I love this group of streamers, Levy, Botez, Nemo, ... and if course Ana. But Pia is so sweet AND incredibly smart. Idk what Levy is thinking... Never mess with an very experienced woman like Pia! Lol in seriousness I'll greatly love the match regardless how it goes. Hoping Levy gets that GM soon.
Despite the title, GothamChess is discussed only in the first few minutes of the video. It is actually a fascinating journey through Pia Cramling's story and career.
Thanks for this heads up. I'd have been disappointed and clicked away, not because I'm disinterested in the content -- I'll for sure watch it later -- but because I'm in the mood for what the title actually implies, a more current-events and editorial/pop culture focus. Wish the title had been more accurate
To be fair, I doubt even a chess commentator as accomplished as Pia could spend 44 minutes finding different ways of saying "I will gently dismember him".
Just Annas Click bate😏 i thought it was cool hearing Pias journey to grandmaster. People were just expecting them do complaina Bout Levy? Never really seen them being mean.
Anna's been accused on multiple occasions of being (sometimes too) clickbaity with her titles. This swings the pendulum the other way to be anti-clickbait if there were such a thing. She gives a long form interview of her mother, but it ends up being just her "mom's opinion on GothamChess" I'll be honest. Almost never clicked because how I couldn't care less about the purported title, but only because I was curious how that was 44 minutes of material. PLEASE Anna change this to something like "The Life and Times of Chess Grandmaster Pia Cramling" or something like that. This is one time the video definitely deserves MORE.
It's so wholesome to see Anna talk about her mother's accomplishments. Hard not to love them both. You're very, fortunate, Anna. Don't ever forget that. Best of luck, GM Pia. I hope you sweep the games.
You can see how much Pia and Anna cherish each other and how much they love sharing their devotion to chess and the lives they have built around it. It's a joy to watch them together.
What a lovely interview! So much love and joy Pia expresses in being a mother and sharing her experiences balancing competition life while raising a child.
Thanks! I've watched some of your videos for some time. Those which include Pia are special. You, Anna, nailed this interview. You both came across as genuine and loveable. Kudos. Good luck, gm Pia.
Very good interview and interviewer. Knowing your subject so well helps but it was a very interesting story and super smooth flow. Hope to catch a few of the games 🙂👍
That was the most wholesome interview I've seen!! It was so wondeful to learn more about Pia and her journey in chess! Very awesome achivements and very inspiring! She shows you truly can do anything. Will be rooting for Pia and I think she'll win!
Wow, Anna, that was a really great interview. Your presentation and format were very professional. I know it was your mother. But if you do this well with an interview with Levy, you should look into interviewing more chess players the same way. I mean it. It was really well done!
Who doesn't love Pia? Honestly, I think no one can resist her charm! She’s just the sweetest and has a way of making everyone around her feel special. Such a lovely lady! 🌟💖
Amazing to hear Pia's story! Pia is so softly spoken, kindest and humblest but also a killer on the chess board. Pia is clearly Anna's hero and a wonderful role model for anyone! Pia is clearly so proud of Anna.
Having you interview your own mum is a no brainer youve heard all the storys an know what to ask an it proberly brings out your favirate storys an pea seems alot more relaxed an just talks to her daughter its a great dinamic 👍
44 minutes of wholesomeness and inspiration. Pia and Anna, you two are absolute gems. Please keep doing what you're doing! Truely a motivation for the game and for life! :)
This is such a wonderful interview. Anna, you are a great interviewer and your mom is a great interviewee. Your mom is a treasure. It is so touching the part that motherhood (her having you) was a big inspiration for your mom finding the joy of chess again. If there is such a thing as awards for best chess interview, I nominate this interview!
Pia is an extremely cute and kind person. But not only that. She is super determined and sharp. Absolutely a role model for any intelligent young person. I am not surprised Anna is also a great and charming human being, she has an unfair advantage: her mum.
This is so wholesome and nice to see! Good luck Pia, I will be cheering for you. It's lucky that Gotham has not become a GM yet or he would be much too strong! 🤣
May the best candidate win the matches involved, both players are capable of winning the honors for sure! It’s the hungry looking for the wins to achieve the crown, and the wiser one who’s been to the mountain top. Good luck to both!
I don´t believe that any of them feel an special pressure in this situation. For both of them it´s a "friendly" (as far as a match between two professionals can be friendly). And I agree almost agree with you. Levy it´s favourite in Blitz (age and he have played thousands of blitz games) and Pi it´s favourite in classic (ELO don´t lie). But in Rapid, who knows...
Watching Pia and Anna is just lovely! Good luck Pia! Honestly I really don't mind who wins, Pia is so lovely and just an amazing person so will be completely happy if she wins. If Levy wins though it would be so good for his confidence, so I'll be happy for him to. I think Pia will win though - I mean she's just so good.
This was very special❤❤❤Pia is such a formidable woman and chess player. It’s not easy to imagine there was a world of chess where very few females had to fight their way in and up in a male world….with her toddler child sitting in a stroller while mum fights to become a GM. Respect❤❤❤and she’s brought up a wonderful daughter at the same time! I love the Cramlings❤❤❤
So looking forward to the match. I wish both Pia and Levy the best of luck. I'd love to see Pia win (just to see the old school keeping solid) but I'm really just hoping for a close and exciting match. Levy has done so much for chess. The first trick I learned, The Traxler, was from Levy and I won so many games with it ( also lost a few as i couldn't remember all the lines, such is the way of learning chess). If Levy wins I'll also be very content. He's a total legend of the game. I wouldn't be playing now if he wasnt posting so much awesome content.
I don´t thinks so. If this were just a classical match, yes, Pia would be a clear favourite, ELO don´t lie. But there are a blitz segment, and here Levy it´s a favourite. I believe that the match would be close and would be decide by the rapid segment.
@@salvadorsempere1701 true, the blitz format does favor Levy. although i think Pia's better at rapid formats than she'd have you believe. anyway, it's def an interesting match-up and i'm looking forward to seeing what happens
I absolutely love these family videos with Pia and/or Juan. Levy have improved a lot the last few years, but I still think Pia is clear favourite to beat him. Levy has the best chances in blitz, but he has to find a new level in his game, if he want to win the whole match.
And another 40 fact - she's actually the number one rated active women in the world forty years and older, better than all those twenty years her junior. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Pia and Anna are some of my favorite people on TH-cam. They are ridiculously wholesome. And Pia is a friggin beast!
Agree. Love when Pia is live commenting on Anna’s games. “She moved f4! She moved f4! This is the best move. Oh, I’m so happy!”. lol. Awesome.
They're a breath of fresh air.
Yeah absolutely such an amazing pair of individuals.
I love this group of streamers, Levy, Botez, Nemo, ... and if course Ana. But Pia is so sweet AND incredibly smart. Idk what Levy is thinking... Never mess with an very experienced woman like Pia! Lol in seriousness I'll greatly love the match regardless how it goes. Hoping Levy gets that GM soon.
Pia will win as she is a gm.
A lovely lady, so gentle but tough and looking for a win, while smiling.

I clicked for Gotham match but stayed for Pia.

@@ProuvaireJean Very true lol
Just Annas Click bate😏 i thought it was cool hearing Pias journey to grandmaster. People were just expecting them do complaina Bout Levy? Never really seen them being mean.
Anna and Pia are so pure. Always love watching them and their chemistry
Anna and Pia content 🥰
hello sigma chess
Pia is such a sweetheart, does she ever say anything negative except when watching Ana play?
She’s a sweetheart, but she’ll rip your throat out at the board 🤣👍
She often mentions Annas lack of time management!
Thank both of yall for being such beautiful people. Pia's personality is just golden, I see where Anna gets it from. Best wishes from Texas
Pia is amazing. Thanks for the interview Anna.
what a blessing it is having a mom you can look up to

I love your title suggestion. :)
Agreed. Almost skipped the video because of the title. Glad I stayed.
im sure anna knows what shes doing
Absolutely agree, I think most Gotham/Anna videos are so much better than the title and thumbnail
This is such a great video. Thank you for sharing your story, Pia. Best of luck in the tournament, all the way from Bangor, Maine, USA.
Anna’s very good at hosting an interview.
It's so wholesome to see Anna talk about her mother's accomplishments. Hard not to love them both. You're very, fortunate, Anna. Don't ever forget that. Best of luck, GM Pia. I hope you sweep the games.
I've never seen two more genuine and wholesome people in my life. 🎉❤
Pia..Such a wholesome woman..it’s clear where Anna gets her looks from too…will certainly follow the match against Levy with interest!
Pia is such a beautiful and admirable woman. Good luck to her against Gotham
You can see how much Pia and Anna cherish each other and how much they love sharing their devotion to chess and the lives they have built around it. It's a joy to watch them together.
Look at the genuine smiles of those ladies ! Makes me want to play or watch chess all the time. 😊
Tu mamá se merece que le hagan una película o un serie de Tv basada solo en su vida y su relación con el ajedrez... bellísima!
Pia and Anna's relationship is goals
Thank you so much for this beautiful interview
The way I'm more excited about this than I was for the Olympics
How can you not adore this woman?! Amazing interview and life story, thanks so much for sharing 🫶
Good luck, GM Pia. I trust you'll emerge victorious. Respect.
What a lovely interview! So much love and joy Pia expresses in being a mother and sharing her experiences balancing competition life while raising a child.

Real goddess, simply perfect in every way.
Loved this interview!
Really great interview.
This was just about the most wholesome interview i ever saw! Pia is amazing chess player and even better human being.
She seems so great. What a great attitude

Such a sweet interview. Love the history, the warmth and the love
Kick his butt Pia!!!!!!!!!!! But we love you either win or lose.
Such a good video! Pia is smart🎉
Anna, you could be one fantastic journalist.
What an interview, what a devoted chess player, Pia has been
They both are lucky to have each other as Mother and Daughter. Can't wait for the Match Tho
There is a kindness and humility aura around Pia and the way she speaks. The world needs more of this ❤️
Wonderful interview between mum and daughter. Hope to see same with dad.
This was so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing a bit of your lives Pia Cramling. Takk så mykket for alt.
We need PIA CRAMLING SERIES right Now!!!😤
Can't wait for this match! Good Luck to you both.

Best interview ever, 45 minutes went FLYING, saludos desde argentina
Pia is such a hero. This was awesome.
So Pia must have been 39 as Anna was born. It seems a very nice family.
This is so wholesome and nice to see! Good luck Pia, I will be cheering for you. It's lucky that Gotham has not become a GM yet or he would be much too strong! 🤣
💞Pia and Anna are the greatest! I love watching Pia's commentary of Anna's games. They're so fun and informative.
How could you not love Pia. She won at life IMO. Has a passion and a family that she can share that with.
I wish all luck to Levy in his pursue of the GM norm, but still me and my cats we are rooting for Pia ❤😺😸😼
May the best candidate win the matches involved, both players are capable of winning the honors for sure! It’s the hungry looking for the wins to achieve the crown, and the wiser one who’s been to the mountain top. Good luck to both!
Levy probably has the edge in blitz, but I think Pia will win classical and even rapid. Pia won’t consider this a pressure situation. She’ll do well.
I don´t believe that any of them feel an special pressure in this situation. For both of them it´s a "friendly" (as far as a match between two professionals can be friendly). And I agree almost agree with you. Levy it´s favourite in Blitz (age and he have played thousands of blitz games) and Pi it´s favourite in classic (ELO don´t lie). But in Rapid, who knows...
They’re both so adorable in their own ways 😁
Anna you are definitly a content legend regarding to chess! Thx
Watching Pia and Anna is just lovely! Good luck Pia! Honestly I really don't mind who wins, Pia is so lovely and just an amazing person so will be completely happy if she wins. If Levy wins though it would be so good for his confidence, so I'll be happy for him to. I think Pia will win though - I mean she's just so good.
Your mom is such a nice lady. I'm also rooting for her :)
Anna, you are an amazing interviewer. Great job
I just love Pia
My daughter is 1 year old and God I hope she has a heart like Ana in her twenties.
I hope pia wins, but I dont want levy to loose. Ahhh!
They are righteous. I'm going to review this over and over. I love her encyclopedia memory in telling the story.
I'm wondering with the fact that this "old" lady's voice is so calm and kind... But the same lady is absolutely a monster on the board ...
Waiting for interview with Juan😊
She loves you so much Anna, it's so beautiful
This is gold!
This was very special❤❤❤Pia is such a formidable woman and chess player. It’s not easy to imagine there was a world of chess where very few females had to fight their way in and up in a male world….with her toddler child sitting in a stroller while mum fights to become a GM.

How can you not love Pia, she is so wholesome
Both of you are so gorgeous and inspiring! 😍
I'm looking forward to this match. I appreciate both players but I confess I would love that Pia would win 😅
So looking forward to the match. I wish both Pia and Levy the best of luck. I'd love to see Pia win (just to see the old school keeping solid) but I'm really just hoping for a close and exciting match. Levy has done so much for chess.

If Levy wins I'll also be very content. He's a total legend of the game. I wouldn't be playing now if he wasnt posting so much awesome content.
i really like Levy but i can't help but think that Pia is absolutely gonna serve him his arse on a plate in this match
She's certainly a stronger player but they are within just 100-200 rating so it's not an overwhelming advantage. It'll be interesting
I don´t thinks so. If this were just a classical match, yes, Pia would be a clear favourite, ELO don´t lie. But there are a blitz segment, and here Levy it´s a favourite. I believe that the match would be close and would be decide by the rapid segment.

I'm happy that Pia kept her passion for chess and witnessed its development with social media and online streaming. Best of luck against Levy.
I absolutely love these family videos with Pia and/or Juan.
Levy have improved a lot the last few years, but I still think Pia is clear favourite to beat him. Levy has the best chances in blitz, but he has to find a new level in his game, if he want to win the whole match.
Pia is my favorite chess player
All children young or old should look at their parents the way Anna looks at her mom.
Pia Cramling is the actual GOAT. Who else has been in the top for 40 years. and to think she's almost forty ;)
And another 40 fact - she's actually the number one rated active women in the world forty years and older, better than all those twenty years her junior. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Pia is my prediction to take the win. Anything could happen, hoping for a long and close game, with decisive winner.
I am rooting for you Pia!
this video made me very emotional
Pia represents the best chess has to offer. She’s really inspiring
Pia played the mother gambit
Mother and daughter, side by side,
Across the chessboard, their worlds collide.
Pia, with wisdom carved from years,
Anna, with youthful spark that steers.
From early days, Anna watched and learned,
In tournament halls where victories burned.
Now, with her own bright path to tread,
She brings the game to life instead.
Two queens, each with their story told,
Pushing the limits, breaking the mold.
Together, they share a legacy vast,
A love for the game that will always last.

so humble it is the best way to victory
Väldigt intressant.
the cramlings make me love life again when i start to lose sight of it
please change the title. I almost didn't even watch the video as I didn't think it was an interview. This deserves a proper title
I had 0 interest in chess befor this video but wow im fascinated by Pias accomplishments. Incredible interview
When I got the alert for this video I thought it was going to be a joke. Just a super cut of Pia going “it’s not good. This is bad.” 😂😂😂
Speechless, I'm mesmerized.
Good lord.
When Pia has a chess board in front of her, everything else disappears I think.
I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a gm say anything so nice about Gotham
It's fun to see her daughter advanced in her English skills...but they are both good!
Pia is so wholesome
