@@yanick0839 The video is on Twitch. It has Pia's commantary for the whole game which was awesome and recap with Annan and Eric. Worth the watch! The only potential problem I can see is that Pia's commentary is so good that Pia could take lot's of Anna's viewers if she ever starts her own channel.
I love playing chess against bot and doing puzzle but as soon as I have to play against humans I completely fall apart, shacking, cold hand, heart pounding and everything. Whenever I lose I'm so mad at myself and I don't play anymore for weeks. Seeing you take the L graciously like that, even laughing about it and being able to analyze it is really inspiring. Well done.
Anna two videos ago: "I don't think it's a good idea to play tactics against stromger players because you don't see the position throug so well." Anna today: "So anyway I went for tactics."
Yes BUT a few points to counter that my friend. No.1 that was a couple of videos ago,so she may now feel that she's improved and is now a stronger player No.2 everyone is initialed to change their mind and I'm sure you know what they say about it being a woman's perogative to change their minds 😅 No.3 she may just have being trying to challenge herself by playing that way against a stronger opponent, we need to play against better opponents to improve No.4 She may have being trying to confuse him as they're friends, she may have figured that he knew her game and would've expected her to play that way No.5 She's Anna,so she often does wacky things with a great big smile on her face😅😅
No it’s not. On the contrary, usually chess players have tons of annoying “habits” to distract you and make you feel uncomfortable. With a fríend you Know you can relax and focus on the game. You do feel bad though if your friend blunders or has a bad day and plays worse that usual. It’s sometimes hard to actívate your killer instinct against a friend.
Just a quick tip Anna. When Eric almost made that blunder where you could fork his two rooks, you grabbed your pen and were ready to start writing the move. Don't ever do that! Eric saw that and then stopped his move and changed his mind. Stay calm if you see an advantage and just be quiet and don't move a finger!
I want to say something. You brought such a positive energy to this video that I thought "She must have won the game." Really appreciate how upbeat you are and that you have the right attitude. Thanks for "bringing it" every single video you make. Also... as a lowly 1600 player who has a fair number of high-level scalps... do NOT underestimate a 1600 player. They may have some kind of weakness in their play, but they aren't always going to drop a piece at move 20. Sometimes they'll play tough and give you a real scare. Don't underestimate us. I myself have knocked off an expert once and 1900 players multiple times in tournament length games, so don't assume we are easy targets. Take us seriously. And have fun. =)
The Trompowsky was named after Octavio Trompowsky, a Brazilian chess player. I went online and though 'Trompowsky' is pronounced in various ways in various dialects, the Portuguese (Brazilian) pronunciation seemed to be /trompovski/ or /tromposki/ from what I could find. So I feel like you were pronouncing it closer to right initially.
As a Slovenian I was told multiple times that I was pronouncing Pirc defence the wrong way because I said [pɪrts] instead of the americanized [pɜrk]. Like he was born 80km from where I was born, so shouldn't I know? ^^
That's because the name isn't Portuguese. The name itself came from Polish-Brazillian immigrants and is Polish. And if it still matter, yes, we would say trompovski/tromposki, very close to Anna's old pronunciation. But even he might have pronunced his name differently and Levy's pronunciation is just, well, English.
Love the style. Attacking dynamic chess! I'm the same, I do badly against solid positional players too. Always look for the active move. That one passive Bd3 handed initiative, then you're just swinging punches. Great lesson. Thanks for the content!
I'm a big Eric Rosen fan. I discovered Anna because of Eric's channel. What an amazingly small world that these two played over the board in an open tournament in Iceland.
Excellent commentary thanks Anna. Your mother's live commentary was amazingly good, please thank her as well! She gave a whole lot of detailed analysis all through the game explaining in simple terms just how a top grandmaster thinks. Her suggested moves checked out really well against the engine moves and explained them!
Anna, you are scary... I have never seen someone so enthusiastically explain such complex subjects like it is second nature. You are one of my favourite content creators overall
9:00 thank you Anna for this new word "atrocious". I'm also not an native english speaker (I'm german) and I learnt something new here :-). I like this word and I will use it in the future to describe my chess posotions :-). Btw. It is great that you was paired with Eric Rosen. Fantastic!
Love all of your videos. You have a great personality. Always entertaining! Congrats on gaining around 120,000 more subscribers in the last 6 weeks or so.
I liked the 0-0-0 idea for two reasons: your pawn structure dictates it, the opponent’s attack with the BB-pair was oriented toward your K-side… good game!
*”April’s Fool”* aha aw she’s so adorable 🥺🥺 Also, if “Trompowski” is Polish, then the proper pronunciation is rolling the “r”, the “o” is a soft “o” (like “posh”, and unlike “power”), and yes Anna is correct, the “w” makes the “f” sound. So in Polish it would be Trom-pof-ski. The Americanized pronunciations is Trom-POW-ski.
Ther is an Architect Edmund von Trompowsky, he was from Latvia. In general, it sounds like a name from the Eastern countries. So two o and f. But for an English speaker, "Pow" looks exactly like Levy pronounced it.
Always love you openness about matches I learn a lot as someone who master level when I was younger I haven’t played as much lately. Love chess. Good work. Gl
Hello, Anna, the Reykjavik Open videos from you and Pia are absolutely awesome, thank you so much! Your broadcasts truly bright up the days! Anna, please let me tell you, Pia is working very hard to commentate your games. Please take good care of her. I believe she is overstraining. Set her an alarm so that she takes a break every hour or so, or just "give" her a free day. Was impossible to hear her crackling voice during your second game yesterday, I had am impression her voice is just going to fail. She was almost whispering at some point. And she was making _a lot_ of factual mistakes, mixing up words, and apologizing for her tiredness! There is no need for that kind of sacrifice. Thank you and Pia again for all the work you are doing!
Deep lines .. that checkmate you saw was so inspired .. you both are sick players i watch you both to get stronger .. that was such fun lol .. Im an IMRosen stafford gambit fan lolol that attack was inspired .. awesome lines of adaptation .. GL
At 7:50 You missed a big opportunity. Bishop e4xc6 forking 2 rooks and if the b7 pawn takes your bishop you hit back with the queen forking the 2 rooks and the bishop. Black can move a rook or move the queen to protect a rook but the other rook is bye-bye and if you are lucky a7 pawn is also taken. The balance is 1 bishop saced but a rook and 3 pawns taken.
After he played 1. ... h5 was there the possibility to play 2. g4 immediately? Bust the king open by either 2. ... fxg 3.Bxg6 gxf3 (3. ... fxg6 4.Qxg6+ and draw secured)4.Bxh5 and initiative or 2. ... hxg 3. Ng5 and some shenanigans on the h-file. And u make sure you are the one attacking. Probably doesn't work but maybe in blitz.
I normally watch Eric's channel and get his analysis of his games but RUclips recommended this "perspective" to me. It was interesting. Good luck with the rest of the tournament.
I wish I had your energy levels. It's inspiring. Eric's is one of the first Chess channel on RUclips I watched along with the Backyard Professor, Ben Finegold, Alexandra Botez and GothamChess. You're all wonderful.
I don’t know that there’s a more wholesome and lovable personality in the chess scene than you, Anna. People will always root for you. Eric played a great game though, it was basically a forgone conclusion right out the opening when he stayed accurate and solid and shut the attack down. Respect for the way you never took your foot off the gas in spite of that, kept posing threats, and most of all provided an analysis between games!
Just wanted to say that I love those recap videos! I watched all 4 of them in a row and then this 5th came out so sleep schedule ruined I guess... keep them up!
Thank you so much Anna for teaching me chess, 6 months of your vidds, and maybe 20 online chess games, and i won a tournament at work with 20 players, in the final girl i won against in the finals brother is a master. an she was good. I had a really good day, now they think im a really good player (i'm not really) but i accepted the complement
6:03 unfortunately e4 was not great, if the purpose was to get a knight to g5 (which isn't really a very good place for the knight in this position anyway) it didn't need all that, and if the purpose was to open up the space, it didn't do much of that either, because even 4-5 moves down the line, space was still the same for white if not slightly worse.
At 13:40 I don't understand what you were saying - you can't take the bishop can you? Because the king could move out of check by taking your rook. I love your videos by the way, I'm a beginner but working on learning.
5:26 "I hate it when I think that something is good and the engine doesn't agree with me" Yeah I can relate, that's all my moves.
... I think that is everyone's
Engine is sigma
Same.
most not all
repent to God

Big fan of these breakdown videos where you go through a game and actually explain the concepts behind each move and your plans.
i wonder if it's hard to have proper tournament etiquette when you're playing against your friend

I like the fact she felt the need to clarify that she wanted to attack Eric ... on the chessboard. 😅
I like how you never stopped looking for ways to attack. Great game!

It's cool that Dina made an appearance in the video too!
„… a move the engine didn’t like but I thought was good…“
This sums up my chess career pretty well. 😂
A move that's good at the 1500-2000 level is very different to a move that's good at the 3500-4000 level of modern engines.
I'm a big Eric Rosen fan. I discovered Anna because of Eric's channel. What an amazingly small world that these two played over the board in an open tournament in Iceland.
I love these recaps, great videos thanks and good luck!
00:06 look at Eric smiling, shaking her hand, and then the moment he hits the clock his face turns into an ice cold killer's.
ok slightly exaggerated.
God luck Anna! We are all rooting for ya!

Hi Anna, youre energy is contagious! good video!
That was a pretty crazy coincidence lol Also, where'd you get that laptop cover? It's awesome!

love how we spend so much time on what we want to happen rather then what did happen.
It's great to be able to see analysis from both sides of the game.
I really like it when Anna mentions that she uses new words (8:59) that she just learns in English, it makes her channel even more educational.
I love the way Anna says "move". It makes it sound so fancy. "Meuhw"
It was a good try. Eric is a tough opponent. Hopefully you are doing well in your game now.
Dina sneaking in at 5:17 😂

Losing with a honest smile is much more difficult than winning. Good luck Anna, you are adorable.
Don't feel bad, you are learning!
The way you pronounced Trompowsky is actually correct, the way Levy says it is more 'english' pronounciation, yours is closer to the original
Yeah, since she's half Spanish (which is closer to Portuguese) she pronounced it closer to the og name.
@@lazyatthedisco It's a polish surname, though.
congrats on 400k anna! grattis
6:03 unfortunately e4 was not great, if the purpose was to get a knight to g5 (which isn't really a very good place for the knight in this position anyway) it didn't need all that, and if the purpose was to open up the space, it didn't do much of that either, because even 4-5 moves down the line, space was still the same for white if not slightly worse.

Thanks Anna for making chess enjoyable again.
"new word (smile)" got me :D
Love both of your content. Congrats!
Kudos to the tournament organizers for making this pairing. If it was a computer, still, it has a sense of what is appropriate.
Eric should've been like "oh no, my rating points"
At 13:40 I don't understand what you were saying - you can't take the bishop can you? Because the king could move out of check by taking your rook. I love your videos by the way, I'm a beginner but working on learning.
If Anna Cramling won
Then Eric Rosen would say:
Oh no the game
Oh no my tournament standing
