Anna's next feat should be to play as many games, but with different openings in each game. The runs must include the Fried Liver Attack, and the Sodium opening. Shrimps like salty water. Bravo to one of the loveliest and sweetest chess streamers.
I cannot take because takes and takes then takes and takes and takes. Because if I go there, then takes, takes, takes, takes. OK, you know what let’s just do this move!
Chessable caro kann release date??? I jokingly asked you months ago on Anna’s stream for some Vienna content, and you haven’t disappointed. So thank you for all the great work Alex!
1:52:00 Miaow time. I've been watching on and off, and really loving this. So much to learn seeing the play and hearing your think-aloud commentary. Thanks for doing this!
Took me 5 sittings to watch, almost done, but this is the reason I love watching ANNA. She's ALWAYS HAPPY. Her feelings are so honest. She gets excited by moves. Positions scare her, yet she's always positive. May get down, because of a game, but 5 minutes later, she's back to being perky again. Hope she maintains that joyous spirit, as she gets older. It's rare to see, even in young people now.
I love the way you narrate your thoughts as you play. I find it much more informative/useful than other channels I've watched - maybe it's just that your communication style matches me better! Thanks for all the content, please don't slow down!
I watched the whole thing!!! Anna is now living even more rent free in my head. I played some games and I could hear myself thinking "the idea is simply to go here, here, and then here and takes, takes and takes cause I don't like his Knight there cause it's kinda scary!" I legit learned so much in these 8 hrs. I always thought sacrificing a bishop for a knight was bad news, learned it's not. I didn't even think about sacrificing to "mess up pawn structure" I learned that it sometimes makes sense to move into risk if the piece is weak (eg. light square bishops sometimes). I often used to find myself playing too passive and just dancing developed pieces around the board with my opponent, these new things helped me notice when to attack. I also figured out some ways to attack castled Kings. I learned to just keep trading pieces and go to an end game if you're up pieces and can't figure out a checkmate. and yeah... Also, I learned water is underrated, and tea is underrated. I learned Anna says "glasses" in just as interesting of a way as she says "half". I was reminded of how much more I don't like the Spanish from Spain accent versus the Central/South American Spanish accent (when speaking Spanish... that forced lisp just seems so unnatural, lol anyone reading (probably no one) don't hate me for saying this.) Finding this video when I'm still sick and in bed was pretty clutch. Thanks a million
5:52 that face scared me to death I thought evrything was lost, the end of the world coming humanity ends in a cinder cloud or laser from aliens You Are Crazy 🤣
This is such a huge help for someone like me that is just getting back into chess. Lots of games and talking through the moves (and traps and common mistakes) is so great. Thank you so much!
Mjau, great video Anna, and props to you for doing this through the night and staying eunthiastic troughout! Have watched a good chunk of the video and will definately come back to finish it later, as a novice chess player I find this very educational
MEOW! Totally cool to watch you do this. Learning a lot. I really admire how you see things so fast -- and in a few cases I've analyzed to see something you missed -- which doesn't make me think any less of you, only that you're a human being too!
Ain’t no way I’m typing meow… but the fact that you kept streaming with so much enthusiasm for so long is commendable. Keep up the good content, because you earned yourself a new subscriber!
This is the best idea ever and the best instructional video i have ever seen. I know I am too low rating (823) to be using the Sicilian defence but its the one i started off with and my white opening also happens to be Queens Gambit - so I have learned such a lot. I have replayed up to 1000 rating several times and will continue to do so, as any higher than that is probably too advanced for me. Really enjoyed it thanks- your enthusiasm is infectious!
So many good moments. 3:24:35 smother mating herself instead of just taking the knight had me cracking up. Really great chess though and learning a ton as a 1200. It's nice to see her make mistakes and recover from them.
@@St0neByte If she takes the knight there, the opponent takes the rook on H1 and it's mate .. try to see other side of the board as well, BTW I'm 2000, and this is just an advice, getting to 2000 is not difficult
Ive been following the whole video so far, 5 hours, you are an amazing person and example for many. Well done .. nice to know how you are really thinking and reacting to setbacks .. at this point things are becoming more difficult and you are getting tired. Fantastic video
4:02:19 You literally told yourself to watch out for that line a few minutes earlier! It's day two and I might finish this today, if not tomorrow. Thank you so much for your videos. I've found my passion for chess again and have improved because of you.
I did actually watch the whole video without skipping! Somehow that feels like an achievement in itself, even though Anna was the one who played it all 😄 What a fun video, thanks!
Most impressive. It took me three days to watch it all. Anna starts fresh with easiest wins and battles through increasingly difficult competition as she reaches her goal. A true marathon.
Watching this video at 1,75x speed. You are amazing, Anna! Even though I am not a chess player, I am mesmerized by your skills. Commenting your moves while playing is the next level of difficulty. Meow.
I like how Anna blames the watermelon whenever she thinks her opponent is upset. The idea of people getting livid over a watermelon is super funny to me.
Meow. I'm slowly progressing through this video while writing technical docs for work. The positive energy you bring to the game always brightens my day!
I struggle with insomnia, but your speedrun has consistently helped me fall asleep for 17 consecutive nights. It's the first time in years that I wake up feeling genuinely refreshed. Keep up the great work with the longer content!
Ohh Anna, that MCDonnel attack is awesome. I success win lots of chess games with using that. Your stream teaching us chess and English at the same time. Thank you very much!
Its not only almost 9 hours, its starting at 2 a.m. with all the day on right about to fall asleep, then playing and non stop talking for almost 9 hours, till 10 a.m. where after the bye she fell right at the bed probably next to her. And waking up not in the best mood altering her normal sleep time. This was not just about reaching 2000 it was about endurance with her best face, yeah ok shes 20 years old i was undestructible at that time too... yeah thats my malagueña salerosa... ❤
She mentions in the video that she is a night person and not a morning person. I've also seen several afternoon streams where she mentioned that she did just wake up. But this is definitely outside her normal sleep schedule. I too wondered why she started at 2am rather than a couple of hours earlier, but she mentions at 4:38:48 that she thought it would only take a couple of hours and that she is a "Time Optimist", always thinking that things take much time than they actually do. This might also explain why she is so often running out of time.😉
I thought I was watching an 8 minute video which is about my level of concentration, and after 12 minutes looked at the time bar and saw that it was 8 hours!
Hi Anna, I'm a new subscriber and I just wanted to say that I learnt a lot from your content especially the videos where you/your GM parents analyse different positions, and also the video about middlegames 😄👍
Meow. Anna this is great content. I have watched 2 hours non stop. Can't do the full marathon in one sitting because life things to do, but I will watch the whole thing without skipping anything. And will pipe in with observations later.

Haven't seen this yet. But I definitely will. I love Anna's exuberance, and her love for learning, especially from her parents. Busy setting up my Dungeons and Dragons game for my players. But, I'll watch this tomorrow. I know I'm going to enjoy it. Eight hours...I'm impressed. If I can watch Critical Role games that have lasted up to 7 hours, I can definitely watch Anna for eight hours. Hazy lazy day to watch chess.
I have watched all the video from start to the end. It was very impressive and inspiring watching the way you thinking through every game. Just wanted to thank you)
omg i love hearing her talk! and its for eight hours straight!! please do another like this my angel!!! you could just literally talk to yourself forever!!!!
It's been so much fun to see this Speedrun. I started like 3 months ago and watch here and there normally before going to sleep. My current rating is around 1560!! Keep working hard gamba frita 🦐
I haven't played chess since my dad passed away in 2003... we used to play all the time... I just didn't want to play anymore... maybe I'll pick it back up... my son is 19, and he doesn't know how to play... maybe it's time i show him...what yall think 🤔...
When you said at 2:45:16 "Like not actually doing everything" you're re-telling the story about Emanuel Lasker. He was about to light a cigar during a game, but hesitated. His opponent, who _hated_ cigar smoke, was distracted. Lasker never lit the cigar, but it was _right there._ Finally, his unstrung opponent called over the tournament director, demanding that he make Lasker stop. When the director pointed out that Lasker was not actually breaking any rules, the player said “Everyone knows that Dr. Lasker has written that the threat is much stronger than the execution!”' So you're in good company.
Hey Anna, I have been catching up on all your videos and I have to say I really love this one especially. Explaining tactics for lower level players like myself has been so helpful. The issue I find with watching GM's play is that they make all these moves and you have no idea why because they don't really explain the reason for making those moves.. So I end up not learning much from watching GM's play. I enjoyed it so much I will be watching it again to ensure I remember some of these opening tactics..
Meow, 2:35 i wonder whats move... then probably you missed something, i look at you saying "and thennn...." and you smiled... i really burst laughing... 😂
I wonder if there's any other middle aged people watching these videos and getting interested in chess. But it's hard to get into something as competitive as chess when you're old 😂😂
Miau I'm still watching not because I love chess (l like chess but it's just okay) but because I like you and how you transpire doing what you love. I love to see and feel that through people. It's very inspiring witnessing people doing what they are passionate about.
It took me several takes on 17 different days to watch it all but meow I finished it. I did expect you to win that game because of prior knowledge, but halfway the game I didn't see how you could. But then, I don't have a rating. It was an interesting journey and nice to watch the stages of chess to go through. My favourite moment was your reaction after you lost the game after blundering a piece just a few matches after you said you should take losses like a champion. You recovered nice though, congratulations this feat.

"The king can never castle in the future."
In that game. He can still castle in a future game.
I wonder if there's any other middle aged people watching these videos and getting interested in chess. But it's hard to get into something as competitive as chess when you're old 😂😂

I'm still watching not because I love chess (l like chess but it's just okay) but because I like you and how you transpire doing what you love. I love to see and feel that through people. It's very inspiring witnessing people doing what they are passionate about.
at 2:58:06 there's bishop takes d5 no? followed by Knight check at c7. Did i miss anything? Bxd5, Nxd5, Qxd5, Qxd5, Nc7*, Kh8, Nxd5
Another great statement: "Do not get too tilted when you lose."
GM levels of skill, determination, enthusiasm and bladder control. Loved every minute, well done Anna!
It took me several takes on 17 different days to watch it all but meow I finished it. I did expect you to win that game because of prior knowledge, but halfway the game I didn't see how you could. But then, I don't have a rating.
It was an interesting journey and nice to watch the stages of chess to go through. My favourite moment was your reaction after you lost the game after blundering a piece just a few matches after you said you should take losses like a champion. You recovered nice though, congratulations this feat.
