This video is adorable in many ways. Always fun seeing Anna, Andrea and Alex together. Had me asking myself, how is Anna ahead on time? Then remembered she's playing against Andrea who can burn up time just as well.
Wait this is SUCH a good concept. And there's so many ways to change it up a little! Maybe you can't hit the timer until you've finished answering the question so it's always your time, or you could ask questions with a definite answer and they can't hit the timer until they get it right, all sorts of things!
andrea's meaning of life answer is essentially existential nihilism. what people popularly think of nihilism (nothing has value so fuck it) is a trap that nietzsche warned people not to fall into. you are supposed to, once you accept there is no inherent value in anything, define value in the world for yourself. so acknowledging there is no meaning and rebelling against that by creating meaning in the little things she finds joy in is exactly what a nihilist is supposed to do. nihilism is freeing yourself from having meaning forced upon you and creating your own meaning.
Rather than go through those mental gymnastics, just accept that you were born a sinner and every good thing you do is a small act of redemption for your soul.
Andrea's meaning of life answer is much closer to Camus' existentialism. Rebelling against meaningless by finding happiness anyway. Imagining Sisyphus happy.
yea i don't understand why folks find existential nihilism "sad" or "unnecessary"... how can you have real agency (aka free will) if you don't exercise it right from fundamentals? if your foundational beliefs and definitions are just borrowed from elsewhere with little introspection or inquiry... are you even an individual person? imo, all that teenage angst is supposed to crystalise into an adulthood where a strong sense of personhood is formed. that process requires "trying out" various definitions for the meaning of life, see which one feels good, deconstruct it a little, make a buncha mistakes etc. at some point, the teenager realises their own true values and principles, having taken some meaning from elsewhere and discarded the others that did not work. the REAL sadness... is that the false promises of captitalism: financial "freedom", consumer culture, FOMO, while saddled with long work hours in mindless jobs, rent, debt, etc... all takes away time from people, so they can't even have the freedom to think for themselves what life means.
I always get the feeling that Andrea thinks too low of herself. She comes across to me as a very genuine person and I love her for that, and feel the same way about Anna and Alex as well. I enjoy witnessing your friendship with them.
OMG, that was amazing! I need more of this with a longer timer. It almost felt like watching Grubby play Direct Strike. Thank you, Anna, for this deep conversation! I imagine your older self would also advise you to be less shy and remember that you are truly amazing-it would help you a lot.
A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this
American girls are known to make up the most outrageous nonsense, without shame, and then claim sarcasm when challenged. Ignoring it was the better move.
2:00 Quite honestly, both of you could start your own talk show and play chess at the same time, although you don't need to have the timer on. Seriously, you can make a big hit on TV. Allie would be a must on the show. People are starving for the younger generations viewpoint....😊
So, recycle all the cans and bottles that have CRV for compensation at your local dispensary once you have enough for the latest buzz! (I lived that life once.)
And then you hear a french chick and a dude rattling off numbers... yea, screw that, id rather have a blanket or like a thousand rocks to write a message to planes
2:40 this is very applicable to w but not so much to m. A m should be in touch with his emotions but not drown in them, while a w may live in her emotions all day long
I just used the cow opening for the first time today and won. And when I got excited about using it everyone looked at me like i was absolutely insane 😅
I used an example of Dina's poise in a Dharma discussion yesterday...she has to deal with a lot of confusion men have when they play her...what are they expecting? So forth...
Me before the video: Hey, a nice little match between my favorite chess players, this will be fun! Me during the match: 🤔💭 ... well, until that part 7:38

Andrea is banned from playing the London opening
Why?
Acting, lying is acceptable. A liar situation, a liar vs a liar lying is acceptable?
Magnus plays it regularly. Irrelevant
@@islemamraniyt because she didn't know what is the capital of the UK, while the opening she knows is ... The London
@@islemamraniyt because she doesn't even know the capital of England

8:41 Anna missing mate in 1.
Really lovely when Anna says spanish Words like "Madrid" or "paella 🥘"
7:13 Andrea missed a nice tactic Bxe4, Nxe4, Qd5+ fork
Correct
Nice catch...I was distracted from some "unknown reason" : )

up
Andrea is always honest and that actually means she respects the audience
I love ppl like her for life. I don't want anyone else
I love that vibe at 7:40.
-Andrea, when's the last time you peed your pants?
-Maybe like week and a half ago.
-Anna, what's your favourite food?
she says it so casually i didn't even register at first. 1min later i'm like "wait WHAT?"

9:52 Can never be too careful "so you resign? :)
I love Anna and Andrea’s friendship
You can't have happiness without hap, ...or a the rest of the word minus the hap
It is probably fragile since their core values are so far apart.
The secret to happiness is being bitten by a radioactive Anna
I like your thinking
The meaning of life is obviously 42.
Damn I just lost
@@ric.e214 42nd like woop
Ah the classic conundrum: Do I want to look stupid or sound stupid. Well played both of you!

Genius
I loved this format girls
Brilliant xxxx
7:14 Andrea can take a bishop, then knight takes back, but then Andrea have check with a fork from a queen winning the knight.
She doesn't have any survival skills, she wasn't even thinking of bringing a chess board.
Just a phone, sun screen and a book.
9:49 Anna cold blooded :D also Andrea is such a sweetheart and Alex, the alien abduction question sent me laughing :D:D very clever

love this. tbh my favorite moment is probably 4:30 just 'cause of everyone's reactions to Anna saying "sun lotion" 😂 thanks for the video, Anna!
fishing rod
flint (rock to start fires)
tent (so i don't get mosquito bites)
Alex giving the stare behind a smiling Anna is meme material 6:52 😂
Question for Anna: what's your favourite food
Question for Andrea: what's the mining of life
Mining? Not meaning but mining?
Fun fact: the girl with the smirk at the fire was at a fire demonstration. The house was built for training firefighters.
Don't burn btw
What is btw?
By the way
@@Quantum_Eneoxythanks
"I may not be the best chess player but I can perform under pressure" -Andrea
Rebel against the meaninglessness of life? That’s Camus in a nutshell.
Exactly. I also commented that it sounds like Kierkegaard's and Camus' absurdism.
A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this
Has Andrea read Camus? That sounded like a Camus answer on the meaning of life.
The casualness in which she said she peed her pants two wks ago was astounding. (and the lack of reaction to it too - wow, Anna, not shocked by much?)
American girls are known to make up the most outrageous nonsense, without shame, and then claim sarcasm when challenged. Ignoring it was the better move.
They're good friends and it's Andrea so she probably already heard about it before this
not knowing the capital of England is some new level crazy

Meaning of life is to find out where we are and where we are going, and why we are here.
Awesome painting on the wall! Kramer's my favourite character in all media.
Please post more videos like this i loved the questions
I really like that! They should make more videos like that, maybe cooking a Wellington or crème brûlée while playing chess.

Great video wish it was longer. Great

"what is the meaning of life" xDDDD
Enjoyed the questions and the answers. Going to have to read "The Creative Act". Thank you for some good content.
This is a good format. Would be interesting to see other popular players do something similar
How fun! I hope they did a rematch!
2:58 yo i did not expect andrea to be actually versed in philosophical nihilism wtf?
Sounds closer to Albert Camus philosophy
"there is no meaning in life"😭I hope that wasn't her real answer
well you left out the most important part
@@vroxer21 The meaning in life is to get to know God, not to do what you like to do or what makes you happy necessary like she says
I like how every time Andrea says she has a good position she ends up making a small inaccuracy 😂
The View + Chess is the future of talkback radio
These players takes each other interview all the time, content to the power content.
So, recycle all the cans and bottles that have CRV for compensation at your local dispensary once you have enough for the latest buzz! (I lived that life once.)
You missed checkmate at 8:35.. queen to F2
😂
Andrea gave a beautiful answer for the meaning of life without objective meaning. Shes a bit of a philosopher ngl
Andrea is so nice for letting everyone else win...

This was hilarious. Thanks ladies
Y’all are amazing!
dayyum Andrea is a philosopher
The meaning of life is 42. Any other answer is unacceptable..
Andrea's been in at the Camus
It's getting very emotional right now
the meaning of life is to find the meaning
2:40 this is very applicable to w but not so much to m. A m should be in touch with his emotions but not drown in them, while a w may live in her emotions all day long
Andrea is playing against a snake? Oh wait that's Anna
I just used the cow opening for the first time today and won. And when I got excited about using it everyone looked at me like i was absolutely insane 😅
You always find a way to make chess more fun and interesting. Chess Princess
3:02 damn, I love her answe, especially since I thought the exact same thing and then she spoke it out :D
6:48 omg, that's true 🤣🤣🤣
Happiness is spending 10 minutes with Anna.
For the Island question, gotta bring Starlink!
Right because it’s powered by hopes and dreams
True goddess vibes, love it.
At the same time
Andrea was so winning, but was less confident ...so she ended up losing.
I used an example of Dina's poise in a Dharma discussion yesterday...she has to deal with a lot of confusion men have when they play her...what are they expecting? So forth...
Wine, bread and a car door. Needs of a I
How do you miss that mate in 1 Anna? 😂
8:13 Alex: what's the Capital of England?
Andrea: Iiiii don't know.
8:27 Andrea: what's the capital of London,... of England? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Andrea and Alexandra are basically named the same name. The Andrea sisters 😅
With more time Anna would have answered Mia Mulder to rep Sweden
Me before the video: Hey, a nice little match between my favorite chess players, this will be fun!
Me during the match:
🤔💭
... well, until that part 7:38
The capital of London is L.
I'm telling you gals - youtube "Nature's Way" You would cry.The singer died saving his son while he drowned.
Yes!!! I wore that whole album out in the early '70s living the life of a 'ski bum' in Colorado.
Why is the table so low! That would drive me nuts.
That was fun but scary!
The chess content we need back 😭
i think Andrea is a absurdist
aww I like Andrea, I saw her when she was boxing lol
Happens is freedom 💚
[5.40] Anna: Well, 32 is still a great age.
I mean, look at Andrea. Doesn’t look so bad at 37? 😂
Each time Anna says something it seems like she has 500 IQ
