Thx for sharing this game. Please keep showing the rest of the tournament. :-)

[@lukeb3930]

I came to the comments to say this. Love following the tournament one game at a time every few days!

[@ibpockets]

Yes, Please continue with the videos. I really enjoy your commentary. It helps me learn chess. Just started learning as a 65 yo senior adult.

[@Tom_in_CA]

I’m just starting too…stuck at 450…🥲😂😖

[@user-nj9ce7ce6s]

@@Tom_in_CA Study openings and analyse your games! Also one thing that helped me a lot, try to spot your mistakes during playing but aslo when you analyze your games so you can correct yourself from falling into traps and stuff

[@michelvanderlande2334]

Love your video's! You brought chess back into my life after a long time. Thank you.

[@rogeryoung464]

This is your best video. You narrative was cogent. You came across as more mature and I learned quite a bit about Chess strategy. Well done! I have been watching your videos for a few months now and find them entertaining, educational, and they have rekindled my interest in Chess after many years of not playing. You are a great ambassador for Chess!

[@Bergerac47]

I spent the first half of the game wondering why you didn’t play b4. Then you explained and I remembered why I’m not good at chess…

[@jirijura]

But b4 was still playable... 1. b4 Ne6. 2. Qd3 Rxe3. 3 Qxe3 ...

[@brutusjack4911]

Yes, Anna- want to keep watching you play. I learn so much! That game was great! One of the most exciting games I ever saw you play, and I have been watching all your tournaments. Wow. Plus, I play Queens Gambit and Sicilian- so I learn some tactics from you. You are a great chess streamer and teacher.

[@steeevealbright]

This is the best kind of chess content.

[@Ploobstill]

Heck yea we want to see the other rounds! Love ya Anna. You make it so much fun.

I really enjoy your videos! u clearly show ur thinking style in any positions and undoubtly a sense of respect for any opposite player, first attitude for playing chess in my opinion. And defintly Yes, i would appreeciate other videos of tournament! best wishes☺!

[@cstevephillips]

I looked up London Knight Chess and found a web page saying that they meet at 1pm on Sundays at London Runners 130 Druid Stret SE1. I recognised the location in this video. I went there on Sunday 25th Feb and there was no chess being played! When you next visit London, I would recommend the cafe in the middle of Holland Park. There is a thriving chess community there during summer months

[@jeffreybaird7068]

Your explanations are getting really good.

[@bacca71]

Frank, a truly class act! Good commentary, enjoyed it all.

[@kathawenzel8033]

Great game, very interesting as always. I love your commented games to be able to follow your thought process. And yes round no. 3 please!

[@NotTheUnsub]

Great video Anna! Enjoying the narrated format. About the question of why it seems like you move faster in rapid vs blitz? I think is because of the ratio of time spent thinking and clock time. For example, if you spend 1 minute thinking before a move in a 10 min rapid game, that only uses 10% of your clock time. Whereas In blitz, that same 1 minute in a 3 min blitz game already takes up 1/3 of your clock time. Frank seems like a really pleasant person to be around and a good sport. Yes, please show the rest of the tournament.

[@paulwal222]

I love the editing style. Please keep 'em coming. Also, very slick... We know you made that move on purpose!

[@bryniac5]

I said it on your Spanish channel and I'll say here too, I was really sad you did not win the Best Chess Streamer, it seemed kind of unfair to have Tyler1 as a nominee there, I think they should regulate that and put at least a range of streaming hours/days to be elegible for a category, anyways, love your content, it is great, you and Levy inspired me to play, I have never played chess seriously prior to this year, but so far its been almost 2 months of playing daily and studying some theory too thanks to you, greetings from Colombia.

[@lewisgiles8855]

How close was it? I voted Anna!

[@invisiblelathatatlan]

Who the f* is Tyler? I mean, Anna really works hard and creates great chess content. And the Oscar goes to... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Never heard of him, checked out his wiki page and theres only 1 reference to chess there, his 2024 best chess streamer win. Bizarre

[@lewisgiles8855]

Sus

[@alveolate]

i prefer the smaller board with edited arrows while you explain, it's super easy to follow. also, we get to see more live footage including your occasional goofy smiles and commentary about your goofy smiles!

[@gentlethor421]

It is so refreshing to hear a Holistic Approach in describing the game: from the swaying, the smiling, the black suit. In your next video, try playing some instrumental music in time with the swaying. That can be your Signature Move.

[@drnomad16]

YES! Of course I want to see game three!

[@Arcanon10]

I love how the music makes this so serious. Love it :)

[@klauseuler9186]

Just play: Ruelle - Game of Survival with Anna as Drama Queen

[@KenKurkowski]

I wonder what piece of music this is? Very ominous sounding.

[@edwardroberts7712]

Yes, round 3 please! What a fun tournament!

[@megaapfel]

The rule that your opponent has to point out the illegal move is so stupid when you are playing with time restrictions 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@gunzor8717]

Yeah, it also incentives desperate attempts to "accidentally" cheat - because there is a tiny probability that you will get away with it.

[@AlkoOhjuksineen]

Who else would make the call though?

[@ivan_pozdeev_u]

@@AlkoOhjuksineen Anyone. Spectators, for example.

[@barneydenstad2148]

@@ivan_pozdeev_u Im not sure spectators are allowed to comment mistakes? Next question is what happens with time? I have a vague memory the idea is, ref stoppes the clock, and the innocent one gets one minute extra??

[@starship1701]

That rule has so much potential for some hilarious games, where both players are completely clueless that every single move they're making is illegal.

[@Raugturi]

I assume this happens a ton with kids who are just starting out.

[@_APV_]

@@Raugturi I love the story GM Finegold told about him looking at a game kids were playing in a club, asking "where are your kings though?" and getting a nonchalant response of "we exchanged them a long time ago".

[@jennj6107]

​@@_APV_I teach kids chess and the number of times I've walked by a board where one or both kings are off the board and a bunch of random pieces are still there and the kids are still playing 🤦‍♀️

Discovered check.

[@Galahad54]

Double discovered check. Don't see that every day.

[@Alexander-dt2eq]

why didnt she take his queen? its not a checkmate with Qg7 appears she did not even see her own double check. could have taken black's bishop

"I guess this is how you feel when I'm playing chess." This brought such a smile to my face! Thanks again, Anna, for brightening my day.

[@davidnelson4960]

More! How about Anna's Chess Diaries?

[@JimBalter]

Even without the illegal move you have an easy win with Rxc8, defending your queen via x-ray. He can't play Qxc8 due to Nxf5+ winning both bishop and queen.

[@word20]

Let us see all the rounds in the tournament

[@xadrezbrasil]

Here i am sit waiting for round 3

[@songoku-jx3cb]

Anish giri :- yeah yeah don’t let them guess your next move yeah Frank :- maybe at my funeral

[@dropyghost]

13:20 Before the illegal move. When black play Kg7, engine show white winning by a lot. I guess next move should be Rc8 capturing the rook. If black take with queen you can do Ke8 check and capture the queen, and if he trade queens, you still have an extra rook

[@ladnavar]

I think you can trade Queens, take the bishop with your knight, and run the pawn up giving you a Rook & Queen vs Rook endgame, or Rook vs no rook maybe...

[@JimBalter]

No no no, Rxc8 is much stronger, winning a full rook. Black can't recapture Qxc8 due to Nxf5 double check.

[@JimBalter]

You mean Nxf5+, not "Ke8 check", which isn't a thing.

[@dropyghost]

@@JimBalter You are right beginner here I thought K as in Knight. But yes, I said Rc8 should be the next move

[@tjoifilmworks]

Anna win by deflecting opponent's rook from his queen = NO Anna win by deflecting opponent's vision from her illegal move = YES

[@sigma_curry]

I knew Anna had a crush on this guy when she complimented his suit.

Great video. Illustrates difference between playing a person rather than a computer.

[@Colin-to1nv]

Yes, well done: that's how it works, you have to ask or say so, else it doesn't count,....just like in cricket: LBW cannot be given unless it is asked for. The request is, strictly speaking: "How was that?" In chess, saying: "Check," is necessary, or the moment can pass...

[@danielbabakian4921]

You streamed this whole tournament on your twitch channel??

[@Exceptional27]

this tournament is great

[@CumGuzzler69360]

So if he had noticed it, would he have been able to “capture” your king and win the game? Or do you just have to put your knight back and continue from there?

[@trex9263]

I have the same question.

[@h2f259]

It would be the end of the game right then and there. At best, they could call an arbiter but he/she would have to declare it a win in his favor. Illegal move = instant loss.

[@playandteach]

Me too. Also when you played Rook C1, Stockfish seemed not to like it. What would've the favoured computer move? (I don't know how to access Stockfish).

[@scifino1]

Not sure about rapid, but in tournament blitz, doing an illegal move is an instant loss.

[@CumGuzzler69360]

@@orlandopockets6372 yeah but you literally don’t have any friends.

[@rossk4864]

Wow! How can that happen with two advanced players? If I didn't see it, I wouldn't have believed it. Great video!!

[@Aaron-xq6hv]

Look at Carlsen vs Inarkiev, it can happen at every level.

[@KenKurkowski]

@@Aaron-xq6hv Was that the game where in a time scramble one player's King attacked the opposing King, and it RETREATED! I'm sure I've seen that happen.

[@Aaron-xq6hv]

@@KenKurkowski I don't remember the exact movement, but it was a Blitz game where Inarkiev was in check and then "ignored" it and gave a counter-check to Magnus' king, Magnus then moved his King and Inarkiev claimed he played an illegal move.

[@M-F-H]

Rules of chess : If the opponent does not claim and the arbiter does not intervene, the illegal move shall stand and the game shall continue. Once the opponent has made his/her next move, an illegal move cannot be corrected unless this is agreed by the players without intervention of the arbiter.

[@jeromehenen8256]

i have never heard of that rule where illega move is let go if no one noticed it,

[@AdHocF1]

It really feels like playing an illegal move should get you disqualified no matter what, even late after the fact.

[@megaapfel]

​@@AdHocF1Yes. This rule enables cheating.

[@stevemotocrayz2892]

Perhaps this rule should be termed the Niemann regulation..??
