I think working through your disappointment makes the bond with your audience more real. We can relate to the sadness. You will be rewarded for your authenticity.

[@toofelin]

Anna you played so well! I'm so sorry for the two mistakes but I'm so excited for what comes next! You're a rock star for only needing one day to recover and commit to learning from the experience, as you always do. Real hero stuff!

Wonderful job. Thank you to Pia & Ludwig as well 💖

[@albertotaboada6775]

Appretiate the effort put into this video. I had fun watching seeing some of your games and recaps. But don’t try too hard. Your wins and loses are yours and yours alone, we’re just riding along. Don’t feel pressured to do content if you don’t feel like it, and don’t feel like you’re dissapointing people if you win/lose. It’s too much pressure to handle and sometimes I feel you might feel that way. It’d be heartbreaking if it affects your competitive life. Good luck, you really improved this tourney! 🎉

[@scorpionking857]

Congrats on a great tournament and great coverage, even if the results weren't as as hoped. ps: maybe as a couple more of your mum's comments into these recaps. Pia's passion for the game and her support for you is brilliant!

[@ProjectMusicPromo]

You're playing well, keep going and good luck💪

[@Frank-bn9us]

Wow those 3 seconds of slow-mo in the intro!!! Very awesome playing like a GM!

[@njvalueinvestor]

Anna is a pleasure to watch. Clear layman terms, informative analysis, all bundled with tactics and wisdom. She confesses to squandering a draw against a better player, taking a loss. Her day to recover before filming shows mature judgement. Anna takes losses with humility. What a solid chess player, and fine young woman.

[@kagayaku_]

Yayyyy, a notification from Anna’s channel!!

[@georgemacdonald8899]

Wow, the first game in 6 months where I saw a move that was good while watching your games! I think that's cause I am forced to look for draws a lot, 10 minute games do that to me... Every one of your recaps is a lesson in humility for me, so much to learn! This is so much fun though! I'm so happy you got to travel to Menorca to play, it's a good thing to get some warm sun in the middle of winter! I'm in sunny San Jose, California and today we have one of our rare snow capped mountain days. Was thinking a different kind of video for you might be to play chess with some of the other KZbin channels, i.e. Ran Sailing, La Vagabond, ... Would make for some fun mix ups...

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Try playing Daily games like 24 hours or 3 days 7 days gives you more time to think a lot of games start off very drawish usually whomever makes first mistake loses Stick with it Puzzles for tactics

When I lose at my super low Elo I get so upset (though I should be used to losing by now) but to see how gracefully Anna handles losing at her level is therapeutic for me. She is model of composure.

You have to stop doubting yourself in the games. You have the talent. You only go wrong when you start doubting yourself

[@tracylf5409]

I know many who play chess will appreciate this format you've move to Anna, but to those of us not in that arena, we miss your sweet vids in parks and not so commercialized. xx

[@OdinHerjan]

The reason it was a losing positions was due to the fact the knight can now enter the fray and be able to push away the king, hence losing the pawns it's defending. Knight d4 - Bishop d7 getting the white king to F4 which secures the spot for the knight to land on f5 and push away the king.

[@alexiiius]

thank you for explaining it! I was wondering how it was a losing position after g4!

[@AndrewDavidWright]

Anna, I appreciate your honesty with yourself. That's really hard. But keep learning and growing. I think of the Japanese concept of try, fail, try, fail, try, fail and try. It is from the trying, failing and trying again that we learn. Keep trying! You are learning! Be proud of the learning.

[@maocharlisme]

This would be a really cool game for Anna Rudolph to comment on imo! Well played!

win lose or draw you're always a winner to us, Anna.

As to your reference, my friend works for an engineering firm and often refers to “paralysis through over analysis”.

[@AnthonySettergren]

@14:20 Thank you for the words of wisdom and your positivity!

[@ace942]

It was a tough loss. I would have played knight captures bishop because I usually train the knight for bishop in most of my games. Hopefully you will do better in your future games.

[@juanmira429]

You're the best ANNAA💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@carlosedwardos]

the crazy part is, that you did the opposite a couple of days ago, you took a draw, when you had a HUGE crushing advantage with white eval bar almost at max height 😮

[@NotTheUnsub]

My admiration goes out to you for your self-reflection and honesty as I knew the recap for this game was a tough one for you to make. The lesson I'll try to take away is to not take any "drawish" position for granted and grind until either the computer says "draw" for online or hand shakes done if in person game. Glad to see you've bounced back. Proof is seeing "The Anna" move at 0:03 😉. P.S. Another phrase for "analysis paralysis" is "paralysis by analysis". The same meaning.

[@toforgetisagem8145]

When I watch Anna play in serious tournaments, I want her to become a world champion. When I see her play in the parks and bars,I want her to be the best chess educator ever! She even inspired me to find out what chess was about. I now have a rating of.......9 😂 At least I know the pieces and what is supposed to go where on the board. I can't bust the moves! But I love Anna's attitude. Gracious in losing and winning.

[@bytejuggler]

Great game. Shame about the losing mistakes, but as you say, it's a learning experience: you know the mistakes you made. You won't make them again.

[@brucecrane9605]

You will always be a champion for the way you handle yourself in victory and defeat. Chess Princess

[@Double-X2-Points]

00:56 So your best game is my average game from what Im hearing. I also typically have inaccuracy of around 97%. What I heard is "I had inaccuracy of 97%, basically"

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

More endgame practice for you! And more openings! I am so confident you are only getting better over time. It is only blunders and time trouble that take you out, otherwise your usual chess moves are very good to great.

[@sammydavis5628]

"It's humanly impossible to lose this" ohhhh Anna you underestimate how bad I can play in endgames!

[@TechnoMageB5]

7:59 Nice. Anna dug out the foundation of his attack before he could launch it.

[@TechnoMageB5]

No. Respectfully, don't necessarily "just take the draw". If your opponent made 2 mistakes instead of you, you would have won. To Live is To Risk. Life and Chess have this in common. You chose to keep the game alive, looking for the win. When you do that, in a game like this, you'll draw many, you'll lose a few, you'll win a few. Wayne Gretzky, one of the greatest hockey players to have played his game, said it best: "You miss 100% of the shots you never take." The only difference is the confidence you have in your own ability to play the game. Don't let one error in judgment undermine your confidence in your ability to play the game. If you declined a draw offer in a game you were losing, that would be a different story. You went after what appeared to be a chance at winning. Never regret that. In any game, unless you have a good reason to, follow through when you see an opportunity. Salut.

[@FabledStone]

its so hard to play for a draw, as a watcher its easy to say JUST TAKE THE DRAW but I completely get if thats not enough for someone especially watching the Candidates now its insane to me how all those best players in the world just take draws so freely

[@kimscheuer8023]

Love your attitude!!!

[@pabloduque579]

What strikes me is the fact that she says I was so upset that I spent the whole night sleeping 😂🤣🤣 does she never sleep during the night? Or she was going to say "awake" and changed her mind in the last second 😂

You're a grandmaster in my eyes for personality, content and stunning smile

[@Z6D4C4]

Still a great tournament in my opinion. Very fun to follow along! happy studying

[@garyamusic]

Anna ran out of time, it took me a minute to see it. I never heard her say it in the video so I was perplexed as well. Maybe I was to busy looking at the board (and her) and didn't hear it. 🙂🙂 Thanks Anna. New subscriber and player, enjoy your content.

[@joshuamphande2272]

[@donallen8414]

Going for the draw is the best lesson you've learned from this game. Just check how often top players end a game with a draw, and then check your own number. They know that if there's no clear perspective for a win, a draw is the best way out of that game.

[@richardthorne2804]

You did awesome 👏

Having a 97% accuracy and then lose is unbelievable! Just goes to show how high the level of play is nowadays.

97% accuracy, the only 2 errors made it so you couldn't get a draw; he must play incredible if a perfect game against him would be a draw. Good job on that draw against a 2253 rated player.

Congratulations. I hope that you soon achieve your Grandmaster norm.

[@thadpoehl858]

Congrats and rejoice. Methinks all too often you are a bit hard on yourself when things don't go well. This is proof that it is the struggle, the conflict, the contest in which the champion is forged and refined. You will prevail in all of your pursuits, the only thing that will prevent that is when you give up. Patience and Persistence, the two keys to all success. I am happy for you, the rewards are there to be had, just keep on stroking...

The end position on the live board is quite different than on the analysis board. What's up with that?

[@normanjohnson2548]

I had a drawn game too, but wanted to win…but my desire to win caused me to lose. Good lesson, take the draw rather than press for a win.
