This is actually a great idea to memember it

5:49 actually if your heart is not working, all your problems are basically over😅🤓

[@magiouskrat222]

“if your heart is not working, you are going to run into a lot of health issues” is an understatement. 😂😂😂

[@grandroyal66]

Yea, I had to pause after that advice😂❤

Not only that, you'll be dead...😅

[@Squant]

Add "correctly" after "working" and you could still have a somewhat regular life expectancy.

I was afraid of f6 or Bh6 but the N of beauty galloped in to save the day. And I learned that any health problems I might have could be due to my heart no longer beating. It's a video that keeps on giving. Life shouldn't be this good. Thanks tho Anna, appreciate the tips.

[@newworldforward1842]

Thanks! Way better than getting a serious case of KMPPS

[@judsongordy8872]

Please continue to deliver these fabulous educational videos! I love the trash talk blitz matches as well, but I’d love to see an equal number of these to pair them with :)

[@sadburai1]

agree 100%!

[@JoshuaFranta]

agreed. also KMAPS > KMPPS (sounds better, easier to remember difference)

[@ibiwisi]

Thanks for the clear explanations, @AnnaCramling! A humble suggestion, if I may. "KMPPS" is not very easy to remember; it's particularly hard to remember which "P" comes first in the analysis. You might substitute the first "P" with an "A, for "Activity." This is a double-purpose move! "K-MAPS" is much easier to remember, and now we don’t have two "P"s to sort out. Just a thought. Thanks for all of your excellent chess content!

[@r011ing_thunder6]

Brilliant move! Ima use this thank you edit: took a gay ahh emoji out

[@diamonddavemusic]

Yes. I had suggested the acronym KoMPPaS, but K-MAPS is so much better and easier to remember! Great idea.

[@ibiwisi]

Thanks,@@diamonddavemusic!

[@raemclellan7693]

and most importantly, K-MAPS is pronounceable

[@frolstty]

​@@raemclellan7693And it have a meaning, dont? If we read as "key-maps", it's a good idea how to guide us through a map that is the key for the winning hahaha

[@ChristianSoschner]

Great energy here. Love the passion in the speech. The love for the game and wanting to help the viewers comes across in a positive way. 👍🏻

[@synchemist6462]

Hi Anna, I'm not a big chess guy. I just watch your channel when I need a smile. Your amazing spirit and beaming smile lift my spirit every time. Thank you for your wonderful channel.

[@Raiaramis24]

Very similar situation here ;)

Thank you so much for making this video! Chess evaluation has always been a mystery for me. This is exactly what I needed!

[@SumSouuthernSugar]

I like all types of Chess videos you do. Trash talk sidewalk chess, international tournaments, and instruction are all entertaining. Your happy attitude is a drawing card for whatever you are doing.

[@newworldforward1842]

I like her hair

[@Ryan-jq8ov]

I too come for all the above and her hair

[@eveberger5787]

You have teached me more in 3-4 videos than anyone else I have listened! Your explanations are clear, simple and help me A LOT to understand this game I love so much but that is so mysterious to me. I am playing since 18 months and I'm stuck in a plateau. Not many good players like you take time to explain to beginners. You do it so well in your own style, without being arrogant and you know exactly the mistakes we do and the things we should know. I was about to give up but I watched you for the first in your vidéo Check/Capture/Attack and i immediatly saw à difference in the way i play. 🙏 thank you!

[@wookcookie6505]

Thank you Anna for this amazing video!! I love these videos that make me a better chess player. Please keep doing more of these and I would totally watch a video of you going through more of these positions and evaluating. And explaining more of how to implement this in my games to be a better chess player

[@michaelnilsen5082]

Thorough analysis with many useful practical tips. Anna, you have a knack at explaining in a relevant and concise way.

[@archivist17]

Great explanation, Anna! I've tried to grasp this sort of analysis before from books, but never really got it. I'm a lot closer to understanding now.

[@davedavenport3576]

Hi Anna. Your channel brings a lot of light-hearted fun to the game, and so is always a joy to watch. But it's also nice here to see you delving into a bit more traditional theory, because that showcases your more serious side, and a sound theoretical grasp of core principles. I've been trying to get back up to speed with chess after not playing for many years, and for me this was a great little refresher on stuff that I already knew but just needed to blow the dust off. Job done. Many thanks for all of your efforts!

[@christopherholmes395]

I would like to see more videos like this! Great tips Anna!

[@vladimirjuranic5621]

[@JK-fl6rx]

This is such a good learning, please do many videos like this: a situation and a walk through of the strategic analysis and plans

[@moshecallen]

At last! A video on how to evaluate a position. I've been needing and wanting that. Now I need a video on each letter explaining in detail how to evaluate those individual bits. Still, thank you very much.

[@CaptainAndy99]

Great video, thank you I needed a framework to apply. Very helpful.

[@gegaoli]

Thank you for this lesson!!!

[@zuzulka8000]

Thanks a lot Anna! I love videos like this. I hope you make more of them :)

[@marzianeri8372]

Always up for instructional videos, you are great at explaining and would appreciate if you did more and more! I have big problems at analyzing/evaluating, maybe this video will help a bit. I mean, in theory it did, we will see if I can use the knowledge!

[@ericeinerson6576]

I'm just starting to get into competitive chess, and I really appreciate your content after just a couple videos. Thank you for helping me get traction in my progression! Subscribed.

[@john.mathews]

KMAPS - King, Material, Activity, Pawns, Space

[@SpinStar1956]

SUBSCRIBED !!! For me, this was very insightful for not only the calculus but for the fact of assessing the real threat of a powerful piece in your backyard and maybe not needing to be too freaked-out; and that by placing a strategic piece with an appropriate capability (in this case a Knight) you do not have to be so preoccupied to the point of distraction! As a side note (and maybe a video for your?) is the use of the King as an active piece and weapon. I have had so much better results with strategically (and tactfully) using my King to not only attack, but to bolster the power of my other pieces, even if they are pawns that have already moved forward. I used to just about ignore my King and found that I spent so much time, material and calculation on keeping him safe--yet dormant; whereas if i looked to him as a support-piece, I found that I could free up so many-more resources especially in an attacking campaigns! So for me, I would really appreciate as many instructive videos as you feel would be valuable. Thanks You Very Much Anna! 😀

[@vmstanford]

Great video. Many of us need this kind of teaching videos, and yours was very clear and useful. More like this, please.

[@ace942]

Very well done video and an extremely important topic in helping people to improve their chess strength. You gave a lot of precise information and putting it into perpesttive.Thanks for putting this together.

[@WARRENBUFETT]

Wow! This is top notch. Thanks. I learned some really important things. Please make more analysis videos.

[@fabiangradolph]

Good summary. But I would add a 6th element: the tempo, or who has the initiative. Mijail Tahl was asked about which was the single most important factor in chess and he said it had taken him a time to understand that tempo is the most valuable element. You can sacrifice material or accept weaknesess in your position to gain tempo and initiative.

[@klauspoetsch1841]

Yes, you are right, but I would put this into piece activity, too. I would even put the important lines (moves) in this category, so you have to remember only 5 categories.

[@MrNASoul]

Most of the people here are learning and aren't ready for Tahl theory and I could say just study Magnus to trump you.

[@gregoryquick2091]

You’re the best. I open good, middle game pretty good. Then blunder away 1/2 my end games. Getting back after a year off. Thank you.

[@ok_e3w]

same, Im coming back after abit over half a year

[@ELPEGASOAJEDRECISTA]

¡Thank you Anna!, this is very useful because sometimes we think we are lost, but this help us to analyze difficult positions.

[@ashmax28]

Wow! very clear and engaging narration. This was very helpful. I just love the way you presented this.

[@nahtanojization]

More please! That was incredible.

[@ioannis2567]

More videos like that Anna!! It's so helpful! Thank you ❤😊

[@micahchaney1904]

Very helpful...love your energy! Thank you

[@zoltan567]

Hi Anna, Thenks for the video! This approach is really for me! I often get fustrated in mid games, being overwhelmed by the options I have. This guidlines seem simple enough follow for my simple mind :) . What I like about it, is that it allows me more spontaneous thinking by taking away the fustration.. More of such videos would be really great!

[@larryblum516]

Learning has never been such a pleasure!! Keep it up Anna.

[@dondavidjr2811]

Thanks for the information/advice/instruction ....yes please do some more videos like this.

[@garfieldfarkle]

Very good, thank you. I am curioous as to your thoughts about revealing your thinking to future opponents.

[@steamycarafe]

I enjoyed the video and will keep this knowledge in mind. Thank you!

[@Frank-ih9ew]

Thanks for the tips 😊 greatly appreciated

[@anywhywho]

we love your instructional videos, make more please

[@privatename3621]

This was helpful Anna, thank you. As a chess newbie, it's easy to dismiss the power of pawns to the end game, treating them as easily expendable and wanting to protect the more valuable pieces with my life, even to the point of not wanting to make any "exchanges" because it feels like to do so, you are losing your most powerful weapons. Which is why I am amazed after watching many of your videos at how quick and breezy you are at trading pieces to winnow down the other player's pieces but also your own. These are the hardest mindsets to break free from as a newbie which is why your videos are so important to watch and learn from.

[@andriolafsson897]

You are so good in explaining, I'm getting better every day. Thanks Anna✌️

[@Keith-yy8od]

I would like more instructional videos! But I do love Mom evaluating you during your competition as well!

[@dwakeling38]

I need more continuation! What if bishop to h3, now guarded by the queen, with the idea of displacing the great knight to open up the checkmate square on g7? Is the rook forced to exchange? Does that even things back up? My unrated sub-1000 brain can’t cope…

[@lemuelramirez1191]

Please more of these..I don't have a coach so these kind of contents help me a lot..thank you so much..

[@SwordInc.]

Thank you for this video, this was very helpful!

[@bubbalou3253]

[@harrysally4310]

This was an absolute master class! Thanks!

[@tender878]

Very lucid teaching and explanation of that method. Thanks, Anna. 🙂

[@filipponespoli]

Very very useful. I d really like you to make some other video like this. Loved

[@markj228]

Great video Anna! I dig your continuing passion for the game, as well as your passion for teaching!

[@EPACCP]

¡Muy útil Anna! ¡Muchas grácias! La verdad que sería muy útil si pudieras hacer algún que otro vídeo más sobre estos conceptos analizando otras posiciones y así poder reforzarlos y que los vayamos interiorizando. ¡Gran contenido! 💪

[@themoneymaker03]

Awesome video. Thank you Anna! Yes a video showing how to convert the pawn piece/structure endgame advantage to a win would be great. How and which pawns to move in the endgame is difficult for me and makes me anxious even when im up in material 😅 thanks again for the great content 🙂

[@alecmisra4964]

19:52 It seems to me that your opponents best chance is to attack the knight defending the king (using the ws bishop). This necessitates a rook exchange as the opening move for him. Black king can still hurriedly retreat however after the exchange. But it is a bad position.

[@roblemmens7487]

Same as I was thinking but I'm pretty novice so I guess it's probably not a good move or she would have mentioned it...

[@nobeerlion3991]

Excellent advice. Thank you, Anna

[@gregllamb2410]

Anna, you explain things so well, and make it fun, too. Love that smile.

[@kcinkg]

Really liking the instructional thing. Thanks

[@tahoemike5828]

Yes, I enjoy your teaching videos. I hadn't played in forty years, then the algorithm stared serving up your videos. I just watched "One." A week later I had an online chess account, and was up at night watching your videos about pawn structure etc. You are a good teacher. As a beginner, choosing one voice to listen to as a teacher helps. Trying to learn anything on KZbin can be like trying to drink from a fire hose. I like that you talk about the fundamentals. Not just 'if x, then y' but how and why. A couple of things I'd like to understand better: 1. When and why to sacrifice, trade, or defend a piece. As a beginner, I want to protect and defend ALL of my pieces. Every taken piece feels like a failure. However, when I watch better players they will seemingly happily trade, or sacrifice even the Queen, if it's the 'right' thing to do. How do you know when, and why to defend or not? 2. When is it time to be done 'Opening' and developing, and start to attack? How do I know when I've moved from opening to the mid-game? Should I think about them differently? And then, when do I start to think about endgames? How do I control those changes in the game? Can or should I force those moments on my opponent at times of my choosing or advantage? Or, is this something that just happens organically as the game proceeds, and I need to identify it and adapt as I go ? 3. The initiative. Related to #2 and controlling the flow of the game, how and when to take initiative and press; so that I don't spend the rest of the game on defense and running for my King's life. Even more importantly, how do I take it back when I am on defense? How do I create the space, or steal a tempo to begin a counterattack before it's too late? 4. Traps. How to set, bait, and spring them? Conversely, and more importantly how to detect and avoid falling in to them? My biggest blunders seem to happen when I think I'm being clever, and setting a trap; and then I get crushed from someplace I never saw it coming. That, "Oh man, how did I fall for that?" feeling is the worst! This lesson was a good one. I actually did write it down in my notebook. Lots to think about in what you laid out here. Thanks Anna.

[@BradLucas-cx3uz]

My advice is to emphasize development. Getting pieces into action as soon as possible. There are the ten golden moves.

[@davidblue819]

That was ENORMOUSLY helpful.

[@thatbeme]

Thanks. Just what I needed. 😊

[@mpl1029]

That was great! Thanks! I hope you do more instructional videos.

[@dripcode2600]

Glad you mentioned pawn stacking.

[@sleek24]

I love this video Anna. I’m a casual player, and this video was perfect for my level. 5 observations to analyze a position! Great idea for a video. KMPPS. Thanks.

[@WhiteGandalfs]

(4:00) Well :D The utter most important thing - as you realize looking at this - is: Training! To make it your hobby! To have plenty of time and events to make yourself familiar with the goal at hand (in this case: evaluation of chess configurations). Even such simple things like math rules on operator precedence will put you down if you have no continued and thorough training in it, but will become drastically trivial if you have. The same with chess (even not as trivial as operator precedence rules).

[@di380]

Great advise, I’ve been watching the Botez sisters OTB and found that in many positions they mis misevaluate their advantage. You have very solid fundamentals and have a great understanding of the overall game and that’s what makes you a very strong player. 👍👍

[@420weabooslayer]

Hey! It’s great that you’re advancing quickly. One piece of advice is enjoy the journey, don’t rush it to end. You can only gain elo for so long until you reach your ceiling. Enjoy the big jumps in elo!

[@scottharvey6892]

[@niceKamrul]

[@DaveRepairs]

The Bodmas rule follows the order of the BODMAS acronym ie B - Brackets, O - Order of powers or roots, D - Division, M - Multiplication A - Addition, and S - Subtraction or its called BIDMAS

[@jturcany]

Great tips, Anna! Thank you!!

[@simonforsberg3757]

Please post more videos like this. Analyzing these things, in combination with your "checks, captures and attacks" mantra could probably help me a lot.

[@johnryanmuldoon3631]

Anna, a light went on in my head when you made the connection between pawn structure and Queen trades. I had not really thought of it that way. Before I'd evaluate the desirability of Queen trades based on if I was up material, or my opponents queen was extremely active and threatening. This was really really valuable to me!

[@Pbadalamenti]

Excellent instructional video. As a beginner VERY valuable!!!

[@zhadebarnet3773]

Ugh, I can't even. This video has completely changed my game. I've now won so many games by giving up material to weaken their King's position, now that I really understand that that is the most important question. Absolutely love your content, thank you so much for being so generous with your knowledge.

[@cancelseeker]

"only chess advice you need...play monopoly!" solid advice!

[@RicardGomes76]

So, we are talking about a king in his castle, that is materialistic and active with his pawns to ensure that they move with structure. He likes to watch his kingdom that has alot of space and flowers 🌹

[@jonshive5482]

16:30---Yeah, in the end it comes down to calculation, which requires visualization and tactical savvy as well. And as GM Niclas Huschenbeth sez, "Tactics are the foundation of everything else."
