Your Mom is still one of the best female players in the world, and almost 60 - that is incredible and unbelievable! - she is the most impressive female chess player besides Judit!
18:30 Competent in her own right, like the way Anna still looks at her mom with respect and admiration, open to learn. Modest despite her own capability and fame, will serve her well on her journey.
Pia is like those old characters in anime. When they are aged and have white hair, best believe they are monsters. She is so calm with it too because she knows how good she is.
Man these two are too adorable and obviously so informative. Anna's the cutest and Pia's the sweetest and it's just a privilege to watch them compare and contrast their thought process and personalities.
I saw Pia first time in Groningen (NL) playing at the European youth chess championship somewhere in the 80ties.. a long time ago, she had more or less same age as Anna now. I will never forget the small, calm girl she was, compared to all the boys she was competing with. Great player!
I just found your channel randomly and I must say, seeing you play with your parents and the passion you obviously share with them is so endearing. You got have a new fan!
It was great to hear your mom's advice on what you could improve on. Would love to see these matches continue, perhaps with a bit of analysis of some critical moves after a game has concluded.
That would be quite the contrast - a brash loud-mouthed trash-talking guy and then Pia calmly soft-voiced tearing him to pieces while explaining her thinking... ...you made le laugh too much!
As a London player game 4 was really informative and fun to watch. Especially because I'm really trying to perfect the London opening (which is the first real opening I learned) before trying to memorize a bunch of other theoretical openings. Thank you Anna and Pia!!
You are blessed to have a wonderful mentor and player in your mom. I used to play my dad all the time until college, when I went down a piece but then forced a draw through perpetual check - the first time he ever played me serious and _didn't_ win. He was never "in the mood" to play against me since, which was unfortunate - but we recently reconciled that, I think. A little before he turned 80 this past July, the topic came up, and I told him this: dad, you do realize, even if you continued to play me and lost, you still won, right? He was like, how so? I said, remember, you're the one who taught me that one of the objectives of a parent is for their offspring to do (on average) a little better than themselves. So if by practicing against you, I eventually learned to beat you, you still won in that respect. I'm _supposed_ to exceed your accomplishments, remember? At least I got a chuckle out of him... As for you, I wouldn't be too disappointed in not being able to defeat one of the best grandmasters of her time on the regular. When that power/achievement graph starts pushing the upper limit... It's kind of like someone getting 5 perfect test scores in a row - hard to match, let alone beat (now you need 6 minimum), hence upper limit. At that point, being competitive with such a person is itself a great achievement. And, after all, you _did_ take one game...! ;-)
Parents should be happy for their kids when they excel at something, even if it requires seeing yourself beaten. Else how would you expect them to excel at anything ever? It seems abit to me that your dad stunted your growth by ceasing to play with you, instead of praising your development
Against your mom, or anyone strong, you need to control the clock better. You had your chances but was always low on time. Very nice video! Love seeing your mom in videos!
Your mom reminds me so much of my grandmother☺️ So similar the look, the calm way and I also played with her chess often when I was young. Missing her a lot when I see that..
It was a delight to watch this! I'd love to see this with 10min games. 5min games always end up with someone (the one with the lowest rating usually) losing from time which a pity cause we never get to see end-games.
I am an old guy now. I really enjoy your videos. The thing I like the most is that you tell us what you are thinking. It's very helpful to those of us that are bad at chess. I used to play a game every night when I was in the army. He won EVERY game. But he never let me know what I was doing wrong. You're a breath of fresh air. Thanx.
Playing with your kid is a feeling that cannot be described, even more intense of a feeling when they finally win against you. I hope Anna knows how fortunate she is that this is the mother she has. The moment I won a game against my mother(I was 6-7), she never played with me again. She hated losing more than she loved me winning. Her mother teaches her and goes for the weak spot to teach her to practice the things she hates most, because that's exactly what her opponent will try to do
@@Dr_Eam973 She also just has zero chance of making it. She is a good player and should be proud of being a WFM but a 20 year old 2000 ELO player has zero chance of becoming a GM.
@@thebiglebrowski3695 still doable. It would take some sacrifices and may not be worth it for her. I have a friend that's higher than her, older than her, and he is still steadily climbing.
@@tonyl7000 Nah, it isn't. She is absolutely miles away from being a GM. An adult cannot make up that gap no matter how hard they try, they simply lack the learning capacity. If you aren't 2300 by 16 then good luck ever getting to GM.
this is the best youtube chess video i have ever seen. it teaches a lot. not the chess side of view, either. firstly the experience is a rock you cannot move. Your mother represents past but She has far more greater experience. and her focus never changes she doesnt get nervous or too much excited when she losts her advantages. when you are on stage this is a strong weapon that you can easily count on.thanks for this great lesson in life.
it's amazing that 30 years ago, I only imagine able to dig into non-competition side of chess player I admired, and now I can watched all of them every day. the golden age of chess actually just begin (?)
Unsurprisingly, your mom gave you very god advice. When I was a kid my mother taught me to play, and within a few weeks I could beat her every game. But I think your learning curve in order to do the same is quite a bit steeper.
at that age she still thinks clearly. And has more time on the clock. Her years of experience with chess defines every move she makes. I love how your mom play. more of logic than instinct. I like how you play chess too, engaging and not too deep. Sometimes when I play I tend to over think .
@@chriskeith5742 normally there should be a decline in thinking at 59. Though some would deny they are declining. But with her mother those are memories of games she played plus of course the new lines she would have to analyze.

Your mom has a peculiar way of trash talking. She's calm, polite and provides a lot of interesting insights during the game.
It’s the mid match coaching for me😂
It's scary in its own way though, isnt it? Like a Dr. explaining the surgery as she performs it.
@@xezazase I know right? Like she's kicked Anna's butt so many times before its just a routine procedure now.
Doesn’t come across as trash talking at all. It’s the mother daughter relationship. just a mom teaching her daughter. Very cool.
Trash talking?r u dumb or deaf.
Mum talks on Anna's turn.
Anna talks on Anna's turn.
GM strategy right there 🙃
Indeed! 😀
Anna does allow it Though
im pretty sure anna does it on purpose, because she respects her mom and rather her own time wasting than her moms
So everyone talks on Anna's turn and everyone is silent on Pia's turn?
well it’s hard to talk during pias turn when it last for half a second!
its such a striking differance from Anna's loud and enthusiastic voice to Pia's calm and quiet voice
In time Anna will change to the same…
@@carlsidgwick5854 I think Anna just takes after her dad more in that way. It's pretty adorable imo.
youtube things.
Anna is an ENTP, her mom is probably INTP.
Pia está en otra galaxia, no hay color..
Your mom is a treasure, definitely make more videos with her
Your Mom is an incredible woman in many ways...you are very lucky
sus
@@karlwithak1835 fyi they switched sides between games
Pia Cramling is a legend!
Would love to see your Mom analyze some of what she considers to be her best games
THIS.
Your Mom is still one of the best female players in the world, and almost 60 - that is incredible and unbelievable! - she is the most impressive female chess player besides Judit!
She is like the female version of Anand!
She’s trying to beat Korchnoi’s record. He beat Fabiano Caruana with the black pieces at 80 years old.
Pia is indeed a legend. She has such a great chess understanding.
@@metatronyYT If only Pia's microphone had more volume(seems as if My hearing is diminishing).
I would Love to see a game of she vs Judith Polgar that would be súper hardcore
Pia has the excellent strategy of hypnotizing Anna with here voice for 18-20 seconds at a time!
I notice that Pia talks during Anna's time... as does Anna. That's how Anna uses 10x as much time as her mom.
Love when Pia says "very logical" it feels so satisfying somehow haha
This is very logical move :D
More video with Pia. Her sweet voice is perfect to learn how to progress in chess.
Pia is definitly one of my favorite human beings right now.
She is the definition of no fancy stuff, just solid buisness.
I absolutely love how Pia is explaining her strategy, moves and thoughts as she plays.
18:30 Competent in her own right, like the way Anna still looks at her mom with respect and admiration, open to learn. Modest despite her own capability and fame, will serve her well on her journey.
Anna: “I wish you good luck.”
Mom: “I don’t need luck…”
Savage
When ?😂
Her mum is so wholesome; they both are actually. I really enjoy watching you play against your mother.
Pia is like those old characters in anime. When they are aged and have white hair, best believe they are monsters. She is so calm with it too because she knows how good she is.
Delightful. Love the running commentary like Mom is helping her daughter. Man are they intelligent. So tantalizing
Pia is amazing at explaning moves while Annas Time is running down :D
Man these two are too adorable and obviously so informative. Anna's the cutest and Pia's the sweetest and it's just a privilege to watch them compare and contrast their thought process and personalities.

Lekker hoor in die pracht stad
nice
Groningen is a city in the northern Netherlands.
@@richard9492 The Netherlands is a country in Northwestern Europe.
Lol
Pía is not just a grandmaster, but a legend. Loved this video.
I absolutely love your Mum. She has so much knowledge, and they way you can see just how much she loves the game.
The best part is that she has a strong and loving relationship with her mom.
Lol very entertaining watching your mom explaining her plans as she gentilly destroys you😆 reminds me of when my dad taught me chess
Pia MUST do a ASMR Chess Channel. It's imperative
The Bob Ross of chess
Hell yeah
@@LizaFan exactly what I was thinking 😅
LoL, yes.
Absolutely!
You have a really nice family. Love the videos with your parents. God bless them.
love when Pia talks chess. It gets me excited to learn. She is so good at explaining here reasoning and view.
Pia is so jentile ans patient and Anna is so respecfull and sensitive great job on the winning game!! This is such a sweet family 💗 love is felt

That would be quite the contrast - a brash loud-mouthed trash-talking guy and then Pia calmly soft-voiced tearing him to pieces while explaining her thinking...
...you made le laugh too much!
That would be fun!
I second this
I want to see some money change hands, into GM Pia's pockets
@@KitagumaIgen there are a couple of those vids on anna's channel
Love the relationship between mother and daughter, their contrasting personalities balance one another!
Pia is so sweet, she always tries to help Anna a bit, even when they´re competing.
As a London player game 4 was really informative and fun to watch. Especially because I'm really trying to perfect the London opening (which is the first real opening I learned) before trying to memorize a bunch of other theoretical openings. Thank you Anna and Pia!!
it was so cute how she asked her mother for advice about a move. Her mother is still the master and the student has not taken over yet...
The student will never take over. Pia is a ridiculously good chess player.
Eventually her mother will reach 80. They lose quick thinking as they get older then student will take over
Your mum is so calm and inspirational at the same time 😀
You are blessed to have a wonderful mentor and player in your mom.

I like how momma gm answers your tactics with active counter tactics.. very instructional
I love you two! Anna and Pia, you are so humble and intelligent woman!
Mom had some good advice about protection and patience and preparation before attacking.
You’re so lucky to have the mom you do! Love these videos
Oh this was helpful 😊 I really like the mom she does talk things through. It's great that it's not just silence
“Mom you know i hate the French”
Its sounds like a little kid saying “I dont wanna goooooo” “NOOOOOOOO”
I absolutely love how her mum thinks completely out loud from start to finish, such a joy to watch
Your mom is so calm. Anna is not jumping anymore.
Your mom is so kind and patient with you and always willing to try and help you out with alternative moves or theories she has. You're so Lucky Anna
Your mom is so adorable. I love these videos :)
They both say "I will" in the same unique way before announcing their moves 🤣
A mother's nurturing a daughter in a GM way. 😉
Really calm and soothing
your mum is so sweet :) love the content :) her voice is so soft but love when she is muttering to herself with her tactics :)
Big salute to your mom, keep make videos as series with your mom, I really enjoyed and felt a member of your family. Thank you so much.
Me watching Anna's chess game on my laptop in Paris.
Anna's first line: "Mom, you know I hate the french" ...
Me getting back to work.
Our teacher's teacher makes it seems so easy
It was a delight to watch this! I'd love to see this with 10min games. 5min games always end up with someone (the one with the lowest rating usually) losing from time which a pity cause we never get to see end-games.
Am a really huge fan of yours Anna, am watching from Africa, Zambia, I aspire to be just as good as you ✌️
Your mom is so sweet and lovely. Great family!
She’s so poised in her play.I definitely love her!❤
The family resemblance here is incredible.. their faces are exactly the same!!! such a nice mom/daughter relationship ❤
how lucky to have parents to play at the highest level

Great job, Anna, persevering and getting a win on the third game! Very inspiring reminder to always try your best even with the odds against you.
Pia is so calm and friendly that I think she would accept a draw in a dominant position.
The fact your mom is so soft spoken makes her that much more terrifying!
I love that your mom got so excited when you won
Pia is a legend.
This is such a sweet conversation 🥹🥹
Anna is such a sweet soul, and her mom is so warm and calm ❤️🥰
"Mom, you know I hate the French" Best line ever.
The gentle art of trash talk from GM Pia is entertaining, her calming voice is deceiving
You mom sees like 3 moves ahead of what I’m seeing. Incredible
Playing with your kid is a feeling that cannot be described, even more intense of a feeling when they finally win against you. I hope Anna knows how fortunate she is that this is the mother she has.

Thanks for teaching me basic chess, what do I owe you.😃
No one wins or loses as gracefully as Anna
Anna you must become a grandmaster.
Juan is wicked
Pia is a quiet genius
What a pedigree
The streaming career is more profitable, less stressful and definitely more enjoyable than going for the GM life
Expectations can be such a stressor on someone’s life. She is doing a great job of growing the game. That’s more important, if you ask me.

Haha Mom’s a Legend!! Grandmaster Legend!
That is a true parent. Mom is playing and teaching her daughter... to sweet.
I can't even begin to imagine how hard it is to become a Grandmaster. Love the video !!! Thank you so much.
I feel like for the average person it's almost physically impossible, GMs are just wired differently! But I'm no expert so what do i know
dont let your quin die and you be fine.
At 14:17 i love the fact that you can castle as black and get a really good position from this dangerous opening.
0:59 French people: ._.
Lol we love you the French

Congratulations, Pia! Well played, Anna!
Now, we need to present Anna's mom in front of Hikaru
She's not at her peak shape now, while Hikaru might be. Could be interesting though
I really enjoy your Mother, and how she is. She is such a nice person.
I can't believe how Pia is so good at chess and smart, It's like aging didn't affect her skills at all.
Your mom has such a relaxing voice. Thanks for having her on.
the sweetest mother dougter time =D
If Anna came as a dough I would be baking more often.
