Her uncontrollable laughing at the end was contagious

[@HectorFontanez]

I could not stop laughing myself

[@archreyona]

exactly "uncontrollable laugh🤣🤣🤣

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

Or, too much cough syrup(joking).@British_vlog

[@ramachandra776]

"Screwing the screw" 😂 . Probably meant tightening the screws but Anna being Anna , gave an unintentionally funny twist to the old adage . 🤣

[@Ingenius_]

Being highly fluent in three languages it makes sense you tend to mess up phrases sometimes😂

[@MorningNapalm]

It's like nailing the nail, tbh.

[@FredPlanatia]

yes, a funny twist 🤣🤣 i was laughing uncontrollably when Anna had her laughing fit. so contagious! I also laugh and act silly when i'm tired. I totally understand.

[@trlavalley9909]

Turning the screw Anna.

[@elasticharmony]

Medieval torture

[@lexas1234]

Anna: "I'm facing a 1900" Opponent: Being 1999 :,(

[@ivan_pozdeev_u]

Your power level is only 8999!

8:45 Anne: "Here i was almost singing Hallelujah......"😂 Her opponent : "... Amen"

[@connorcampbell885]

Watching recaps in this format is a lot of fun. So good to see you doing competitions again

[@davidb2718]

Thank youuuu for not removing the hilarious exhausted laughs from the recap video😅😅.. I couldn't stop laughing either 😂😂😂😂😂

[@batto736]

congrats on a beautiful win! and thank you editor for leaving the giggles in

[@LudwigDeLarge]

You're welcome :D

[@traida111]

@@LudwigDeLarge great editor, but you did say at the end - like for win tomorrow (rest day?) :-P but I still liked the video, so.. :-P

@@traida111 There is indeed a game today (round 6) :D

[@traida111]

@@LudwigDeLarge oh maybe I caught this video a day late then? So my bad..... heheh

[@lucifermorningstar3709]

Screwing the screw is now my go-to expression for putting pressure on my opponent

[@ianbent0n]

These game reviews are my favorite thing you've done. Can you please get your mother on to review her games in depth too?

[@Imstillgeorge]

Pia the goat 🐐

[@VidaBlue317]

Does she live like the girl in Queen's Gambit?

[@archivist17]

I would love to see this.

[@roymarsh8077]

Definitely want to see Pia's moves

[@zo7034]

Maybe after the tournament is over, im guessing Pia has a more traditional tournament routine than Anna

[@spacejunkisforever6311]

This might be my favorite game you’ve played - and also favorite video- because there is nothing happier than watching you laugh out of control.

[@Valdagast]

Kudos to your opponent for not resigning. I like a fighter.

[@timt6312]

I know what you meant anna. Also your content is like therapy to me. Seeing someone so happy as you usualy are is infectues and makes me also happy

[@scriven-shafts]

Anna laughing uncontrollably and showing her goofball side is just lovely ❤

[@eadamic17]

If it is possible to lose an endgame king vs. king + 4 pawns, I would find a way to lose it!

[@masta12ful]

love your enthusiasm...it's really great for the game...your video's are pure Magic...cheers from NZ!!

"Tightening the screws" is the phrase that I think you were looking for. Fun video! Thanks Anna

[@LJones69]

Love these videos Anna! You’re so great with an amazing attitude!

[@bclaudew3]

way to bounce back. great game!! proud of you !! go sweden!!! love the content.

[@hamwhacker]

You are the breathe of fresh air we all need! Thank you Anna. You are an amazing person.

[@zackperkins9620]

Her energy always brings out that side we all love! Great game, Anna

[@Awol991]

Tightening the screw is the expression you want rather than screwing the screw.

[@nestoter]

Felicitaciones Anna! Tenés una energía muy buena y mostras pasión por el ajedrez. Seguí así! Saludos desde Uruguay.

[@gillesdumont4436]

Mikhail Tal get out this body, let's go back our Anna !

[@kilwap147]

Great job, Anna! I am very impressed with this game. You make Chess look so easy! I can't wait until you become a WGM!

[@1Baza22]

Happy Anna, screwing the screw. Congratulations on your win, your enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air, keep it up . There are a lot of people out there rooting for you :)

[@realandsurreal]

Turning or tightening the screw works! Keep the pressure on! Thanks for making chess fun to follow again Anna!

[@Janju76]

Love your coverage of the event. Its a little bit like your audience becomes part of it.

[@sylvesteruchia5263]

All Anna has to say at this point is " I wish I'd play her more often " . She was having a good time.

[@veselindimov307]

13:25 - "I promise, I'm ok" - beat line ever! ❤

[@serroche]

That laughter fixed my day after a really tough one. Thanks Anna. Saludos desde Sevilla!

[@robertadkins6304]

Her mom never laughing is the best. It is so funny. All Anna wants to do is laugh. Her mom is always happy, but doesn't laugh

[@ssspacesss]

Fascinating! Liked a lot how you went deep into moves although you could’ve make it a boring win/winning position early on. Thanks!

[@RichiRichi]

Your recaps always make me smile, thank you. Congrats on the win!❤

[@Procedurallydegeneratedjohn]

You can also use the euphemism "drives the knife in deeper" if you get tired of "screwing the screw" 😂

[@davidburrows7482]

Great Win! I always thought the saying was "turning the screw" but I like your version way better😂

[@lukaswolek7294]

Last time I played an opponent who kept smiling and I was scared. We ended up making a draw in 20 moves.

[@zeusros]

Cuando te olvidas de que estás compitiendo y solo te diviertes 😂. Eres la primera persona que veo que al cansarse, se rie. De todo lo que podria pasar, me parece un rasgo de lo más bonito.

[@charliehegarty5478]

That was a beautiful game, the queen side castle check, the queen sacrifice at the end just beautiful

[@zhoutianyang1120]

I think the most beautiful chess is the one with every piece fossilized. Totally understand the feeling when you win a game like this... Sometimes you can literally see your opponents shaking their heads. Congrat Anna

[@cushmanr01]

keeps applying the pressure. screwing the screw is a variation on the English phrase of "tightening the screw" which infers a addition to the application of pressure, and when under constant pressure people make mistakes.

[@rogermitchell2463]

I enjoy Anna's reviews. She is so personable. I like her excitement about her wins as well as "owning up" to her imperfections.

[@LightningGunne]

finally resuming watching these recaps for the first time after being really busy for so many months, because i've actually never been so invested in one of my favorite streamers' tournament games. thanks so much to the editor for leaving in the laughing, and thank you, Anna, for these recaps! you truly deserve Best Chess Streamer of 2023, and i'm gonna repeat that as many times as i want lol

[@PeterCadier]

Din energi är fantastisk, tack för dina videos!

[@airgead5391]

Your laughter really cracked me up! So sweet.

[@michaelfornes1479]

I'm glad you were able to slow down a few times and make sure you were making the best move. It's easy to get carried away when it looks like you've already won.

[@KVUSA77]

Excellent technique, way to convert your advantages. Keeping up the pressure in a position, especially if it tactically begs for it, often has a psychological effect as well.

[@s64156]

Would love to get these kind of reviews by your Dad and Mom about their games too!

[@platosocrates232]

What a contrast with yesterday's game Anna. Not only the way you played but also how you react and gave the comments ❤

[@tedquaker954]

Love your enthusiasm! Good Luck!

[@takeallthethings]

Anna! Do a video with your Mom where she breaks down her game!! I think everyone would love that, it would do numbers fr

[@bradybroussard]

Good luck with the rest of the tournament Anna!!

[@циклюемпаркетидоску.русСмирнов]

this laughter was needed in the last game

[@maxguldin]

Anna’s “Screwing the Screw” is a mixture of Shakespeare’s “Taming the Shrew” and Everybody’s “Twisting the Screw”. I like Anna’s use of words, I will definitely use it and use it allot in the future.

[@johntatum1951]

Congrats Anna on another win...I enjoyed the laughter part, but hope you get a good rest. Your Dad and Mom are a great support team for you! Congrats to your Mom on her win....and the team win vs Iceland.

[@nikedoesthings]

I live vicariously through you and your chess tournaments! I really hope you'll do more.. part of me wants to see you rise in Fide score and get up there with your mom and dad. I know you can do it!

[@jessesalazar1038]

Anna…you experienced the ultimate high… vanquishing your opponent in a high stakes game! Kudos to you!!

[@DavidRodriguez-hh6kx]

Anna excited about winning a fantastic game is exactly what I needed today 🥰🥰🥰

[@AV8R_Surge]

@8:02 we know what you mean 😂 "screwing the screw" = applying more pressure. We tend to say "tightning the screw"

[@mizofan]

This is an absolute delight and joy!

[@duncansloggie4272]

Anna we know what u mean ...tighten the thumbscrews Adding more pressure screwing the screw works as well

[@duncansloggie4272]

P.s don't apologize for laughing lol you are cute when u smile

[@goldlars]

I am playing The Battle of Polytopia for a very long time and I was so excited as I saw 2:03 their logo on ur jacket. It's crazy that such a small game/company can sponsor the chess national team of Sweden. Or are they sponsoring the jackets to everyone? It's so extremly crazy and surprising to see this logo completely random on YOUR jacket. I still cannot believe it... and it's funny

[@FredPlanatia]

don't start laughing about it! You'll never stop 😂

[@stagna1959]

If you have winning advantage / line, looking for even better / more beautiful one is dangerous decision. 15:36 Of course you should have played 23. Qxf6+ Re7 24.bxa7 Qxc5 25. a8= Q It is resignable now, black is not going to continue to play against 2 queens and 2 rooks , material advantage for white is so huge and black king is still under furious attack

[@Orwaha]

Anna “screw the screw because she has a screw loose” Cramling 😂 I laugh when I’m tired too

[@luissantiagocorreia]

Congratulations, Anna, it was a very nice game!

[@nikolay_nidvoray1]

OMG i can’t stop watching you. My rating is 700 and i don’t even understand half of what you are saying or moves you do, but watch every video 😂😂 Im just in love ❤

[@falcongaming-9195]

Hi Anna It would be really nice if u make a video showing that how u prepare for a tournament.

[@jwf3148]

Your happiness makes people happy...

[@elasmojones]

The incoming checkmate on your mom's game was merciless. Resign quick, avoid the pain.

[@jonathanjackson3706]

Love the dad. Smiling after the loss the other day to keep spirits up. Today a bit of grounding sarcasm to keep things on the level 😅

[@chazfatur1929]

Okay, so around 6:05... you could have moved Knight to e-6, take her pawn. force her to move her queen away, because that would be your next take. But you can still move your knight to c-7, because she stated that she her pride won't allow her to move backwards. Then you have check with your knight...

[@webcrawler9782]

congratulations for your win. It's so much fun too watch your summary! Good luck for the next matches!

[@bg-qn6dx]

I am enjoying the additional travelogue content along with the chess review. I believe that by expanding on this material, showing travel and logistics surrounding live play tournaments with further content and commentary from parents and teammates, you could further your channel by making it more unique amongst the available chess content. Great work on your channel and chess career, looking dorward to more. Good luck 👍

[@imandwihartanto]

The exitement just could not wait. We all can feel it at the very begining of the video. Thank you Anna. Congrats.

[@Mike1OfSweden]

Beautiful game! Well played and very good you halted now and then to think and played moves that kept the pressure upon your opponent high all the time!😊 Congratulations!

[@Dude-etiquette]

Happy to see you feeling better today

[@jamesbarker1994]

Fantastic Anna, well done!!!

[@GNU_Linux_for_good]

06:30 _Uhm.. _*_no_*_ time for the beach?_ 08:10 _pin the knight.. pin the knight.._ 08:25 YES! good girl 10:04 Right, Anna! Even _Morphy_ would have dreamt off. 12:25 no.. no.. _keep digging_ 14:59 30+ that equals a slam dunk So after all, it turned out Johanna's preparation wasn't _that_ good. Congrats..

[@lukebrennan5780]

Loving this series. Your Dad is great. Always so upbeat. Love that Pia is winning. GREAT to see these and the Twitch streams.

[@locoghoul]

LOVE your energy lol. That jump at the beginning describes you so well. Eres super alegre Anna!

[@user-bb5bf2tp4w]

I don’t remember seeing Benko gambits on your channel. You absolutely killed it!

[@mathedguy]

Congrats on the win Anna !

[@YaxisX]

A fascinating analysis Anna. I felt as much excitement watching your game, as I felt in one of my own.

[@travisSimon365]

I believe that the phrase you are looking for is 'tighten the screws' :-). I believe it is a reference to a mediaeval torture device: thumb screws. So, when you have someone in a bad position (in thumb screws), you can make it worse by simply tightening them up a bit. Great content, and as a non-native English speaker, your ability to communicate in English is incredibly impressive.

[@chad1755]

What a fun game to pull off in a tournament. Absolutely crushing

[@joeb4142]

Congrats on the win and thanks for the smiles 😄

[@somed655]

In germany, when kids go crazy when they are way past their bedtime, we say "Nach müde kommt blöd", which basically means "After tired, there is stupid" 😅

[@turintuscolana9077]

I love Anna's laugh, so this was a particularly good recap. ))

[@Barbutt]

0:20 Some years back a friend and I joined a library chess club. Him and I were pretty good wood pushers, win apx 66% of games and only get trounced by “That one guy” consistently. However, I knew… bring your A Game playing kids!! I warned my friend when we joined the club. “Hey, we’re going to play some kids as well.. play harder! Were you in a chess club at 8yo?” Every time he lost to a kid he admitted, “I can’t get it out of my head! I warn myself but STILL make needlessly risky moves I wouldn’t usually make! I just expect to win!” ‘Hey Todd, think you’ll win the next time?’ Sighs, frustrated. “I Honestly Don’t Know!?” ‘Ah, there you go! Keep that in mind!’ He improved as well as expected to lose once in a bit.

[@mmathems395]

There's "waiting" for your opponent to make a mistake, and there's "inducing" your opponent's mistake ... And "yes", you are able to understand the chess player's psychology in reluctance to move a piece back to where it just came from, but whose advantage is it when a piece is moved back to safety, and whose disadvantage is it? ... So play around and see if you can induce a mistake ... Also think about which pieces you might sacrifice in order to weaken your opponent's foundation ... Treat each game as you would playing New York's street hustlers ... In those games there's no preparation

[@KRACb]

- Какое прозвище у Анны? - Шахматная доска

[@michaelkewl7056]

Anna is a strong player for her age with so much humility. Just loving her games

[@joshglandorf5953]

Another similar phrase would be to "twist the knife" if you have a huge advantage and you want to go further.

[@bentme7067]

Anna has the most contagious laugh and smile on youtube

[@brettclark3885]

fantastic game and thought processes, you should be very proud of this game. well done!

I love u Anna ❤, I’m 17 and I’m playing since my 16 and I can’t stop play chess i got 1488 elo fide in my first tournament and my dream is to be like u, en unos años me mudaré para Italia y estudiare tanto ajedrez como pueda!!! Gracias por tus videos los amo y a ti igual

[@judsongordy8872]

I think Anna had a browny before making this video lol

[@johnfrankster3244]

At 14:20 or so I think there was a check fork that would have forced her to trade her rook for your knight. The alternative was losing her queen.
