How can you not root for this young lady. She's bright and full of happiness. Such a great personality. Good luck young lady and keep us informed as I know you will.
I have been sick this weekend, I am not a chess player by any stretch, but I have found your channel, I have binge watched a bunch of your content, and you are such a bright light on the Internet. I never imagined I would subscribe to a chess channel, but this lady is a new fan of yours! Don’t ever lose that big smile of yours!
He's the only player in the tournament that has more points than Anna. Pretty awesome for the two of them to be so dominant considering there's some VERY strong players in the tournament.
I have to be honest: I live and breathe those vlogs so much. Your enthusiasm levels can't be matched and you are a volcano of energy! Everyday I'm looking forward to seeing another report from your adventures! : D I love the established formula for the edit of this video: the same intro, transitions, music, and the lovely outro (please keep it forever). Good luck and keep being you! :)
Pls participate more tournaments in the future !! I really like this kind of content. Congrats to your performance and thank you and Pia legendary commentary
"he was a fighter , a chess fighter . he didn't , you know , actually start fighting me , but like , you know on the chess board " - Anna is hilarious 🤣 . Anna also is a fighter . With the opening fiasco able to hold her opponent . 😊 . Great result and tournament Anna .
After pony fd7 (04:04) bish d3 is interesting, too. You have an easy game and the chance of e4 or f4-f5 later. After bish d6, bish xg6, bish g3+, king f1 and fxg6 the pawn on g6 is a target.
Sadly I missed the last game live streaming, waiting to see the analysis tomorrow, I loved to watch your tournaments never thought it would be so fun. Is always a joy to watch you!!
Because I'm just a meathead American that played American Football, Track, and Baseball. Im gonna need Anna to change that "If" i win today to "When" I win today. Idk if its the nature of chess. Maybe just not her personality. Not knocking her. Great Tourny overall and loving her mom's commentary. Just want that confidence in herself.
I was thinking about how much your mom must love being involved in these chess tournaments with you, and it cracked me up because she's kind of like a pageant mom but respectable😂
Wow, you played well with that terrible pawn structure the game reminded me of pawn storming positions in the Jobava London with Bf4 and no c4. Usually, in the Jobava Whites Bishop is exchanged on d3, and then Ne2 is played.
Word. I have never played chess and not had an interest. No idea how she showed up on my feed but I watched that one, and I was HOOKED. Still don't necessarily want to learn, but just like golf (which I also don't play but like to watch), I can appreciate the sheer skill and complexities. Understanding that, I can watch in awe, and that alone makes it SO interesting for me. Thank you, Anna, for being one of chess' best ambassadors. I'm completely interested now, thanks to you! Bless you and your exuberance!!
Iv said it before I love your analysis videos. I am now 50, i was never a chess player when young, I tried and failed. Could never step back and look, think, learn. I am learning so much from you. Thank you, You have such beautiful parents, and I love your energy. You make me laugh in every video. I am now playing and winning against 1600 - 1800 bots. Thank you.
Ana sleeps to 10:30.... ran to breakfast, went back to bed. "because the game started so early there was less time to prepare" 🙂! I'm sure being well rested was a good help 🙂! Great game Anna! love to see you doing so well, congratulations!
Everybody can play a good position, the real strength shows if you are in a bad position! The right mindset can make such a difference! Good luck for the rest of the tournament!
Nice comeback after these unlucky last opening moves. Your performance this tournament is quite impressive and I hope you can also enjoy Mallorca a bit. See you in the next one
I watched your several videos recently, and really like the music score that plays on 1:56. can you tell me the music credits? (titles, artists, etc) or is that your original score?
I don't know about this specific variation and I am certainly not that good at chess. But the f3 move is part of theory in similar positions with the bishop on f5 (usually the move order is h4 - f3 - g4, but it doesn't really matter). So it is often a good move and a move you should be prepared against. Here, where both c4 and d4 are played, I don't know, maybe it's not the best idea to weaken both flanks, but still, it's a thematic move.
16:14 Could you have maybe gone King d6, then no matter if he pushed the pawn or moved the rook to the corner, your next move would be rook e7. That way the rook is defending your pawn, threatening his, and if he pushes his pawn again, you can take his rook. If he takes your rook with his rook, you make your queen, if he doesn't and tries to defend his pawn, you make your queen, and he can't take the rook with his king cuz your king is defending it. I might be missing something though.
@@NichtWunderkind Muchas gracias, Aaron. Anna, estaría genial si cuando pase el torneo, haces un vídeo con tu padre comentando alguna de sus mejores partidas del torneo. Tus vídeos con él son buenísimos. Me encanta su estilo tan creativo de juego.
Tough to play chess, record, analyze, edit video, post is all while maintaining a smile and have positive energy. 😂😂😂 two tough games for me and I need to recuperate just on the couch here.😅
Well done Anna, you were brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed the competition, it had everything 👍🏻 and your dad was amazing too. Your mums commentary was accurate addictive and funny, i cannot wait for the next one, great content, lets go 👍🏻💜
@@iamrohitshahi. yeah, I wonder why it was never uploaded. I just checked out last week’s schedule and it does not list day 9 so I wonder if it was even streamed?
How does the format of these tournaments work? Looking at the standings, it seems like a few people (like Anna) are playing every round but other people have only played a few games (about half the people on the standings look like they've played 1 or 2 games while there are a half dozen who have played 8 or 9).
HI Anna, nice fight! I tought you are dead lost after the opening and the bad pawn structure. Btw: which sources do you use to prepare for your opponents?
Anna, is one of your goals to earn the Intonational Master rank? 🙃 I've been enjoying your Mom's commentary and your reviews of the games. Very glad to see you realize you have not found your upper limit. 🙂
I think her goal at the moment is the Women's International Master rank. She came close to a WIM norm in this tournament. 31 short in performance rating and didn't face quiet good enough opponents but its not too far from happening. A little luck in the pairings (A loss against a GM or IM instead of the loss she had and a draw against a WGM who had a poor tournament instead of one of her other draws) and she would have had a WIM norm.
How can you not root for this young lady. She's bright and full of happiness. Such a great personality.
Good luck young lady and keep us informed as I know you will.
I like how you say ‘young lady’ makes her seem old when she’s only like 23 years old, but I see what you mean 😅😂
@@MasterInHD wat
@@MasterInHD I think he's just trying to be respectful. Lots of bad apples in the chess community who don't take women seriously.
@@jeremiahbell6129 yeah, it’s nice too see how respectful he was
@@stoprightmeowww ???
I am SO looking forward to Anna's analysis on Day 9 game of the tournament.
Congratulations Anna, fantastic result in this tournament and amazing recaps every day!
I really like these tournament recaps and the streams with the analysis by your mom. Would really like to see more tournaments like this!

Your dad is doing tremendous ..... 5 wins and only 1 loss!
Good luck to all!
Wait what. Who's doing tremendous? Is her dad helping with the prep? Or with the video editing (the video editing is quite good this trip)
@@seheyt Her dad also plays in his tournament
He's the only player in the tournament that has more points than Anna. Pretty awesome for the two of them to be so dominant considering there's some VERY strong players in the tournament.

Anna has won me over. The teams I follow and root for are Anna Chess team ( mother to), OSU Buckeyes, Cincinnati Bengals.
With you on all, especially Team Anna, but… Buckeyes over Bearcats? Hmmm…
You did very well in the endgame which you claim being one of your big weaknesses. Kudos for recovering from a wobbly opening!
"he was a fighter , a chess fighter . he didn't , you know , actually start fighting me , but like , you know on the chess board " - Anna is hilarious 🤣 . Anna also is a fighter . With the opening fiasco able to hold her opponent . 😊 . Great result and tournament Anna .
Yes, she has a great sense of humor.
How, many, commas, are, to, many, ?
@@edwardtruong19 How many O's are too few?
@@linusisaca3708 This much. 😂
I absolutely love following you through this tournament! great job so far and good luck tomorrow!
Click 1:56 for super fast build mode.
I love Love LOVE that you keep the result a surprise to the end :)
After pony fd7 (04:04) bish d3 is interesting, too. You have an easy game and the chance of e4 or f4-f5 later. After bish d6, bish xg6, bish g3+, king f1 and fxg6 the pawn on g6 is a target.
Keep explaining the moves you make! I really like when you get deep into your decisions!!
What a battle! Great job, and thanks for the explanation. It really helps me improve 👍
Enhorabuena por ese torneazo! Muy buenas las partidas y muy finos tus finales! A seguir así!
Sadly I missed the last game live streaming, waiting to see the analysis tomorrow, I loved to watch your tournaments never thought it would be so fun. Is always a joy to watch you!!

Excellent job in another great comeback. I'm looking forward to your success in the next match.
Thank you for this recap and congrats on the draw! Can't wait to see Day 9!
A startling mature handling of a sophisticated position. It looked like a titled player with the white pieces. Bravo.
Wow, you played well with that terrible pawn structure the game reminded me of pawn storming positions in the Jobava London with Bf4 and no c4. Usually, in the Jobava Whites Bishop is exchanged on d3, and then Ne2 is played.
Good Game. Almost Invincible Anna. I hope you reach 2100+ soon.
Anna makes chess so interesting and fun even if you don't play it. Chess Princess.

Thank you, Anna, for being one of chess' best ambassadors. I'm completely interested now, thanks to you! Bless you and your exuberance!!
You are the very best at showing both the joy of chess as well as the struggle. How a player must be both an idealist as well as a realist.

That was fun. Thanks for taking us through it!
you are so Awesome!! Thank You for all of your excitement and your journey into the Chess World.
+40 rating points in one tournament is insane. That's really impressive.
Congratulations!!!!!!!!
Felicitaciones!!!!!!!!!
I love following this - I’m going to enroll back into tournament chess.
We are very proud of you,little BIG Anna!!!👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀❤️
Ana sleeps to 10:30.... ran to breakfast, went back to bed.
"because the game started so early there was less time to prepare" 🙂!
I'm sure being well rested was a good help 🙂!
Great game Anna! love to see you doing so well, congratulations!
Need to say, loving this saga
Thanks Anna, I really enjoy your recaps, well played 🙂
Very interesting! Congrats on the 40 points!
Excellent game!!! End game was superb! Congrats on the 40!!
An enthusiastic, authentic and effective ambassador of chess . . . and life!
I haven't played chess in years, but I find all of this highly entertaining!
this is a variation of the boiledfrog opening.....smooth)
Everybody can play a good position, the real strength shows if you are in a bad position!
The right mindset can make such a difference!
Good luck for the rest of the tournament!
Excellent video! You’re a fabulous chess fighter too. I love your outfit by the way ❤
Happiness as always. GG Anna and good luck for tomorrow.
Nice comeback after these unlucky last opening moves. Your performance this tournament is quite impressive and I hope you can also enjoy Mallorca a bit. See you in the next one
I remember hearing this live and Pia was so excited
Congratulations Anna. Looks like you are on your way to becoming a GM just like your parents 👍
Congratulation on your fight to the draw. Good luck tomorrow
For some reason I haven't been able to watch the last 3 games!! So sad but happy you are doing these recaps!!
"dark forces" were preventing you ?
Amazing performance all tournament Anna!!!
After non played move 8. Nge2 Bd6 9. b3! with light advanage for white is the best move.
Bishops are most vicious and concealed on line 2
I watched your several videos recently, and really like the music score that plays on 1:56. can you tell me the music credits? (titles, artists, etc)
or is that your original score?
Howling with Lupus Nocte
thanks dude.
I wish I could see the full game where you spoke with the opponent =)
Can you fall out if you lose ?
Good luck Anna and Papa, you are doing great ❤

Buena partida. ¿Podrías comentar alguna partida de tu padre? ¿qué tal le está yendo en el torneo? Juega un ajedrez espectacular.
Le fué muy bien, la ultima partida estaba ganada para el pero se le escapó por poco y fueron tablas

Hi Anna, I was looking forward to your post today :) love ya ❤ Good luck for Tomorrow!
Congratulations! Tough one.
I think Anna is the happiest person on the planet 😊
love the positive energy!
Tough to play chess, record, analyze, edit video, post is all while maintaining a smile and have positive energy. 😂😂😂 two tough games for me and I need to recuperate just on the couch here.😅
Vicious and magical bishops
Nice moves when your opponent fought till the end. Good luck tomorrow
Well done Anna, you were brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed the competition, it had everything 👍🏻 and your dad was amazing too.
Your mums commentary was accurate addictive and funny, i cannot wait for the next one, great content, lets go 👍🏻💜
Congratulations!! I’m diggin chess (again) bc of you-thanks! Good luck going forward!! 🐮🐮🐮🐮
Great videos
Congratulations to the family for the great result! You should show papa's best game.
Congratulations!
You rock. I love your videos!
Bishops are tough. Knights are a terror in the end game.
What a beautiful gesture from the young boy who bought you the cow 😅 and gave you the photo, just fantastic 👍🏻
Just wait ..I'm inventing a time machine...one day..🙃💕
LOVE that Rook maneuver in the endgame.
I've actually met Gabriel Voiteanu in my last tournament,very cool guy
love this channel.
Wish we could see round 9.
Twitch?
@@iamrohitshahi.not on Twitch yet. The game was over before I woke up this morning so I really hope it is uploaded so I can listen to Pia’s analysis.
@@Ozzy.Kopec1 I don't know much about Twitch so I thought videos were available as soon as the livestream ends.
@@iamrohitshahi. yeah, I wonder why it was never uploaded. I just checked out last week’s schedule and it does not list day 9 so I wonder if it was even streamed?
@@Ozzy.Kopec1 It is not in Schedule. Normally you can see the past streams there.

I think u did good because of the speedrun you did days before the tournament
HI Anna, nice fight! I tought you are dead lost after the opening and the bad pawn structure. Btw: which sources do you use to prepare for your opponents?
0:54 For 28C? That's winter in Chennai lol.
Well done! Be brave, be smart and good luck tomorrow
Do you edit these videos yourself (during this tournament) or do you have an editor?
very good game Anna. Pushing even for the draw.
Let's go playing vs a Romanian! I am Romanian ❤🇷🇴
Good luck Anna!
Exciting!!!
Anna, is one of your goals to earn the Intonational Master rank? 🙃
I've been enjoying your Mom's commentary and your reviews of the games. Very glad to see you realize you have not found your upper limit. 🙂
I think her goal at the moment is the Women's International Master rank.
She came close to a WIM norm in this tournament. 31 short in performance rating and didn't face quiet good enough opponents but its not too far from happening.
A little luck in the pairings (A loss against a GM or IM instead of the loss she had and a draw against a WGM who had a poor tournament instead of one of her other draws) and she would have had a WIM norm.
I'm at "vicious bishop" part. Anna either smoked or drank something holy fk.
Anna. You are amazing in every way!! You are a winner😁💯🇺🇸🫶
15:31 you could have just played Ra6+ Kxg7 Rxg6 and it’s a dead draw. Would have been easier, but you played an awesome game 👍🏻
20 degrees with sunscreen on ... *chuckles in Australian*
Whats the outro song called?
How much elo do you think you will gain after this tournament?
