Thank you so much for this game Anna! This was one of the most fun games of chess I've ever played in a classical tournament. If you were better rested things would have gone differently I think, but I appreciate you for being very nice after the game and analyzing a little. You've been doing very well lately in your events and I'm hoping the trend continues for you.
Thank you so much for the game! Hope we play again sometime 😄
speak for yourself
Aren't you the bitter individual @@TimeStampCopv4
At 41 years old, your videos have inspired me to play more chess and I'm loving it. You bring a positivity to chess that is so amazing and whether win, lose, or draw, the games can have beautiful elements just like this one. Thank you for sharing.
Me too and I’m 77 lol
Right on man
This!! I am not afraid to lose anymore 😍
Your approach to losing is extremely healthy, mature and insightful. It might not seem like it's a big deal, but what you said is actually pretty deep and can and should be applied to other areas in life as well. And even though I don't play chess myself, I keep watching your videos and you make it look like so much fun! I wish you all the best luck in your future matches and I personally think that you have very bright future ahead of you because you are open to personal development and don't hang on the loses. Much respect Anna : )
wonderful comment!
As my mum used to say, The man who never made a mistake never made anything. The important thing is how you face up to your mistakes, survive them and learn from them.
Your mom has the enthusiasm of a soccer announcer when announcing the game! I was laughing picturing her being in the room announcing while people were trying to focus!
Someone commented it’s like listening to a horse race while watching grass grow 😂
Yeah, her casting is so captivating, she could make me watch paint dry.
@@Judep4237 🤣🤣🤣
I've known Aaron for a long time and we were teammates for the US AM East - he is really about 2100 strength.
He played brilliantly. I know him from his streams.
Nope, he is 1900 rated. His rating will be adjusted to who he plays.
@@stevep9221wrong
@@stevep9221 he said 2100 STRENGTH dummy, meaning he knows him personally and knows his classical rating is underrated at the moment
@@MultiGoban Oi dummy. You do not declare your own rating. Do you have a brain cell. No point in deliberately losing in chess. There is no handicap system like golf dumdum.
You’re really quite magnanimous to be sharing your detailed mind flow to give your viewers the “WHY” of your move decisions. You make it extremely interesting and fun, even when you resigned. All the best to you in the next round.
spoiler alert!
I am thoroughly enjoying this tournament strictly because of you. The last time I paid attention to Reykjavik chess was 1972 Fischer-Spasky. You're doing just swell in my book. Points awarded for style, grace, and attitude. :-)
"We never lose; we either win or learn." -Someone. Lot of hugs, love and good luck on your next rounds!
You are playing so well. You've had extremely impressive players as opponents, and you are teaching so many people with these recaps. I hope you sleep for a week after you return home, and that you feel good about your performances, because you truly are a great player. I can't wait to see you at another tournament; it is such a breath of fresh air to see a chess creator actually play in the "wild," so to speak.
And she's still smiling! You definitely have learned the most important thing in any competitive sport! ❤
I just watched the previous video with the epic long game. And when you talked about blundering the pawn and chalked it up to just a mistake, I was truly struck by the class you show and the terrific example you are to folks no matter where they are on their own journeys. Accepting a mistake (ours or others’) is something we need more of. And thank you for talking about the commenters being needlessly cruel. It must be so much harder to face a mistake with such style knowing the hate that’s inevitably coming. I can’t imagine the sort of scrutiny somebody in your career must be under (especially when the uglier side of the internet is preconditioned to hate on a young woman daring to exist). Your position is certainly not something I would want or likely even be able to handle with half the grace you do. Thanks from Canada. 🙏 I just got back into chess after 25 years. I’m studying the game for the first time, and I love watching your videos. Mostly because you’re always looking on the bright side, without hiding the truth of the less bright bits. Class act Cramling! 🏆
The more games I watch, the more I realize how well you have to play for the engine advantage bar to matter. Just one out of place move can crash the bar from one side to the other.
Yes. One mistake can ruin an entire tournament and go from winning a prize to winning nothing. But this is why I love the game. Its as much a game of endurance as much as a game of wits.
One very important lesson from this. If you leave yourself with 3 minutes on the clock in classical chess when your opponent has 30+, and the position becomes tactical, you have no time to work out the best line, and can miss something and make a blunder like Anna does at 11:35. Even if you're a good blitz player, it's very hard to work out all the variations and react to your opponent's move quickly. Conserve your time so that you have some available when you really need it! And OK, many people play well in time-trouble and do fine, but this shows the risk.
Love your positive mental attitude! Best of luck in your final games of the tournament
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.
Chat will always contain really negative, and hurtful people. YOU are positive and uplifting. GO!
Be happy, you’re helping so many improve their game.
I watched this game stream on KZhead. Your mom was on fire with the analysis. There was a lot to teach from this game and thank you for sharing it so selflessly to help the rest of us. Thanks to you and your mom.
I've enjoyed starting my mornings with your round-by-round recaps from this tournament, Anna. Rooting for you! Good Luck!
Missing moves is sooooo much more educational than finding the right moves, if you evaluate, which you do. So this whole tournament has been an absolute beast of experience. Everything happens for a reason, so if the universe has stitched you up this tournament, it can only be because you're set to accel in future tournaments. It was almost the last peice of the puzzel to get you into your best form of your life. Without it you might have never peaked to the best form you could have reached. Thats one way you could look at it. Takes the positives and we all know how good you are, your supporters will be here in the lows and the highs and we know theres gonna be lots of highs. also try not to have expectation, win or lose, because you cant predict the future, be in the now. if you have expectation it creates resistance, which muddles your mind, specifically concentration, so if you are neutral and in the moment, you will get access to a more efficient mind and thoughts and ideas. The objective is not winning, its playing, winning is just a side effect of playing well
Thnaks for the recaps and live games. You’re mom is the best!
Pia sounds like she's calling the Kentucky Derby but running out of things to say 😂
"... and Down the Stretch she comes!!!"
I really like your honesty, candor, and your openness to learning at every tournament. Thanks...
Thanks for still providing all the content! I remember how it felt playing 'competitive' chess back when I was a kid and how my performance would shift dramatically depending on how I felt on the day. I'm glad you have the determination to push through any losses like this, and that you've still managed to get a very decent score in the tournament so far!
So proud I found Nf3+ :D Probably would've blundered in the follow up anyway.
You and Levy are the reason I started playing chess again. Your positivity is infectious! You’re doing great! Thank you for the videos and the cow opening!
Your videos are so very inspiring, educational and fun. I started playing chess again this year after watching the streams and recaps of your Rilton Elo tournament back in Dec/Jan. I think that from my games, I've learned the most when either I've had a really good win or really tough, upsetting loss. As for your opponent's brilliant knight check, your mom pointed that out early and we nervously watched him think and think for about 40 minutes to see if he'd find it or not before he made that move.
I recently subscribed to your channel and am really enjoying following you in the tournaments. You're very easy to root for and I really like your game recaps. I haven't played chess since before the Internet, but I'm learning a lot from you and may even start playing again. Good luck the rest of the way!
Your'e awesome Anna! You teach chess players so much by the way you analyze your wins and losses. Your'e really one of the best ambassadors of this sport!
You are brilliant and I love your way of thinking. Having bad days is normal, but its the way you learn from those that will make you better. It is an incredible force you have to acknowledge that and you will always have my full support.
Just wanted to appreceate the content and all the hard work you put in, Anna. Head up and the best of luck for the rest of the tournament!!!
Don't beat yourself up, Anna. We all support your Chess playing.
Your educational way of showing good and bad moves is such a wonderful thing! Thanks Anna, Wish You Good Luck!
You are doing an amazing job with all of this at the same time keep up the amazing work
Thanks for sharing this game. Yours is among the best ches content out there. We'll keep supporting you, so keep it up
I love how mature and positive you are. I’m really impressed. Good luck 🍀 I’m rooting for you!
I'm so excited to watch you grow in chess and as a person 💗
I think it’s so insightful and courageous that you can look your own mistakes in the eye and even share them with us. We don’t learn from the best brilliant moves that have been made, but the more from this self reflection. ¡Me encantan estos vídeos!
I enjoy and look forward to your videos. They are showing me a deeper look into the world of chess
I love your positive outlook and mentality on chess and when you encounter losses. I hope you keep having fun and I am glad you are sharing your journey with us.
Love watching your journey. Best wishes for next rounds.
Was really amazed by the Nf3+ move. Would have definitely fall for this one aswell. Good luck for the rest of the tournament. 🙂
It is always so interesting to see your games even when you loose. You explain what was in your mind, why you take this or that decision. It is really interesting. I love it. Hope you will win more games.
Anna that was a really touching and beautiful video. You are an inspiration, and not just to chess players. Thanks 🙏🏻
Like in life you learn more from losing than winning. You are absolutely right, losing gives you the opportunity to grow and get better, eliminating weaknesses. ❤️❤️❤️
excellent points! Anna you make chess exciting! You and your Mom have so much enthusiasm! Your points about losing are so grown up and true.
You do a really awesome job of showing what a tournament is like, it's ups and downs and all the work going on before/during/after. I have never seen chess at this level so brilliantly explained. Your recaps are really insightful, your moms commentary is so amazing, she shows us these different thought's that one should be going through, and wow does she really knows her stuff. To me you are playing really well, with only a couple moves here or there being wrong. You even know it while playing, so it seems to me that just playing more tournaments and becoming consistent would make a difference. Seems the same with all sports/games, consistency of excellence is required. Today I tried two new AI tools, one for AI animation called nightcafe and another for music called suno. For fun I entered "Anna playing chess tournament" and it made a really cool song with fun lyrics. You might want to try these for thumbnails, intro videos and music, They can be a bit weird at times, but are still rather interesting. Also free to experiment with.
I get better after watching every video. You're amazing for the world of chess, Anna. Keep it up!
It’s great to watch someone whether results are good or not so good. It’s enjoyable to watch and hopefully learn 😊thank yo7 and good luck for the rest!
Hi Anna, you are a great KZheadr. These short game breakdowns with your commentary are just amazing. We can experience chess games, tournaments and learn something with you. Keep it up. 👍👍👍
Unlucky Anna. Thanks for the recap, it was an interesting game. Good luck in the penultimate round 8!
In bocca al lupo Anna
The last tournament I played was almost exactly 20 years ago. Your channel (along with Gotham's) have inspired me to play again, and I plan to play an in-person tournament this year and see if I can improve on my old rating of 1397. Thanks for your positive and inspiring view into competitive chess!
_The one time I think too little, I make a mistake!_ Thank you for an "entertaining" recap, Anna. Your summary remined me of an old cult Western movie with Clint Eastwood... The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
The snag was that she didn't have time to think because she had spent too much time thinking on earlier moves. Only 3 minutes left in classical chess when your opponent has over 30 is not a great idea if the position becomes very tactically complicated like this and you need enough time to work the lines out.
@@iankemp1131 Yes, completely agree... _The snag was that she didn't have time to think because she had spent too much time thinking on earlier moves._
Your mentality and attitude are awesome!!!!! Good luck in your next game. 👍🤞👍
juegas muy bien, no te desanimes, en si, a veces se gana, y a veces se pierde, y si se pierde, eso puede servir de experiencia para aprender.
Right attitude. It‘s like with many things in life. On the long term you learning from mistakes and dealing with setbacks is what brings you forward. Good choices for your next game !
What a great attitude, Anna! Your fortitude and positive spirit is super inspiring! Keep it up and remaining such an awesome chess ambassador! 👏🏾
That's the fighting spirit. Go, Anna! Eye of the tiger. Good luck.
I'm learning chess from you.. so, keep doing what you're doing. Good luck with the rest of the tournament.
Thank you, Anna ! I was able to anticipate your opponent's move with his knight. Clear: your instructions and commentary are having a positive effect on my ability to analyze positions. 🙂
Congratulations Anna, ill love to play at 10% of what You play, role model. Take the learnings and improve to the next tournament. Saludos desde Colombia.
I don't play chess because I suffer from checkmatePhobia, but I enjoy Anna's explanations.
Such a beautiful person❤...good luck Anna!!!🤞🏻💪🏻💪🏻
That million-dollar smile. Chess Princess
I admire your grace and humility, Anna. Part of chess is losing and you model how to win at losing.
Your willing to keep learning so you have already won.
You played very well in the last tournament. I'm following you Miss 💖
Anna You are a very important part of my day I wait to see your videos. I love your match explanations, your story telling and your voice. Losing a match = learning You can do this girl And thanks for sharing all of this with us
Keep up the good spirit Anna! I wish the best for you
your awesome I enjoy your commentary and enthusiasm you are so much fun to watch. We all love you so much.
It's always a pleasure to watch your games. We have some good streamers, they make me laugh and i can learn from, but you always give very positive vibes. Thank you for that!
The only thing that seperates winners and losers is the ability to persevere. You're not going to regret any failed attempt anywhere near as much as you'd regret failing to attempt.
you do such a great job with your videos .... thank you win or lose, you learn that whats important
Anna in every tournament.. I need to study openings. 🙈 So Proud of you girl. You will make a come back and turn everything around. We believe in you! ❤️
I love your analysis and sharing your thoughts during the match. You are on the verge of a breakthrough. You clearly see some of the issues that cost you a match. Learn and stay positive. Chess Princess
I mean... you were VERY tired. Of course you wanted to win, but if you are tired, sometimes it is prudent going for the draw or accepting it if it appears... many times if I'm tired I accept draws when I know I might win because I know being tired may get me to hallucinate. Anyway congrats for playing + streaming because that's so tiring and demanding!! Rating points come and go but I feel you are also learning so much though this process of sharing your games with us. Eventually this learning will reflect on your rating as well. Felicidades y fuerza, Anna!! Gracias por compartir!!😊🙏❤💪
Ps: actually I was completely winning on a game on Sunday and I threw it away with a couple of moves, I was offered a draw and I kind of didn't want to accept😂but I was lucky that someone from my club came to me and told me to accept the draw, which I did😂 I thought I was losing a lot of points for drawing with this apparently lower-rated opponent but in the end he had erroneously written his rating in the paper so in the end I won 4 points for drawing him😂life's funny like this!
Congratulations! Are team mates allowed to coach during a tournament game? Or was it unofficial points won?
imho the reason of those two bad moves in this game is just you wanting to overcompensate previous long game given the exact position any day before or some days later, you wouldnt make them (i coach kids a lot and see this daily)
I am a 1900 rated player...and this guy didn't play like a 1900 rated player 🤣 either he was extremely inspired that day, or he doesn't play a lot and will get a higher rating soon. Good luck with the rest of the games!
I looked for a long time at Nf3+, given the big hint Anna had dropped, but was thinking of Qg5+ as the follow up after which White simply has Kh2. Then, looking at the open lines for the Rooks on d4 and e2, I finally spotted Ng5. Certainly Nf3+ is very difficult for White to spot as a threat.
Anna - Great that you are so open about your mistakes.
Essentially she YOLO'd the move
Your analysis is exactly right, you can’t always play well and you have to accept it and learn from it.
That was a brilliant move that your opponent saw. I also saw knight f3
You are such an inspiration, Anna.
I don't think there has ever been a time with this many high-caliber players. The amount of practice and instruction we all can have now is legion compared to the players of old.
Great video as always and unlucky, on to the next one!
Thanks for the video Anna. Enjoy your victories, learn from your losses. Both give you something of value. Have fun. Cheers
Brilliant and Intimidating !!!
I have been playing chess for two years +- I started 700 and now I'm 1200. I have been inspired and learning specialy by you and gothamchess, (Levy) because you really make it fun and interesting. One of the things that I've learned for myself and not in your videos is that I can play a lot better when I slept enough and I'm not tired from work. My head works a lot better and I do a lot less of stupid things. I also need to "warm up" my head. The first 1 or 2 games are usually worse and after that they come statistically much better. Good luck for tomorrow and rest!!!
Best of luck Anna! Your enthusiasm and positivity are inspiring. Keep it up and looking forward to your next day at the tournament!
I’ve started playing chess thanks to your videos . I’ve also realized how impossible it is to win. Keep up the good work.
I love the conclusion that you got a deeper insight why you lost this game. You concluded it is a structural issue. Only being superior honest you can make this conclusion. Respect for being superior honest as a human. 👍💗👍
Good Luck! You have the right attitude! Losing a match, but learning something from your mistakes, is 100% profit. Gaining understanding is more important than winning every game. I'll be cheering for you today from my office chair lol!
You can win the rest of the way! Journey to higher rating has a few bumps on the road but I am sure you will come out on top at the end. Good luck!
Good luck Anna, you’re one of the best !
Began to pĺay because of your awesome analysis.... played few times as a child. Now i am 50 and i think its a little like playing Skat. Time after time you learn traps, tactic etc and develop own style. I began with an App, where you have to solve problems and beside, play, play, play ...... thats how i improved my Tennis, Skat und Dart Level on a high level. I have to sacrifice a lot to learn a lot ......
Anna u are a very fairplay chess player ! Good luck in the future !
Do not play on things you want, but play on what the position say....
You're still a great player Anna. Very inspiring video. 👍
You were tired. You needed to recharge between games. It was a rough day after the morning game. It was hard to get back in the right head space.
