    Guys. Basic rule. Anna is super distracting so don't look at her, don't respond to her questions, be super scared when she is chatting away on HER time and not bothering to move. Just pretend you are somewhere else. It will delay your loss.

    He moved his queen five times while Anna developed at least four pieces, most of which were attacking moves. He needs to review her video where she covers: 1) Check 2) Capture 3) Attack in calculating potential moves. Oh yes, also where she discusses defending one's own pieces at all times, if possible. Both of these points have helped my own game.

    But now to the game, Anna says "you play quite well" but let's be honest....Snurre moved only his much to early queen around and get a punishment for that. Anna forked him with a check, she could take his rook, but chose for the pon instead....and looked at Snurrre's face at that moment. Wondering if he actually saw that or not. So she makes a second forked on the other side with a check....again Anna didn't take the rook and I thought...oh Anna doesn't want to hurt him to much, but I was wrong! She saw a checkmate coming, that's why she didn't take the rook😂 Always love to see Anna play and talk and her body language ❤

      I'm a 900 with 2300 in puzzles. At that level, you can't make inaccuracies and must always look for tactic opportunities. Typically a move that leads to a fork and wins a pawn is enough to turn the game. I just beat Isabel bot by setting up some central tension, then moving a knight to take a pawn with check solely to reveal facing bishops because hers was undefended.

    • @Mr12Relic

      I just beat Wally bot for the first time. Basically a draw after 44 moves, but I blundered a knight and resorted to pushing pawns. Wally apparently mouseslipped his rook to the wrong file, 1 more than my leading pawn's line, so it promoted after we traded rooks. By some miracle, in 2 moves Wally went from up 4.3 to draw perpetual to losing M17.
