ROUND 4 - SWEDEN vs ALBANIA - CHESS OLYMPIAD 2024 | Hosted by GM Hammer

[@justbrowsing5279]

Hammer is perfect for this. He's incredibly knowledgeable, but talks at a pace that a 1000 rated player like myself can learn from, and I'm learning a lot. He's brutally honest, which I greatly respect. Even though he will freely admit he is exited for Sweden wins because he is getting paid, you can tell he is genuinely on board and is actually excited. And his distaste for chat while simultaneously engaging and being gullible enough to fall for trolling is adorable. I can't follow any other commentary but Hammer's. Love it. Hammer's commentary accuracy is 100%%%%%%%%%%

[@jjs2351]

I've played for 50 years, but have learned quite a bit from Hammer's commentary.

[@spindoctor6385]

Anna should choose somebody better. The guy is as relatable as a politician.

I really enjoy the selectivity and measured analysis Hammer provides. I find it very clear and informative. As a bonus, I find Hammer's deadpan humor hilarious, and enjoy his candid comments and occasional frustrations.

[@Lovetheviolins]

In GM Hammer, we trust... In chess... GM Hammer gave Anna some tough love...

[@robertomst]

Thanks for sharing Anna and also thanks for Hammer for the excelent commentaries.

[@bernardducharme4085]

You should make a cut of Anna's opening with Hammer's explanations. It's a complete masterclass on the sveshnikov, very very instructive, I loved it.

[@ronaldarnold6818]

Anna and Jon are very authentic personalities in the debriefing. It's very, very entertaining and informative.

[@AlanTov]

Germany next! Very tough. Their lowest ranked player is 2283!!

[@atf300t]

Based on the rating, Germany is a stronger opponent than France. The expected value of points for Sweden against France was 1.25, but it is only 0.88 against Germany.

[@NotTheUnsub]

Congrats! Your improved time management was noticeable this game. I think you were ahead in time most of the game and seemed like you only needed the longer time thinking in the critical times.

[@grigoriyorekhov3238]

Hammer is the best commentator. Thank you, Hammer!

[@davidkettell1073]

HE IS A BORING PERSON.

[@richystyles]

Yeah agreed I'm so glad she got Hammer to commentate while her and Pia are playing. His awesome! And congrats Anna and Pia on your wins today 😄

[@davidhale8034]

​@@davidkettell1073aww poor little Dave desperate for attention 🤣🤣🤦

[@sigurdivar4227]

Gratulerar! Vi hoppas på dig i nästa omgång också. Lycka till!

[@mellertid]

A good thing in Swedish and Norwegian is the concept världsdel (lit. "world-part"), that fits Europe while Continent must mean Eurasia and / or remain confusing. A continent means something by definition in nature, while världsdel similar to country is just... our opinion (political rather than geographical).

[@smvb77]

2:44:20 Appreciate the correction regarding accuracy. I did not know that. (Am I a little twisted if I enjoyed how aggravated GM Hammer got a few minutes later? Chat being chat....)

[@roems31]

I was not fan of you Hammer, since I like so much the passion of Pia, but your explanations are really great. Thanks for sharing Anna :)

[@lizziefrances]

So enjoying Hammer's raging over the percent debate. He will be so ready for the rest day. Chat loves to poke the bear!

[@goldnutter412]

Great streams and videos :)

[@georgemacdonald8899]

Lovely comments hammer, thanks!

[@jefftinney3131]

Congrats Anna! Some drama at the end but Jon knew the ending.

[@michaelervin9325]

Congratulations Anna!!

[@arkantosan]

2:48:10 Hammer is 100% annoyed at this point 😂

[@chicassoproductions8527]

Hammer 🔨⚒️🎈🫡

[@chasechase8333]

GM Hammer getting upset by the trolls, fueling the fire for them to troll him more 🤣

[@georgemacdonald8899]

Hey Anna, perhaps the Swedish Fish company could make some chess shaped candy and you could give those as a gift...

[@danresler6816]

Anna broke KZbin. I can't get this to play!

[@niclasvestman]

Djungelvrål?? I'm pretty sure chemical warfare is banned in chess 🤔

[@amazme1398]

Anna won!

[@andychan344]

do not give candy or food as gift - they might suspect you of trying to drug them. just a joke good game anna

[@nicolaspeters2555]

Wow, u won another game. Let us know how many games u won in this tournament, we will put Eu5 p/game

[@barryc6231]

What about q-b2?

[@SuzanneScordo-ez2xn]

Congratulations Team Sweden 💖

[@InfiniteMeditationsChess]

Nice Congrats.

[@Kindimsweet]

We trust in you ‼️📢🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Hesh666]

Did Anna Win?

[@RonGerstein]

@@Hesh666 The 45th Chess Olypiad website said Anna lost

[@TobiasLundqvist-ys2xw]

​@@RonGersteinNo it doesn't. It states that Anna won , and Sweden won 4-0. Just give your trolling a rest now OK? Sigh!

[@mer1red]

YES she won. I just checked the 45th Chess Olympiad website. The initial error is corrected.

[@richystyles]

@@TobiasLundqvist-ys2xw It initially said she lost (even though we know she didn't) so chat was just joking about it. You can briefly see the error in the stream if you want to watch the final moments of her game (around 3:55:43).

[@spacecow149]

very cool! :)

[@AlanTov]

Does anyone know the last time Anna beat a player above 2100??

[@goupigoupi6953]

I like licorice.

[@ralphmellor1909]

I could swear Hammer was just about to win against the tsunami of doom -- and then boom, the ex planet Pluto crashed thru the sky and it seemed as if all was lost! Oh well. BTW, did Anna really lose?

I don't like Hammer - he is undeniably fantastic at chess but arrogant, elitist and unapproachable. Pia is wonderful

[@descabronator]

Eres bonita ❤

[@Uhtredrag1080]

Hammer and Anna should date.

[@RonGerstein]

How could Anna lose?

[@mer1red]

I hope Hammer doesn't see your comment, because he would get a heart attack :-). He did his utmost to convince the chatters that *the information on the digital chessboard was wrong* . Many did not believe him. So I repeat once more after him: *she didn't lose* .

[@RonGerstein]

@@mer1red the official website says Anna lost

[@RonGerstein]

@mer1red The 45th Chess Olypiad website said Anna lost

[@TobiasLundqvist-ys2xw]

The official site states clearly that both Anna won, and also team Sweden 4-0. There has been a lot of trolling in the comments today for some strange reason, unclear what they want really....
