      exactly !!! this is exactly what I love harmonious energy, and just humbleness. Which is the best. Absolutely f*** people like that kid who Anna played some months ago in one of the usual places. The things he said it’s not hustling it’s being a complete asshole, as it’s absolutely not necessary.
      I was so glad that at the end they played another game, which we will see soon.
      Also I wish Anna could have reversed taking the bishop so that he could have played his line. But later it was cute and funny that he thought for a bit that he might have blundered. Even after Anna gave a check with her queen, he knew it was a bad move just didn’t right away know the best response.
      I hope you could play him more !!!

    5 months after this video: "Nine-year-old CM Ethan Pang, the youngest-ever 2200 player, defeated three grandmasters in a recent classical tournament in Hungary and came close to breaking the 2300 rating barrier for the first time.
    Pang, who made headlines in July when he broke IM-elect Faustino Oro's record to become the youngest player in chess history to achieve a rating of 2200, scored a remarkable performance at the Vezerkepzo IM tournament that ended last week in Budapest, Hungary."

    He is really brilliant, maybe he missed an opportunity where he could check the king with the knight and take the queen for free.

    Chess is like marriage. The queen does all the hard work and sometimes sacrifices itself, while the king doesn't do much, but he's obviously the most important.

  • @privatename3621
    @privatename3621 7 месяцев назад

    I'm confused. At 3:58, why didn't Anna just play Nd7. That would threaten his queen and preventing his Nd6 move. His queen can then not take the pawn because it could be captured by either Anna's bishop or the king. This move would also provide cover long enough for Anna to slide her king over to d8. Then if he does play his Nd6 move, her pawn would capture it. Maybe I'm not thinking enough moves ahead, but seem like the obvious move to me (but I'm also not a 1200 rated player - much lower)
