These "talking you through my thinking processes"-videos are always very interesting and instructional. Thank you!
Helps that she’s hot too
She calculates too quickly for me sometimes, but...they made a rewind button. I think I learn more from Anna than anyone. Excellent communicator (and who doesn't love her mom and dad)
A trick I sometimes do when watching speed chess is put the speed on x0.75 it's more understandable and you appreciate the beauty more..
especially people like Danya who talk fast and then suddenly they sound like a normal person at 0.75
I actually love HER 😅🥰 ahaha such a beautiful woman but the best is her smile and character. Pure, light hearted. I'm sure men go crazy for her.
@@mariooo88 Can’t stand when dudes talk about how beautiful a woman is when it sincerely has no bearing whatsoever. Who cares if you think she’s gorgeous, it’s gross, bro. Stay focused on the task at hand, her brains, skill, love for the game, her sharing the art, her craft …not task in your pants . 🤢
@@terrancekayton007 What a sad comment you made. You assume that if someone says "beautiful" it has something to do with sex. How narrow minded. You know nothing of Italian romanticism, my comments was absolutely polite, nothing to do with sex. " Pure, light hearted" do you know what it means? "It's gross". lmao, you make me laugh.
Yea me too, I think I've learned more from this channel than anywhere else.
Please do this style of video every week. I get more out of this than any other chess video. Great explainer.
I am 71 and trying to become ok at chess. I have spent my career at being good at programming first and project management later and never had time to pursue this. There was racing cars on road courses and flying too. But now trying to learn chess. Anna is the best so far at getting me hopefully past my fear of failure to play real humans. Maybe because she learned from two grand masters and is good at remembering how they taught het, she is great at transferring that info on. Thank you.
Same here!
Concentrate on only the next move. Make the best next move under the circumstances. Why? because it's easy to bind your mind in what your opponent is going to do next. You can never know what they are going to do, so do what you want to do.
This is how TH-cam comments minimally should be! With effort and some context. Thank you
I loved it! As a beginner chess player it really helps me! I'm 71 and just got a chess game for Christmas so I'm trying to fallow your videos and understand it all. I find it very interesting the thought pattern.
I'm 71 also, and just started going to a chess club that meets at our local senior center on Mondays and Fridays. I've been playing for a long time, but it's great fun to get out and have some games against real people "in real life". I bet there's something like that wherever you are. Cheers! 🙂
This is the best anna cramling video by far , perfect for beginners and despite the fact I'm intermediate there is still stuff I can take away from it
Evan, even though I saw that Knt move, I balked due to exchanges. Now I've learned not to 2nd guess myself.
Her endgame videos are also very instructive
I agree
At my lowly rating this was perfect.
I'm around 900 and have been stuck on a 1000 level for computer for weeks (only winning about 15% of the time as black). Watched this video and immediately won as black!
Also important to note at 9:15 in the video that if Anna does not block/attack the diagonal then white has checkmate on g7.
This illustrates my problem in identifying my opponent's best moves. I'm so focused on my own moves that i neglect to analyze my opponent's plan. We also must identify our opponent's checks, captures, threats, etc.
@George Heridis I noticed the same thing , but did she mention it?
@@jesus3268 I don't think so.
Lol thats nuts. Andyes I agree. At a minimum must calculate your opponents next best threats (Often a Knight fork of some kind is harder to spot)
@@jesus3268 No she didn't, but I think it was more because she was trying to rush through the explanation, not because of a failure to see what was happening on the board. She should have mentioned it, but her clock was running down, and she had to move on with the demo. This format takes some getting used to--an explanation of a game that you're playing in real time. Hiraku is probably the master of this kind of thing, but Anna's doing okay. In fact, I would say she's a better match for lower rated players who are simply trying to get a handle on the basics. I include myself in this group...
Yep. Never trust an enemy pawn guarding your king.
Anna, please do more of these type of videos. They are very enjoyable and at same time being very instructional. Thank you.
Thank you!
I'm still in the "trying not to blunder multiple times per game" phase of chess development (which I'm fine with as a casual). It leads to hilarious games where I had 6 blunders but still win LOL
The other day I was like "ohh I have checkmate in 2 moves!!" and then I didn't see my opponent had checkmate in 1 lol. This checklist helps :) can't forget about my little king, gotta protect him
checklist haha
classic - lol
Anna is such a good teacher. Great video thank you for sharing!
Another incredibly valuable video. As it turns out, your ability to teach chess is one of your greatest gifts. Thank you.
Hi Anna, i am a beginner and this video was so helpful. I would like to see more videos like this or like the one 2 weeks ago where you told us what the opponent did wrong. I like it so much that you explain every move you do. It helps so much.
Pls keep making these masterpieces.
Greetings from Germany
@Gehteuch Nichtsan maybe you are not a beginner
Person 1: this was so helpful
Person 2: I don't think this would be helpful for you
@@sleazeberg haha yea. Some people are very strange
I think it's extremely useful for all but the strongest players to follow the lines of thought presented here. And the humble admission of Anna's own miscalculations helps weaker players to feel encouraged rather than despaired! Excellent video!
12:49 does anyone want to explain it.
This is great! I really wish there were more shorts like this on thought process. Do more please!
Hi Anna! This was amazing and exactly what I've been looking for as I've stopped progressing at 500 and go no further. This has shown me the way. Thank you so much. More like this please.
As an advanced player, I can say it was a very clear and instructionnal video. We definitely need more of this type of content in the future.
No idea if you ever read this Anna, but I'm here just to say a quick thank you. I stumbled upon your videos last week and I'm slowly learning chess since then. I remember my dad showed me how pieces move when I was little, but I was a crybaby and too sensitive to lose back then so we didn't play much. I challenged my dad today and we found this old decorated Russian chessboard in the attic. I had my ass handled spectacularly but I'm motivated to keep learning now. Apparently my dad used to play a lot when he was young and for years now he had no one to play with. Thanks to you I found a new activity to do with him whenever I visit home. We have a silent, but very supportive relationship, so it fits so well in our dinamics. Now it's time for me to prepare for future games with him, so you've found a subscriber in me.
Have a great day and good luck on your journey!
I loved the instructive commentary, Anna! I'm just starting out and I need to learn as much as possible and you help a ton! Thank you!
Super helpful for a novice-intermediate player like myself. Thanks Anna! This is my favourite format of video.
Great video concept. I like the idea of running through the short list on each move to try to find the best options. It did feel a little fast and frantic. I'd recommend maybe trying to play the game first then going through it with explanations after to give yourself more time to explain important decision points.
Loved it, thank you! Please do more :-) the timing worked out really nicely, going through the mid game accentuating the main idea where it was most applicable, and then proving your prowess through an accelerated endgame was 👍👍
This is definitely a very helpful type of video!! I gotta watch it again when I have time to sit down and focus on everything being said.
Det blir bara bättre o bättre! Tack Anna för en fantastisk youtubekanal. Mycket inspirerande!
Very interesting to hear you go through your thought process. Looking forward to seeing more of these.
@9:25 the even more compelling reason for placing the bishop on f6 instead of c5 is that bish c5 allows immediately check mate on g7 game over.
I LOVED this walkthrough! TY!
We absolutely love these new educational videos! Please keep making them! I am very eager to learn! You are the best!
This was so helpful!!! Bless you for providing this go-to "plan" that I can always have between moves now...I was really needing that :)
Love videos like this! Simple to understand and very explanatory and great tactic to use. I’m very much a beginner and this is so helpful! Thanks Anna! Hope to be as good as you one day!
Anna!!!! I learn so much from these videos. Thanks so much!
Thanks for this. Talking out loud through it. Real time is fantastic. It really helps. Sticking to fundamentals is some thing that we forget about as soon as we have a little bit of success. 😂
This was great to watch, the explanations (even if a little speedy at the end) made great logical sense. Moreover, you did it all with a smile on your face. 💪💪
I like this tip. It organizes possibilities and prioritizes. I do have the problem of calculating lines which could probably be discarded early by some other criteria.
However, I find it very difficult to avoid calculating opening moves because 1. I don't know them by heart like you since I don't have ample studies of openings, and 2. a sub-optimal move in the opening can cost you material or positional disadvantages enough to lose you the game.
Loved that video! I have been playing really a lot when I was in my teens and only played randomly since then; this video triggered all the right places in my brain in a couple of minutes to remind me how much I loved chess - and that I have to get back to playing again. Thank you!
Great examples. Love the way your able to enplane your ideas with these examples. Look forward to more.
Actually a really helpful vid, more of these types of videos would be really cool. Like closed positions, etc etc.
Great instructions!!! Love this sort of commentary - keep the videos coming:)
Lovely Anna! Enjoyed your very incisive and accurate thought process! Keep them coming!
I think the number 3 would be to improve your position (after 1 and 2) because a lot of attacks are actually developing your pieces to more active squares .
Smooth flowing...clear, precise, informative...well done thanks!? One never stops enjoying these journeys.
Thank you Anna. This was really instructive, I won't forget checks, captures and attacks. I liked the way how you explained why you did what (and why you did not do some other moves).
Epic. Loved it. Thanks for the excellent explaining!
I love your attacking instincts in this video. At around 9 minutes 17 seconds, bishop f6 was also better because it prevented Qg7 mate!
Thank you for another amazing video, too. 😊
Thank you for the video! It was bright and understandable, almost all moves were clear and logical. The question is how to make choice between different variants for example you decide to make a check or to make an attack when you see both. Like when you moved queen to c4 at 15:35?
This was very well explained, I love this format! Absolutely would love to see more videos like this were you think out loud. I'm a
Her accidental pre-move reactions are the best
Your content is so gold, Anna. Congrats a lot!
These move-by-move explainer videos are very helpful for beginner/intermediates like me. Thank you so much.
Great video! We need more of this series!
This was so helpful, please do more instructive content!!
Loved this format. Thanks for sharing.
very informative, thank you! I love how you explain the tought process behind your every move
Thank you Anna. Great video
The instructional videos are extremely useful. Your smile is contagious and personality is refreshing. Keep up the good work.
enjoyed listening to you explain how you felt about certain moves and why they worked for you you did have the jump on your opponent since right after the opening your attack was much better Thank you for the entertainment love Chess always striving to improve my game
I really like how you structure this system is very easy and helps to develop your minor pieces, think about tactics and also improve accuracy, thanks!!
Very helpful. It was just the right speed. Not too fast or too slow. It's great that you describe your thought process. Thank you.
Wow! Thanks, Anna. I’m a 1200, and the C’s, C’s, and A’s concept is really helpful for me. Great video.
Very helpful instructive and positive thinking video. I decided I need more of it in my life and I subb'd
Anna this was really great, please make more, maybe even a speedrun of this sort of content? I think it could be really popular, the way you explain your thought process is very helpful. Maybe consider doing a longer time frame too to allow yourself longer to explain moves and avoid the time scrambles.
Loved this video. I learned a lot (and laughed a lot)! Yes, please do more like this.
This was super helpful, thanks Anna!
This is the best video on calculating I've seen. Learned a lot from this
Thanks. Very instructive especially your calculation on setting the trap and also defending after g4.
I am fairly new to chess even though I'm 51. I have over the last few months been trying to learn more and better my game. My older brother always beat me at chess up until I last played him when I was around 25. It made me feel stupid as even though I knew how the pieces moved I had no idea about strategy. I am really enjoying learning. I am neuro-divergent and have ADHD and PTSD. Which means my mind certainly wanders when I need it to wonder! I just want to say Anna I really like the way you teach for me you express all the things I need to hear but not using terminology I don't understand. So thank you. I have subscribed to your channel and will be watching and learning. Many thanks. Johnny
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! Your whole thought process really helps to understand certain moves and seeing you making minor mistakes (f.eks. missing a checkmate) keeps the motivation up as well imo.
Excellent talk and playing. Had to stop and back play several decisions you made --- nice play.
This is gold for me as a struggling beginner who has been stuck for some months, thanks!
Great video. Very helpful into how to evaluate what to calculate. Thanks. 👍
9:24 one more important reason is literally to prevent checkmate Qg7# lol. I think for beginners, other than checks captures threats we can make, we should also calculate all checks captures threats our opponents can make before deciding our move
Defo need more of these. Was brilliant and I learned a lot as a newbie
Thank you soooo much for this instructive video. I love the game, played for many years, but never had any formal education on the game and thanks to the internet an old geezer like me gets to learn from better players in a concentrated form and I get the fruits of knowledge that makes the game even more rewarding. Thanks again Ms. Cramling!!!
Wow! Very helpful! This helps me to see short-term goals and get out of my own way!
Thank you!
This is very useful, I learned a lot from this on how to organize attack develop and looking for check. very well done you're really good at explaining .Thank you
Very important lesson. I also recommend applying this method to puzzles, even if it'll take much longer to solve them. Most early puzzles are check-check-check-check-next, so they never really force you to learn how to predict the opponent's moves, being unbiased about it and spot the sneakest pins.
👉You are so lucky to be👈 among my prize winner list you are indeed a great fan rich out 🎁🎁
really appreciate this vid wow walking us thru the calculation really makes the concept concrete
I want to check and capture Anna’s heart in every move ❤❤❤😂😂😂
Now that's a rizz 😎
Tack så mycket! Check, captures and attack 😊
Excellent. Very good practical advice on how to figure out what to do (Check, Capture, Attack, (which in my head is now AKA 'CCA') after the opening.
I found this video really helpful and informative - thank you ! :)
Decided to get back into chess. This was a nice tutorial to stumble across. Thank you!
Wow. This was really well done! Thank you.
I used to play chess a LOT years ago. Stopped and trying to pick it up but struggling early days so appreciate videos like this. Thank you
Excellent video , I learned a lot!!
sooo good. this is actually really helpful
Just subscribed to you, Anna! Nice video. Will watch more of your videos. I played competitive chess years ago but stopped. I'm not a master or anything. I hope to regularly play the game again. Videos like yours can certainly help me as I try to get some rust off.haha
Anna explains chess principles, tactics and strategies so effectively! I am learning so much with these tutorials.
Great teacher. I feel I'm learning because I was seeing some of the same moves you were seeing.
Not gonna lie I think I actually needed this. Thank you thank you for making this video. Especially since I’m a beginning player
Wild when she starts pre-playing moves at the end - makes you realize how fast her brain moves. So helpful to hear the narration, thank you Anna!
This was very helpful. I've seen it before, but I knew I needed to see it again.
Excellent, practical, instruction. And good cadence. Subscribed.
I would love more "education" on checks, captures, and attacks. For me, personally, every game I forget to do this, and I think it's the major thing that holds me back: consistency.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the great video. It was very well explained & a simple enough thought process for me to practice. One thing that I don't understand is why you took the knight with your queen at 16:28 then defended with the bishop. Wouldn't it be better to attack with the bishop first & have your queen take the other queen? Then when you took the rook, it would also be a check. Did you want to avoid putting the king in check at that point?
anna i love you! you actually take time to teach vs other channels and i really appreciate that.
Anna, although I have been playing a long time, your teachings are very refreshing and reinforces what I already know! I thank you for your energy, explanation of the Royal Game of Chess!
I love the video, very informative and easy to follow.
Thank you for your video! I find that you are an excellent communicator, making your thoughts understandable to even a beginner in chess. Subscribed!
Thanks for the recall of the check, capture or attack. I did not know this simple guideline that makes sense in fact. Hi from France 🇫🇷 Anna.
the way you explain things is next level, please keep bringing more videos like these
Very interesting, you are a great communicator, Anna, thank you!
