Hi! I'm the guy in the video 🤣 I messed up the move order in the opening and that got me in this super sad position ahah. I enjoyed playing with Anna during the Streamers Blitz Cup 😃
Thank you for clearly explaining all of your moves and the reasoning behind your moves in a way that we could understand and slowly enough to where we could comprehend.Thank you again.
Hi Anna Thank you for showing us the game, and yes, absolutely I did enjoy it!! It's very instructional having you explain and demonstrate essential chess principles from move 5 onwards and see how you took advantage of the space and strong centre. Perhaps the Nimzo-Indian 4.Qc2 line should be renamed 'The Cramling Attack' !
Congratulations. Keep going it’s a great game. I live in Hastings UK and in the 80’s we hosted some of the biggest tournaments ever. I met most of the top players. Sadly I don’t play any more but we still have a great club locally.❤️
That guy's rating is 1757. Anna's rating is significantly higher at 2061. Of course she "destroyed him" as she originally wrote on this video and then she changed it to "shocked him" after several people were offended by her original video title. Anna is 300 rating points above him. That's not a shock at all. She is expected to beat anyone significantly lower in rating.

Anna, you’re a good sport. When you win you don’t rub salt into your opponent’s wounds and when you lose you learn from the experience and congratulate the winner.
When I was in college, a friend of mine in the dorm liked to play chess, so we would sit down and play chess. I knew how to play - but I had never studied theory at all. So, after losing 3-4 games, I headed to the campus library to study up on chess theory. (This is where I learned about the Sicilian defense - which my friend hated when I played it). I also happened to find a small paperback on chess theory from Bobby Fischer. I found the book fascinating, because his entire theme was ATTACK. The book was fool of examples of how to attack from all kinds of positions. His biggest advice was always look for a way to attack. Watching this reminded of when I read that book. Great job in the tournament!
It is better to play positional chess until you have developed your pieces and have accumulated positional advantages, before launching an attack. It is seldom a good idea to attack while you have pieces waiting to be developed.
The two Anna's I follow finished 1-2, lol. Maybe you see now why I keep talking about NOT having, "fear", and not allowing it to have control of any aspect of your game- not even to say, "I was scared when". People can use this when they play against you- and as you finally said, LOOKING & APPEARING confident, is just as important as being so, at times. This goes for many, many things, in this life. Won't be long, I believe, before you win your first big tournament. Keep implementing BOTH of your parents games, and you continue to build yourself into a very well-rounded player.
Interesting game! Good analysis from you Anna of this game of chess, thank you 👏 Good advice on psychological behavior during the blitz tournament! I agree
Awesome game! Thanks for mentioning the alarm. I had to pause the video just to find out where it's coming from. And when I continued watching, that's when you mentioned it. 😁
Hello, Anna. I created a variation of the Cow opening I call the Manatee, or Sea Cow, opening 🤭. It’s not a great opening but I’ve had some success with it.
@@svetfeddersen9767 the Manatee came about because I was doing the cow wrong 😂 From White you open 1d3 then 1e3. With your Cow you then play Nd2 Nb3 and mirror the King side, but on this I jump straight from Nb1 to Nc3 and Ng1 to Nf3. I then develop my bishops to d2 and e2 before castling. It’s a mess. I know. It’s big and cumbersome just like a manatee. It also doesn’t hold up very well to aggression. But if you confuse your opponent by this opening, and they play a little more conservatively, it’s possible to have some success. But if your opponent just goes for an outright attack it’s not going to hold up very well.
@@dr.floridamanphd Have you tried doing something similar from the Black side? If you played one well known defence and had pawns on d6&e6, knights on c6 and f6, bishop on e7 this could arise from some lines in the Sicilian, e.g. Scheveningen!!
the good thing I like about blitz is, you can watch it live and its exciting. with classical the only way I can watch it is with a ''Anna Cramling Edit''.
@@jason_108 No, both had 3 minutes on clock when they started + 2sec increment and when checkmate happened white had 43 seconds on clock 8:41 Position was lost anyway, but ...Kc6 would have been better move , it is not an instant mate at least
I think that the point Anna made in the video was that her opponent found himself in a losing position in less than one minute. The remainder of the time taken was simply needed to apply the coup-de-grace.
My favorite Swedish hero who didn't play Chess was Beowulf the man who hunted and defeat the Grendel. Beowulf means dog face beast; what we would translate into bear. Today we would say Grendel; and Grendel means bellowing powerful growls. The Babylonians called them mushkhushshu However in Beowulf time they are describe to be more like young Big Foots in shape and size..
GG ! Congrats !! Great advice Anna that's how I guess I got away with quite a few blunders by playing them very confidently in otb blitz. Time is money especially in otb blitz. Great fun too right. Sac sac mate and if it doesn't work win on time.
Knowing nothing about chess, my take away was that it is a winning strategy in blitz tournaments simply to force the opponent to have to think. Thanks for thisw
This is the kind of attack Kasparow was doing all the time except for the fact that he exactly knew what he was doing as he was always brutally fast calculating.
Once more, I’m in awe, how you played and what honest comments you made. I learnt from yo, how important it is to create space, to not loose time and to attack, when feasible. The details of this particular game are less important. And congratulations to adding 39 points to your rating and to eventually win the tournament.
Great game. But what I really wanna know is who tf designed those trophies. They look ridiculous, like someone glued the ugliest vase they could find onto a little pedestal...
Not really under a minute but that was a fast game😅 Impressive anyway. (Let me know if you're interested in collaborating; I sent you an email about it by the name Tanishq)
Well played. Well done! So cute that none of you knew where to stand 😊. Top 3 were all women. So good to see. You still managed to play very well in the tournament ❤.
Dear Anna, well done! I would like to thank you, for you truly make chess more fun and interesting. There is one thing that makes me laugh the most: Men who are commenting you on your looks. Here is why. You remind me of my daughter so much, that i find myself a little bit upset, and yet amused whenever i feel that someone isn't respectful enough towards you. It is ridiculous and i am learning to just have fun with it. 😅🎉 Personaly, i think you are a very courageous young lady, and your heart is in the right place. And yes, you still have to develop yourself more as a human being, and find out what life is all about. I wish you nothing, then the very best on your journey. Thank you once more. Blessings to you and your kin. Amen. 🙏😇❤️
I also created a new cow variation called Wife Cow and the moment i move D3, i will yell at my some random accussations at my opponents face for no reason
Please Play Matan Evenoff so we can watch him blatantly lie about how the pieces move vertically and call the knights ponies or something and then flip over the table and say that it counts as winning - I would be in fits of laughter
A strange thing happened to me the other day. The radio interviewed a woman who played chess and her parents also played chess. The strange thing was that they spoke Swedish. I never heard Anna speak Swedish more than a word here and there.
@@almendratlilkouatl I know that she speaks three languages but 99 % of the things she says on YT are in English and then there are some few words in Spanish.

....b6 was his first mistake. She took control of the center and eventually sealed his fate with that e pawn.
Joao is Portuguese for John. Portuguese is similar to Spanish.
You're gonna see these people again over a chess board, never tell them you were bluffing.
Psychological? You bet! If your commentary is in align with the video then your "poker face" was superb. Well done, Anna!

Id also be done in 1 minute
Lol your opponent went a little nuts with the fianchettos! That can't be a good thing in the Nimzo Indian.
Congratulations Anna on gaining 30 points and winning 2nd 🎉🎉🎉
