"let me know if you want to see that round".... you expect any answer other than "yes!"? after we watched the rest of the tournament!
Anna making you work that algorithm
Anna, thank you for putting in the wins and the losses with running commentary. That really helps us club players!
I agree
Makes it real. Couldn't be moreso.
Yes! Great stuff!
The Italian Guy is great! What a good sport.. and nice fitting shirt.
That shirt! ❤
Too tight 😩
@@FrancescoSciaudone-up1vy I think I speak for everyone, we were hoping that you two went on a date after this.
I almost spat my coffee out when I thought I heard Anna announce she was playing in the semi-finals of a HUGE chest tournament in London 😂. They spar well together - cool game.
Dang, it's gotten to where every time I tune in to another of Anna's games, right away I'm afraid she's going to run out of time! Doesn't matter how good she plays if she's going to keep running out of time.
Interestingly, when she watches her mom play she always looks extremely concerned with how her time is running out.
At 10:03 there was ..., Qxf1+ 2. Kxf1 Ba6+!! I was so happy I spotted that tactic a move earlier before Italian guy played Re3
I saw that during the game, too
Your interaction at the end was very funny and wholesome! "You stressed me!" "No, you stressed me! I was completely winning."
Congratulations to the Italian guy and yes, I for one would love to see the final match for you for 3rd place. And definitely have to agree that one should never, ever resign. Never give up, never give in... in chess and more importantly in life.
in life yes. in chess, as this game shows, winning on flag with a losing position is kinda weak imho. chess is a mind game, time matters but should not be critical parameter in this game Bc8 is weak, and f6 is huge blunder... for zeinot. Playing Qd2 and f5 is winning I think
I couldnt agree more!
0:19 where? 🤌🤌
classic Italian hands lol
11:37 lol this part cracked me up ... Anna complimented him by saying "You're too fast " and gets the answer " You stressed me " xD xD
Great game! Blundering the rook was critical. But your mass attack in your endgame was terrific! I so enjoy your games
@seheyt mentionned it : Qf1+ Kxf1 Ba6+ takes the rook back and leaves Anna with a bishop + 2 pawns advantage many mistakes are time (and trash talk?) related
Nice to see you finally playing with the guy obviously crushing on you!
The previous video and this one were simply amazing! Apart of knowing how to move the parts which I learned almost 40 years ago, I don't know anything about chess. And yet, I was watching these two games as if I was at a basketball game of my preferred team. As the game advanced, with all the changes, I became more and more nervous and I found myself at the last seconds like the last seconds of a basketball game tied up - I was completely stressed, anxious, nervous and I was deep into the game even though I didn't understand anything! Your narration is probably the best in the world. And I watched you only from a random suggestion by KZhead... Well done!!!
Anna's greatest opponent... the clock. ⏰
to be fair in the previous match he was who had a winning game and made a blunder.
So glad Anna chose to show game(s) she lost as well. Definitely was a super entertaining game.
the narrative on these games is strangely compelling. Well put together videos !
"Never play F6" -- Ben Feingold
"The Italian Guy" a/k/a "Arms" LOL
YES! We want to see your last game in this tournament! This was exciting!
Du gör bra content och jag gillar att du berättar hur du tänker. Ser fram emot att se finalen
It's a "match" made in heaven 😉
Thank you for showing this game. Very interesting to see rematch.
Tiiiiime! But it was fun seeing that black&white bar to the left going up and down like a jojo. 😄 Great upload as always!
As always another entertaining match. Thanks for sharing your blunders so we can learn from them. Yes we want to see your final match please.
Very exciting and good to hear how you were thinking, its lika a third dimension on the board. Thanks.
I just LOVE to follow your games Anna. You are such an inspiration to chess players. What I like most is your lack of prestige and your respect towards your opponents! You make me proud to be a swed 😊
Of course we want to see the next round!
He was quietly upset, because he blew his ‘mating strategy’! 😂
Maybe it is Anna with a mating strategy.😀
Not necessarily.
It was never going to work 😉
Anna losing on time...imagine that.
I hear her say to herself anna don't loose on time
Thank you for the spolier
Who reads the comments before watching the video? Weird
Why are you reading comments before watching the video? That seems like a blunder just like how she lost her rook.@@MrDanielfff777
I do while ads are playing, some do. A lot read while playing.
Intense! Thanks for posting, Anna! Woo!
Had my heart racing at the end!!!
OMGoodness... I discovered Anna today - and it's been a marathon of watching so many of her videos! Simply captivating - brings me back to the movie 'Queen's Gambit' Loved that film! And love you as well Anna... Your parents must be so proud. xo
I was hoping that you would pull it out, but still congratulations to the Italian Guy.
YO???
I like the chemistry between these two haha just sayin... ;)
I had no idea why you moved bishop back in the first place too... It's always great to have the rooks mutually defending each other with no pieces between. The bishop was also defending to rear pawn too. Even so it was a valiant come back attempt.
You missed Qxf1+ ... kxf1, Ba6+ and then his Queen was hanging. You would have been a rook and bishop vs a rook advantage
at 10:05
Great catch
@@RealTerrainHobbies Easy to spot with the engine going crazy haha
@@44r0n-9it’s actually an easy enough tactic, but of course it can be more easily missed when low on time😉
Charles, when correct others’ blitz moves, it is customary to start the comment with ‘aaaactually’. It’s better received that way, especially when you’re pointing out something obvious to someone of the female persuasion.
it is a lesson about overthinking and how the games go a blunder contests at the end
Wowa a close one, you were doing so well. I'm still playing the cow and finding all sorts of ways to win with it. Seems that a lot of people fall into little traps and pitfalls after I play the opening, I presume because they are unfamiliar with it. I really like that it is so solid defensively during the beginning of the game. It makes games last longer and gets me to middle game tactics more often, thus it is increasing my skills at that part of the game. It may not be the best for expert players, but it's great for beginners. Thanks again, I like watching all the games in this event, so the last one would be nice to complete the whole thing!
Never resign, Anna can always lose on clock.
Not in the open.
Wow,, what a match! Please show the final game.
by the way, the computer preferred h6 over g6. it was a tough lost and you were winning until the blunder that changed the fortune of the game.
GG to the both of you
Great content, Anna!
Very nice videos!! Had a lot of fun watching :)
at 10:04 you missed queen takes rook on f1 then king takes queen and then bishop a6 check with a discovered attack on queen 😔
Pretty evenly matched, and also . . .
Would love to see the other game
I didn't have a good feeling about this game. Very enjoyable and suspenseful nevertheless. Yes, please show to consolation game video. I'm hoping the next video is a rematch with Frank as that would be kind of fitting since the last time between you two ended from the accidental illegal move.
OMG what a great fight!!
So sorry that you were eliminated. Would love to see you get third and still be on the podium.
Ahhhhh to BAD Anna, but I also handle stress badly, I was looking forward a dream final would have been you against Levy.
When you shook hands, I thought I noticed a small spark of electricity, Anna. Hmmm.
Of course, we want to see it. Please keep us in the game :)
Fun Fun Fun, another excellent video, thank you Anna, Yes next game please 😀
I was screaming queen to d5 but Anna couldn’t hear me
He loves you❣️Of course we want to see you play!!! You ROCK!!! 🚀💥
I wanna see the finals!! 🤣🤣
Oh Anna, you have got to get your time management sorted out! You play such good games but always get into time trouble 😢
You played well Anna...Seems like you like sprinting, to the finishing line...so train up your sprinting muscles...meaning train up your reflexes, train to make the best moves without much thought, like your hand makes the move quick like a robot....just like someone said of Fischer, he moves like a computer!
Hunky Italian man is so smitten with Anna. I think he wants to be Mr Anna Cramling.
Siri, what is "Projection"?
Anna, ditt sätt att kommentera dina matcher är oerhört spännande och mycket instruerande. Förutom ditt briljanta spel så har du en särskild talang i just iscensättandet och den parallella analysen av matchen under pågående spel. Jag hoppas du fortsätter med detta och gör det mer i framtiden och din ikonstatus kommer att växa än mer. /Olle J.
Swedish girl and Italian guy, don't forget that love conquers all!
💩💩
❤ Omnia Vincit Amor ❤
Tough pressure
Both stealing glances at each other's chest. 😂
Enjoy your commentary so much. Chess Princess
Thank you for these games & MORE PLEASE! FREE
10:10 of course u could have done something different Anna. The winning move here was queen takes f1 rook, with the idea of winning his queen. String goes Queen takes rook, king takes queen (almost forced) bishop checks by moving to a6, king moves anywhere and rook takes queen!!! This was difficult to see with 40 secs left on the clock tho.
I like this duo:)
Bummer ! ! ! Anna you are such a good sport. Please do some travel videos.
Chess speaks for itself
More, more - 4-5 places game please !
Once again the clock beats Anna. Is there a way to flip that "I'm about to flag" switch a bit earlier?
Finally the video. Go Italian Guy! :)
Oh Anna! sorry
When you go Bishop B4, what do you do when they do pawn a3 to push you away. I started last week and don't know why the pros never do this
Anna: your tells are 1.Rocking/swaying, 2. Grabbing your hands and fingers (Squeezing). Fast jerky head movements. Relax, play a poker face. Rotate your shoulders to settle into a natural position, and breath (You are probably holding your breath a little too). Your visible anxiety is less effective than a deadly calm demeanour lol. Remember: Fear is the mind killer.
Absolutely yes.
With 0.3 seconds left on her clock the stalemate was the best outcome unless you had memorized that pawn situation and played differently at 4 seconds
You did a mistake. You didn't play the cow. 😉
That Italian guy is a bodybuilder
Time management continues to hold you back. Perhaps its's time to consult mom? But your still so young to be playing at this level. Proud of you sweetie.
What about not talking so you can concentrate better. Would that make a difference?
@@fayskelley it was just a normal tournament not some serious one
Before Corona I had arms like him😢 unbelievably still struggling to be regular at the gym.
The vaccine will do that to you. So will long covid. It took me a couple of months to get all my strength back. No vaccine.
Bummer! Great job though. 5 minutes goes so quickly over the board
Enjoyable game. 👏
Pobre chico italiano, que forma más cruel de decirle que no tiene posibilidades 🤣😅 Ni por su nombre le llamas jajaja :P
Italian brother definitely be hitting the gym. WE GO GYM!!!
“You Stress me” = “I Love you”❤❤❤
6:00 on Qh4 f6 I think there is Bxg6 followed by Qh8 Qh7
He sacrificed 2 pawns at start of the game to get better piece movements.
Proud to say I taught Francesco how to dirty flag 🤣
YES!!!!!!, PLEASE SHOW US YOUR 3rd/4th place round
No wine for you, Anna!
Anna: Isn’t she lovely!
Damn thats a huge blunder
If I was up those pawns, I woulda just Qf6 (instead of Qc7) and blunt the active queen immediately. The trade doubles pawns but simplifies and sidesteps back row issues. What do you think?
At 5:25, doesn't The Italian Guy have the infamous 'Greek Gift' #-sequence..(minus the Knight)..? Rather than the Rh3 move, he simply sacrifices the Bishop with Bh7+... zugswang is K must take B, then R to the h-file...K must return to g8..then Q completes & closes the diagonal... protected by Anna's pawns... Black Q is one move behind
Well, when he said he wabts Anna to win the competition, he was just flirting, we can see now that he wants a lot to win!
this dude is JACKED
Hi Anna... past tense of shake is shook (hands).
We want to see every round you can share
