Super GM Said My Opponent Was A Chess GENIUS

This is the recap of my chess game from round 7 in the Rilton tournament played in Stockholm, Sweden. My opponent played a BRILLIANT queen sacrifice and GM Jon Ludvig Hammer (peak 2705) called him a chess genius. Drop a like and let me know in the comments if you liked the game :)

Anna, you're killing me with your uncanny ability to get in time trouble. It's like you have this superpower to stress out all your fans.

[@traida111]

call it thourough calculating. if she spent less time she might miss something. In the end she had time to finish and check mate so I'd say it was time well spent 😛

[@dipthongmandible8348]

Loving these recaps and your enthusiasm for each game , win or lose. Awesome queen sac by opponent! And Hammers commentary and reaction is priceless. Good luck!

[@point-bl4nk]

I had the pleasure to watch Hammer live commentate the otb tournaments that the Botez sisters played last year. He's gold, this game was almost like designed around him :)

[@Souleater_XXX]

Did the Botez sisters ever play against Anna? That would be fun... and thrilling 🤣

[@davidswelt]

Great commentary. I'm learning so much from these tournament recaps. Thank you, Anna!

[@Googlium]

I feel bad for the guy losing after doing such a good move.

He also had a few more recovery options to have squeezed a win out but alas and alak.

Watched the game live and it was so thrilling. I think we were all on the edge of our seats. Hammer did a great job and your recaps are put together well and help to relive the moments. Thanks for doing all this.

[@chrissicaras7339]

It was a great game -- very exciting. But I disagree with JL Hammer. The move Q e2 is a standard tactic when the back rank is weak since white's rook on e1 is in forced to stay on the first rank to defend against mate. Congratulations Anna for finding a defense in difficult and scary circumstances!

[@walterwillis6731]

This was a fantastic and exciting game. Well played, Anna.

[@AlexAlex-zq5wz]

its impressive how you manage always to be so positive , of course you won and you are extra happy now but even when you lose you keep being positive and thats beautiful you are awesome

You're running a really nice audio visual setup, Anna. Super clear and very high production quality. Great content too.

[@kfleetwood]

I look forward every day to seeing these matches, and they are never disappointing! Great job Anna!

[@babyitsnatural]

This is such an EPIC tournament Anna. It's like reading a Japanese manga where you're the main character. And then you have the announcer on the sideline saying, "Oh they are moving so fast we can't even see them anymore!"

Great game Anna!. It was amazing. That is the problem with sacrifices. You must see all the continuations. Well defended Anna. Keep going.

[@briandwi2504]

Well done to your opponent! It must have been difficult for him to play under the spotlight and he played really well and was completely charming at the end. A real gentleman. Great game, thanks both.

[@JimBalter]

What spotlight? Anna isn't anything special and he probably doesn't know that she blogs her games. And he didn't play really well .. he was losing until she blundered, and then his Qxf1 was a patzer's move -- if you're going to give up a queen for a rook you had better be sure it works.

[@dirk954]

Wow. Outstanding Anna. Your Game was Thriller to watch!!!!

[@joshuatopp8018]

Amazing match and commentary from Hammer!! Still shocked that your opponent found the queen move, then so happy that he blundered his queen! Great played Anna, even with a blunder or two, it happens to everyone!! Win tomorrow and then the last game now!!!!

[@JimBalter]

Being happy that someone blunders is psychotic. You stans need to face the fact that she isn't going to sleep with you.

Yay. Give the King some space hehe.. Great game and great opponent.

[@kmunson007]

These recaps of your tournament games are the best content on KZbin!!!!

[@davidholland4713]

So not only stress causes blunders, but playing a great queen sac can cause you to get overconfident and blunder. Chess is such a rollercoaster of emotions. Obviously, players want to stay calm and calculate precisely but that is hard to do under the psychological impacts of unexpected moves. And figuring out the best move order, such as when to pause your attack to play h3, is similarly psychologically difficult. But the more Anna is in these conditions, the more resilient she will become. Her play is of such a high standard, even under time pressure.

[@leechap3]

That was super entertaining, and instructive, well done Anna!

[@brucecrane9605]

Very interesting path to your winning outcome. Sometimes opposite player blunders cancel, and you're left with who made the most smart plays for the win.

Time management Anna. Time management.

[@robertberg1609]

I don't think you need to calculate to mate to justify the quality sacrifice. You Eliminate his best defensive piece leaving him with just a knight to defend against the attack. And also taking away hist threat against the F2 square. PS thanks for amazing game and stream!!

[@scottski51]

Gad zooks!! What a crazy game! Apparently... sadly... in tournament play, the clock can take such good early chess and turn it into mush when players have to hurry. Very entertaining video, Anna!! Esp. love hearing, from a expert level player, the words... "I was afraid..." as that enters my lexicon about the 5th move of every game! Along with "oh, Crap... that was really stupid !!!" (Or, with a nod to Mr. Rosen... "Oh, NO! My Queen!"

I was watching from California early in the morning and enjoyed it thoroughly. Congratulations!

[@atf300t]

5:12 I think rerouting of your knight was a mistake, because the knight controlled d4 and e5. It would be better to play Bf4 to preserve the control of the center.

[@quandumphone]

That was really fun to watch! You are so impressive overall but especially during the time crunch. It has also been real nice to watch your mom’s and Hammer’s commentary. Very educational.

That was awesome Anna and I loved Boomer Hammar’s commentary and Juan keeping an eye on your game at the end. It like I was watching James Hunt win the F1 world championship, an hour of small margins then a mad dash for the flag at the end. Evidently I’m the last of the boomer generation that somehow ended up in Twitch.
