Linda seems super nice and gracious. Chat was giving people a hard time for asking Pia if you knew how to checkmate with the bishop and knight. Glad to know it wasn’t a completely ridiculous question. Congratulations on your result! You and Pia are so great to watch.
This was a great match. Anna showed a lot of middle and end game strength during her matches. Pia's narrations were gold, too. Thanks for covering the tournament and congratulations on a well-earned victory!
@jamesrawlins735 It was exciting. Pia's dramatic and breathless commentary made it even more so. Nemo's smack the clock gambit was hilarious. When Nemo was told to beat the clock, she took it way too literally. 😆😊
Usted era mi jugadora favorita en este torneo. Muchas felicidades por la victoria y a Pia por los comentarios de las partidas. ¡Verdaderamente impresionante!
@@legion162 Some of the chess is OK. The fake drama isn't fun and entertaining. Well, maybe if you were 13 or 14 years old, you would find it "fun and entertaining". Unfortunately they are chess players, not actresses, so most of it is wooden and cringeworthy.
This was a great event. I enjoyed watching the various games and switching between channels for different commentator perspectives (or when Pia lost audio) and different creator styles. Also all the extra footage and interviews. I am glad you did so well and enjoyed yourself.
I analysed the knight sac she missed. There are probably a dozen lines black can go into leading to dozens more and white has to play them accurately to not lose. They lead into checkmates but they are very counter intuitive and long lines. It would be impossible to calculate them before hand
I really enjoyed watching the Botez camp. It must've been so cool to actually be there. A group of friends in a mansion in Malibu, playing chess and having fun for a week.
I called this opening the Queen's Bongcloud, after a certain miniseries. It's obviously best, but a bit stressful to play in a serious tournament. Great recovery from a challenging (bad) position, and using your speed (time trouble) skills to flip the position. I'd like to see the Queen's Bongcloud more often, but I think this particular move sequence isn't the best way to get there, You do very well in unclear (knife-edge) positions, which makes for good content, especially when your mom is commenting. Fun! Great tournament result.
Congratulations. King D2 made me think of Hammer immediately because of the King D7 Hammer-Leela-Nimzo distraction. Awesome that he did the commentary on that and you included it.
The Botez Tournament introduced me to Anna and the other non-Botez players. Anna, you have an excellent presence and infectious enthusiasm that makes me smile. That is a gift I am very appreciative of, especially at this point of my life.
Congratulations on your win, Anna! And congratulations Linda on a free donut. If you see this, you can let Linda know that I listened to her song "I'll Be Around" and enjoyed it a lot
Congratulations Anna! You had a really good tournament! During the opening I had the flashback too thinking is Linda going to try and use the same opening that Alex did against you? Nice that you mixed things up a bit to keep your opponent guessing. When your mom apologized to everyone in chat declaring that you were going to lose 😒, I did think that Linda would later make a blunder, which she did. I think that sometimes your mom doesn't remember that your opponents aren't as strong as your mom in spotting all the best moves. During the game, I was hoping you'd shoot for the checkmate. But looking back, I'm glad that you went the practical way to win with an up material endgame. Safe and steady was the way to go. Your Kd2 move is a sweet move! Thank you for all the effort you put into your games and recaps and best wishes on the next tournament.
I watch this live and only I could say that this game had a lot of SHOCKING MOOOVES!!! 😮❤. All of us with your mom are so happy for you and proud of You Anna.😊 By the way all the girls there are strong players and stunning... All look like models seriously, amazing.🥰
Nice game again Anna. Wanted to say I really enjoyed this recap format, I'm guessing it takes a ton of effort to do all the cuts for each move, but even without that, your style of narration and explaining clearly is great, along with slipping in funny clips from the stream :)
Congratulations 🎉🎉 You played a phenomenal tournament and got 3rd place(gained some elo in the process) against really strong competition. You showed how strong you really are at chess and you were able to beat 1 WGM and drew with the other one
Guess that means you are the social media ladies 3rd best chess master then. Wow!Fully deserved. Watching you and your mum's commentary and insights has been great entertainment and got me buzzing for chess again last few months Anna. So thank you 👍👨🎤😇....
Well proud of you Anna! And you're not even my daughter😆Love you, your mum , your dad! Either way! Thank you for your content, you have reignighted my love of chess thank you thank you thank you! 😃
Oh this is different! I'm used to the incredibly fast games Anna often plays. Here there is space between moves, and since I have no idea what's going on, it's helpful.
Congratulations Anna I’m so happy you won and also because you are such a positive role model for young and older people as well. Jesus🌺🍃Loves you and keep up the good work 🙌🏻💖✨♟️
Congrats Anna! You earned it! Also, thank you for helping me become a better chess player. Your explanations are often very well said. My skills have gone up maybe 500% from your videos, and is not slowing down anytime soon.
I don't really play chess anymore. I was fascinated by it when Bobby Fischer fought Boris Spassky, then I analyzed every game. I know that there is a great mystery in this game and I admire outstanding players. What you do is fascinating. You give chess a new life, closeness, charm and popularity. You represent the game very well. Thank you for that!
¡Genial veo un cambio positivo en su nivel de juego Anna de un día para otro y un estilo de juego más incisivo y eso me agrada, pues las fáciles guacala!
I can hear Pia’s voice now “She needs to play so and so She did She did Anna played the winning Move I’m so Glad she played that move What a Great Game Anna “ 😅

Pia's commented the whole tournament with such energy especially when your clock was low. It was a blast to watch.
Pia is incredible & she's got so much love
Pia never has to worry about being the best player in the room unless Hikaru is there. She is even better than Levy. He is just faster.
Pia is a legend. She is such a good commentator!
I wish Pia was single. A smoke show that could literally beat me in chess blindfolded? Sign me up.
Hi, Can you share the video's link where Pia commented?
Congratulations on the 3rd place anna this event was so good and exciting
On the other hand Dina, who also finished tied for 3rd, probably isn't in the best of moods (throw in losing the Blitz Championship to Nemo)
Yeah, and all the fake anime rivalry kinda made it entertaining, too, lol.
I thought the Trophy looked SMALL 3rd place is the second looser
@@GunnerLanam The first place trophy might even be smaller. Its a Goat and says something like Everyone Else Sucks But Me.
Linda seems super nice and gracious. Chat was giving people a hard time for asking Pia if you knew how to checkmate with the bishop and knight. Glad to know it wasn’t a completely ridiculous question. Congratulations on your result! You and Pia are so great to watch.
Anna Cramling have such a great vibe, always happy i love people like her
She won, now she can pay for a ticket to get home! ✈
😅😅
1,15 million subscribers means lots of money from YT
Lol. I always thought the event helped with the traveling expenses to some degree.
lol
No now she can buy us all drinks
This was a great match. Anna showed a lot of middle and end game strength during her matches. Pia's narrations were gold, too. Thanks for covering the tournament and congratulations on a well-earned victory!
CONGRATULATIONS ANNA!!!! We were all rooting for you!!
Well done Anna. You earned it. 🎉 Your game vs. Nemo was the best I've ever seen you play. 🏆🥇👏👏
And certainly one of the most exciting endings to a game.
@jamesrawlins735 It was exciting. Pia's dramatic and breathless commentary made it even more so. Nemo's smack the

👏🇸🇪💥🎆💥🎉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Usted era mi jugadora favorita en este torneo. Muchas felicidades por la victoria y a Pia por los comentarios de las partidas. ¡Verdaderamente impresionante!
This was a really cool tournament. Thought the games were wild and looked like an amazing time for the players! Congrats!
I have never sat at a chess board and talked to my opponent about all the stuff we are going to set on fire later.
No? Really? Huh. Go figure.
Depending on how the game goes, the chess board is going on fire first
Isn't that the normal introduction to a chess game? Hmmm...
✈️
Congratulations Anna! You worked so hard and earned a nice check. As a fan I'm so happy for you. Your preparation really paid off
I really hope the Botez tournament becomes a regular thing
Why? It's just an excuse for clickbait, smack talk, and fake drama.
@@PreservationEnthusiast because it's fun and entertaining, maybe you've heard of those things
Such a joy to watch you play Anna. Beauty, brains and a great attitude! keep playing and keep winning! 😉

@@PreservationEnthusiast that is called entertainment
Good for you. And what a finish! And great job at keeping your chin up, in spite of the more difficult times. That means a lot! 🤗
BIG CONGRATULTATIONS
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was a great event. I enjoyed watching the various games and switching between channels for different commentator perspectives (or when Pia lost audio) and different creator styles. Also all the extra footage and interviews. I am glad you did so well and enjoyed yourself.
Anna sees an opening she didn’t expect and the she gets the eyeglasses out, showing she is serious.
It is her tell, she should avoid playing poker.
We're proud of you Anna!! FELICIDADES!! 🤗🤗
Congratulations, Anna! Glad to hear you won't have to row back to Europe like last time. ❤😊❤
Congratulations Anna, I'm so happy for you and your win and your prize money and
the 21 pts you gained. Go have fun tonight and celebrate.❤🎉
she makes 40k a month with youtube videos
One step closer to becoming an international master. Very happy for you.
Pia's commenting was fantastic. She made a slow, hours-long game feel like a thrilling, edge-of your sit event.
Congrats on the 3rd place tie and the 21 point gain in rating!! Go Anna!!
Congratulations on a fantastic tournament performance, well done 👏
WELL DESERVED! Great work Anna !
Congratulations Ana! Your videos are very helpful to people like me who are beginners in chess and don't know much about strategy.
Awesome Anna! You’re doing really well! Congratulations!
I analysed the knight sac she missed. There are probably a dozen lines black can go into leading to dozens more and white has to play them accurately to not lose. They lead into checkmates but they are very counter intuitive and long lines. It would be impossible to calculate them before hand
That's almost every move.
Thank you for all the recaps!
Glad you won back the airfare...and you and your Mom had fun...nice place to play chess.
Great job Anna!
I've enjoyed watching this tournament, even though it messed up my sleep a bit...

Such an amazing tournament! Loved every minute ❤️
Congratulations.

It's so fun to watch you play! Love the energy :)
Congratulations Ana! I really liked your positional pawn sacrifice on b2. Practice sacrificing poison pawns a bit more in your home analysis.
I watch this live and only I could say that this game had a lot of SHOCKING MOOOVES!!! 😮❤. All of us with your mom are so happy for you and proud of You Anna.😊 By the way all the girls there are strong players and stunning... All look like models seriously, amazing.🥰

😊congrats Anna!.that king moved to D2 was an attractive move, probably what Fischer would do, with 2 knights surrounding the king defendsively...
Congratulations 🎉🎉 You played a phenomenal tournament and got 3rd place(gained some elo in the process) against really strong competition. You showed how strong you really are at chess and you were able to beat 1 WGM and drew with the other one
Congrats. Love your attitude and cheerfulness! I hope you make your goal.
