Pia’s the best. She roasts Anna but does it in the nicest way. I’m pretty sure when Anna went nb5 Pia said it was “ambitious” and proceeded to explain for like 10 minutes how it was really not great
with her soft, calm voice too lol, yeah it's quite a juxtaposition.
Where do you go to see Pia's commentary?
@@jamescrenshaw5097 She commentated live on Twitch. You can watch the full game with commentary there.
She seems to be the calmest person in the world, but once she commentates on chess it is like she is commentating on a horse race. And she is like 10 moves ahead of the game, inside of 10 seconds. A treasure!
@@super0nofa Never been on Twitch. I will see if I can figure it out
Mr. Winter seems like a very nice person. Nice game!
So, was it like back to back "blunders" that ended the game?
I can vouch for the fact that Mr Winter is indeed a very nice person! (Hi Kevin 👋). He does need to remember to drink something during the game though ☕, especially at his age 👴!
@@andyproudfoot9073 @ least small sips.
4:34 "it feels like a... frogg" I LAUGHED SO HARD😂😂
I've known Kevin for many years through playing chess in Bradford and Yorkshire league matches and he is a genuinely nice bloke..
Man I just want to give ur opponent a hug. He seems like such a lovable, adorable dude
Absolutely loving the Icelandic chess. Your attitude towards fighting chess is great to see. No cheap draws, never surrender, and “you think you can beat me, prove it” energy 👏
People who use the word "energy" in any other context than physics are weird asf
@@kingofmontechristo you are weird asf
@@kingofmontechristo Its actually a pretty common word nowadays to describe your mood or attitude. Its a lot more weird that you don’t know this, been living under a rock or something?
@@kingofmontechristo "look im not like other ppl!!"
@@kingofmontechristo, have you actually tried looking at the origin of that word? Because it was used way before physics became a separate science field. Exactly as a broad philosophical concept that can include mentality.
It's a crazy idea, but it'd be fun to see you and Eric doing a recap together after your game tomorrow.
I second this
I third this
It's not the craziest idea I've heard, not even today.
Apparently Eric and Anna on OF
I fourth this
He actually played great until the end. What a win. Congrats to you, and to him for his great play.
He plays with the general strength of a 2200 but sometimes makes a 1000-like mistake.
I looked up his FIDE profile. He used to be above 1900.
Actually, that's some good advice for your opponent. I think he needs to take a short break from the board for a while because it seems like he's running himself down. I mean you can only be 100% focused for so long before fatigue kicks in. Hoping he doesn't kick himself too hard over this loss and does well in the end.
Heart attack with his size. Worrying the obesity problem
He didn't need to because he was operating at 1% of his actual potential.
Yeah, I've heard that your focus drops of after the time of a sitcom (25 minutes) and for optimal performance, you should move after that time.
I literally saw Eric Rosen playing next to you and I was like: Yay Eric is there, but when you said that you two would play together in the next match, I went crazy. Good luck, you will need it.
This guy seems so chill... Great game!
He seems so sweet i was lowkey rooting for him
@@boaz7028 I kinda was too xD he seems oldschool
It´s so great you`re playing competetive chess in "real" tournaments again. These videos are so much fun to watch and so exciting. Wish you success!
Pia softly and gently raging at Anna's moves. Love the twitch streams! Pia is awesome.
Is it possible to rewatch them now ? lol I am not familiar with Twitch
@@mohamedkaddouri9622, the VODs are available there
Wish we had Pia's commentary at the end on Twitch. She might have exploded with excitement though. What a great finish. Keep it up tomorrow (2AM here in Bellingham, Wa. USA). GO ANNA!
Can we all forget the chess game for a second, and notice Eric Rosen in the background. Legend
lol could.t stop thinking about this
Yes, that’s all I was thinking while she was talking.
You can notice him more in next round since he is Anna's opponent :)
That's not Eric Rosen in the Background. Just someone who looks unsettlingly similar ;)
@@nychter1da They put all the streamers on fixed boards. Unless they play each other, then one of them has to move.
Love how you see Eric Rosen in the background the entire video as a foreshadowing and then at the end Anna reveals he's her next opponent.
You are good at keeping the suspense up to the end Anna. Glad you won that match, your opponent was indeed a serious contender. Good luck for the other rounds!
15:33 Eric peeking over with an interesting expression.
Great play good luck for next match . I am rooting for you ❤️
Good luck tomorrow Anna!! You've got this. Trust yourself :) Thanks for the great recaps!
love the recaps!!
Totally loved this video. Your commentary was so relatable. I'm so rooting for you.
Very good recap, Anna. I love your energy and competitiveness. Add to that your genuine, ever-present smile and you are a joy to watch.
love your recaps Anna your passion and enthusiasm for chess is great
Good luck and thank you for the recaps. Keep up the good work and great play...
Mr Winter is a REALLY nice person. I literally meet mr winter every couple of months because we play the same tournaments here in the UK.
@4:50 if your brain feels like a sponge it could be inflammation which could be caused by stress, and I recommend Ashwaganda root for that, and/or it could be just being really depleted, I'd eat salmon that is wild caught and fatty to get some omega 3 fatty acids to refuel that brain. Hope it helps!
Is it only the brilliant Dina Belenkaya that's been winning? Anna and Alex not doing as well.
I think Dina has the killer instinct and cool under pressure and higher rated.
Anna and Alex seem to cope less with the pressure. Alex is to hard on herself and Anna. Proud as she is, must be hard living in your parents shadow.
As Pia is a beast in a good way. Love her mum!
Anna, it's just so crazy the way you transmit that energy of being there. I'm so happy to watch my two favorite masters playing against each other!! Good luck to both from Córdoba!! 🇦🇷
Good Luck Anna. Congratulations on your win!!!
15:34 when rosen stares into the camera is golden
Anna I am absolutely loving these recaps 😹 I was on the edge of my seat for that last one! Congratulations, great come back!
I'm excited to see you play again and how you explain everything in this channel. when you explain it's like a drama full of suspense and breathe taking...haha...Aside from that I'm learning from it. And more exciting you will play with Eric. Wow! wheather whose gonna win i'l be both supporting your channel...haha...from a fan with very low rating yet you are one of all i admire who encouraged me to go on playing chess. Thanks Anna! like your mom as well, maybe you got it from her how you explain things.
GG Anna! Well done, well done. Good luck in your next game.
This was a great match to watch
Excellent! Best of luck with your upcoming games.
3:20 Love Anna's delivery, "they're very very very weak. So, oh no they're very weak because...". lol, perhaps they're very very weak.
Glad you learned to never underestimate your opponent.
Nice to see you playing in-person tournaments.
Over the board is a better term
Rosen getting roasted in the background :D, 12:10
Don't feel bad, I have days where I'll play 78-93% accuracy in like 15 games, and then I'll have 1 game where I swear to god, I'll think "ok it was a bad game but I only probably had like 55% accuracy" and I'll run the analysis and the computer will go "you had a 34% accuracy." So I know EXACTLY what you mean about playing full of mistakes for no reason at all.
Good luck tomorrow and in all your other games! I'm really enjoying this content both you and your mom are fantastic and right in your element.
Love the channel. Learning a lot. Thank you for sharing and reviewing your games.
GGs! And good luck against Eric. Watch out for his "Oh no my Queen"s!!
Well done Anna, great to watch these battles. Love watching your videos, your video "The SECRET To Stop Blundering Your Pieces In Chess" vastly improved my chess. Still very new, but enjoying it more and more.
he almost sacrifices the ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK
Thank you, Anna. Always a great joy to go over a chess game. It is appreciated and w are grateful. 🌹
I love how you point out your mistakes. A reminder to all you can overcome mistakes.
Thank you. Enjoyed your post-game commentary.
I love your laugh and your chess commentary! 😁
If Eric says DOH! My bishop! Don't fall for it!
Congrats on the win, Anna!
Quite a battle, and tournament so far. Good luck on the next one!
Its fun to see crazy game like that sometimes. Keep improving Anna i think you can become a international master in the near future.
I really enjoy your recaps! Keep them coming!
I've been watching too many videos when I start to recognize other players in the background
can't wait to see round 5
Love your enthusiasm for the game ❤️
15:25 literally eric rosen in the background lol
He's there the entire time
This series of tournament streams and recaps have been so enjoyable!
Yes, a sponge - I've heard that description before. Okay, time to start playing.
Good luck, Anna. Love watching you play and these recaps. Your mom rock’s commentating.
Congratulations Anna tactical ✌ keep it up I wish you all the best ✌
Thank you for sharing your game, i have learned something from your game. Good game Anna 👍👌
I somehow got super invested in this series. Pia's commentary is so amazing and then seeing your thoughts afterwards. I think he did a lot of prep work for this game that's why he got such a good opening against you. You did amazing and Good luck against Eric tomorrow!
I don't think Kevin would want to be reminded how long he's been playing chess for 😂😂😂
Glad you've won this one Anna! Good comeback after a difficult position!
Nice game Anna!
Love your vids 🤟 Wishing you all the best for tomorrow ☺️
Poor old man haha i loved his reactions, such a gentleman! good game. :D
Wow, good job Anna!
Rosen in the background!!! Can't wait for your game with him tomorrow!
Just found your page. Your approach is very refreshing. Allowing us to watch your losses as well as your wins and being completely transparent. You make it more human. Thank you.
Love your passion & love the way your mom comments on your games 🤣
Good luck Anna!
I love your enthusiasm!😃❤
Thanks for your reviews, Anna. Your games really improves my personal repertoire and knowledge of how to deal with some difficult positions, like this one in the video. I was 1000 a month ago and after your videos (and some literature with very patient analysis of Fischer's games lol) i skyrocketed to 1500. Good luck in your next games)
Cool summary!
I watched the second half of the game and your comeback was incredible to watch, well deserved win! You could see he got really stressed out under the time pressure, but he played very well until that, especially if you consider his official rating.
Very lucky game - and indeed the 1600 rating effect happened, a major blunder. But don't forget that you are a massive RUclips personality which could be daunting to your opponents, and you are very charismatic and have a higher rating than he had - and all of it is being recorded, so he must have felt a lot of pressure. Well done on the win!
good game anna ! You had difficult time at the beginning, but you managed to win anyway. Wish you luck for the rest of the tournament.
I just started watching you a few days ago cus I love chess and now im following your series of victory.
Also I found out that you can speak excellent swedish sooooooooooooo...
Hej hej hoppas att du vinner och snyggt jobbat med denna vinst. Du är väldigt fantastisk och du gör så roliga videos att kolla på. Heja!
Another great recap! I think you're right: by you hanging in there and pressuring him with good ideas, he was bound to make a blunder of some kind that you could capitalize on. Congratulations!
" my brain feels like a frog, no a swan, sponge" - Anna Cramling 2023
Excellent game! I watched it live. Honestly you should be proud of yourself. 😊
Anna, your analysis is not just fun to watch [your personality makes it so] but useful for we mere mortal chess players to see how to improve our games! Thanks.
Good luck in the tournament!
Hey Anna, Goodluck tomorrow! Thank you for your enthusiasm and great explanations!! The chess community is lucky to have you!
His last move showed a good sense of humor.
and in the end he finally moved THE ROOOOOOOK
Ha ha!
GG, Get some rest and good luck
I love watching Anna's end game
That ending was Awesome- he totally thought he made the king move supreme 😅. Oh that had to hurt - A+ way UP! Nice game 😎✅
What a brilliant video!!!
Loved seeing a local British player facing a word famous steamer. Kevin you played a great game. Ana, your enthusiasm is infectious, a real credit to chess.
Good luck in the rest of the tournament.
Anna, you scared me….congrats on the comeback win. Good luck tomorrow!!
I start the video, I see Anna's smile, and it makes me smile. Good stuff.
The overall understanding I have gleaned from your Reykjavik reports is that Chess is not just a game of skill, study, planning, and evaluation, but as important are the emotions and attitudes/psychology. I'm starting to understand better why Bobby Fischer was able to gain advantages against his opponents before the matches began (as an example). And I am starting to understand how fascinating the "off the table" aspects of Chess can be. Thanks, Anna!
I believe against d6, as a 2000+ player you should consider d4 and then e4, let them play a Pirc or a Modern (or a Philidor) and try to squeeze them with the classical lines (Nc3, Nf3, Be2, 0-0,(Bc4 against the Philidor), h3, a4), otherwise, you give your opponent an easier, more comfortable game, like what you saw in this game.
Mr Winter is a top g
Anna, as a former tournament player. Anyone who plays constantly in tournaments gets used to the pressure and if they come prepared we are dangerous to people who are stronger but don't have the tournament play. There is no accounting for the pressure of match play.
I peaked at a rating of 1724 in the early mid 90s but beat an expert and a master at the 1993 US Open because I was prepared and handled the pressure well. Won class a b prize.
He didn't even take a nap.
