The killer stare you give at the beginning of your videos now is also how the enemy bishop stares at me from 86 squares away.

[@YouTubetail]

Hello 😊👍🏼

[@classymuffin4589]

86 is oddly specific, and it's even stranger that for me the amount of likes on this comment is 86.

If both stockfish and your mom can't find it, what chance have you under time pressure to see a queen sacrifice.

[@broncoi40]

with the help of a chess engine,

[@stevevaughn8428]

But PIA will find the ones that Stockfish misses.

[@lee.markosian]

Seems like the tip-off is that the black king is stuck behind its 3 pawns, so in that position if the black rook left row 8 for any reason it would be automatic mate in 2.

[@JimBalter]

It's not actually a queen sac since the rook can't take.

[@BooBaddyBig]

​@@JimBalter In a lot of the key lines the rook eventually takes the queen to give check, otherwise the queen takes the rook.

I accidently bumped my Bishop once as i was getting my coffee...and as a touch move I had to leave it...then my opponent resigned as that accidental move was !!!

[@johne.felbinger9405]

Anna, thank you ! Not that your "draw" is comforting: it isn't. Rather, you are so much better at chess than I am, but in the "heat of the moment" you don't always see the *best* move. Happens to all of us. Yet: even your "misses" are instructive. Brava, Brava !! 👍👍 Teach on!!!

[@di380]

That was a fantastic game you played. I remember watching this live and seeing that passed pawn was a huge advantage. The idea was to put pressure and protect the pawn on b6. I did not see the endgame line but you had the advantage early on. You play great chess and it was a game you should be proud of

After many hours of watching your games, having listened to Pia's commentaries, every so often I can hear Pia's voice in my head saying, 'And now, this is absolutely winning. Absolutely fine. A very natural and logical move.' I'm having Pia Cramling flashbacks.

[@skydust1269]

Next time don't forget the power of the queening pawn and the fact that his king has a back rank mate.

[@user-ml5eo4pl9p]

I am your fan from Bulgaria. Your start in the big game is brilliant.

[@michaeledwards2251]

I remember reading a chess book which said to chose the most aggressive move. The reason on 17:02 you didn't see Q d5 is you viewed it as a Queen sacrifice. The back ranch mate threat from your c7 rook meant the black rook on d8 didn't threaten any piece on squares d1 to d7. This meant Q d5 is unthreatened from the black rook d8 but threatens both the d8 rook and checkmate, making it the most aggressive move. Your in good company, Petrosian, who had been World Champion 2 years before, when playing Fischer in the Candidates failed to see Fischer exchanging his knight for a 7th rank bishop, due to the back rank mate threat, would force Petrosian to either lose his Queen side pawns or allow 2 rooks on the 7th rank as happened in the game. (The move by Fischer was a shock to the surrounding Soviet GMs who all failed to see the difficulties caused by the back rank mate threat. The effectiveness of a back rank mate threat in neutralizing pieces tends to be underrated, even by Soviet GMs. )

This reminds me of the Final boss of chess meme where Karpov walks into the TV studio to play the little kid. Except these days it would be the other way around, you hear the boss music and in walks a 12 years old to crush your hopes and ambitions.

[@True_Heretic]

I've not played chess for years. Used to play it all the time. But I'm glad that I stumbled upon your channel as its reawakened my interest. I'd forgotten how hard the game can be. But how sweet it can be if one can overcome its complexity at times. I never really felt that I was playing an opponent. I always felt that I was competing against my own intellectual limitations. I like your channel because you have plenty of energy, are clearly confident and able on a chess basis, and its cool that your parents are also super knowledgeable about the game. Especially your Dad it seems. That Belgian kid gave you a very tough game. Very close. And I agreed with you, your mum and Khoi that a stalemate was the most likely outcome. But I think one of the best things about life is that there is always someone who can see things that most of us don't. And that gives our lives, and our chess lives, greater potential. Which is nice. Well done the Cramling family and well done Khoi!

[@unintentionaleffectiveness4393]

Great job. Nearly impossible to see that move on d5… let’s finish strong

[@Aweng_Zweng]

I found the queen sacrifice but its only findable when knowing that there is a win at the end of the journey as your focus is different and you search for strange stockfish moves. Otherwise no chance at all and having a clock ticking only supports going for a successful draw against this amazing kid! GZ

[@exdejesus]

Nice recap! Definitely a strange outcome if no human could see the win, but the computer can! By the way, these stares you sometimes give the camera are what could be described as "taking no shit from anyone". I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of those looks! Good luck!

[@Galahad54]

Wow! I never played like that as a 1900 (except once, a last round against Ben Finegold, when he was still Benjy). Great defense on the kid's part, he played like a player swindling a draw against Tal. That would would make you - getting to Tal position - very good. The best I ever did was getting to Morphy positions - and Morphy had help from his opponents. If you two were titled, this could go in Informator.

[@aaronchan1088]

if only she found THAT key move, Qd5!! eventually, the king ends up on a8, and black runs out of checks, and white queens the b-pawn next. i set up the position on lichess and stockfish quickly found that stunning move, and pointed out that white has to get the king to a8.

[@xshanghu]

Excellent!

[@mmathems395]

They said it was impossible to find the move 🙂But after 23 hours and 59 minutes and 59 seconds, Anna found the move! YES!! Just in time 😅

[@andraslibal]

I can't go on this emotional roller coaster rooting for you again just to arrive to a draw :P

[@Mark8v29]

I enjoy how chess is like a level playing field perhaps like few others, in that it is no respecter of age, and the old and young and everyone else can counter any expectations based on age. I am fascinated to know how the younger chess players, or any chess players, reach such levels of expertise in a matter of a few years, though I guess even a 12 year old might have been playing chess for over 7 years?

[@Sangejzer]

I have a question: So if the checking piece is pinned to the king then it is not considered a check?

[@NotTheUnsub]

While watching the livestream, I was sweating and saying "Anna, please take his knight with your pawn and take a draw!" for fear something would go wrong and you'd lose. It just looked too scary had you not taken his knight. It's easy for others to say you were winning like his dad with the help of Stockfish, but not for the players in the battle. The kid definitely could play. Still sounds funny, but no joke that kids are the most terrifying thing in chess. I'm curious too, what was for lunch? 🙂

[@renarkhalor2744]

You are great, i downloaded a chess app and started with chess again because of your channel. But iam so bad. iam a good technician and not stupid. Dont know what i make wrong. I already got some tricks from your videos (not cow opening 😊). I would love when you can do a "chess for beginners" video series. When you have time again after the tournanent.

[@user-wl3ts5rd1i]

[@moistmellow1198]

At 14:57, when they take your queen with rook, isn’t Rc8+ just a mate in 2? Why take their rook with the pawn?

[@FatLittleButterfly]

I feel like you would miss moves like this because you tend to be afraid of sacrificing your pieces. But i dont really play chess and just watch 😂

[@astroadhds9407]

I don't know how she missed Qd5 though, it felt like a very obvious move even with the checks for me.

You should of won Rook C8, Queen D8 taking his Rook or Pawn c8 Queen. He would try and counter but you should of won. You a good player but too cautious. Try attacking more . The old saying in sport and any game is the best form of defence is attack. Good luck .
