As an 80 year old man, with grandchildren close to your age, your enthusiasm gives me so much joy that I get to lose the details of the chess and simply watch the vivacity in your face. May it long continue in chess and in other areas of your life.

[@TomVennix]

I started playing classical chess in September. So far, whenever I've underestimated an opponent based on their age or rating, I've always got my ass thoroughly handed to me. I guess that's part of the beauty of chess.

[@himanshu-2510]

SAME BROTHER🙃

[@user-ib2sz2bb7n]

Same here. Often happens to beat easily players higher-ranked then me, rather the ones which are with lower rate.

[@GSBroker]

One of the most humbling experiences I had in life was getting destroyed at chess by a 9 years old girl that seemed distracted the whole game.

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

@TomVennix Hey. Anna's 3rd move pushed a pawn. For clarity's sake; was "en passant" viable? I'm totally unsure of when (whether it's good or bad is another issue).

[@CharlesStearman]

@@R.Akerman-oz1tf A pawn can only be captured en passant immediately after moving two squares from its starting position. So in the position you are referring to, if black replied with c5 then white's d pawn could capture it en passant on c6.

[@elephantheart9988]

8:45 this is called the Sunken Cost Fallacy, and it's a very common error in judgement made by everyone. To help get around it, when you've already spend so much time on something and are realizing toward the end that it isn't going to work, instead of forcing it try to recognize the "pros" of the time you spent. You didn't waste that time, you used it calculating a variation and determining that it wasn't the right path. Wish it had gone faster, but it didn't. Time to calculate the next variation. Chess is brutal.

[@zzanmato123]

:D And! 08:30. This story about WANTING to make a move work, is so true. I really like your way of analyzing, zooming in on momentums and your energetic enthousiasm you show while taking us through your journey. Thumbs up!

[@AN-cy7xm]

You do a good job with these post-game walk throughs. Really enjoyable.

[@Orcahhh]

that game was insane, the commentary was great too! good luck today!!

[@user-yl8sw1mb6q]

Anna is by far the most wholesome chess youtuber out there

[@ViciousDoormat]

I have a question. Anna says she needed to press record right? But then why do we have footage of this happening?

[@usmh]

I would imagine that the camera shoots constantly and saves recent footage temporarily, then puts that footage in permanent storage if you tell it to.

[@dmitryzelenko7975]

Thank you for this game, Anna, it was really exciting!🔥

[@RenzoGomez]

I found your channel recently. The commentary of the last videos are great. Seeing you coming back to tournaments is inspiring. Good Luck and GG!

[@ashameanslife]

:D Nice work and what a wild game! Really appreciate hearing your recap and all of your internal thought processes along the way. Best of luck with the rest of the tournament!

[@PedroGarcia-nv7it]

Eres un ser de luz Anna. Una persona resiliente de que lo peorcico sacas lo mejor. Siempre con esa sonrisa en la boca. Y como psicólogo te digo que se te ve a leguas que eres una persona infinitamente sana, con la que cualquier persona se tiene que sentir afortunado de tratar. Mucha suerte Anna! Sigue así! Tanto en tu ajedrez como brindandonos esa luz que desbordas!

[@davidnelson4960]

Great screen shot. Great post. Compliment to Pia's in-game commentary. Enjoy her analysis followed by the player's perception.

[@EddieA907]

The extra content is wonderful. Pia's movement breakdown is spot on.

[@inheritlyoptimistic]

Nice to follow your progress in competitive play. Great Anna

[@richardbanks9165]

enjoying your tournament videos. keep doing them.

[@jeffreybaffo6080]

:D fantastic game! Thanks for sharing this Anna. Always rooting for you. Keep going. Time management is critical, because you can't analyze deeply on every move, so you definitely have to pick your spots, then you can do the "deep dive" at the crucial moments.

[@TopViralDz]

" Sacrifice a piece first , think later ... " - Anna Cramling

[@debrascott8775]

In this game she thought and thought and then sac'd. 😂

[@RangerKs0adandchess]

Great commentary. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@thirteen26]

Listening to agadmator is like listening to a traditional college professor; concise and informative with a few jokes. Listening to GothamChess is like listening to your drunk bro ramble on about chess. Chaotic and and entertaining. Listening to you, Anna Cramling is just so damn calming. Your voice is so gentle and sweet that you could probably talk about anything and I'd listen just to hear your soft voice lol. The best part about watching your videos is listening to you talk so passionately about the game that we both love, even though I'm sure you're tired as hell as you just spent hours utterly focused and unbelievably stressed. Keep it up! I hope to see you rise to be a GM one day :D

[@omegaamigo]

As soon as the position arose, I was wondering about Nxe4 followed by Qg4 too, it looks *so* appealing: but I'd have needed way more time than you took to make myself happy enough to play it! Very brave to do so, Anna!

[@Chaosmakerrr]

Love this videos. Good luck in the rest of the tournament! Also watching the twitch content, Pia is doing great over there !

[@InfernalLegion84]

:D I love these kind of videos where you analyze the game that you just played, with all the 'human factor' stuff like reactions to moves, clock situation impacting decisions and such

[@CentroCulturalGiordanoBruno]

Great job Anna, your comments Your comments are serious and very educational, good work and success in the tournament.

[@albertramon3477]

Loved the recap Anna! I felt it as one of my games when playing tournaments…all the very best for the rest of the games!

[@williambryan3942]

Watched some of this live. Pia's commentary was amazing!

[@martinangers3647]

Keep up the good work! Thank you for the recap of the game and making these videos even when you are exhausted!

[@daveseddon5227]

:D Always enjoy your commentary! Good luck with the next game! 😊👍

[@JABARDELLI]

WoW! Deep thinking beyond my analysis! Great Job, Anna! Amazing ✌️✌️✌️❤️

[@lennypinskiy6598]

Your opponent played really well given the circumstances. Great game!

[@denniszenanywhere]

I am loving your analysis of your games. I am now consistently watching more of your videos. That was an interesting game. Good luck in the next round.

[@improveourselves3929]

Yes I watched all the way through the end :-) and yeah sometimes we miss the best moves when we're atrophied after a long game like that. Congrats on keeping your composure to at least get a job. It looks like you both had some difficulty concentrating there towards the end. Yes, tomorrow is a new day. Get some rest and best of luck with tomorrow's game! 🙂👍

[@santiagogarcia9255]

Que tengas un gran día mañana Anna!! Gracias por compartir tu experiencia y gracias a GM Pía por comentarnos las partidas en vivo! :D

[@drnomad16]

Very instructive! Thank you for posting!

[@stephenwestland942]

Nice game. I can't play tournament chess because I find it too stressful :) One thing I don't understand though. You say your camera was not one, but we can see the footage of you making the first move and then speaking to the arbiter. Was that a different camera?

[@mrsilly6155]

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't get how the camera recorded her looking for an arbiter to ask if she could turn the camera on 😂

[@stevec6002]

:D Also, great game, I like how you go for stuff and take chances - didn't work out this time, but hey, you saw that King move a split second later and you also still drew, so not too bad! Good luck tomorrow, I look forward to your next recap!

[@jtidema]

Thanks Anna! I've only been playing chess online for about six months, and this was the first time I felt like I was starting to understand the commentary - you are my favorite chess KZbinr!!!

[@paultharp4626]

Very good content.. analysis was great and insight into the calculations involved with such high level chess, insightful 👍

[@xaviertarrus7377]

Felicidades por todo, pero especialmente por ser capaz de comentar tan bien, después de una partida tan dura.

[@AJBTemplar]

I love the honestly of your analysis.

[@bernardhargreaves9009]

we want more!!! =)) thank you for all your games, and moms commentary.

[@catarinamalta]

we really do believe in you winning this tournament! good luck tmrw :D

[@ReynaldRamirez]

I love how you explain :) Haha... And about the movement of the king, you are completelly right. The thing is that we are always afraid of moving the king. But, the king also has his purpose.

[@CodeGr88n]

your chuckle at 8:55 was so genuine lol. you couldnt even believe it lol great video. great job at the tourney! also both of you should consider updating the pictures on your profile above each others name and rank. lol

[@albiss1164]

Thanks a lot for the recap and keep up lady !!! :)

[@dirkkorpershoek92]

I just got remembered that your passion for chess is at its absolute peak , great to see Anna💪 Good luck!! 🍀🍀🍀

[@mikecf1]

That rook to F5 was beautiful. And I love that when you are playing lower rated opponents that you get a little more aggressive and push yourself out of your comfort zone. It's a sign of growing confidence. Love your channel.

[@jonshive5482]

Not surprised young Cramling is worn out after this tense, complex struggle. There was a National Open in Charleston SC some years ago in which yours truly was a C player going against an A (roughly 1500 vs 1900 ELO). Being the seventh and last game in a four-day Independence Day weekend both of us were fairly exhausted after six games in three days. My opponent had White. Essaying a Pirc and suicidally castling Kngside into a full-bore 150 Attack Black's King wound up dodging checks after White's pawn storm opened up his position like a can opener. Desperately seeking refuge on the Queenside he narrowly frustrated White's furious efforts to corral him, and during a couple momentary lulls Black managed to infiltrate a Queen and Knight into White's Q-side King position. White was so intent on his own King hunt he failed to see it and wound up resigning at the first check of a smothered mate combo. Whew! Felt like a limp yet immensely relieved dishrag afterwards. Congrats and good luck to aspiring Master Cramling. Her return to Classical chess should help fill a niche that's become lamentably neglected of late. Also regards to her Mom and Dad. Cheers and Happy New Year!

[@janole654]

Exciting game!!!! I was also completely drawn to the knight sacrifice and thought this must be working, such a clutch move, but the follow ups and winning variation after suboptimal moves of your opponent are very hard to spot and it takes a lot of bravery going into these variations sharp like a knifes edge. King f4 is almost impossible to play, it looks so unnatural and scary.

[@recumbentrocks2929]

Well done Anna. Your opponent was very good and your honest analysis of your good and bad moves is fascinating stuff. Best wishes for your next game.

[@m0stlyvoid427]

I like your tournament recaps a lot :D

[@mweissensteinerova]

:D Good luck, Anna! I love your positive attitude😊

[@tayken3264]

Good luck Anna! Saludos desde Argentina.

[@howarddittrich157]

Wonderful content, I really enjoy watching your channel. That said, it is very painful for me when you habitually spend so much time thinking and rethinking your moves! Much luck to you for tomorrow.

[@georgemacdonald8899]

:D h4 made the game pretty interesting, I think I would gave gone after the pawn quickly and castled, following your own advice... Love your mom's response to the knight sacrifice!

[@robert_kaesebier]

The camera recorded the moment when Anna realized she hadn't pressed the record button on the camera . It's magic!

[@LITANDLEGIT2024]

i watch all the way through your videos.... love them.....good luck in round 3...

[@alekseimula1615]

Anna, we are only waiting for one thing: for you to play the cow opening in a tournament game!🎉❤😂

[@sandrasoloREC]

Hi Anna! I don't have a clue about Chess but your knowledge and passion about it got me! I really enjoy your game. Best wishes for you at the tourment!

[@AndrewBrophy-Romans8.1]

Interesting game, Anna! :D Best of luck in round 3!

[@iDYPilms]

❤ watching your chess channel. Inspiring and relatable. I’m learning chess (1400-1600 rating) and your content is inspiring to me as a chess player.

[@mokpot]

Yes, I watched all the way up to here. Thanks for the lesson!

[@tarikulkhandker680]

Great effort, as always Anna! 😃 I think the biggest error was the approach you had at the start to the opponent...as you said, you had about 2 or 3 chances to win, which you never miss (or at least if you miss one, you rarely don't miss the other). Attack every game as if they're the same rank as you, and you'll be your normal sharp best!

[@oldforestroad]

:D Fascinating and good luck going forward!

[@nerd26373]

You're unbelievably courageous for making it this far. Best of luck to you and more suspenseful tournaments to come your way.

[@newjawn9004]

Another very interesting and helpful analysis. I don't understand the rules pertaining to time, so I'll need to do some research. .

[@barrywebber100]

Good game Anna, but please no piece sacs unless you're sure it's decisive! Thanks for posting, best wishes for the next round!

[@EricKelsey-ez6uk]

Keep the high energy ❤🎉 let's go

[@joelh3303]

I enjoyed watching and learned a bit. D

[@ericst-laurent1194]

Very great effort Anna you deserve at least a draw!Stay strong good luck for the next game!

[@hmm6411]

Definitely learned a few things. Thanks for the video.

[@DawidSmit]

Thank you love your enthusiasm for chess and Life. 😊

[@gheffz]

King F4 wasn't the only opportunity... the worm gave you the advantage for a lot of the game. But as you say tomorrow is a new day and a new game and a new start. At least you got a draw, and now you can reload. I did watch "all the way up to here". 🙃 _Thanks for sharing/showing "mum's" reactions in your tournament games, too... that's priceless!_

[@biscottone3373]

Watching your tournaments is my favorite chess content on the platform:)

[@TheMesamesa]

I love your videos anna you're a beautiful person inside and out !

[@wiserhinoceros]

Your Nxe4 was the first move I looked at, too. I think it's a worry that you can't remember the last time you sacrificed a piece in classical chess, Anna! You have to be brave, sometimes 😅

[@HoloDaWisewolf]

Wonderful video, good luck for tomorrow!

[@skttnm]

"I'm here all the time because I live here." These Anna-isms are priceless!

[@inciaradible7144]

Fascinating game, very fun and educational.

[@31FordAA]

"D" - Long match, my brain would be goo after that. Nice job!

[@ProjectMusicPromo]

I can't stop laughing at your mum's reaction!😂 That was a wild game that swung back and forth. Play the position and don't worry about opponent's rating :D

[@jonshive5482]

Amen to that!

[@pavelkotsev1542]

Good luck, Anna! You can do it!

[@Max-jf5vu]

Exciting game even if it was a bit gruelling! Good luck with the rest of your games!

[@oscar-wi3tj]

Good luck on your games

[@rikvermeer1325]

Go Anna, good luck!!!

[@spacejunkisforever6311]

I watched the whole thing. What a crazy game!

[@karlstump5163]

:D great review of your game -- thanks.

[@thomasma8924]

Thank you for this game, Anna!

[@charlessweeney2061]

D. I enjoy your tournament videos, and your Mum's commentary is fantastic! I play the same way as you, use lots of time looking for fancy tactics! Most of the games I lose are on time. I could be wrong, but I think you would do better if you didn't use so much time, particularly very early in the game when you haven't fully developed your pieces.

[@Hotshotben]

Great content!

[@th3monk3ygod564]

the best thing to take from this, is your learning still to this day you'll remember this now

[@andrewchelsea1930]

Let’s go Anna for round 3! D

[@michaelturoczi7813]

Well done great content

[@thisguy533]

gg :D good luck rest of tourney

[@anusarawellness]

great game - good luck

[@gerryderop2479]

You and I have about the same rating, but I have 30 y of experience extra. Against lower rated players you should never complicate matters. Instead play solid chess and you'll always win the endgame, because that's where they lack skills.

[@angeldavidruizpatino6364]

Mucha suerte!! :D

[@mikey3387]

Great video. I like that, win or lose, you're real with it.

[@Building_SuperDan]

:D Love watching your analysis.
