The shortest classical tournament game and the longest classical tournament game you've played, all in one tournament.... what are the odds? Great recovery!
The odds on your very first tournament ever would be 100% though

Uwe played really well. The idea of how to win at the end is super creative.
Pia's commentary on this game was incredible. It'd be awesome if you edited a highlight reel of her during the tournament. She was so professional but you could also tell she was rooting for you and anxious for you. It was so sweet!
The shortest game followed by the longest game is REAL!!!
I feel like we're experiencing it all with her, learning lessons and having fun.
"I forgot the king can take"! You have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that. I have done that so many times and it drives me nuts. It is so great that even a great chess player like you does that. Kudos to you for being so open.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I once spent 2 hours trying to make a move that would defend my position. Then I realised that I had just blundered my queen in one move. That was a not a good day.
I once had a brilliant forced mate in three, but I was so focused on QxP mate that I played that first. Oops.
I feel your pain lol Was so amped up watching all the chess videos today that when my cousin started up a game with me (the one where you have 7 days to move) I went hard!! Was doing good and was about 2 or 3 moves away from a possible checkmate when I blundered my Queen to his light squared Bishop that was STILL ON IT'S STARTING SQUARE! 🤦😆
@@hulkslayer626Ah, the "T-rex in Jurassic Park" effect: if it doesn't move, you can't see it
@@metallsnubben lmao 🤣 YES!!
That was a really interesting game. Intense. Congrats to both. And cheers to Anna for defending his rival attitude.
I am so happy when Pia says "Anna probably won't find this move", and then - you play that exact best move in the position :D
10:20 I remember Pia's reaction after he did not play that scary move and she was so relieved. That end game took so long from there until just two kings standing though 😮
learning to play chess because of this channel 🥺 thanks anna and pia!
Good luck with the learning journey!
Same here, I have fallen in love with Anna's enthusiasm last year and from that time I reached 1000 elo in rapid and 800 in blitz, started arround 400, so persist with your learning :)
Hey, I loved the intro to this video!! Nicely done by your producer! Great recap, great game, and the ending was very instructive. I have never played longer than about 70-ish moves I think.
Pia's commentary throughout this match was incredible
I saw another game live on twitch yesterday. Pia's commentary was great. Real passionate but also really impressive. Like the opponent makes a move and GM mom is instantly like (without running it through stockfish!): "Yeah, the best move here would be this but maybe Anna does this or that" and half an hour later, Anna does one of those moves. 😀
A draw to the bitter end with high accuracy is very impressive! Great find with the bishop sacrifice while you were low on time. Go Anna!
My longest over-the-board chess game (so far, because I am still occasionally playing) was probably about two and a half hours. And I was wrecked after that. I can't imagine going for six hours. No way. That's crazy.
And then playing another game 90mins later…
Yeah that 2nd game on that day was rough @@AlanTov
@@DDHDTV very easy for me as i study 15+hours
My longest was 20 hours long against Ivan Nikolic ! The foolish played a drawn endgame for most of the game... just testing me!
Hard games are like exames in high school.
Love the pan over the empty tournament hall and the arbiter saying "you don't need to whisper". My longest game was 5 or 6 hours in the old 40 moves in 2.5 hours plus additional amounts for more moves.
Bravo! Well done recap and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos and especially when you are tired. Keep up the good work!
Props for the epic editing
That was a great game save for a draw by you. Could tell by his expressions that he was going for the win and wasn't happy with the result. But I'm sure that your play earned his respect. Love the video intro, by the way!
I learn so much with these recaps, Anna is great, she explains the mistakes and alternatives, awesome.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing so much detail about these matches when you must be SO TIRED! Your videos have helped me fall in love with chess. Please keep them coming.
My longest game was almost 5 hours and around 80 moves, I think I won but it was quite a while ago so I'm not sure anymore... I admire your capability to find this perfect defensive plan after this kind of mental exhaustion, very well played and good luck in the rest of the tournament!!
I only recently played my first classical game (75+15) and it lasted 3 hours. Got into a bad position and defended for 60 moves and then blundered in time pressure. Opponent then somehow blundered his queen in one move and I won. Crazy game!
Omg!! I remember more than one comments in the previous (edited) video of the previous round and they were saying that your next game should the longest you would ever play, after the shortest game ever 🤣🤣. AND HERE IT IS!
Watching Pia's commentary on your games is like taking a chess course.
I thought playing for 6 hours was mad until you said you had to play another game in an hour 😮😮😮😮 Crazy! Big respect 👊🏿🔥
I see an Anna Cramling review and I’m happy.
Impressive, for me, for the knowledge of k+p in the corner against out of position king+q is a draw and then calculated the ways to get there in pretty short time.
Whoever that guy was. He was no joke
He was Uwe, he rocked, he will not be forgotten.
Hes at my chessclub ive trained with him 😂
I respect your opponent, he is a real warrior. You are doing great, this game was difficult. Thank you for your videos!
Great recovery Anna, I totally understand that you can blunder a rook in the end of a game THAT long. I think my longest classical game was about 2 1/2 hours in a clubgame against Arlõv but THAT draw actually was winning for the club.
I see an Anna Cramling review and I’m happy
Hi Anna! Watched many of your videos but first time commenting. I just realized you have become my favorite chess player. Love the explanation and thought process of the moves you man. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations on defending the draw, Anna!! 🇸🇪 👏👍
Honestly, if I haven't seen the part of the stream I would think Uwe Arndt is a young player who is actually stronger than his ELO shows. He played really well and then even pulled "Carlsen endgame torture" on Anna. Great game by him. But Anna found a precise defence in the end. A very instructive game for me. Even though my peak ELO was similar to Uwe's (when I was still playing competitive chess) I believe he would beat in most of our games.
Great endgame technique, Anna!
Anna looks so serious playing classical... Almost unrecognizable, but it's interesting to have a peak at this side of her.
That intro was excellent! Love these recaps so much! Great game & good luck at the next one!
RECOVERY, is what separates the greats from GOAT's. Brain as muscles, can be stressed to limits and improved, but as with muscles, you will not improve it much if you wont master the RECOVERY game(this can be your one advanced advantage against all other similar players). Imagine if you would religiously sleep 8 hours every day, and on top of that tune your diet and every other aspect of your life to favour THE BRAIN RECOVERY, like body builders do with muscles. No matter how good you are, if your brain is never close to 100%- you can bank only on small sprints,good days, or luck. Athletes goes through oxygen chambers, ice baths, diets, sleep- while you stress your brains with tournaments, and rarely propperly regulate even sleep. Learning and practicing is great, but... All you do is rev and tire your engine into the red on the first gear instead of stepping back, getting your body/routine/regular recovery/forced active recovery like athletes/ under control and switching into the second gear and opening your eyes into high rez, sharp world, where you improving x2 routinely, and where you efortlessly quicker. Instead of putting massive effort to struggle in overdrive- put at least half of that effort into science of LOADING THE BRAIN(learning/working) and RECOVERY speed and frequency maximum increase. Then when others have one day, you manage to take in two days worth and stay on top.
Anna is impressive! Pulling a great move and brilliant move when needed! 🐮👑🏆
Wow!! I'm exhausted just from watching your video about the game! Great job, Anna! 95% accuracy! And of course you had to play your longest game ever since the previous game was your shortest ever! This is how you balance everything out! Can't wait to see Round 6!
Way to go, Anna! I really appreciate your hard work. Thank you for posting your videos on YT. 👍
Congratulations on saving your game. Good luck on the next ones!
I appreciate the explanation on the draw culture bc I definitely did not know that!
What great tenacity to stick with your way of play and just hang in there! Good job, and good luck to you!! Well DONE!!! That's what a true champ you are! And you get to own that!:) Whoooop!
This was a wonderful endgame you played and the draw did almost seem like a win. I just finished playing a chess game that last 101 moves. Wasn't OTB but online rapid. By move 65, both our pawns had just promoted. I had a king, queen and pawn. Opponent had king and queen. He asked for a draw by about move 80 but I declined as I was up a pawn and I need the end game experience (like your mom says, the best way to improve in endgames is to play them). After mostly dodging checks by the opponent's queen the rest of the game, I finally was able to force a queen trade and he resigned as I had a future queen with my remaining pawn.
Congratulations on your win/draw in round 5. 💞 Because of your KZhead videos I've been learning how to move each piece, what check and checkmate is, and how to write out my moves in chess notation. My next lesson is playing "a game"/lesson will be how to play the shortest possible game with the fewest number of moves. On to the next lesson/round.
Love the epic intro! You should include more of your mom’s reactions from the stream. They’re so great!
I appreciate your comment about not offering a draw when you’re a pawn behind. It’s an etiquette thing that I learned many years ago and I wish more people understood it. It’s rude.
to be fair, I think in 14:17 going Kf4 is the simplest move and denies the possibility of any race because white's king will have to remain on h3 to guard the g4 pawn if he wants to play Bf1 to mvoe it to h3. If he goes back to h3 you can repeat with Kg5
My longest chess game was 4.5 hours and I managed to win after defending my opponent’s attack
That was a brutal defence, well deserved!
Impressive lessons from the game Anna! Crazy clock! Good luck!
That were 12 rounds heawyweight boxing. This endgame would be an example study in legendary book writer Kurt Richter "right or wrong" Two long distance pawns in such an endgame with bishops with unequal coloured fields is high tech. I won an endgame with 2 vs 0 pawn. Hard for a player like Uwe under 2000 to win such a game. You need the power, that water comes out of stones.
That long more 15 rounds of heavyweight boxing back when that was the maximum number of rounds. In the no gloves days boxing had no round limits. Interesting both Boxing and American Football got more dangerous when padding added. Before Gloves hitting the head was a rare blow as the Skull is stronger than the bones in the hands.
These are some of my favorite games, congrats on the victory!
The first 30 seconds of the video are very cinematographic, loved it.
And the oscar goes to ... ludwigdelarge (editor).
Recap commentary is excellent, well done
Epic intro! Loved it.
Drama Queen!
I love your mom's commentary, she shouldn't have to be by herself. you should let her pick her own non-chess friend to talk with during the commentary. i think it would be fun especially for longer games.
Beautiful endgame! Very instructive!
Wow, very cool calculation with that bishop move in the end. Such a cool line.
You did well to draw. Feel good about that. I played a 119 move draw by 50 move rule, and another one at 116 moves on that chess website.
"Boy was I wrong... Wait, I've never used that sentence. "Boy was I wrong."" I dunno why, that just tickled me 🤣🤣
Good content as always, but also really appreciated the short explanation of chess ettiquette
"My brain was so fried" 🤯 Really've felt that 🫠
Gut zu wissen das ich nicht die einzige person bin die im spiel schon mal vergessen hat das der König auch Figuren raus nehmen kann ❤
I had a game go to 110 moves when I was the arbiter. iirc it was 40 moves / 90 minutes, but thankfully they didn't use all their time. Those Grunfeld-like pawn structures are a pain. Qb6 was nice
Brilliant play, Anna!
Thank you for providing us insight into the etiquette of a 6-hour chess game Anna!
That defensive idea of simultaneous bishop sacs is really neat. Definitely deserves the !!
wow, what an endgame, seriously Anna, that was a masterclass! :o
Congratulations for winning a draw out of this, especially your brilliant move that saved it.
Got the Marathon achievement for game over 100 moves few weeks ago. If i remember correctly it was just two horses chasing each other around passed pawn and me not being able to win. It ended as a draw.
Starkt och uthålligt försvar! Det får du ta med dig.
Tough endgame! Nice job with this.
You're telling me that chat was impatient and wrong about something!?!? Inconceivable!!! (That was a really impressive result Anna, all of us here in chat would have failed that end game)
I stumbled across your videos and I enjoy your enthusiasm for chess. 3 questions for you, if I may. Curious to know if you recognize mistakes soon after making them or when you review the match afterwards? Do you mostly focus on playing standard format? And a personal goal question. Do you hope to surpass your mother someday and become a top ranked player in Sweden? Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and I hope that you have success with your Reykjavik tournament.
Yay amazing video keep up the good work
This was the second comment
You HAVE NOT seen the full video
Yeah I was talking about all her videos
I like it when you surprise yourself by using common english phrases 😂
You inspired me to re-start playing chess (I play blitz online). I would've never thought it would be so much fun.
Outstanding video opening ending with a killer look!
I enjoyed watching the last hour or more of the game as it happened, after starting from the beginning at 2x speed until I caught up. I was quite surprised it went long enough for me to catch up. I saw no etiquette problem with what either player did. I like playing my games to the end, unless it is obvious that both players want to stop it with an agreed draw, or someone wants to resign. In live classical games, if I am going to resign, I will sometimes ask if they'd prefer to play it out. I always like playing a game out, because I love seeing checkmate combinations being found, and love seeing them being missed also. I don't mind if it is me who will be checkmated, though of course I prefer the reverse. Having the full record of a game from move 1 until the game is over via play, I simply find preferable to seeing a partial game and a decision to stop playing. Of course, once the result is obvious, I play quickly. And if it reaches an uninteresting end like king and rook against king, I resign without enjoying or needing to see the boring and common checkmate to follow. Anyone who gets into that position against me, is sure to win it, and sure to also find it uninteresting. But an overwhelming attack, or king chase, or converting a middle game advantage to an endgame win, I love seeing through to the end, regardless of which side of it I'm on.
Hello Anna ! I think the turning point on the game is at 3:46 on your video. Let s ennemy pawn on d5 (and let the pawn threaten the bishop e3) and play Black knight on g4 !!! The danger chess mat on 3 round give you many opportunities (and sacrifices) and white go to loose the control of the game. 🧐 I let you study the opportunities and understand why 😏! Good luck for the next round !
thanks Anna, your games are a great learning experience.
Thank youuuu! Good luck!
Estupenda partida. Una muestra de tu gran talento 🎉
i had a similar endgame at Tata Steel
So much fun stuff to watch this tournament :)
i had game about 120 moves, and over 6 hours, in the past there was the old time control : 2h for 40 move after this add 1 h for the next 20 moves and after this 30 min for the rest of the game. And in the first years i played in chess club, there was also even longer games: 2h 40 moves +1h 20 moves +30 min 10 moves , then wirte donw the possition and continue the game on other day with 1h for next 20 moves.
Now it's her longest. You the 🐐! What a stressful game! 👍👍👍 and SUB! Love your mom's commentary, like you chat. She SACRIFICED THE BISHOP!
Way to go, Anna! Glad you snatched a draw from the jaws of defeat.
I have definitely offered a draw in a fighting position and been rejected in frustration lol
just glad all went well
You go GRRL! You are doing great. You don’t need to explain your decisions to anyone! You are on your path. All is well! ❤️🤎💙🧡🤍💜💚🩷
18:26 I think the most disrespectful thing you can do in chess is to sacrifice your queen for nothing in the opening and then win anyway...
I saw Rd4 I’m surprised you didn’t realize the King would be able to recapture on f7 but Wow a Brilliant !! for the Bishop sacrifice that was Great that you were able to calculate you could make a draw of the game even after he promotes his pawn to a Queen Fantastic you had a really great focus even after playing for so long
And these kinds of dry positions are why I never cared for the Grunfeld. You can get activity but it often comes at the cost of trades that evaporate real complex play. If your strength is in any kind of middle game strategic or tactical melees - either one - then take this game to heart!
Great intro! Anna-Maja streamed her studying the last couple of weeks. Perhaps you could also stream studying your openings, or better even, do a study-collab together with her.
WOW! One of the most interesting and educational matches. Chess Princess
