I'm a terrible chess player who always found the game super solitary and devoid of emotion because I had no one to play with in person.

I'll probably want to learn some theory next. Keep it going Anna, what an excellent tournament!

Anna. Congratulations on your fabulous win! Also, you won me! I happened upon your channel a couple of days ago. For reasons unknown I felt compelled to watch. I’m not a player at all, chess is difficult and I rarely win, so I haven’t played in many years. But watching you play and listening to your explanations of the games was compelling. It’s your excitement and love of the game that moved me. It doesn’t hurt that your chess pedigree is impressive with mom and pop being grandmasters. To make this short, I’m inspired to start playing again at age 64. Wish me luck! 🍀
