Translation of the French parts (related to the game): 1:56 "I've almost caught up with her (on time)" 2:14 MVL "You've worked on your rook endgames, haven't you?". Jules: "Yeah, I've worked on them". 2:52 MVL "Woah woah...". Jules: "What?". MVL: "This is not far from being losing (for black)". 3:09 "What was that b5 move I did?...". MVL: "Yeah b5 was unbelievable." Jules: "You were stressing me out." 4:26 "Uuh... That wasn't the move, was it?". MVL: "Yes, it was". Jules: "No, it wasn't. It's bishop a6 first." MVL: "No." Jules: "How is not bishop a6 first?" 4:46 "I'm in trouble." 5:13 "Woah, I'm gonna get mated." 5:18 MVL: "You asked for it." 6:13 "Shiiit." (He says "sa mère" which literally means "her mom", but is commonly used to say "shit" or "fuck"). 7:03 "Woah, I'm radiating" (French expression when a piece has a lot of reach, e.g. a rook on an open file) 7:12 MVL: "Is she never gonna open that file?" ... "It's too much, too much! She could have saved the game with e5 for the past 50 moves."

[@thechuckberryfan98]

The way you could see all of those moves to realise that an endgame was presenting itself. For me, that was the amazing part 🤓

[@SasidharPamganamamula]

Look at the evaluation bar when Jules plays b5 at 2:52 and look at MVL's reaction. MVL realised the pattern well instantly while the evaluation bar took almost 15s to realise the blunder by black.

[@jonasbley2602]

is the pattern take and play f5? then blacks pawns cant move

[@javiermarchenahurtado7013]

@@jonasbley2602 I think so. After axb5 cxb5 f5, eventually black will run out of waiting moves and will have to go Kd6, then white plays Ke4, d5, etc.

I love how Anna while playing with usual people at parks makes her moves during a second but then some cool guy comes and it's completely opposite - he makes his moves fot a second while she struggles. Ironical that the chain can go on - Carlsen comes and this guy will start thinking long while the champion will take it for seconds. Later stockfish comes and Carlsen starts having time issues...

Sage advice: 1: get good at the endgame. 2: Get good at getting to the endgame.

[@lennoxfyne54]

Connecting basis from one position to the other point and lining them together

[@Steveross2851]

Endgames are so important! Even many otherwise very strong players are bad at endgames! So the logic of the importance of learning endgames is clear. The problem is that as a new player, everyone gets crushed by strong players long before the endgame! What do we do? Maybe the closest thing to a solution is: (1) first learn enough about openings and middle games to survive the early stages of games against anyone; and only then (2) seriously study endgames beyond the basic mates and simplest king and pawn endgames. The most important king and pawn endgames must be known cold as well as Philidor's drawn pawn down rook endgame and the Lucena pawn up won endgame. Other essential knowledge to know cold includes king and queen against king and pawn (which ones are drawn or not and why) as well as how to win with good knight against bad bishop. It's really surprising how even many players rated above 2000 mess up these relatively simple and oh so common endgames!

@@kevinsantillans7415 In fact even lot of Super GM at 2700+ are not very well known, to be popular in chess you have to be in the 30-50 best players in the world or a promising young genius. Jules is well known in France but he will have to increse his rating or win big events to become popular across our borders.

[@ummyg69]

When Anna’s opponent played b5, she could’ve exchanged on b5 and played f5 completely paralysing black. Then the only move for black would’ve been h5 which would’ve been responded to by blockading the pawn with h4. Now if a6, g3. If a5, bxa5 and the pawn promotes first. Basically could’ve forced zugwang

[@FallaciousRamblings]

It's amazing how fast MVL saw that, like just the second Jules played the move.

[@ummyg69]

[@brawdygordii]

Caution: everything looks bigger in the rear view mirror!

[@MrEsMysteriesMagicks]

Here's something I hope Anna's fans will enjoy. It is, with apologies to Nimzowitsch, my system. It has only three principles and its own special endgame axiom: 1. Drop a pawn in the opening. 2. Fight like crazy until you hang a piece in the middlegame. 3. Resign during the endgame. I would like to point out that this system works 100% of the time for me.

End game 🤔, when does end game start? I wonder, does it start when you have all your pawns in place and the king castled, i wonder. It would make sense to have a decent setup before purposely trading pieces for advantage.
