An opening in chess is only brought about by the response of the other persons moves. Starting off with white and doing those moves just for the sake of moving into that position makes no sense. First white makes a move then Black and so on, each moving in turn to the response of the last move. Improvements are found over time to the persons last move and so on. What is considered the opening in chess? The opening in chess refers to the first several moves of the game. "Book" chess openings refer to common sequences of moves that have been studied and are generally well-known by professionals. Many such lines are well documented in authoritative references like The encyclopedia of Chess Openings (ECO) and others You cannot just make up an opening just for the sake of it and call it what you like. It has to be played at top level chess in general and played for a reason, i.e a sequences of moves. The sequence of moves are played for a reason and again not just for the sake of it and calling it what you like. Hell if that were the case all of the people playing chess could make up a name and call it what they like.... It has to make sense.. I think my sweet you might have mad cows disease. RANT OVER.
Your dad is so cool. He scored an easy win, spending almost no time thinking and still finding the time to throw in some educational content, like explaining that he was exchanging his bad bishop for the opponent's good bishop, or how to make the opponent lose a few seconds by repeating moves.
I love how Anna's dad looks excited and amused to finally play it and her mom has the look of "I can't believe I actually have to play this and I have no clue why either of you find this so amusing to begin with. " 🤨🤔😑🤣😂🤣
Well she said before that her mum is positional whilst her dad is tactical, so it makes perfect sense. Her mum is frustrated by the terrible position but her dad is excited at the possibility of weird tactics!
The term "Cramling Opening" already gives the result on Google with the link to Annas RUclips "Cow Opening". I am afraid that Pia has soon to change her last name.
Its just lost much control of the center wich its basic rules of book of chess also it block the development of the Queen and the 2 bishops as soon as posible, Meanwhile Master Pia Cramling play D4 to free her pieces and not have her pieces passives to get the initiative of her game its obvios she just dont like it and be Associated with this opening, she suffering to much, obviously dont want her Lastname on it because for human eyes look very bad meanwhile computer say its more less equal.
Your Mom absolutely roasting the Cow will never get old!! Every time you even mention the opening your Mom serves up a big helping of Roast Beef! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a dad, you should encourage them to try and find new things even if they don't necessarily work properly. But letting kids explore and have fun is important. So he is a good dad.
@Snoken127 what?? She's like 20 years old. They all know the opening objectively sucks, they're just joking around together and having fun. Why are you infantalizing an adult and implying a 2100 fide rated player doesn't understand how shit the cow is
holy shit, im terrible at chess compared to your parents, but this waiting move to decrease the opponents time is briliant. ive never thought about this before
Same here! Even though we see people do this in time trouble all the time, the way he made it automatically, unnecessarily, just-because-it-was-there, was eye-opening. For whatever reason this really left an impression with me, and I hope to remember trick in my own games. Thank you for the lesson, GM Lopez!
I've been playing the cow opening in my games and it's put me on the largest winning streak. To me the spirit of the cow opening is making chess fun. I start thinking about chess much differently this way and it's affecting my play in a positive way. I think the opening is also really good for beginners because it's easy to keep your pieces defended and not have anything hanging up to mid game. It's really helped me work on my fundamentals. It also confuses beginners who are spending too much time memorizing openings and not enough time working on their fundamentals so you will often find with the cow opening that they will blunder before you do since it throws off their plan.
Watching you, Anna, interacting with your parents is so precious. This is easily one of my favorite videos you have done. I want more with the three of you. This was fabulous.
You’re like an equal split of your mum and dad, it’s cute. You’ve got your dad’s enthusiasm and passion for life but your mum’s sweetness and gentleness. You’re such a wonderful family. Is your chess game the same, half your mum and half your dad?
Her chess is actually half her mom and dad! But she has the weakness of both lol. Her dad goes for insane tactics often, and sometimes they don’t go as planned, and that’s something Anna does a lot, wanting excitement. And Pia is slow but she’s still very good, but Anna also had the issues of getting into insane time trouble all the time lol. So she kinda got the weakness of both😂
Anna we saw your interview on The Wild Project podcast, amazing interview and what a stunning difference to hear you in Spanish. Nice video btw long life to y'all and cheers from here
Words can't describe how much fun that was to watch. Love you and your family. You'll see, one day at the World Chess Championship someone will open with the "COW" . Chess Princess
It’s always so cute to see XD Anna’s super introvert parents looking at her with pure love “ how did we create such a beautiful, extravert, Grandmaster”
Pia @8:15 That laugh was so on point I mean we all understood what she meant with that~ “you wasted two moves so that the knight could go back to the exact same square”
What is wonderful about this upload is for me not the chess but the sheer pleasure of the family. It is so obvious that the parents raised this young woman to be kind and caring and it is equally obvious how much she appreciates and reciprocates their love. Just an amusing and engaging video. Many thanks
I love to see your Dad picking up a piece and hovering it over squares while he thinks through his moves. Luckily he's not like me where I mistakenly drop the piece before I'm ready... but it's great to see the thought process. Can't believe he only used 13 seconds!!!
Anna, please don't feel jealous. Whenever I look at your mother's face, I see a lot of inspiration and contentment in her expressions. I'm not very good at describing things, but just look at her beautiful smile. At the same time, I also appreciate your enthusiasm and positivity. You have inherited the happy personalities of your parents, and it shows in your videos. Thank you for spreading joy through your content. And... and... I love your dad's smile. Ok.. Ok.. I love all of you equally.
As a new subscriber who is recently taking an interest in chess. This video was great. It is also the first upload I’ve actually managed to catch that wasn’t a few months old. Lol
What a nice crowd you have here on YT. Really funny, intelligent an nice comments - not that common on YT. You did something great, Anna. We reap what you sow. Your parents seem so amazing. No wonder they raised such a powerful and resourceful woman. I enjoy really your content and the positive energy you transmit. Call me a fan 🥰
Pia is adorable, sassy, and brilliant, now we know where Anna gets it from. GM Mom, Dad, and Daughter laughing and enjoying Chess together is heartwarmingly wholesome. Anna needs to marry a GM and give her parents GM grandbabies.
Normal girl scandalizing her parents: Gets a tattoo or hangs out with the wrong crowd.
Anna scandalizing her parents: Invents the Cow Opening.
She's a rebel with a Cow's.
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc you genious. Have my like.
Amazing comment@@davidanderson_surrey_bc
🤣
@@karlwithak. Seconded, that is hilarious
Anna and her family are the most wholesome thing I’ve ever seen. Her enthusiasm is pure and contagious. Even Pia's skepticism is somehow endearing.
Right! Its make you happy jut watching them!
honestly such a heartwarming family, im always smiling when they are together in a video, from start to end
This was actually fun to watch.
100% agree ❤
Endearing? Crikey, a bit 'full on', morelike. Mind you, a little humility was never any chess player's strength.
"He got to 1600, playing the cow!"
Mom: Imagine where he would be if he played something else.. 💀
Too good
pia is just constantly checkmating anna xD
that was so fucking funny! 😂
lo que me reí con eso jajajaaj que genia pia

"Imagine if he had played somethin else"
Omg I didnt know Pia was also a GM at roasting. I love her
Hahaha
Best laugh of the year
And the higher ranked one (and actually the stronger one) between this two.
Anna came up with The Cow Opening to test her mother's love. 😂
I hardcore love this opening and the reasons why were on-display in this game.
Nothing was on-diplay in this game. A grandmaster would win with any opening against a 1800 player @@valeriekeefe8898
And succceded spectacularly
By hearimg her mom talk one would get the impression she is Magnus Carlsen, instead of some GM I've never heard of.
Almost got disowned
Your dad is so cool. He scored an easy win, spending almost no time thinking and still finding the time to throw in some educational content, like explaining that he was exchanging his bad bishop for the opponent's good bishop, or how to make the opponent lose a few seconds by repeating moves.
Your parents are like two people who have beaten the game and taking a side-quest fully geared.
So true 😂
Pia as soon as Anna says "the Cramling opening" gives her the "Say that again and I'll kill you" smile
LOL more like this; "Say that again, and I'll disinherit you".
"You were given my name, but I can as well take it away if you won't respect it" face.
"Yeah, very impressive... imagine he played something else." - Pia is just amazing xD
I wanna have a conversation with you❤️
I literally laughed a little when she said that. It caught me off-guard
So annoying. Just play and stop complaining. Stockfish says it's fine.
@@DrinkWater713stopfish doesn't like that shit opening 5:05 it's advantage for black look at the bar
@@Mukk-muk It's 0.3 advantage, so, still fine

Pia is the most hardcore chessplayer of the family. Really does not fuck around when it comes to chess.
she is locked in 😂 @@Sangsstuff
Usually the mother is the one to be supportive and the dad the grouch. Her dad is awesome. Her mom, "not so much."

pia is savage when it comes to the cow opening 😂

Love that he wanted more time on the clock by checking twice, best gm trolling 😋
That I didn't get this by watching it the first time tells you something about my chess-level ^^
Ill change my last name 😂😂😂😂😂 got me dying here 😂😂😂 i love this family so much
Did you see how her father reacted when Pia said that: omg!!.....lol
Dad is always positive and supporting
You know Pia doesn't like it when, instead of calling a move "funny" , she straight up calls it bad and proceeds to roast every chance she gets 🤣
I wanna have a conversation with you❤️
Anna's family is actually so wholesome
Your Mom absolutely roasting the Cow will never get old!! Every time you even mention the opening your Mom serves up a big helping of Roast Beef! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Roast Beef and Cowradish Sauce!!!
In the best Swedish style
Dad: "It's a fantastic opening, yes." I thought, he just made her day! But then I realized Dad just made her life. ❤
He was joking lol
he's also a GM pwning a random 1800 with her daughter's chess account xD
As a dad, you should encourage them to try and find new things even if they don't necessarily work properly. But letting kids explore and have fun is important. So he is a good dad.

@@reesthomas8467 Chill, mr white knight.
Such a lovely family..........warms my heart to watch them together.
Puts me in the holiday spirit.
pia was ready to change her name .That escalated quickly
Lmao
Then Anna would just have to rename the opening again.
@@James--Parkerhaha I laughed way too hard for that

It's very common in classical time control where you get a lot more time added to the clock every move
Anna's dad is ready to try anything and have fun with it. Maybe not against other GMs and IMs, but it's fine at the 2000 level.
In my (very limited) experience, a GM could beat a 1800 from a Q down.
I know because I was the unlucky 1800 on the recieving end of the challenge
@@bodyzergcasting But you're still a good chess player! ;)
Love Dad's ruthlessness and Mom's motherly honesty lol. Dad even understood threw in the I'm so good I must be cheating meme 😂😂😂 Great content!
somewhere, a kramnik woke up
Their smiles at the beginning are the best, when your child is following in your footsteps but questionably hahaha
Pia: "I'd change my last name" 🤣
What a great family! I loved Juan's reaction after the game. He played really quickly too. Impressive stuff!
It’s nice that your parents are willing to humour your silliness .
Merry Christmas
Loved this, more videos with Dad please!
One of my favorite videos ever. Never laughed so much. Your Dad is my idol and love your Mom's sense of humor. TREMEDOUS! Bravo!
7:02 Pia's absolutely brutal

@12:45 - flicking in the repetition to gain a few seconds is stone cold savage.
Is it a draw if you repeat to many times?
@@Akuvision2011 Yes
Watching you, Anna, interacting with your parents is so precious. This is easily one of my favorite videos you have done. I want more with the three of you. This was fabulous.
AMAZING now he looks healthier. HOW happy that makes me (I am literally crying).
'A BOSS that I had { SAID *} that LITERALLY means that is "superficial" ' Your FATHER will get it with JesusChrist (Jah) HELP.
These whole family videos are so sweet, fun and joyful!!
When her dad did a move to win 3 seconds 💀 I’ll never reach that level

It’s always so cute to see XD Anna’s super introvert parents looking at her with pure love “ how did we create such a beautiful, extravert, Grandmaster”
11:00 hahah 😂 the dad being too prideful to accept help and Anna telling her she can speak

Thanks! Nice to see your family. It's nice to see them support your RUclips channel.
I love it when the parents are on stream, they are all so fun together
GM Pia's reaction to the cow is to most "mom" thing I have seen
Maybe yours. My mom would support an opening I created.
“Maybe call it the Bellon opening”😂
That's how it is, dad's always supporting their daughters. I am ine of them. Bravo 👏
Muchas felicidades Anna por la familia que tienes. Todos ustedes trasmiten mucha felicidad e inteligencia. Un saludo desde Gran Canaria
Your parents are just humoring you, they are the best parents in the world.
"Imagine if he had played something else." HILARIOUS
OK . Your father is improving at chess. Next teach him the bong cloud.
I love to see your Dad picking up a piece and hovering it over squares while he thinks through his moves. Luckily he's not like me where I mistakenly drop the piece before I'm ready... but it's great to see the thought process. Can't believe he only used 13 seconds!!!
"no, no, no I change my last name" gotta love her mom 😆
If you get your mom to approve of the Cow Opening, it would be a lifetimes achievement.
I wanna have a conversation with you ❤️
Your parents are pure gold Anna, thanks for the great video
GM Lopez' willingness to give the opening a shot, and Anna excitement every time he says something good about it
This is the real feel good content
*Mom: "Yes, 'Anna' is perfect"* She's right.
I like your Dad. He saw It as a challenge and jumped right In.
You relationship with your parents is so sweet!
Loved when he repeated to get a few extra seconds on the clock 😂

In 100 years from now, the world will praise the Cow as the greatest opening in chess history. 99 years to go.
I played it once and won, but at my level, any opening that doesn't blunder material will do fine.
What a lovely wholesome family they are. I love to see it

Anna: Mom, which Knight do you want to put in a beautiful square? Mom: Knight back to g1 lol
0:46 😂 Pia's answer
When Pia responds with "it was -22" when Anna tries backing up her opening by telling her mom "it's only -3", pretty funny stuff
- Mom, what you would have done if I called this "the Cramling Opening"?
- I'll change my last name
bruh💀
When he did his little trick to win 3 seconds 😂😂😂
Gains a few seconds and throws off the opponent's plan. Subtle genius! 😂
Me ha sorprendido tanto ver que tu padre es de mi país, España. Todos dais una muy buena vibra
