I Crushed Anna Cramling’s Hopes and Dreams

[@LindaKalin]

This is just the kind of otb chess chat I love. Serious players, yet having fun - discussing the game in an intelligent, respectful way.

[@jeffhny]

This is probably the last time Anna will forget to look for a check.

[@akaNemsko]

checks captures threats!

[@sevenrings6437]

Engine says it's like +10, even though pieces are only worth 3... Bruh

[@joshlaheru3409]

Fun match with two beautiful ladies.

[@prbprb2]

Anna can pick up the black's dark square bishop with a simple tactic at 2:26. So there is already one blunder. Intermediate level stuff (1500).

[@njvalueinvestor]

Anna was distracted, Nemo was more focused, even her banter was far more coherent

[@AkosHorvath-yr3hr]

Agree, Nemo took advantage of Anna's kindness to steal her time. He probably would have won anyway, so it was a shame to undermine his victory this way.

[@jacobcarrizales427]

I think the wildest thing is she played a different queen move while the tactic was on the board

[@johnclark5859]

You can’t get bored watching two beautiful and intelligent women play chess

[@13Kr4zYAzN13]

Real talk tho: I can't believe Chess Twitch Champs a couple of years ago eventually led to the Hot Girl Chess Club Not complaining. Just an observation lol

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Dangerous Nemo Zhou. Nice fight. What people forget is that peek Nemo was higher rated than Peek Belenkaya and the current Neno is higher rated than the current Belenkaya. If it was not for the situation in chess even 2600-rated men have problems living from chess I guess Nemo would be at least 2500+ She is amazingly strong.

[@joannewilson6577]

No she is not amazingly strong! She is 2200 Classical and she would not win many games against any very strong IM (+2400).

[@bastet9994]

​@joannewilson6577 the problem is that she doesn't want to put the work, which is totally fine and understandable, but she has very good instincts. She could have gotten the IM title if she wanted. And I'm not just talking garbage as a 1900 shitty player, more than one GM have said the same thing about her.

[@joannewilson6577]

@@bastet9994 I agree she could probably be strong IM like John Bartholomy! +2400 Fide.

[@eekwibble]

peak*

[@rafawangchess]

who else was screaming inside when anna missed that fork

[@RadishAcceptable]

🖐I think she was distracted.

[@wdiddy1]

These 2 make the best chess videos.

[@tehmpus]

At the 2:55 mark in the video, Anna could have played Queen to A4 check, then picked up the Bishop on B4 with the next move. IMO

[@CapitanHarlockisback]

And win the game.

[@jinjurbreadman]

Spent 45 seconds on that move just to blunder back

[@eekwibble]

It was at 2:20 that Nemo moved the knight and exposed the king to the fork

[@Alton7771]

Nemo just crush the dream of the most adorable chess player on the internet.

[@stefanhansen5882]

Her own dreams?

[@yoldza]

Both are

[@Spurz1975]

2:32 Qa4 free bishop? did i miss something?

[@andersonmejia56]

Yes, it was

[@sverige1947]

Explain Better.... Qa4 means Queen in A4?

[@andersonmejia56]

​@@sverige1947 Yes, it is

[@sverige1947]

​​@@andersonmejia56 Now I can see the move you are talking about ?.... Even If Nemo could easily defend B4 with the Pawn in C5?

[@marcolee2875]

​@@sverige1947can't go c5 when you're in check, you have to deal with that first. The bishop is lost.

[@ronbirnbaum1968]

Difference between a WFM and a WGM.

[@superneenjaa718]

Well played. The manipulation tactics even better than the chess.

[@epicteddybear3666]

Smiling to the camera in the thumbnail along with title is nothing short of pure evil

[@trumplostlol3007]

Playing chess at a young age is like learning how to walk. You learn how to walk and forget about how you learn it. For people who learn chess at an old age. They need to memorize the openings which is more difficult because of old age. Imagine if you are caged for 20 years and start to learning how to walk at the age of 20.

[@slumpybumstin8031]

These chess girls make me want to study chess all day everyday for 5 years.

[@OGRE_HATES_NERDS]

if you start now you will only be 20 years experience behind them when you are done

[@jeffypwnzu]

you can be as good as them in 1 year easily lol

[@superneenjaa718]

​@@jeffypwnzu barely possible if that's the only thing you do.

[@Adideva3]

Nemo missed the checkmate, at 11:47 Nemo should have played Queen B2, then if Anna blocks with Rook B3 then is check when Queen takes Rook or if Anna moves Rook to B5 then Queen takes and it is checkmate.

[@Pichess2011]

I love you guys and really enjoy watching your videos-they are so interesting! I even watch them while eating. 😂 I’m now trying to make some chess videos. I think this helps me practice my English and review the chess knowledge I’ve learned. I also like playing bullet chess on Chesscom, and my rating is over 2400. I really hope to play chess with you someday. ❤ From a 12-year-old chess girl in China.(Wuhan)

[@tonyeye101]

Anna should have used the Cow opening. :)

[@cliffordsy4249]

Nemo not at peak chess right now, but at peak beauty :)

[@paulhowes5094]

These beautiful ladies are ruthless on the chessboard!

[@FakhrulMishu]

why did you not take a free bishop😁

[@joaobarros6744]

Oh nemo, how dirtyyyy youtalking about "a5"(h5" to distract her from the tactic... So dirtyyy LMAO =P

[@SarahLouiseHunt]

she def didnt see it either as she left it hanging for a second move

[@superneenjaa718]

​@@SarahLouiseHunt nah, she saw it after playing. Even talked about it later in the game to distract/ demoralise her opponent.

[@SarahLouiseHunt]

@@superneenjaa718 i disagree. she realized it after the second move, not during anna's turn. nemo is not intentionally hanging pieces against a strong opponent.

[@superneenjaa718]

@@SarahLouiseHunt it happens to the best of us. Even grandmasters make silly mistakes like this sometimes.

[@SarahLouiseHunt]

@@superneenjaa718 i understand. im saying she didnt notice during anna's move and try to distract her because she hangs the piece for another move.

[@cliffordsy4249]

Also these two would make a great Aerith and Tifa.

[@earthless8781]

Just to let you know that I got the FF7 reference. What a jump in the past.

[@grandstrategy8987]

IMHO, you were having a great positional advantage even before Anna overlooked a bishop fork ...Be3+. Maybe the real cause of white's defeat is believing and following the move you suggested. 😆🤣 Anyway I enjoyed the game. Thanks.

[@harryjules369]

My favourite streamers.❤🎉

[@kevinmc1111]

The eval bar jumping at Be3 means the engine didn't see this move before it was played. It should have. Something's not right.

[@xx-vc9cr]

Poor Anna :(

[@jaimeduncan6167]

She is strong she used to be 2367 at 16 years old. There is not enough money to play chess, even 2600 males struggle, so she sacrificed her career as a chess player, She was stronger than Belenkaya and probably she still is.

[@zezeti2246]

😮‍💨Anna needs a bottle of motivation

[@Anonymityfan]

@8:14 what would the tactic have been if Nemo hadn't found the check?

[@Anonymityfan]

Is it fxg5 Rf8 Rd8 Qxb4+?

[@johnkelley7426]

I should have played chess in high-school instead of sports.

[@dmiles3270]

The way that they know which position they're talking about in a visualizing that fucking board in their head.......man, color me jealous.

[@firstlast7692]

No discussion about the two times when white was nearly winning, according to engine?

[@johnlinoglindro7457]

whats the best move in 4:04 ? bar look it could have mate for white

[@S_anurag04]

Qa4, free bishop

[@sverige1947]

3:13 What if Anna takes the Black Pawn in B4 with her One? Think about It.... A White Pawn in B4 would check the Black Knight in C3 and the Black Pawn in A3 could not retake the piece.... Because in this way Anna's Rook would have a free way to capture the black rook in A and check the Black King, Who would be forced to expose his Queen to the decisive capture only to save his Life from the check

[@andrewwilson9123]

At 3:13: it’s black to move. If it was white to move, then you would be right

[@MohammedOmarFCB]

Me reading the Title be like: Is that an Undertale reference?

[@danamiller1192]

telling my kids this is naruto and sasuke

[@YManCyberDude]

Board seems upside down . . .

[@TheRuns2]

6:34 Should Nemo have played Ne3 to fork the rooks? If not, why not?

[@pbstevenss]

She would’ve lost a knight and a bishop just for one rook

[@Tianzi38]

But can Nemo beat her in classical chess? I don’t think so.

[@Thricecube57]

[@tranced6]

Wow super beautiful! You got a new sub :P

[@Herb-EEEEE]

yay new video 🦆

[@brettsinclair8974]

beautiful !!! ... yes the game too

[@jlinwinter]

best chess youtube I've ever seen!!!!

[@doctorshoot]

OK gg Anna is most loved player in YT world She needs to channel Rey Pia

[@MightyBeastPR84]

Anna had a winning move on 9:33 if she capture the pawn c6, but instead she moved her rook. Anna had 2 opportunities to win the game, Total disappointment.

[@ОлександрШишкін-м5р]

If she took pawn on c6, then Rd2+ or Qc5+ and it's close to checkmate for white

[@aznpholyfe6693]

come to washington would make my day to play you

[@hex2k]

Naruto vs Sasuke

[@nicktomaras9772]

I am happy to mend any 💔💔💔💔💔💔

[@yudaaugusta985]

But you can block the check with your queen, right? So still win I guess

[@ArJeSsTeR]

Can I marry one of them? Yea in my dream I can 😅

[@herbthompson8937]

Anna losing on time.....no way

[@zackf3688]

Nemo's too strong!

[@שמעון-ק2ח]

Very sly! They both missed it a few times.

[@draganvuksa1529]

anna whay you dont tray playing first move e4 or c4 or somting else juste tray win or draw or lost the game i m olso in paste playing only e4 but no more

[@imsamtw]

aka more aggressive

Brain trumps beauty?

[@RonePitrrson]

Thank you Nemsko. It was a fluid game.👍
