Sorry for the audio issues between min 3 and 4! Something went wrong but the rest of the video should be fine. Thanks for watching and rooting for me!!!! 🙏
some info: those are ñanduti earrings! (ñanduti being a traditional paraguayan embroidery technique), honestly one of the coolest gifts ever. Saludos! 🇵🇾
I think it was Judit Polgar (or one of the Polgar sisters) who said: "Win with grace, lose with dignity." ... Anna shows us the best possible sportsmanship in chess.
you are awesome, i basically started playing chess 3 weeks ago because of some vids from you popping randomly in my yt and now i feel i need to play chess :D
Dear Anna, thanks for being a favourite chess role-model of mine. You inspire me to not only play chess better but encourage me to encourage others to play chess, and better chess, too. It's not easy having victory slip through our fingers when you lose (see what I did there, haha) but I'm always impressed with how you handle the bruises from a loss with humility and grace. I hope you burst out laughing about this game soon and continue to grow into the strongest most competent chess player you can possibly be, each and every day. Every day we can improve! Every day I practice tactics. -- I think you're playing awesome in the Olympiad and coping with the pressure of the responsibility like a boss! It makes me proud to see you pull on the Swedish hoodie and represent your nation, win or lose, it's a massive honour to bear the name and wave the flag of Sweden on a global chess stage. Imagine how young, Anna, would feel, well, she's still there inside of you, obviously, laughs! Let us never be scared of failing. We prep, we test, and we enjoy the playing!. And it's good to play against a worthy opponent, a close fights a good fight, and ratings as we've seen aren't guranteed to be reliable, especially, when people play from countries with fewer opportunties to gain rating points in chess tournaments than others possibly. I hope you keep winning. Keep losing in style, and keep kicking butt. After all, how are we going to bring our best chess to the board, but by allowng and giving ourselves permission and the safety and the security to risk losing, so that we can win greater, grander, more savage victories in the furture. It's fair trade! Let us treat hardship as discipline. Let us grow in adversity. Let us stand tall with our shoulders back ready for battle, ready to conquer. Because every loss, builds up anticipation for our next glorious victory on the black and white board of 64 squares. Go Anna!!, go get that win for team, Sweden!!! Make your parents proud!!! Be well, friend!!! Moss
Great commentary! What I learned from this game is that in a sharp position, a single bad move can cost the game. But in this game, it's several less-than-best moves, going from mostly clear win, to big edge, to small edge, to almost losing, to dead lost. Give the opponent hard choices, where the best practical moves are hard to find and burn opponent's clock time. Wait, that's what black did. And she did it so well.
Great recap. Chess is hard. Not only do you have to make good moves, but the good sequence of moves as well as all the other things. We were so much hoping for a knight and bishop checkmate attempt by your opponent. To answer your question, "No, I do not know how to make a knight and bishop checkmate." I'm glad that you had a chance to sight see a bit of the beautiful places you visit when traveling for chess. P.S. Cute earrings (nice of your opponent Paula to give you the gift). Good luck Sweden!
Because I had made it such a priority when I was young, I have played the B+N endgame so many times online deliberately "for fun" (Older Life Master USCF 2243) and taught others how to play this. I had an 11 year-old genius student wherein she "insisted" on learning this endgame because she had heard so much about it from others ... and in a 3-hour lesson she had learned it(!) ... including what I call the the "19-move W knight pattern" (aggressive King pinning down the enemy king in the "wrong" corner and knight on f2/f7/c2/c7 depending on which corner) and the W pattern for corralling the enemy king ... even with the aggressive king on the edge of the board with the enemy king helping to pin down the aggressive king(!). :) I hope your Swedish team (including your GM Mom Pia?) finishes well against Bangladesh Anna! :)
This was a very interesting game with difficult to see good moves in the mid-game. Paula played awesome and your analysis was educational as always. Best of luck in the rest of the tournament. We are rooting for you
Hi Anna. You asked, "Do you know how to checkmate with King, Knight & Bishop vs King?" Yes 🙂 I've never had it in an over the board game, but decided to learn it the first time I had it in a game against my chess programme. What I've found is that the king tries to go the corner that has the opposite colour to my bishop, because it can never be checkmated there. There's a certain position I find I need to get my knight in(d4, d5, e4 or e5), to deliver check when the king is in the 'wrong' corner and then it's coordinating the pieces to drive the king to the other corner along the edge of the board where my bishop eventually delivers checkmate. There is one aspect I haven't mastered yet and that's when the king can escape from the edge of the board and I have to drive it back to the edge. My chess programmes always keeps the king on the edge of the board, which I think makes it easier. Good luck for your next game!! Looking forward to seeing what defence to White's opening you adopt!
I got a bad feeling when GM Hammer told us that the Paraguayans were over-performing. But at least it was a good result for Sweden. Good luck tomorrow!
Anna, win or lose I still think you're doing a great job and it has been really interesting following your progress in this tournament. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you and best of luck for your next game 😃
As a beginner my biggest struggle is the endgame. In a game where I had more pieces than my opponent, I lost on time because I couldn't checkmate with a knight and bishop.
Riveted with every minute of this game yesterday. Watched every minute.... Could not get back to my work. So bad. Bad Bad Bad. But the guy talking through the options was amazing. Honestly embarrassing that I don't remember his name. The Hammer or something like that? He was all over Paula moving knight to g-4 and then coordinating with the white bishop. You were so vulnerable all through the middle game. Wow. Every minute. What a game! Whooo Weee! You are a superstar. 🤩
I have played about 100 rated tournaments with classical time control and maybe the same amount of blitz and rapid tournaments. Never ever did I have a bishop and knight endgame or was nearing one. I won''t invest any time in learning this.
Yes, so many games Anna plays where she ends up in a time problem. It seems to me that spending too long looking for the best move often causes a loss through time pressure. May have been better to move more quickly even if it is only s good move as a result and not the best move!
Forgive me if I'm wrong here, I'm no chess competitor, but looking at that position, when she moved her King to g7, could you not have just pushed your pawn runner to c6, if she checked your King on light squares, move down staying within the box to catch her pawn, staying on the dark square matrix, you should be able to catch it. But more importantly, I can't see a way for her to both try block your advancement on c1, whilst preventing your King from stopping your king from reaching and blocking her pawn. Again, forgive me if I'm not seeing something, am just trying to learn from watching all your vids and others online. I tried putting the position in a board versus Stockfish 3, and could get a draw, but that's only garbage machine algorithms, so don't know if it's possible to force a draw or even get your promotion somehow. Just keen to learn.... So much to learn. Thank you for the recap and a brilliant Olympiad so far. Heia Sverige!
The earrings look great on you! Even World Champions have lost won games, and Tigran Petrosian (yes, Iron Tigran) overlooked a mate in one in the first game of a Candidates Match against his enemy, Viktor (The Terrible) Korchnoi. So, you played like a Champion! Best wishes for the last few rounds.
Son aros de Ñandutí (en guaraní, tela de araña) es un encaje de agujas que se teje sobre bastidores en círculos radiales, bordando motivos geométricos o zoomorfos, que imita el diseño de la telaraña. Que lindo detalle!. Gran juego
Regarding knight and bishop endgames I have no clue how to force checkmate and I've managed to swindle a draw from a lost position by assuming my opponent doesn't know how to do it either more than once!
Yesterday was in another game in the women section a B+N endgame. She won after 53 moves, but only because the opponent didn't call the draw. I tried once the B+N Endgame vs Stockfish with 1 minute and I succeeded. But of course it's something different doing it at home against a computer than in a tournament.
From Indiana, USA This will be surprising to you, but I watch your videos and I don't know how to play chess! I would love to learn how to play. You make it seem so easy. I love watching! Thank you for sharing and I Love seeing your MOM as well. Love ya
After Bxb7 time for white to resign but amazingly black didn't just play h6 and bring out the knight, tried to mate which was needlessly complicated. White was in fact in a mating net but black either didn't see it or just chickened out
So I have a little input from the military world - we have adaptive plans for when the enemy does something unexpected or a target of opportunity materializes, but we need a reason to change the plan. That way we don't have to say "I don't know why i decided to deviate." Always play the plan, or know why you didn't. Love you and your posts!
Playing Bangladesh for round 8. Anna and Pia have the black pieces. Anna's performance rating has been going south this tourney Hopefully she can turn it around. It will be interesting to see if Pia can destroy Walijah (although she did draw against a 2176 rated player) Pia Cramling (2425) vs Walijah Ahmed (1936) Inna Agrest (2197) vs Alo Nusrat Jahan (2033) Anna Cramling Bellon (2066) vs Ahmed Wadifa (1988) Margarita Zaritovskaja (2009) vs Rani Hamid (1900)
Such things happen, i had a similar game 40 years ago. My opponent was much lower rated then me and i thought i must only wait until he make mistakes... Very bad idea, he kicked my ass as i deserved it for such behavior. Was a great lesson for me, in game and in life....
I see some kind of rule here. You do a solid analysis of a plan and then you decide to deviate from it on a whim. Either because you think (without looking into the details) that it doesn't matter it because it of some kind of curiosity what might happen. However, I like this. 😊
I used to practice the night and bishop endgame and I was pretty good at it. But that was years ago. I don't know if I still could if I had to. The one time the situation came up was a few years ago, and I managed to win. But I don't think my opponent had ever practiced it.
Luck! Based on every game you "gave away", I strongly suggest you set strict time limits on every move. When you are rushed you are outstanding. Over thinking leads you around in circles. Best wishes! BTW my mother's side was Swedish!
I enjoy your video's very much even though i am not a chess player at all. I am an Engineer who has run many exiting projects in mining and marine construction and there is something wrong with my brain because i never could grasp thinking ahead in the game. Stupid thing is i can plan 2 years ahead when i am doing my projects and reach my targets. Would love to have your talent and enjoy the game of the gods. For now watching you and your mother's games will do, although i only understand maybe 33% of it.
Are the other Swedish players camera shy? If not, would love to hear a little bit from how they are experiencing the tournament so far, as part of the BTS. Otherwise great content! Love Hammer's commentary too.
I've practised checkmating with a knight and bishop a hundred times and I do know how it works (and I'm a 1700 like your opponent ;-) But I'm sure if it ever came up in a serious tournament game I'd be very nervous and maybe just blunder somehow :)
When I got to the point where I can tip my hat to a good game by my opponent chess became less frustrating and more enjoyable. Gotta learn, shrug it off and keep going😊
All I know is in a Knight and Bishop checkmate you're supposed to drive their king to a corner of the board with the color of your bishop, but I'm not for the life of me able to do it lol. Best I can do is two bishops hehe
i have no idea the theory of knight-bishop checkmating. im assuming that its extremely challenging in a long endgame and low time. im curious if i could do it though!
I know the ideas of the knight and bishop mate, and have practiced them against the computer a few times(successfully), but I am not great at doing the checkmate.

Budapest was originally TWO cities: Buda and Pest, separated by the Danube River.
It's actually 3. Buda, Pest and Óbuda(Aquincum).
@@ergocaustic3473 don't be a smartazz
I would say that Budapest wasn't called Buda pest pestilence since it's actually a Stanfort mega city built by a previous civilization
Because the Danube is blue
It makes me cry
I've been drunk in both

Most difficult thing is to loose and still behave like a winner! Well done!
"Probably could play a bit faster too". I believe. It will happen. It might take a while, but it will happen.
I know a strong player, > 2000, who's played chess for over 5 decades. He never learnt B+N endgames, and he's never had a B+N endgame.
50 years right
Nice game by both of you! Also Hammer smashed it behind the commentary mic.

True character comes after defeat. The way you handle and and respect your opponent in the analysis is a lesson much appreciated
glad you finally got to see Budapest and meet Judit. Its one of the pleasures of chess tournaments to meet people and see new places.
I got a bad feeling when GM Hammer told us that the Paraguayans were over-performing. But at least it was a good result for Sweden. Good luck tomorrow!
Even 300th know how to win with a knight and a bishop: You hope that the oponent resigns, runs out of time or that his internet connection fails 😂
to play chess is to have a continual lesson in humility
I really appreciate that you are very open with your wins and losses, because that happens with everyone of us! Kudos to you!
Anna, win or lose I still think you're doing a great job and it has been really interesting following your progress in this tournament. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you and best of luck for your next game 😃
As a beginner my biggest struggle is the endgame.
In a game where I had more pieces than my opponent, I lost on time because I couldn't checkmate with a knight and bishop.
B and N vs K is pretty easy after you learn the basic technique, good to practice it

From 0:57 to 1:19 it reminded me of the training montage in Rocky 🥊 including the sneeze 🤧
I'm so excited that you got to meet Judit Polgar. That would be so awesome - she looked amazing!
Thanks for the thorough explanation and kick arse tomorrow Anna, Pia, and team Sweden.
Lol that's what lack of time management gets you. I had that sinking feeling...

Thank you for the video! Good luck Anna and Team Sweden! 🙂
"I was panicking. My mind was going 'brrrrrrrrrrrt'... " EXACTLY how my mind responds after making the first blunder at move 5 !!!
Moving the king to h3 was the turning point instead of the middle of the board, as Hammar described.
I played a similar game today but I goofed earlier and was slaughtered by the opponent's queen. Sad day.
Good luck Sweden Chess Team! Good Luck Anna!
Me encantó el detalle de mi compatriota, es que tienes muchos seguidores aquí en Paraguay.
I know how to checkmate with knight and bishop. However, it is laborious.
It is so cute. When she sneezed at the beginning it was like a puppy sneezing. 😂😅

Very bad idea, he kicked my ass as i deserved it for such behavior.
Was a great lesson for me, in game and in life....
Although Black is only a candidate master she played very well ... I would have liked to see the endgame K vs K Bishop and Knight ...
I don't know how to checkmate with knight and bishop.
little did you know i have foreseen this scenario and actually learned how to do it years ago xD
Her opponent farmed her for a lot of rating. In that one game alone, she went back to almost 1900s.
I see some kind of rule here. You do a solid analysis of a plan and then you decide to deviate from it on a whim. Either because you think (without looking into the details) that it doesn't matter it because it of some kind of curiosity what might happen.

“I got a rest day” sounds almost exactly like “I got arrested.” Very different meanings.
She calculates so good, sometimes you can hear her thoughts too. 💛😂💛
Luck! Based on every game you "gave away", I strongly suggest you set strict time limits on every move. When you are rushed you are outstanding. Over thinking leads you around in circles. Best wishes! BTW my mother's side was Swedish!
1:15 Bless you, Anna!
Embarrassing defeat
Chreckmate with N & B. Yes. You do have to herd the K to a corner that the B moves on.
I enjoy your video's very much even though i am not a chess player at all. I am an Engineer who has run many exiting projects in mining and marine construction and there is something wrong with my brain because i never could grasp thinking ahead in the game. Stupid thing is i can plan 2 years ahead when i am doing my projects and reach my targets.
Would love to have your talent and enjoy the game of the gods.
For now watching you and your mother's games will do, although i only understand maybe 33% of it.
I could not checkmate with knight and bishop in a time pressure situation.
Are the other Swedish players camera shy? If not, would love to hear a little bit from how they are experiencing the tournament so far, as part of the BTS. Otherwise great content! Love Hammer's commentary too.
Your attitude is everything.
Good evening everyone 😅😊
Good morning😊🌞
Good luck for today Anna!! 🍀
Ya can't win 'em all Anna! (although it would be nice if we could).
The important thing is to learn something from each loss.
Good luck today!!
She must have 50,000 lessons by now 😂
girl ur so optimistic.ROLE MODEL!!!!!!
the gift is 2 ernnings with a ñandutí (yeah spanish is confiusing with Ñ)
*earrings
I was in a game where I had a King, a Bishop and a Knight to my opponent’s King and a Bishop. We had a draw after the 50 move rule,😢
Good luck, Anna!
I think the gift, which was very nice, could have been a little psychological and tactical at the same time. That's all I'm going to say :-)
I've read how to, but that was 20+ years ago and I seriously doubt I could Knight + Bishop mate.
I practised checkmate with N & B using my chess computer.
There is a definite method.
Thanks for posting Anna.
Good luck in your next game.
GO SWEDEN!! i think another lesson is never underestimate an opponent. i believe anyone is beatable on any day!
You’re awesome Anna!
I can with like 5+ minutes on the clock in classical with +30. I would need time to remember exactly and hope I don’t hit the 50 move rule
First rule of chess....get up and make your bed. You have great ears.
I've practised checkmating with a knight and bishop a hundred times and I do know how it works (and I'm a 1700 like your opponent ;-) But I'm sure if it ever came up in a serious tournament game I'd be very nervous and maybe just blunder somehow :)
i see your vedio regulerly since 6 months..take love from Bangladesh❤❤
Good Luck Anna - It's the journey not the destination : ) You got this.
When I got to the point where I can tip my hat to a good game by my opponent chess became less frustrating and more enjoyable. Gotta learn, shrug it off and keep going😊
All I know is in a Knight and Bishop checkmate you're supposed to drive their king to a corner of the board with the color of your bishop, but I'm not for the life of me able to do it lol. Best I can do is two bishops hehe
God bless you on that sneeze
Cuando leí de hacer lo imposible, pensé que habías ganado con una hora en el reloj, jajaja.
What a Chess Goddess this girl is!
i have no idea the theory of knight-bishop checkmating. im assuming that its extremely challenging in a long endgame and low time. im curious if i could do it though!
What was the impossible?
Loose from a 1700 - or so she thought, before the match...
Tomorrow you are going to win for sure! I really admire you and chess master mind! I know that you will dominate tomorrow! 😊
guess you would not have made that move with more time on the clock. so maybe this was more about time management then you think
I know the ideas of the knight and bishop mate, and have practiced them against the computer a few times(successfully), but I am not great at doing the checkmate.
I do not know the B+N checkmate. I once read a book by a FM who said he beat 6 GM's over the board before he learned it.
Good game Anna, you will can always try again next time ! : )
