The moment he realized he blundered the resign felt heartbreaking. Great to hear that he was a good sport in the end.

[@autohmae]

And with a large number of people looking at the game from abroad through this video as well.

[@DDHDTV]

You should see the game Dina played, where the boy was up all game , had a +65 position and made a one move blunder. Poor guy

[@Romial34]

@@DDHDTV I mean it can happen. Happened in Andrea's game in Prague where Hammer freaked out in commentary and the kid she was playing knew immediately he f'd up.

[@ecospider5]

This even happens to Magnus Carlson, it’s just that he miss calculated 15 moves out and thought he was loosing, but really 12 moves out there was a winning move.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Miscalculated losing grammar police 👮

[@thelovelyratkitten]

Asmund is an uncommonly gracious player and even wishes an opponent good luck. The fact he's a fan of Anna's content is more proof that Anna's fans are the best online chess community!

[@Km0577]

Hahah I love Mrs. Cramling. “Did he reSINE! Did he reSINE! could he reSINE? did he reSINE! I think he reSINE! *gasp* HE RESINE!” Hahahahaha she’s just adorable

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Ha ha 😂

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I love how passionate she is about chess, and her daughter’s tournaments.

[@TheGrindelwald]

Resign

[@henkhenkste6076]

he*

[@UncleWally3]

That resigning before it’s necessary is obvious only after it occurs applies to many things in life.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Funny i was looking at one of my done games where I had resigned and it was still a playable game I must’ve been short on patience that day

[@CaptainFeathersword]

This will be a lifelong lesson for him even outside of chess.

[@lucas29476]

But to be fair if he couldn't find the move, he will lose the game anyway.

[@majormoron605]

This is why Levy always says: "Never resign!"

[@briceparent593]

Problem is he didn't see that move. He would have played something else and lost anyway.

[@LucenProject]

@@briceparent593 If you're still playing isn't there a chance for your opponent to blunder? I thought I'd seen that from a winning position on this channel. (sorry, if I'm not using the right terminology. Just started watching these videos recently.)

[@oliwierbiernacki8303]

@@LucenProject that's a good rule to follow when you're rated 1000, but if you're a piece down in an endgame against a 2150 you're doomed unfortunately

[@DDHDTV]

​@@oliwierbiernacki8303Dina had a game today morning, where her 1800 rated opponent was up all game. In the end game he was +65 position and he one move blundered into a draw. Poor boy cried on the board

[@aladarmezga4942]

​@@oliwierbiernacki8303I watched a couple games of the Botez sisters and they swung games both ways. Andrea today squezed out a draw from a significant disadvantage by just playing on. Last tournament Alex lost a game from an almost forced mate after a few slightly inaccurate moves in a row, and Andrea won her game that day from a dead lost position. If you think you lost how much more lost can you be? But if you play on, something might happen.

[@kingjulian22]

went from shortest game to longest in a few days. Almost ran out of time today

[@BrianRobertRose]

I felt bad he resigned needlessly, but I was so happy for you Anna, and so enjoy Pia's wonderful reaction. We're all rooting for you in this tournament!

[@tophbfong]

the irony of this video being posted after todays game 🤣

[@GaryTheGray]

It is so wholesome to see a family sharing such a passion for the game. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@JulianPursell]

Dude watched your channel, felt for how tired you've been, realises you'll beat him but might take 4 hours, so he takes a fall early to let you get some rest. A true gentledude. Respect.

What total nonsense😂🤣😅

[@Max-jf5vu]

It's nice how understanding you were about him resigning. I've definitely done it before but still, poor guy!

[@maijanen3]

Big props to your mom! I mean... she is making the chess world class sport with her commentary. I'm a huge fan now!

[@usageunit]

I know the feeling. I once took a draw by repetition in a position where I had a mate in 2, starting with the only available check. It was a daily game too, I had all the time in the world to find it. My jaw dropped when I saw the Game Review after that one.

[@LesterMoormanLFM]

I followed your games a bit on the side yesterday, lovely commentary by your mom. Good luck with the rest of your tournament!

[@Lauti161]

You look so energized and locked in, I'm really happy to see you competing in tournaments again. Keep it up Anna, you got this! ❤

[@EfficientRVer]

I've had opponents resign in similar situations, even ones where they had an advantage but didn't know it. Often, we both thought I had a win, but the engine found a way out of it for them. Other times, I know I have a lost position, but find a way to complicate the position, then they either make a mistake or crush me. Just last month I was losing and offered a piece sacrifice which must be taken, but it looked very dangerous to take. They declined it and I got quite an attack going, though the engine still had me behind a little bit.

[@jgilbert7591]

Your videos just started showing up on my feed 2 days ago. I've enjoyed them ever since. You are a pretty good player. Of course, coming from two masters.

[@privatename3621]

Is it just me, or does anyone else LOVE the way Anna speaks? Even just in the opening seconds of this video, she's got all my favorites packed in. From the unique way she pronounces "Today" (almost like "Chooday"), or the lovely clicking sound she makes when she says "Classical", or my favorite... the way way she pronounces "Moves" (almost like "meeoowves"). It's all fabulous. Oh, and all the chess talk too. Haha. It's all keeps me happily watching all her videos.

[@FlyDream-tp2ke]

Lol past Anna did not know what todays game had for her 😅

Congratulations, Anna! 👍 Once again you show not only the intricies of the game, but its psychological elements as well. Thank you!

[@thomasesau2376]

that you explain what you are thinking; and, what you think your opponent is thinking, makes watching you so much fun. And we learn so much. Also your Mom's reaction is so cute.

[@victorramirez4718]

Going forward in tournament: 1. Get plenty of sleep. 2. Take a multivitamin pill. 3. Visualize winning and not drawing. 4. Be aware of time management.

[@bruceatwood1498]

Nice job 😊 May good fortune smile upon you as you take on this next challenge.

[@CapAnson12345]

I bet if your rating was close to his rating he would have looked harder. Sometimes you get intimidated by the high rating "Oh a tricky, tactical move.. it MUST be good since they played it.. I'm probably lost"

[@ChesapeakeBayBrian399]

was he only rated a 1000-1200?

[@matthewwilson4972]

@@ChesapeakeBayBrian399​​⁠​⁠​⁠nah he’s 1821 while she’s 2115 - about a 300 Elo difference this is a significant difference under the elo system and it means that his probability of winning is ≈ 16%

@@matthewwilson4972 Ah different rating then here in the states.

[@matthewwilson4972]

@@ChesapeakeBayBrian399 no it’s still the Elo system which has been the global standard for over the board chess for quite some time. The US switched to the Elo system in the 60s. Online chess uses a slightly different system but it’s based on the Elo system so what I said would still apply.

Last tournament I played I was completely losing, the in the endgame my opponent made a slight mistake that let me snap up a pawn. Immediately they offered a draw, I was so surprised but happy ofc 😂

[@BeforeThisNovember]

I accidentally Botez gambit yesterday, went to press resign but miss-clicked and my opponent didn’t see the hanging Queen. I went on to win. The joys of sub 1200 elo 😅

Cool for both sides now there is about two hand fulls of variations of black went into the knight bird tower and white went into jbird tower which goes 2000 to 2900 super grandmaster at least ❤😊

Resigned! Come on. Never resign.

[@thenephilim9819]

I'd love to play against Anna just to see for how many moves I can survive before I'm being crushed 😄

[@stephaneichenlaub]

Reminds me of the game where I found a genius combination - and in my excitement made the second move before the first. Devastating loss. O_O

[@scottharvey6892]

That guy is pure class. I wish him the best!

[@Mousepotato8]

The shortest tournament game I ever played was 11 moves. My opponent was rated 1909, and I was rated 2189, playing black. Here's the game: 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.e3 b6 4.Bd3 Bb7 5.Nbd2 c5 6.b3 cxd4 7.exd4 Nc6 8.a3 Nd5 9.0-0 Nf4 10.Bc4 Nxd4! 11.Nxd4?? Qg5! and White resigned because mate is unstoppable. I played this in 2016, and it's still one of my favorite games that I have played. 11.Nxd4 is such a natural move; it's crazy that it just immediately loses the game.

[@shanastroskyphazer8172]

Yeah I felt weird the first time an opponent said good luck before an OTB game. Therefore I constructed a new motive behind it, oh it must mean good luck not to needlessly blunder during the game. Its a logical reason right ?! Good Luck ( not to blunder ). Your amazing ANNA ! I haven't played in an OTB tournament for about 2 years. Thanks for inspiring me to play OTB again !

[@quarionilphukiir3583]

Once I gad an opponent who had a mate in 2, but they thought it would be a draw by repetition, so they offered a draw. I've never accepted a draw offer so fast in my life.

[@desotosky1372]

Forgive if a dumb question but what is the moving white bar to the left signifying?

[@visualdragon]

It's the chess engine showing how well either side is doing. What you are viewing is a recreation of the match in a chess program. When it's in the middle, the positions are equal. When more white is showing, white has the advantage. More black, black has the advantage.

[@desotosky1372]

thank you@@visualdragon

Remember you're an athlete, this sort of chess is an endurance sport. You're a bit unused to it not having played a major tournament in a while, so default to sleeping eating and relaxing.

Is there a glitch that causes her board to get faded the first time she does a sideline? It doesn't go back to regular color when she returns to main line.

[@Jj82op]

No that is how it looks in the board, because the moves are outside of the moves played in the game. After you finish a game try going back in the move list and do a different move.
