    Marvellous. I played you in Gibraltar in 2011, two years after that game. You were 8 years old (I was 47!). My ELO was 1470 and you still had no rating. You played some great moves - I won in the end but I remember having a very hard battle and having to sacrifice the exchange in the middlegame to break through. I remember telling my friends afterwards that I had just played a child who showed great promise and how right I was. Wonderful to see you doing so well as a streamer - your passion for the game (and for life itself) is obvious to all.

      @K GC it's almost certainly true, there are very few FIDE rated tournaments, its a pretty small world. Thats why at the tournament in Iceland a few weeks ago Botez, Cramling, and Rosen were all there, even though it seems wierd that 3 of them independently would go. And the details are pretty specific

    This young lady has a very healthy mental attitude. She can laugh at her childhood and share those memories with others. Credit that to having great parents! Not just in the past, but they are still there for her and supporting her in her adult life. Anyone who has seen the videos of her with her parents will understand. Thanks Anna!

  • @manakin5
    @manakin5 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I think it's really impressive that you went from being down a knight and bishop to just getting into a position where you had mate in 1, mate in 2 positions repeatedly. Being 6 years old is a pretty solid excuse for missing the checkmates...I certainly would not have been able to play that strongly at that age, and I probably still can't do it today!
