Why do we watch Anna Cramling? 1. She makes chess fun. 2. She shows her wins, her losses, and she takes JOY in the game . 3. She demonstrates that chess is a fun game, even if you lose and that you can learn from the process. 4. She doesn't look so serious and spend all her time criticizing others, she doesn't dwell on drama . . . unless it's some game drama in the moment.
She's only giving Anna "the business" for being a 10/10. People can make their own opinions and progressions from whatever opening they so choose. There's a lot of openings out there. Has she gone after Magnus' Troll Opening or the infamous Bong Cloud opening or is she just out to get Anna? (It's the latter.)
As hard (maybe stoic is the word I am looking for) as Dina came at Anna, Anna still managed to drive the interaction towards pleasant, so much so that Dina seemed emotionally vulnerable to her. Anna, breaking down those walls with kindness and joy
There was no trash-talking. They're friends. Dina knows she can push Anna a bit because Anna is strong. She's just being honest to a friend. That's precious.
@@e.d.1642 That is not a friend. Anna shared an opening she likes with her audience, and she was attacked for it. Dina is an unhealthy type of person to be around.
I started watching Anna Cramling's vids a couple months ago. The passion and hilarity inspired me to play my first 2 games of chess on some phone app. I hadn't played since I was about 9 previously. It's been over 30 years. While the cow opening didn't specifically inspire me, nor have I played it. The excitement Anna exhibits in all of her videos, including the cow related ones were inspiring! But thanks to all of you chess content creators for your content. Levy, Botez, Hikaru, Dina, and Anna have all been entertaining.
@@privatename3621 Chess is psychological game, that’s the type of game Dina often plays, they are polaropposite, lately as Dina has gotten better I see less of that, its not to be cruel, its one way Dina likes to have fun.
I'm not a big chess player, but my son is (he played your mom in Covent Garden couple weekends ago). I started playing him more often after I learned the cow because it's the only opening I can remember! Thank you, Anna!
@@theherk What are you talking about bro...... " The Pig " opening is the best among all the openings, my brother invented that opening and he is a super grandmaster, he plays so well that even players like Magnus and Hikaru were unable to manage a single win against him! You should definitely check out The Pig opening!
Anna: Happy bubbly, giggling, having fun playing chess Dina: On a mission to DESTROY Anna at all costs Love seeing the contrast between you two players🤣 Great game!
Anna: "Don't you even play chess to have fun?" Dina: Angry sarcastic staring and avoids the question. THIS! This right here is why I vehemently dislike Dina and Gotham and most of the other big chess youtubers, but I like Anna. Unlike them, Anna though she does compete, she still plays to have FUN. Almost as if it's a game or something. None of these other people seem to have any fun or really any creativity when it comes to chess. Anna made the cow opening and a lot of them hate it and talk crap about it. Why? Because it goes against the fundamentals. So do tons of other strategies! Who cares? Just because they want to play the same dozen or so opening strategies over and over again, doesn't mean everybody else has to or even wants to. Spice it up. Try new things. Throw a little chaos into the mix. Oh yeah and above all HAVE FUN.
Thats why i love watching Anna. She always has such good vibes. She can deal with any opponents no matter how toxic or critical or roasting they are. Even when she loses she keeps her good energy.
I am so much more an Anna fan than a chess fan. She transcends the game. Anna is Anna…a joyful and amicable soul. Dina reminds me of the Villanelle character in Killing Eve….incredibly interesting but deadly. Honestly, I find the characters in the chess world much more interesting than the game itself. There is nothing more complex than human beings.
You handled yourself so well during this interaction with Dina. You kept things very friendly, yet didn't get intimidated. Dina took this so seriously, and she was still feeling tilted that she didn't beat you on your OTB match. Her position on The Cow in my opinion is inaccurate. I can see The Cow as a great beginner opening to learn (easy, symmetrical, playable both colors). Think of The Cow not as the be all ultimate opening but as a gateway to learning more chess and other openings. Plus, The Cow is just a fun opening to play!
The cow is a joke. Even her parents say it isn't a good opening. She made it to get content not because she thinks it is a good opening. It is why she doesn't play it.
LOL the cow is OBVIOUSLY a joke. It's not a real opening, for a beginner or anyone else. Maybe a very strong GM could 'pull it off' and still win DESPITE playing this fake opening. But it's not helping anyone, it just loses momentum by using 4 turns instead of 2 to move knights to a kind of weird position, it's a net negative. I guess it can force someone to really play fully themselves without any theory (theory is the predictable sequences of moves that happen within a classic opening sequence), but that's just about it...

Yeah, but it was also not a great idea to do side by side recordings of different chess games where both were being recorded for social media. ANDDD... sitting in booths directly across from each other acting as echo chambers. And those photogs wandering around... exactly how many pictures or video do you need???
Im fans of both of them, i dont think dina was particularly mean or anything to Anna and i really enjoyed watching this match. Trash talking is kinda her thing and its not that deep. Hope to see you guys play more in the future!
The idea behind the cow is noble, and worth defending. Theory can be intimidating, and having a nice simple system makes it less intimidating. Besides, the point is to illustrate that openings doesnt **have** to be hard. Even if someone never plays the cow, it still helps break down that barrier. Also, if it pisses off the chess snobs, that's just an added bonus.
I don't play chess , but for the last few weeks I have been watching Anna , she is inspiring me to want to play ...The fact that she made an opening is wonderful to me....but never did she say to use it ...or that it was good .. just that it was one. .Dina is the reason I wouldn't start... Anna you are a great influence... you rock...
I agree with what Dina said, but once in a while you just gotta play to have fun and experiment and try different things. We love you Anna, you’re the best. Pls keep up with your awesome videos.
Anna is the most positive person I've ever seen on the internet, honestly if everyone had even half the optimism and positiveness she has the world would be a better place
There’s something about Dinah that makes me dislike her. The video that she’s caught cheating (put it ing a piece back on the board) for sure didn’t help.
It's not that serious. And I believe what Dina said was supposed to be for the best, she tried to help others avoid the wrong way. Not everyone is brave enough to say that your friend or just a partner in sth sitting right in front of you is wrong, face to face.

@@allamoore483I agree, you should always be honest and open with your friends, especially when you don't agree with their behavior.

So funny! First of all I love how catty you both are. Dina dying to dominate Anna. Anna diffusing it with "you look so happy...I'm happy that I made you happy Dina" smirking and laughing. Dina thinking, damn it! I want to make you cry! I think they are 2 best friends that love each other.
The cow was good for my chess. No systematic attack sequences really forced me to develop my analysis skills. Not having limes of theory to play made me consiser strategy more than I had before. For 99% of your following, it will help far more than hurt.
Jesus. Dina needs to relax. Unless she is playing some type of character, she is so uptight. Just relax. Anna is having fun. She is fun to listen to. No one is forcing anyone to use any particular opening. I think it is Dina’s rigid background coming out.
there's something really powerful in the way they banter while rapid fire playing and barely glancing at the board. like i want to see this animated in a series :))
I started playing chess bc of your videos Anna!! I am mid-life adult woman, and chess has absolutely never seemed fun until I stumbled across your videos on RUclips. I love your attitude and seeing your beautiful relationship with your mom, you make chess seem like fun puzzles. I have a very intellectually demanding job (professor) and chess has never seemed worth the effort. It has always seemed to be permeated by bad attitudes of insecure people trying to one up each other and prove they are smarter, etc etc; exactly the type of attitude this woman has. She’s an awful person, it doesn’t matter at all how good at chess she is. She should reevaluate her priorities and think a little bit harder about what it means to live a good life. Keep being you!!
I liked the first half of this comment but how can you judge someone for being an awful person due to one video? I know she cheated once, which I wish she could apologize for to the guy, but one action does not really make you a bad person, and trying to be intimidating is just a persona she has for fun, also it can help with the psychology to win chess games (which even Magnus uses). But I do think she also just is taking these games very seriously since she didn't go to the closing cermony due to a loss. She is much better too, so it hurts when losing or drawing to people rated below you like Anna and Alex. It's just competition.
Oh, you two girls crack me up! I love the spicy conversation. On the cow, okay, if it's no good, you can still learn it to understand why it's no good. I think it can help creativity to go out of book, to make intentional mistakes, to take risks, to evoke some scary stuff and affect different parts of the brain. Prob we can play any opening with no detrimental effects if we stay objective and continue to ask questions and not try to insist to be dogmatic. I think there is common ground between you two guys to come to an understanding.
as a beginner ''the cow'' opening really helped me improve my rating. Beginners usually just want an easy opening and the cow is definitely good and easy to memories. Anna did a great job with it
After playing chess casually for 30 years, I found the cow by mistake. It quickly became my favorite opening. I have played thousands of games with a cow. Especially in 1 minutes games. It is fast in the start. It is perfect for taking people out of their familiar, comfortable, memorized lines. It is perfect for making complex puzzles in the board. Most opponents run out of time. I love it the Cow… it adds fun to an old game.
@@rauljorquiera4922Envy for sure. And several people have said, "Why, Dina is the better player?" But Anna is so infectiously joyful, fun, and positive. You can tell she's a really happy person and people are drawn to that. Dina doesn't seem to be a particularly happy or light hearted person and that creates envy.
I feel The Cow is a net-benefit cause it gives folks confidence to learn openings. And if a few people end up in a weak position using The Cow . . .they'll learn.
Since Belenkaya cheated against a player from Washington, without telling him at the end that she had moved the pieces to create a draw, I saw who I was dealing with. A little snake in the grass.
Anna has a point... The Cow Is the first and only opening I know! Chess has always intimidated me so I erroneously thought I wouldn't enjoy it... and now I'm old so can't remember new data like theory or openings. With The Cow, I can enjoy playing intuitively with no pressure. I don't know Dina much, but she gives off some serious Chess Coach vibes - in that context, she also has a strong point!
And what is chess? It's not a card game fool, it's a difficult one, a sport one. And you need decades to become a good player. So It is serious indeed. However, Dina and Anna just tease each other, you can notice it visiting both pages, so it's ok)
idk what she's saying. Anna is one of the most open chess streamers I have seen. She shares her feelings, her experiences, her family, and her games. I suspect Dina is projecting her own closed-off nature, though I don't know because I'd never heard of her before today
That is trash-talk and nothing more. Just one of the tricks, like flagging. Well, a little bit more illegal as it is forbidden in serious tournaments. But quite OK for any friendly game:)
I've watched Anna a lot longer than Dina, I just started watching some of her videos. I think she just has a particular style of humour that isn't mainstream. I don't think she was being serious at all during this game or her stare downs and trash talk. I think Dina plays it up for the cameras, you can even tell she starts to sort of pose when the camera guy comes around. I mean I don't know her personally, but just from her videos, it seems more of a persona she puts on then anything else
@@pablojosueriveraaguilera4088 Jealousy never is about who is actually better, it's about someone's insecurity you know. People can be jealous about ridiculous things just because they compare themselves, don't see their own worth and strive to feel some kind of superiority. In reality everyone has something to be proud of and there is no point in being jealous about others c:
@@pablojosueriveraaguilera4088Beauty is completely subjective. And Anna is young, her playing will continue to improve. But her joy is infectious, she's fun and lovable, she's got a magnetic personality. It's very easy to see that Anna is a super happy person and people genuinely like being around her. Dina absolutely doesn't have that type of energy. So her personality combined with her being beautiful, successful, talented, and intelligent ...I'd say there's plenty for Dina to be jealous of.
Anna, you ARE an inspiration and you definitely do not hurt ANYONE with the cow. I have never seen someone so obviously jealous in my life. Good job not letting ANYONE EVER intimidate you!
Guilty. I never really played chess, saw the cow and I thought "HA!" - I'm gonna beat my 4 year old niece with this opening. And I did. Proud of myself. Moo.
@@kevinkonig3892Yes. I can't provide links, but in Dina''s channel it's a video named "Why Do People Accuse Me of Cheating??" at 13:20 and in Anna's channel you can see a video named "This Chess Hustler Accused Me Of Cheating" where you can see he was upset about it.

Jesus. Dina needs to relax. Unless she is playing some type of character, she is so uptight. Just relax. Anna is having fun. She is fun to listen to. No one is forcing anyone to use any particular opening. I think it is Dina’s rigid background coming out.
Dina looked as relaxed as could be at the end. 😏
Its a beef for content chill
Really appreciate the subtitles
Quel talent cette Anna elle dit ce qu’il faut et avec quel enthousiasme
Dina is obviously trying to psyhic her out. and Anna is so sweet I think she got to her a little. Anna would not make a very good poker player.
You weren't wrong, I had never played chess until I found your videos, It's so fun!
You're awesome Anna 😊
The sister-like banter is too funny
there's something really powerful in the way they banter while rapid fire playing and barely glancing at the board. like i want to see this animated in a series :))
I started playing chess bc of your videos Anna!! I am mid-life adult woman, and chess has absolutely never seemed fun until I stumbled across your videos on RUclips. I love your attitude and seeing your beautiful relationship with your mom, you make chess seem like fun puzzles. I have a very intellectually demanding job (professor) and chess has never seemed worth the effort. It has always seemed to be permeated by bad attitudes of insecure people trying to one up each other and prove they are smarter, etc etc; exactly the type of attitude this woman has. She’s an awful person, it doesn’t matter at all how good at chess she is. She should reevaluate her priorities and think a little bit harder about what it means to live a good life. Keep being you!!
I liked the first half of this comment but how can you judge someone for being an awful person due to one video? I know she cheated once, which I wish she could apologize for to the guy, but one action does not really make you a bad person, and trying to be intimidating is just a persona she has for fun, also it can help with the psychology to win chess games (which even Magnus uses). But I do think she also just is taking these games very seriously since she didn't go to the closing cermony due to a loss. She is much better too, so it hurts when losing or drawing to people rated below you like Anna and Alex. It's just competition.
@@juliel2488 Yeah, she's probably not an awful person. But she definitely seems like an unhappy one.
The cow is easy and has no theory. Makes it great for beginners, compared to other openings. I'm proud of you, Anna, cramling.
Oh, you two girls crack me up! I love the spicy conversation. On the cow, okay, if it's no good, you can still learn it to understand why it's no good. I think it can help creativity to go out of book, to make intentional mistakes, to take risks, to evoke some scary stuff and affect different parts of the brain. Prob we can play any opening with no detrimental effects if we stay objective and continue to ask questions and not try to insist to be dogmatic. I think there is common ground between you two guys to come to an understanding.
It's annoying when people give a nervous laugh when they're angry (and don't know when to stop)
It's hilarious that the two of them are doing all this, but in the end, they came out of the tournament tied.
as a beginner ''the cow'' opening really helped me improve my rating. Beginners usually just want an easy opening and the cow is definitely good and easy to memories. Anna did a great job with it
The only person who doesnt like the cow opening is Bart Simpson.
Apparently!
Ay caramba!
After playing chess casually for 30 years, I found the cow by mistake. It quickly became my favorite opening. I have played thousands of games with a cow.
Especially in 1 minutes games. It is fast in the start. It is perfect for taking people out of their familiar, comfortable, memorized lines. It is perfect for making complex puzzles in the board.
Most opponents run out of time. I love it the Cow… it adds fun to an old game.
The cow opening makes people interested in chess and makes them think. That is positive.
.. that there is a clash of philosophies, dark vs light😳
Wednesday vs Enid 🙂
It’s a jew vs an actual Israelite all who have ears to hear listen.
I have been playing the cow for 30+ years.
It was very popular in 1925 and in the seventies. It is by no means new. It is just becoming popular again.
Ana is just super humble, I don't know anything about chess but I enjoy watching her ❤
I got into chess because of Anna a few years back.
The way Dina looks at you... Well, I dunno...
lol
@@golden4871 it looks like there's envy behind all.
@@rauljorquiera4922Envy for sure. And several people have said, "Why, Dina is the better player?" But Anna is so infectiously joyful, fun, and positive. You can tell she's a really happy person and people are drawn to that. Dina doesn't seem to be a particularly happy or light hearted person and that creates envy.
@@QueenofMarine I meant dina is envious of anna. But now I think she made that interaction to call mote attention and have more followers.
@@rauljorquiera4922 you're making shit up. Most likely because you're heavily biased because she's Russian.
SISTER ANNA, WE ALL LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE, YOUR AWESOME GIRL !!
I feel The Cow is a net-benefit cause it gives folks confidence to learn openings. And if a few people end up in a weak position using The Cow . . .they'll learn.
Since Belenkaya cheated against a player from Washington, without telling him at the end that she had moved the pieces to create a draw, I saw who I was dealing with. A little snake in the grass.
She indeed cheated? Is there a vid on yt where she cheats? Because If she really cheated... I dunno what to say...
Anna has a point... The Cow Is the first and only opening I know!
Chess has always intimidated me so I erroneously thought I wouldn't enjoy it...
and now I'm old so can't remember new data like theory or openings.
With The Cow, I can enjoy playing intuitively with no pressure.
I don't know Dina much, but she gives off some serious Chess Coach vibes - in that context, she also has a strong point!
that Dina look is gangsta. run Anna while you still can!
I imagine Dina being a vampire. Yes run Anna she wants your blood!
Moooo! You had her thinking so hard and she couldn't think of what to say, such fun!! Yeah Anna!! 😂😂😂
It's funny how Anna at the end get confused for Dina smiled at her happily. Like wait what? 😅
I legit played chess from around 11 years old to 14 years old. After some cow opening hype in my youtube feed. I returned to playing.
They either know and like each other well or this is like the most awkward video ever.
Sometimes Dina takes chess a little too seriously.
And what is chess? It's not a card game fool, it's a difficult one, a sport one. And you need decades to become a good player. So It is serious indeed. However, Dina and Anna just tease each other, you can notice it visiting both pages, so it's ok)
This Is My Favorite Match Up In Chess.
The Dynamic Between You Two Is Palpable
idk what she's saying. Anna is one of the most open chess streamers I have seen. She shares her feelings, her experiences, her family, and her games. I suspect Dina is projecting her own closed-off nature, though I don't know because I'd never heard of her before today
That is trash-talk and nothing more. Just one of the tricks, like flagging. Well, a little bit more illegal as it is forbidden in serious tournaments. But quite OK for any friendly game:)
Are you really that stupid you don't realise this is just made up and they are actually friends? Please never ever vote. Or breed.
I've watched Anna a lot longer than Dina, I just started watching some of her videos. I think she just has a particular style of humour that isn't mainstream. I don't think she was being serious at all during this game or her stare downs and trash talk. I think Dina plays it up for the cameras, you can even tell she starts to sort of pose when the camera guy comes around. I mean I don't know her personally, but just from her videos, it seems more of a persona she puts on then anything else
They tease each other, it's just for fun or content, it's ok)
You two have some great chemistry with each other; I really enjoyed watching your game! Cant wait for your next match!😊❤
Dina is so jealous of you😂bless her heart
Jealous of what? She is a better player and as pretty as Anna.
@@pablojosueriveraaguilera4088 "Well, that's just like... your opinion man." -Lebowski
@@pablojosueriveraaguilera4088 Jealousy never is about who is actually better, it's about someone's insecurity you know. People can be jealous about ridiculous things just because they compare themselves, don't see their own worth and strive to feel some kind of superiority. In reality everyone has something to be proud of and there is no point in being jealous about others c:
That's just a friends talk. Look at Dina's page - they tease each other. It's more like for content and for fun)
@@pablojosueriveraaguilera4088Beauty is completely subjective. And Anna is young, her playing will continue to improve.
But her joy is infectious, she's fun and lovable, she's got a magnetic personality. It's very easy to see that Anna is a super happy person and people genuinely like being around her. Dina absolutely doesn't have that type of energy. So her personality combined with her being beautiful, successful, talented, and intelligent ...I'd say there's plenty for Dina to be jealous of.
All the facial reactions in this game from start to finish is great 🥰
This opening chess move is HURTING people? My word, this woman seriously needs to lighten up.
It’s ridiculous.
Anna, you ARE an inspiration and you definitely do not hurt ANYONE with the cow. I have never seen someone so obviously jealous in my life. Good job not letting ANYONE EVER intimidate you!
im brand new to chess and all i do is play the cow. i was told it was the best way to play chess. this is how i play chess forever now
The cow was the first chess opening I learned and inspired me to study other openings ☝️
I have just seen former chess grand master Garry Kasparov in my local cafe...I asked him to pass the salt and pepper ...it took him 26 minutes !!! 😅
I've never seen a morning after quite like this. The love/hate is strong.
Guilty. I never really played chess, saw the cow and I thought "HA!" - I'm gonna beat my 4 year old niece with this opening. And I did. Proud of myself. Moo.
Anna is the queen of sweetness and cuteness in chess and Dina is the queen of thrash talk and beauty.
I really don't like Dina. Her ego couldn't handle losing to some street chess player, so she cheated and disrespected her opponent.
She cheated, that's the moral failure. There's way too much talk about respect and disrespect. It amounts to not much at all.
Is there a video of this ?
@@kevinkonig3892Yes. I can't provide links, but in Dina''s channel it's a video named "Why Do People Accuse Me of Cheating??" at 13:20 and in Anna's channel you can see a video named "This Chess Hustler Accused Me Of Cheating" where you can see he was upset about it.

What an interesting and slightly unnerving game. Lol. My heart stopped the way Dina spoke. Anna was taking it so calmly.
Snow White (Anna) and the Evil Queen
It's awesome that 2 minutes in Anna scores a checkmate before the game even started.
The Cow is a superb act of creativity on your part. The subtle irony of its name has made me smile every time I have heard it mentioned. If bringing joy with your sense of humor and ingenuity is what you are charged with, you are guilty.
The cow sucks. Garbage opening and stop giving it a pass because Anna made it.
Good Game, but I didn't want you to lose, Anna.

These two generate so much fun.
Because she's knowledgeable, was raised on chess, and genuinely loves the game.
