When Magnus Carlsen Had NO MERCY For Anna Cramling

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I love Anna Cramling, she’s so wholesome and cheerful. When she plays trash talkers she joins in the trash talk without ever being mean. She puts up her losses online just as often as her wins. She’s great at explaining chess too. Anna knew she’d loose against Magnus here but went in hard and did her best, and Magnus realised she had some skills, enough for him to enjoy beating her. He granted her a second game, and both enjoyed Anna trying her best against him again.

[@papadocsamedi2544]

I'd say calling Anna Cramling a new contender is a little overstatement.

[@mmathems395]

That was a very good report of their game. I especially liked the analysis of the moves where you also pointed out their effects. If you haven't already, please do more of these reports. I'll keep an eye out. Thank you for this content : )

An interesting game, but I got really annoyed by the smartass commentator who was saying obvious things and making it sound like he was revealing the greatest secrets of the universe. So I turned the sound down after a minute or two.

4:50 Huh? Magnus doesn't HAVE a knight that he can move to D5. ( I'm missing something here)

[@ulischarl2026]

anna had, she could have captured the free pawn on d5

[@RP-bx7qy]

​@@ulischarl2026I think she was afraid of bishop e4 pinning the knight on her rook if she did it but who knows

[@iankemp1131]

@@RP-bx7qy At that point the rook was on b8 - she could have played Nxd5 but thought she would lose the rook by Bxb8 and moved it to a8, missing that it was an empty threat as she would then have had Rxc1+. Or if Rxc8+ then Rxc8 and the Rook is safe. Hence Magnus' comment "Tactics!"

[@feiery]

I watched this on her channel. Magnus was a bit standoffish until he realized she could play. Then he became friendlier.

[@magnusk9724]

Nonsense. He knows well who she is and also knows her rating.

[@feiery]

@@magnusk9724 Anna actually said that when he clocked her as an experienced player, he got friendlier.

[@terri6854]

@feiery She's likely lying/exaggerating to make it sound more exciting to get better views. She also said Magnus and her "just happened to be" in the same park, when Judit Polgar also "just happened to be" there too.

[@ultraparadoxical7610]

Exactly 👍🏻

[@Ngoctran-wg3zm]

Anna incarne la vraie attitude envers cette situation : ce n'est qu'un jeu. Les autres jouent oui mais avec une toute autre intention que celle d'un jeu. Les autres jouent mais avec une attitude sérieuse en vue d'un but qui n'est pas de la nature d'un "jeu". L'essence d'un jeu est sa précarité : le résultat amène la destruction de la situation initiale et n'a aucun effet sur le monde. Tout s'efface comme dans un rêve dont on sort. Les champions n'ont d'existence que dans un espace et un temps bien limités, en dehors desquelles ils sont réduits à zéro. Cela dit, on doit reconnaître un génie spécifique à ce genre de jeu. Les foot balleurs ont le génie de la frappe, ici les champions ont le génie des coups pour terrasser l'adversaire. Le jeu est nécessaire pour l'homme, mais le jeu érigé en but pour soi, cela n'est plus un jeu. anna regarde la victoire ou la perte comme un jeu, sans conséquence sur la vie .

[@Ngoctran-wg3zm]

PERDRE en rigolant !!!

[@profribasmat217]

Maybe because I’m a real chess player, this narration and the dark screen to show the most are irritating as f. Ffs Anna is spectacularly strong, magnus and hikaru are simply on another level than the entire chess world.

[@aimpointrod]

If you don't want to listen to the narration, you can watch this match on Anna's channel.

[@jed7644]

So how many ever get a chance to play the guy? If he plays a couple of unique individuals per day & never plays the same person twice in the same year, that’s less than 0.00001% of the world’s population - or just stick with a global demographic of chess players. It’s still a rare opportunity. Here’s to hoping she enjoyed it, & I’ll look forward to the day she beats him like Alexandra Botez did.

[@hansmonsen1359]

[@niceone6739]

I like the comment even though it is designed for 800 elo and below.

[@Chunda8]

Very good annotations on this game and Anna played very well. Magnus should've let her have White. When Magnus was saying "Tactics, tactics," Anna had Ne2+, a triple fork. This is about 5:02 ish and she missed it, rewind and check it out.

[@roadrebels08]

😂😂Rook was defending that square brother

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Maybe Bb5 first and Ne2+ next turn? That would guard the knight going for the fork.

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΦρεντζάς]

Yes indeed- she missed blundering her knight.

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

I'm confused. Maybe the graphics are simply representative. @2:0 King is in chk=can not toward His ROOOOOOk!@@ΠαναγιώτηςΦρεντζάς

[@iankemp1131]

What she really missed is that she can indeed play Nxd5. If White plays Bxb8 he has lifted the guard on c1 so Black can play Rxc1+. This left her a pawn behind and was the start of the rot - before that she had a pretty even position.

[@Chunda8]

OK a couple of things: 1. Magnus has held World #1 for a long time, a little over 10 years, but not as long as Kasparov or Emanuel Lasker, so no, not "like no other". Like two others. Kasparov was World #1 for about 20 years, Lasker for 27 years. 2. To get Women Fide Master, the Elo requirement is 2100. Carlsen is usually about 2882 OTB. So no, Anna's not in contention for anything vs. any Super GM, and has no prayer of beating him.

[@pputnam100]

I'm with you on most of this but one thing- Magnus became #1 in the world in July 2011, so next July it'll be 13 years #1 in the world. And c'mon Lasker died in 1920, and played in a chess world outrageously less competitive and strong, so the only real competitor is Kasparov as you point out, but I think it safe to say Garry is the greatest of the pre-engine chess world, and Magnus the greatest of the post-engine chess world

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

My old computer tought 5:22 minutes Capablanca-Reti game move and solved! Same computer tought only 4:37 Kasparov-Kramnik game move and solved!

Capablanca would beat Spassky 8 wins 6 draws zero losses! Carlsen would beat weak Spassky 6 draws zero losses! Caruana scored 8,5/10 scoring World record elo rating 3080!

Knight to C6 blocks the check and defends the bishop. This would give Anna a slight advantage as the knight is now developed and the queen's attack would be useless.
