[@marcelopezao14]

I love the way Anna talks about her mom. It's like, you can hear the pride, with a little envy and lot of admiration.

[@robertakerman3570]

A bit of "stress" on Anna. Hard 2 believe She made a crucial error(wrong name).

[@kaizoisevil]

I imagine being the child of two GM's puts a lot of pressure to live up to that family legacy.

[@vlastimil-furst]

​@@kaizoisevil Hopefully her parents exert none of that pressure, and that Anna handles the pressure that comes from anywhere else well. I like her a lot as a chess ambassador and content creator. Will she ever reach GM title? I don't know. But I know there are many GMs I've never heard of, and I also know I enjoy watching Anna's videos.

[@sjwin66]

Nice recap. It might be an idea to provide a brief update at the end of your team's result and current standings

[@torejorgensen5344]

I enjoy your recaps a lot. Nice that your preparation went so well, and congratulations to your mom! At first I didn't see why her opponent gave up (I'm not a strong chess player) but after looking at it a bit more it became obvious. Well played both of you! Greetings from Norway!

[@jesseshort7179]

I love how you explore different lines and show multiple moves and explain your thought process at various stages. Most recap vids don't get as into those, but they really help me develop my own understanding of the higher-level tactics. It's a lot more relatable to hear it fresh from the player than to watch an analysis. Thanks for taking the time to do these after such long game days :)

[@word20]

Exactly, when you show your thought process you are also helping lower players understanding and how to analyse through a game where you need to think some moves ahead

[@LearnAsMuchYouCan]

@@word20 yeah!

[@robertakerman3570]

Congratulations, Anna! Your recaps are always so informative, and they really show how deeply you understand what you're doing at all times.

[@dccarlos15]

Can you do a recap of your mom's games too? You did amazing today! 👏

[@front331]

The mother will be an absolute nightmare for the top rated players like the Muzychuk sisters and Dronavali. They just upset Spain led by the mother which is also the team captain.

Lovely recap. You’re very good at laying out your reasoning.🤗

thank you for all the explanations of your game. It is very pleasant to understand and to follow

[@SunyataZero]

Brilliant game! Grattis!

[@aceofspades1658]

Congratulations on your win, Anna. You played a brilliant strategy. We’ll be cheering for you in round three.

[@pepig1111]

I enjoy your recaps. They are very entertaining and instructive. I am trying to get better at chess and today I learned not to open B6, G6 if you are a 1600+ player playing a 1900+ one. I saw that you attacked the center with pawns, backed by knights, and were able to maintain your opponent in a defensive position, even though she was playing whites. I was glad to be able to follow your moves and predict some of them. Good luck tomorrow!

[@darrylpiano]

Hi Anna, love your upbeat videos. I only recently started to learn the basics of chess a few weeks ago on holidays and discovered how strangely addictive it is 😂 However, the amount of information out there about openings, endgames, etc… is overwhelming for someone just starting out. As a complete beginner, are there any openings and variations I should just focus on? Any advice is grateful. Best of luck with the rest of the Olympiad

[@gilachess]

NEW subscriber because you are the most energetic commentator. 1 hour bus ride - that's crazy. I know the guilty feeling when a whole slew of prepared move gets springed on an opponent. I remember I was playing a WGM once and I quickly brought out her games on ChessBase db on my iPad. She got into a bad position against a GM in a French advance and I played the same exact moves. Got a +2 advantage once in the game but still lost because the noob in me didn't know how to win.

[@fedes9626]

Nice preparation and finish.

[@Mahmoud-gm9bs]

Very good game good luck for the next rounds, I'm enjoy this game

[@vladislav7497]

Hi, Anna! I love the recaps you are doing, they are amazing, thank you for them! Very nice game, your intuition served you well during preparation. Have fun in the rest of your games, hope you will remember your name next time you fill the game sheet ;)

[@hareldavidson738]

very instructive game on how to destroy the hippo, the only thing to keep in mind is that after the d4 advance white can play Bxc6 and then close the center, getting rid of the bad bishop. after that castling queenside is not really attractive because of the broken pawns and its anyones game

[@MrNyxxyn]

Recaps are awesome

[@SuperAlain123456]

I enjoy you matches a lot . Thank you.

[@MrK-ti5lt]

Super proud of you and love your content! When I first saw you play I thought I could beat you 8/10. More I watch? No way. Maybe 1 out of 100. MAYBE. Your personality and authenticity is fantastic and good luck on all the rounds! Glad I found your channel and subscribed and look forward to learning from you and your fam and experiences. Good luck on the Olympiad! You rock! :)

Hi Anna, Thanks for the recaps, they are great! Would you be able to share a bit more on who is in team Sweden with you and what board you are playing?

[@dougg1976]

Brutal well done !

[@crustycarhartt]

Great video! Very instructional!

[@tenorhighc1]

Really cool way to play against NImzo/Larsen. I had to do some study on it because that opening can get really wild and dangerous if Black plays into it. It's very instructive to see how deep your prep goes into an opening. Much further than I expected. Awesome. Also very much enjoying your coverage of your experience at the Olympiad. GREAT!!!

[@mattiasvonmalmborg6633]

Bra gjort Anna! Superkul med dessa små videos. Heja Sverige!

Nice game, Anna. Always nice when your prep appears on the board. It gives you a big advantage in time and you know you have a great position. That makes winning a bit easier. Love to watch your streams, your enthousiasm and smile always brings a smile to my face also. Thank you 😍

Fantástico Anna. Me encantan tus vídeos aunque tenga que hacer uso del traductor para seguir tus explicaciones. Suerte en la Olimpiada.

[@System.Error.]

Ah the legendary Hippo Attack. I like to push 4~5 pawns on the queenside, that almost always allows me to break that side of the Hippo.

[@terencefans2563]

The opening is called the hippo attack/defense

[@sjhanson1690]

That was incredible! It’s so fun to see your excitement after such an amazing game. I mean who plays right into what you’ve prepared? I would’ve felt a little guilty too, almost like I’m cheating in a way even though I’m totally not. But great win! On to the next…
