My Mom Played The Female World Chess Champion!!!!!!!

[@guidopahlberg9413]

It was correct to invite Pia. She belongs into this world-class tournament.

[@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf]

...as demonstrated up till this last move. Great game!

[@zambot264]

She had 4 points didn't she?

[@dominickcharbonneau9250]

Pia was basically in Ju Wenjuns position at one time their ratings are essentially the same in my eyes

[@PXR5-PXR5]

​@@dominickcharbonneau9250 There was even a period when she was the worlds strongest female (A year or two) but there was no championchip during that time, so she didnt beacame WM. Bad timing.

This for me is an absolute win!! She drew the reigning world champion twice in a row! Absolutely magnificent. ❤

[@priscalynne8804]

❤❤ One for each. Pia and Anna inspired me to learn to play chess at 61. I randomly watched a full round of the Reykjavik open with no knowledge of chess. I watched Pia’s excitement and the way her computer-like brain analyzed each move with amazement. I had no idea what was going on but I was hooked! Bravo mother and daughter!

It's never too late to learn or try anything. Good for you! Multiple studies show Chess is actually an activity that enhances mental health but it also delays the onset of dementia and Alzheimer's. Go P!🎉

Well done you!! How long did it take to get reasonable? Did you use an app or eg an AI opponent?? I'd like to give it a try!

[@boyuanchen4997]

I briefly interacted with Ju Wenjun in Dubai Police Cup last month... She is very calm when she plays chess, and she smiles a lot. She sometimes even smiles when she plays in tournaments. She is a very friendly person even though she is the top female chess player in the world. I also met Anna and her loving mother in NY at Washington Square Chess park in 2023. They had a nice game with the chess hustler in the park. It's so much pleasure to see this video. What a time to be alive...

[@ex0duzz]

"She is very calm when she plays chess, and she smiles a lot. She sometimes even smiles when she plays in tournaments." So she smiles a lot when she plays chess, but not when she plays chess(in tournaments)? Am I missing something or she smiles a lot only when it's non tournament chess games but rarely smiles during tournament games? As a pro that means she doesn't smile often then since as a pro and as a world champion I am assuming she plays primarily tournament games?

[@shinyam75]

It seems many of the top players are very arrogant and unpleasant: Kasparov, Korchnoi, Fischer, Nakamura, Carlson, and even lower rated players such as Gotham Chess. Big egos and attitudes.

[@MyOneFiftiethOfADollar]

Congratulations! Now you can tell your grandchildren you "briefly interacted" with a chess player. I am sure they will immediately schedule an autograph signing session at their school. Be ready dude! They may ask if you shook her hand with your left or right. Some may demand an approximate conversation word count.

❤ Pia is so outstanding!! Love to watch her play! I can see her live commenting you in that position against Ju getting super super excited about you having to recognize the knight f5 move that leads to the win. Thanks so much for sharing and explaining Pia's games, Anna!!

[@lucianovalenzuela1886]

❤ I love your mom's personality, she is so smart and also quite funny, and you can tell she loves you so much, you can see a happy family and that's worth more than any game, she is a massive winner. Good luck in the next games.

I understand why men and women are separated in physical sports but why are they separated in Chess? This makes zero sense to me.

[@tascolino538]

There's a physical part to chess as well. After a grueling 3 hour classical match you would actually be physically exhausted....as well as mentally.

[@Sleepyjudei]

Men and women have different brains. Different activities appeal to each and some are more naturally suited for men or women.

[@Alex-wo7dp]

@@Sleepyjudei different ways of thinking doesn't make them unequal like physical sports. For the idiot above who said there is a physical aspect to chess obviously never crunched a guy going over the middle in a football game so he can stay out of this topic.

[@EASTSIDERIDER707]

That was my reaction. Sounds like pandering to me.

[@wantblack2133]

It's not different. There's open category and then there is only female category (which was only made to motivate more women to play). The women can go play in the open category too. But I mean they get prizes in women's too so I believe it's just comfortable

[@-thrawn-]

❤ for Pia as requested! We are rooting for you, great job!

[@reqontra]

Great game, Pia! ❤❤❤ I remember watching her live in Belgrade in 1992, at the Sava Center conference hall. She had the highest ELO there and took the 3rd place in an extremely fierce competition. The 1st place was won by Maya Chiburdanidze, who was the world champion just a year prior to that event (she lost the world title match to Xie Jun in 1991). Some other famous names were present, such as Nona Gaprindashvili (also former world champion), Svetlana Matveyeva, Nana Ioseliani, as well as our best player ever, Alisa Maric. Pia came back to Belgrade in 1996 to another top championship where she took the 2nd place, the 1st again taken by Maya.

[@angelocoletto9143]

Very beautiful games. Your mom is a formidable opponent even for the world champion. And you Anna explained the game very well. You are an excellent communicator. I was thrilled the whole time. Great Cramling duo! ❤

I remember the old days when we in Norway was jealous of Sweden, our brother country that beat us in everything, having someone like Cramling - world top in chess. It is really extraordinary she is still a top player! As you may know, Magnus have been helpful for us, but we remember to root for Pia Cramling too!

[@hvatrordu1]
