super determined and sharp. Absolutely a role model for any intelligent young person. I am not surprised Anna is also a great and charming human being, she has an unfair advantage: her mum.

[@davecypress]

Wonderful interview between mum and daughter. Hope to see same with dad.

[@Q8VEGA]

Who doesn't love Pia? Honestly, I think no one can resist her charm! She’s just the sweetest and has a way of making everyone around her feel special. Such a lovely lady! 🌟💖

[@tomriley5790]

Amazing to hear Pia's story! Pia is so softly spoken, kindest and humblest but also a killer on the chess board. Pia is clearly Anna's hero and a wonderful role model for anyone! Pia is clearly so proud of Anna.

[@KaranDeuinva-x4f]

Real goddess, simply perfect in every way.

[@johnj28]

Loved this interview!

[@rjoptc2444]

Can't wait for this match! Good Luck to you both.

[@jessesalazar1038]

May the best candidate win the matches involved, both players are capable of winning the honors for sure! It’s the hungry looking for the wins to achieve the crown, and the wiser one who’s been to the mountain top. Good luck to both!

[@David-qi1ys]

Anna's been accused on multiple occasions of being (sometimes too) clickbaity with her titles. This swings the pendulum the other way to be anti-clickbait if there were such a thing. She gives a long form interview of her mother, but it ends up being just her "mom's opinion on GothamChess" I'll be honest. Almost never clicked because how I couldn't care less about the purported title, but only because I was curious how that was 44 minutes of material. PLEASE Anna change this to something like "The Life and Times of Chess Grandmaster Pia Cramling" or something like that. This is one time the video definitely deserves MORE.

[@jRoy7]

I love your title suggestion. :)

[@Argonith15]

Agreed. Almost skipped the video because of the title. Glad I stayed.

[@michaelbauers8800]

I sometimes wonder if she works with someone who picks the titles. Always seems like, it would not be titles she would choose. But I could be quite wrong

[@David-qi1ys]

And it's been rectified... Yay!

[@michaelbauers8800]

@@orlandopockets6372 As for school, I have not attended any classes for decades. As for the rest of your post, I definitely had no clue what you were trying to say.

[@danielgallagherdan5103]

Wow, Anna, that was a really great interview. Your presentation and format were very professional. I know it was your mother. But if you do this well with an interview with Levy, you should look into interviewing more chess players the same way. I mean it. It was really well done!

[@zoltanmrena9138]

this was so special, thank you Anna, awsome content. Watching this after i got badly beaten by the PIA bot...

[@SkillSphere360]

They both are lucky to have each other as Mother and Daughter. Can't wait for the Match Tho

[@ruyt95]

Anna you are definitly a content legend regarding to chess! Thx

[@erodyo]

Both of you are so gorgeous and inspiring! 😍

[@Viridyana]

Lovely interview! I would love a series where Pia teaches the basics of chess.

[@JamesWilson01]

This is so wholesome and nice to see! Good luck Pia, I will be cheering for you. It's lucky that Gotham has not become a GM yet or he would be much too strong! 🤣

[@georgehewitt8041]

Your mum is amazing. Cherish her!

[@TheGhostUchiha7]

Pia staring at Anna at the start while she monologues is so adorable and wholesome 😂❤

[@lucianorodriguez7726]

Best interview ever, 45 minutes went FLYING, saludos desde argentina

[@davidnelson4960]

They are righteous. I'm going to review this over and over. I love her encyclopedia memory in telling the story.

[@tomriley5790]

Watching Pia and Anna is just lovely! Good luck Pia! Honestly I really don't mind who wins, Pia is so lovely and just an amazing person so will be completely happy if she wins. If Levy wins though it would be so good for his confidence, so I'll be happy for him to. I think Pia will win though - I mean she's just so good.

[@keezubair]

We need PIA CRAMLING SERIES right Now!!!😤

[@ballroomdancerli]

I am very pretty here to your channel, Anna. And I am not a chess player at all (yet). But I must say I have enjoyed your videos I have seen and this one is by far my favorite of all of youtube. It is such a beautiful thing to see you two women and mother and daughter be so proud of eachother in the same moment. Thank you for this and thank you for what you share here on your channel and thank you for adding such a positive experience to my life. I am so glad I found your channel.

This was very special❤❤❤Pia is such a formidable woman and chess player. It’s not easy to imagine there was a world of chess where very few females had to fight their way in and up in a male world….with her toddler child sitting in a stroller while mum fights to become a GM.
