    When I was in the first grade (6 y/o) I learned to play chess and taught my two year younger brother. A year or two later (he was 5 or 6 and I was 7 or 8) we were at my uncles house and asked if we could play chess (the grown ups were conversing at the table). Some time later he comment to my father that is was cute to see us acting like we were playing a real game. My father assure him we were actually playing and we were brutal. He watched a few minutes and asked to play the winner.
    I won and we reset the board. He was check mated in 5 moves and blown away. He never made that open again.
    Great memories.

    White crumbling in the second game is actually a really good example of what happens if you do not have a plan. From early in the middle game white was aimless and entirely reactive. Cramling’s superior skill allowed her to dictate the play; all black could do is sorrowfully follow in white’s wake toward its execution block.

      I've watched a few of these. Why do the titles always imply that Anna is playing against some sort of Hustler or Scammer? That never seems to be the case. Certainly, there's the marketing hitch of representing the anticipation of comeuppance for an unworthy immoral Hustler (a.k.a. Clickbait). Really though, her competitors always seem to be gracious and friendly, and always losers. Is it that she's proclaiming herself a Hustler! She's an engaging young lady, her opponents colorful, and the games are interesting. I don't see why deception is necessary.

That's when he checked out. It's a great lesson in reading body-language.

I don't like sweets so I told him I'd do fruits or veggies in exchange, and if I had a problem with anyone, he would make sure that nobody else jumped in the middle of the fight. He was an OG. Reminded me of Tupac. He agreed.

      There's a point when he pauses to break the speed of the game - she's responding to his pace with better positional moves and that wasn't part of his plan. The anxiety knee wiggle, the looks around and even the reaching over to touch and reposition her pieces. When the penny drops he's 0-1 and in a positional dead end in the mid-game of the second game. Such a wonderful journey through his emotions leading to that dawning reality of "Oh Jeez...she's better than me"

      @xenaguy01 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You can take as much time as you like for each move.
      *BUT* . . .
      Each player has a time limit for the game (in this case, 3 minutes total for each player). In this game, the clock is the blue/white box with the double set of digital numbers, one side for each player. Each player hits their button on top of the clock after their move, which stops their countdown and resumes their opponent's. If one player's time expires (your clock runs out), that player loses the game on time.
      This is why you see players move quickly, and slap the clock immediately after.

      @@hifinsword _"it sounds like the player that can move the fastest wins."_
      Nope. If you can checkmate the opponent's King within 3 minutes, you win. If *no one* checkmates before one player's clock runs out, the player with time remaining wins. You can win with 1 second left, if you checkmate.
      _"unless ... you can win in less than 3 minutes, there is no chess skill involved."_
      Also not correct. As one's skill increases, one's ability to move more rapidly also increases. Because one does not have to think as long for each move. Especially in the opening, where a series of moves can be memorized, and played very rapidly.

      Lots of small variations exist, but king and rook _easily_ beats king and knight in the end game. (Not to mention you cannot checkmate with king and knight, so a pawn would have to be promoted to win, and that won’t happen on this board.)

It seems bizarre that someone who describes hubris as "playful trashtalk" [sic] would talk about a "weird choice of words". I guess it depends on culture. I'm used to seeing cultured chess masters with MANNERS AND CLASS. "Class" means humility despite being an almost indomitable master. It means winning gracefully, as opposed to being arrogant by rubbing an opponents nose in a defeat. I've played many chess games and won most, and I can honestly say that I have never trashed other people. Conversely, I've lost chess matches to admirable players who didn't feel the need to denigrate me just because they won a match, and those are, frankly, the people that I respect the most!! Judging by *YOUR* "choice of words," these are things that you most likely wouldn't understand.

You've highlighted your own success in chess and the respect you've garnered, while simultaneously criticizing Anna for doing the same, albeit in a more playful and perhaps theatrical context. Isn't it possible that you, too, are showcasing a form of hubris by dismissing others' interpretations of what constitutes "class" and "manners"?

    I last played as a sophomore in HS. I'm now 56. I was board 3 on the chess club. Between the groupies and the partying afterward, it got to be too much for me. LOL. This has inspired me to take it back up so I can teach my granddaughter as she gets older. It is time to start reading up on strategy.
