[@jasonuerkvitz3756]

Hi, Coach Kostya!

[@hulkslayer626]

Hahahaha as soon as she said your name I was like "OH! The guy that explains the Daily Puzzle to me sometimes?! Anna beat him?! 😮😁" lol

[@BruceNewhouse]

Excellent game. My admiration for both.

[@JoeBob79569]

I like these videos where you talk about your thought process during the game, because a lot of people who review chess games just talk more about moves and variations, rather than talking about how they actually think during a game.

[@DavidRapahel]

yes , j'apprécie cela, et pouvoir comparer nos façons de penser dans l'action est précieux. Merci.

[@aliciagracekuendig]

I totally agree!

[@nicolidz]

exactly this is the best way to learn for us

[@jackwoods535]

I like that she talks off screen and shuts up OTB...for a change.

[@fdm698]

I think it always shows great character when people realise they've fallen for a tactic but still let you play out the checkmate :)

[@Mr12Relic]

He was up on time. Technically he had a far better option after her Qxg8+ (instead of Rxg8, Rxg8+) of just Qf8, losing the queen but opening a path for the king.

[@fdm698]

@@Mr12Relic That's your perspective, looking on it in retrospective and spotting this idea (I haven't looked at whether it works or not since it's irrelevant to the point I was making). His perspective during the game is very clearly "oh damn I've lost".

[@Mr12Relic]

@@fdm698 I didn't notice it was a +2sec game, so it's certainly over. I only play flat time.

[@dougjustdoug6391]

I loved his reaction when he realized the trap he had fallen into, his eyebrows immediately went up and he knew he was in deep trouble.

He was trying to see if she had follow through. Masters know they can force you into a mistake, he wanted to see if she would follow through, as one mistake would have set her in a very nasty position.

[@Smannellites]

What a nice guy and what a super attitude, allowing you to play out the checkmate.Great game Anna!

[@tchamp72]

That's because he understands that playing it out is better content for youtube.

The degree of Anna's happiness at the end was intense

The confidence gained from this game showed in the games after in the Maia tournament. Well played.

What a gentleman and good sport

[@lior3217]

Anna is mesmerising, respect for him letting u finish the trick

[@mizofan]

Very well played, felt solid, never in trouble. He took it well, and gave the checkmate pleasure- easier to do with such a likeable and popular opponent, but good to see !

[@aaronchan1088]

this is by far her biggest win in her chess career, though it wasn't classical chess. congrats... well played.

[@NotTheUnsub]

Congrats! That was an amazing sequence of moves you made for the checkmate! Glad to see you happy! Very nice of him to let you play it out for the actual mate. He seems so chill!

[@stephenhowe4107]

Absolutely amazing 5-move ending with Rg1 the setup move. The smil on Anna's face afterwards

[@Mr12Relic]

But it wasn't forced to 5. After her Qxg8+, he missed Qf8, losing the queen but giving the king a path.

[@Mr12Relic]

8:32: Fist bump! 👊 from a real G : ) Lol. That was cool of him.

[@erikmattson875]

That was an outstanding performance by you Anna. You looked incredibly poised in this match, very well done. I have to say this was the best performance from you I've ever seen. This is how you need to play, poised and focused. You are very dangerous on the chess board when you play like that. It's how your mom plays so well, I've noticed.

[@SydneySyd-nv7uv]

For anybody wondering about Qf8, I put this position in 3200 max rated robot (above super grandmaster level) and I still won. It would be 2 bishops and a knight against 2 bishops, a knight, AND 2 rooks. Victory in about 10 moves.

[@JimBalter]

Qf8 is certainly lasts longer but after Nxf8 Rxg8 Rxg8 white is up two rooks.

[@icollectstories5702]

Thanks, I noticed the analysis engine saw some daylight instead of a forced mate, but it's nice to know that it requires you to defeat your opponent in a drinking game to win.

[@evergrey4life955]

Another step (or rung) up the ladder. Good job, Anna!

[@gilashroot8697]

This is a very special video. Thank you for sharing! Congratulations on the wins! It is so good to see 3 women win. I agree, if you have the same number of points, you are equal, but it is nice to have clear positions too. I am happy you did so well ❤❤❤.

A one move combination that was invisible to computers. Truly a remarkable achievment.

[@zapatafa]

I am so happy you posted a good game in which you win. It is interesting to watch all the games you post. Your defeats are always interesting and educational, but after a while they become disheartening. I'm glad to see you did so well here and won. Thank you for sharing.

[@ModernArtery]

GG Anna! Your happy reaction when you won this game was so heartwarming, and congrats on the great performance!

[@Mr12Relic]

I beat the 2000 bot with an opening I haven't studied with some inaccuracies, feeling my way through multiple positions where only 1 move worked, setting up a powerful checkmate threat while they stole my rook, then I forked their queen and their necessary knight with a defended bishop, then they threw every possible piece into the grinding gears, but nothing stops this train. Review estimate 2350. I'm 1200 but high in puzzles.

[@PJL7095]

He seems like a pretty cool guy & took the loss in stride. To me, that’s the way it should be … opposed to tossing the board with all the pieces into the air

[@Chillaxer599]

We love to see happy Anna, especially after such a tough game earlier in the day. ❤

[@NuMountain]

Has something happened in the world of chess or have I never seen how it really is? Grew up in the Cold War era and chess was very much also politics. The power struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States was reflected in all the chess matches I had the opportunity to follow. Of course only via the press in my home country. The Internet wasn't born after all. I am only a novice regarding the sport of chess. But still, I can see the divide within the chess community. Broadly speaking, it seems that there is, on the one hand, a great winning mentality, regardless of opposition. "You take no prisoners.", regardless of who you face, e.g. what age the opponent is. - No mercy. On the other hand, there seems to be a so humility stands for its opponent. If you lose, you don't show bad sportsmanship, instead chess culture seems to encourage you to reflect together with your opponent on the match you just played. There seems to be a really nice camaraderie in the chess world. I also realize that at the highest level it is different to a certain extent. There is a certain diva status and there still seems to be extreme prestige and a big mental game in terms of things that we see in all other sports. mental games, disagreements, wars about everything possible. It still feels like chess has brought us closer, rather than further away.

[@mellertid]

Maybe Pia can be asked to reflect on what has changed and what's the same!

well done! I was that 13 year old boy, well not THAT particular boy... but like him. I learned from my dad and uncle who had won tournaments in Buenos Aries, they never let me win a game that i had not truly won on my own. Then I started beating them regularly. as i got older none who challenged me won, friends and family alike. my uncle wanted me to play pro, BUT i got into pot and that was that.

At the end he must have thought ''I hope she dont see this'', 4 moves later ''she saw it''. Anna that was savage, no mercy :D

[@mnemex]

k x e4 was a big blunder! It was blocking a lot of lines before it moved out of position and lost critical tempo!

Even if he couldn’t or didn’t calculate the ramifications of Nxp, he should have realized that such a move might open him up to a counterattack by her Queen and rooks…and knight. Even I, an 1800 player, realized instantly that white must have a winning move at that point.
