I Played a 12-Year-Old Chess Genius in a Serious Tournament!

[@christophermarkthacker9137]

Hey Hannah, fairly new viewer here from Australia watching your tournament on Twitch and have liked your games so far. It's unfortunate how todays game played out, but dont torture yourself stuff happens, the top players in the world have made these mistakes as well. Use the rest day for some motivation. I'm sure you will turn it around. Also happy new year!

thankyou so much Chris, it was a painful one, brain stopped working after 5 hours unfortunately 🥲

[@christophermarkthacker9137]

@hannahsayce1 yea, that's definitely understandable. Long games can do that. The advantage is that you get to have a rest day to think things over and prepare for the next one. Regardless of how the rest of the tournament goes, you have done great, and everyone is proud of you. Only upwards from here!

[@hannahsayce1]

@ thank you sooo much

00:00 About the pairing 00:50 Game begins 07:05 Interesting line 17:54 Conclusion Very nice game, Hannah! Congrats on a great win. Thanks for the insightful recap, too.

[@hannahsayce1]

Thank you!!!

[@zizhiqu]

Cool, calm and collected. No panic, no heroics. Very nice game from you. I’m guessing it had high accuracy.

[@hannahsayce1]

Thank you! Yes the accuracy was 97%

[@pawnpusher]

There's no need to be nervous, Kasparov didn't take Magnus seriously when he was 13 lol

[@grogboggoth]

Wild game. Started so quietly, too ...

[@hannahsayce1]

True, things go crazy in time trouble sometimes!

[@gpolya7363]

Regarding your win today, how were you able to concentrate while your opponent muttered under his breath? You shouldn't have to play under such a distraction. Did you think about talking to the tournament organizers?

[@gpolya7363]

Also, remarkable accuracy for such a complicated game.

Kids in chess are so scary and unpredictable 😭 I hope you're having a fun time playing this tournament ❤

New Video Hype!!! 🎉🎉🎉😁 😄❤

[@Troll_Marauder]

Also congratulations on the win for the video, always love to see a win snatched from the jaws of defeat. 🎉

We should seriously stop underestimating children and stop overestimating adults. For the most part exposure to formal education and society in general only has a tendency to make the gifted more stupid, distracted and miserable, from which it can take a long time to rebound, if it happens at all.

Hi Hannah.

[@FrankJamger]

You did good again. 👍 When are you going to play with Alisa Yunker (channel "The Yunker's Chess & Co"), who is FIDE 2087 in Blitz at age 10? Please explain to her that she needs long hair like yours.

Ive seen when u play the open siciliann u lose most of the time so idk why y keep playing it if u dont know all ur lines after qc7 open sicilian players know that c4 and qe2 are the main lines there nc3 is really not good, try analyze and play a4 is prob better than nb3 cause of the plans here, its not great to be worse in the opening and be retreating instead of nb3 a4 and f4 and kh1 improve ur position stopbthking bout bf4 itll never be good here thats how u get 2000 fide, be more critical
