The best of this game is how proud was Pía, priceless, congrats !!

[@hughtube5154]

Huge credit to Anna for finding the best moves under incredible pressure. Even though she was a piece up, and the Eval bar was nearly all black, Pia kept finding lines where Anna could get mated if she wasn't careful. PS: kudos to Anna for wearing a sweater that matches the coat stand in the background. PPS: good luck in your next game, Anna.

[@FredPlanatia]

it has to be said, its almost harder to play when you are in a winning position and have to prove it, especially when your opponent has such a dangerous attack going.

[@Arkkis27]

This was my first classical game I watched live and wow was it intense! To see time ticking down when you have only one good move to make was really stressful as a spectator :D Well played and good job Pia, the commentary and passion was on point!

[@jeffreyhall556]

Happy birthday, mysterious editor person! I love seeing Anna's mom's reactions to her playing.

Congratulations Anna, a beautiful thing to watch you grow in your abilities. I think your greatest strength is how grounded and humble you are.......... your parents are a huge plus as well, they must be very, very proud. Happy New Year Anna, looking forward to more videos. Thanks for posting.

[@marcofrey2903]

This was a funny chain of events! It's heart warming to know that even 2000s play bizarre moves out of the opening : )

[@thomasma8924]

Congrats Anna! It's really nice with the short clips showing your mother's reaction. Happy birthday to the editor!

[@cellistefly]

Now I see why you have time to focus on all the other video aspects. Your editor gives you on less thing to juggle. Grats Anna! Continue staying in the moment. I like that you had confidence to get out of predictable chess and stay focused in-game to exploit on every move your opponents’ weakness. Never taking for granted their potential ability to return the favor. Respecting your opponent no matter. That’s your strength along with many others. Happy New Chess!

[@DFF1234]

Thanks!

[@bamzerdaniel1997]

I was checking constantly yesterday for this video, 😂 but I see now, happy birthday editor! And hope you win Anna!

[@jeroenschoot-l5h]

Volcanic game Anna, where your opponent served as the main volcano. During nearly all of the battle you kept playing accurately, not allowing nerves to ruin the intended result. So well done technically and mentally! And good luck for the final stages of the tournament where your position is excellent now.

I have never played a game of chess. I just happened to unintentionally come across one of Anna's videos and thought, what the heck, I will watch it. I have watched many more since. I do enjoy watching Anna play because she has a fantastic attitude. Always positive, always smiling, and a humble heart. What a great role model and not just for chess players.

[@michaelmolz8037]

You're well on your way! Remain alert for trickery re openings with remaining opponents. After seeing how you slowed down Magness in that one video, I'm confident you've got this (tournament win)!! Bästa önskningar för din framgång! 🙂🤞

[@RaimundoPAM]

Congratulations for the win and the amazing result in the tournament. I watched the stream and Pia is a wonderfull comentator and a chess genious. Happy birthday to your editor too. He does an amazing job.

[@WiscoNtv458]

Happy New Year Anna, and a Happy Birthday editor. Anna, your mom seems excited by the fact you have learned how to sacrifice pieces in the pursuit of the win, which I believe has never been your strength. You have always worried about piece protection. Even in this discussion you seem overly aware of capturing pieces rather than ending the game, which both lengthened the game and opened you up to a possible blunder yourself. If you haven't already watch 'Ender's Game' which, because he thought it was a simulation, was willing to lose most if not all his 'pieces' to go for the win.

[@louie2]

these tournament vids have me hooked, well done

[@divergentlife493]

Good for winning. Top users are good at winning in time. Not always to checkmate opponent. They can lose by running out of time. So it's a good thing to use.

[@AndrewBrophy-Romans8.1]

Great analysis and way to navigate your way through your opponent’s attack. That castles move by him is a puzzler 🤔 Best of luck in round 6 and hope your editor had a great birthday!

[@mannygee005]

oh wow, this was actually so complicated! Nice job! I think... these last 2 opponents were trying to have you lose by time. They moved fast to pressure you into thinking out the moves which would eat up your time which put you at risk.

[@NN-fw9il]

Anna though your opening wasn't that good,that was a crazy game and some of the tactics and variations that you spotted were really good.The fact that Ra1-b1 wasn't played in a classical game is crazy though.

He was probably playing on your one weakness - running out the clock, by playing super fast and causing you to double and triple guess yourself.

[@blanchae]

Very interesting and well played game. It is one that you will remember for a long time. One of the best games that I played and lost was like this. Unorthodox play but so exciting as both my opponent or I were on the verge of winning and losing throughout.

[@georgemacdonald8899]

Thanks a million dear editor. Happy birthday as well! Interesting game, amazing how strong an opponent can still be when down a piece.

[@xjcrossx]

Nice job working it out. You have taught me so much already. I realized that I know jack shit about chess after downloading a chess app and put it on the hardest level thinking I am decent enough to give it a go. It seemed like every piece I moved was taken, or trapped, or made to strip naked and dance. I have never felt so defeated in any other game. I'm learning though lol

[@tonidue9317]

I really feel like for opponent knew about your tendency to struggle with time and he wanted to simply outplay you on the Clock by doing the moves extremely fast. This was his main blunder I’d say, as time pressure alone is not enough to win. Well done! ( Also HBD to the editor)

[@darylmorse]

Congratulations, Anna! Way to go!

[@markbailey5393]

Well hidden emotions. I thought you were going to lose. Well done Anna.

[@wagsman9999]

Wow. Well played. That was more entertaining than all of the bowl games!

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Love the confidence: "I came here to win the tournament." My favorite sport was Motocross, and the men in that sport use to have that kind of confidence. "I didn't come here to get 2nd" (Bob Hannah, 1970's men) So if you become great, and somebody wants you to be humble? The heck with that! You did not put in all that work to become great, just to be quiet about it so some loser does not feel bad. If not now, I bet you will understand pretty soon. :) Love the confidence. I love human greatness. Not jealous at all.

Well done Anna, good luck!
