She obviously isn't fully aware that people don't pay attention to her just because of her chess skills! Lol 😅She is a 💎. I'm Simping totally and fully!
He said he wanted you to win and by the rules of the tournament he'd buy you a drink, and he kept complimenting you. I think it's safe to say he was flirting. xD
He sort of flirting. He definitely likes you, but I think he's also trying to be respectful. But be looks at you almost as much as he looks at the board haha
@@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool If I was thirty years younger, I'd be drooling hahaha. But from my perspective, she's a kid :-) I find her mum pretty hot though HAHA
I got that from this too. He is likely interested, but wants to not overstep since doing so might make her feel uncomfortable, or ruin their fun chess game.
så kul att se dig spela och höra dig prata. tänkte själv lite annorlunda två gånger men det ger mig en glad inblick i andras tankar. underbart tillskott att ha dig att kika på ibland på youtube
I always loved hearing more of the table banter in these kind of videos you do. I would say a mix between more table banter and your commentary would be just 👌❤. Just my .02!😁
He did a dozen psychological tactics it was so cool to watch. The first was the obvious... I call it to drop your guard. In a fight, everyone have their own fighting stance. But, mostly all, exceptions are the masters, is to keep your guard up and your mind prepared. By being charming, complementing, almost like a nice friend or appear to be relax like... I want you to win... cheering for you, drops one's guard down and sometimes confuses you. That was the most outstanding approach I saw. There are others I found neat. Notice he changed when you complemented him and he responded... don't worry... He's not in the mindset as you thought earlier.
Such a funny moment at 20:05 he plays his pawn and watch what he does after that. He already takes a queen for exchanging it the next move.. But he totally did not expect your bishop. Look his reaction..
I’ve become interested in chess again, but it’s through her kind, generous and positive personality. If Anna wasn't such a nice person I doubt I would have continued to watch chess TH-cam. I watch other chess players/commentators occasionally, but I always come back to Anna. I sometimes even just listen instead of watching the board, to bring her positivity into my life as I do other things.
not into chess myself, too much, but I love to watch Anna playing.... she is always smiling and you can feel her intense love for the game! great videos, with amazing ambient music
I like watching you play chess so I can learn to be a better player but I always come out of the videos more confused then I was going in. You are just on a whole different level. lol.
The Italian guy obviously likes Anna, but also respects her. I am enjoying the video so much and the narration ❤ Anna is not that into him though, but she is threatened by him and is just seeing him as the chess opponent 😆😜 Omg just watched till the end - I need to see the tie breaker game! So thrilling!
11:22 I have 3 Chess Ties: 1 is a Knight with Devil horns, shouting "CHESS!" and with little rubin coloured eyes and two in different colours from cartoonist Mordillo: Two players in the middle of a theatre.
21:16 you should put your King at a5, and the only his king can go is b7. The use the pawn to promote, and when he takes the queen move the king to a6 and use the other pawn to promote.
Stumbled across your channel. Used to be an active chess player years ago. It brought back memories. And you are very charming. I hope you kick lots of ass!
Chess aside, it's so much fun to see the guys and how they treat you Anna. You're a very attractive woman and I love hearing and watching how they react to playing a beautiful, and of course talented, woman. I've noticed him watching you in the other videos and he likes you. A bunch... :) Blue is my fave color. I have killer blue eyes and blue helps. LOL Look at the muscles on the guy! Jeez! And for gods sake yes, we wanna see who won. LOL
From 21:00 White King goes to f6 then if the Black King goes g8 then WK goes to g6 and now the black pawn must go forward... so you move your pawn to h7 CHECK MATE!
Stalemate, probably a reasonable result all considered...the enigmatic Italian guy...once I met a fellow born in Italy I think and lived in Germany traveling in NZ, usually in those days I didn't play casual games but he kept on.... usually these people are not good but the young fellow beat me in three games! He was talented for sure and or I am bad but he only played casually now and then....Always entertaining to see Anna....drinking I don't indulge in at all....I like to be sober always and alert....but such is life.
I like civilized players who are polite. Trash talkers are juvenile, childish, infantile. Doesn't matter if they're just rudely mouthy or if they're deliberately applying calculated psychological pressure. Show some respect to the players and to the game. Bad sportsmen get kicked out of any other kind of game, why are they tolerated in Chess?
Go get it Anna. This is my second time watching you in the wee hours of Wednesday Oct 2 2024. And I know I will definitely enjoy you and how you will wallop the Italian. Hehe. I'm your big fan now.
I’m stangely invested in this super low key tournament
Hahaha, me too! :D This is probably the most games in one tournament that I have ever watched! 😅
Same! These videos are great, I'm just watching through them now.
lol yeah. She plays it like you see in the movies, right down to the last few seconds!
“I had no idea why he was complimenting me” It’s called flirting 😂
Exactly. He's been keen ever since the 11 year old girl game.
If he really is Italian... He must flirt like a boss. We are the best in this field 😂😂😂
She obviously isn't fully aware that people don't pay attention to her just because of her chess skills! Lol 😅She is a 💎. I'm Simping totally and fully!
@@Fuzcapp hahah I remember he kept looking over during their game
He definitely was crushing on you
Time is Anna's nemesis.
Mine TOO maybe Its something about us Swedes... lol
Nahh, shes a lazy girl😂
In the end we will all lose to time.
@@MrTJansen A deeply satisfying comment on long term perspective. Thank you!
Anna, you can’t be that clueless. This guy likes you! No, he really likes you and he seems to be a gentleman also!
Que guapo él y que hermosa ella ojalá que pudieran ser pareja, aunque ya no confío en los guapos
I agree. They should date
Anna it is easy to understand he likes you. . You are fun, intelligent, and beautiful
I do
"I want you to win". Anna he´s OBVIOUSLY filtring.
Ah, yes... filtring. That's Italian for "tune out her charms and focus on the game".
Excellent!
Too old??
He obviously play chess to LOSE, not to win😂
But, to lose YOU, not any other people😂😂😂
He said he wanted you to win and by the rules of the tournament he'd buy you a drink, and he kept complimenting you. I think it's safe to say he was flirting. xD
Yea i was just starting at his biceps for 22 minutes.
haha is this guy a perfect human being? handsome, muscly and strategically clever!
Oh yeah.
Starting what?
@@morbillionaire2785”at his biceps for 22 mins”
He’s so my type
funny how she's a master in chess but a amateur in romance or atleast oblivious to flirting :'D
It's straight bizarre (because she's also cute)
Anna "why is this attractive Italian guy being so nice to me??"
🤦♀️
This liturally got me to bust out laughing.
Too old?
@@georgecarlin2656wtf 🤮
That's the "LEARNING POINT" of this match😂
A very simplified and condensed argument would be: "two reasons".
Feels good to see somebody be so tender and cuddly, as opposed to the many offensive „trash talkers“
They would make a good couple, talk about missed opportunities.
17:35 is very hostile by him. Do I have checks? You are a pawn up... But do I have checks or not is my question?? Like chill dude. So weird.
You don't know that @@georgecarlin2656
He sort of flirting. He definitely likes you, but I think he's also trying to be respectful. But be looks at you almost as much as he looks at the board haha
When there is something nice to look at.. what else would you do ?
Who can blame him haha. Anna is hot.
@@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool If I was thirty years younger, I'd be drooling hahaha. But from my perspective, she's a kid :-) I find her mum pretty hot though HAHA
I got that from this too. He is likely interested, but wants to not overstep since doing so might make her feel uncomfortable, or ruin their fun chess game.
@@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool
She's also pretty generous with that cleavage.
She wanted to make it to the finals and he wanted to make it to first base 😂
LMAO
made me choke on the drink
I need to see the finals now.
Of COURSE Anna! This is so thrilling I HAVE to see next game. And I want to see you in the final.
Anna is creating a kind of authentic documentary/visuamedia/etc genre. I love it!
“So I started getting really stressed.”
That’s what the pints are for!
He’s not flirting, he’s Italian!That’s just the natural Italian behaviour 😂
The natural Italian behavior IS flirting!
@@tmanwattsutubeLooks like a body-builder. I doubt flirting w/Anna is effective. She's gonna flirt w/Her S/O
I just made that up. I don't know Anna.
ngl id be more than flirting lol.
I'm italian and that's flirting
så kul att se dig spela och höra dig prata. tänkte själv lite annorlunda två gånger men det ger mig en glad inblick i andras tankar. underbart tillskott att ha dig att kika på ibland på youtube
WoW! My heart was racing during those last few moves. Phew!
I always loved hearing more of the table banter in these kind of videos you do. I would say a mix between more table banter and your commentary would be just 👌❤. Just my .02!😁
13:50 "You know they say it's forced, right?" lmao
Is it?
@@Nerf_Feitz whenever you get a chance, you do en passant
Its a joke meme that goes around. They even go as far with the joke with- "mate in 1? or en passant? hmmmmm"@@Nerf_Feitz
@@Nerf_FeitzNo but can you really resist?
@@DanielWillen ah I get it. Yeah sometimes it feels right to do it even though it’s dumb👌
Compliments are, like trash talk, a way to get into your opponent's head
He did a dozen psychological tactics it was so cool to watch. The first was the obvious... I call it to drop your guard. In a fight, everyone have their own fighting stance. But, mostly all, exceptions are the masters, is to keep your guard up and your mind prepared. By being charming, complementing, almost like a nice friend or appear to be relax like...

Notice he changed when you complemented him and he responded... don't worry... He's not in the mindset as you thought earlier.
that ending was awesome--the speed of thought and movement from both of you and having to click a feckin clock in between lol
Such a funny moment at 20:05 he plays his pawn and watch what he does after that. He already takes a queen for exchanging it the next move.. But he totally did not expect your bishop. Look his reaction..
Well observed!
This is a really fun tournament, can't wait for the tiebreak game! It's great seeing people being competitive and having fun at the same time.
I'm not interested in chess but her videos have such a nice vibe and so many interesting people.

@@ariadnepyanfar1048
Same here.
Yeah exactly I have no idea what is happening but she is nice so 🤷🏾♀️
14:14 with the serious music 😭😭 "is that guy holding a balloon" LMAO
"is that guy holding a balloon by the way?" had me dead😂😂 i love your commentary
YES! Of course we wanna see the 5 minute game!
That was amazing, can't wait to see the next game!
That ending was so chaotic with all everything falling over every single move.
He's gone all Machiavellian on you to lull you into a false sense of security ... he wants to crush show at the table!
I agree. Just trying to shark Anna’s game!
Such great commentary! I can’t believe how much I’m learning about chess from your channel.
0:41 Levy vs Svidler in the background
@suryaraghavchess it's a joke
gothamsyndromedownchess
Gotham chess from offer up
what's the joke?@@zNareak
Chess is a game of intellect.
But Chess is not a game of good posture.
not into chess myself, too much, but I love to watch Anna playing.... she is always smiling and you can feel her intense love for the game!
great videos, with amazing ambient music
great editing and commentary. i haven't seen this combo before
Post the tie breaker game right now! lol I feel like I’m watching my favorite show and need to see the next episode!
I like watching you play chess so I can learn to be a better player but I always come out of the videos more confused then I was going in. You are just on a whole different level. lol.
16:49 Look how they both get closer to the board at this point. Getting intense!
19:45 wasn’t Bf4 played instead of Bg5 ? Also clutch draw in the end which I enjoyed as it could have been a loss in time!
Those final 2 minutes of the game were amazing to watch!
anna always getting stronger at the ens of her time lol
she reminds me of us the one's who procrastinate everything to the last minute
Of course we want to see the next round!!!! This is the best content since Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s!
"♫ Someone's got a cru-hush! ♫" Even working towards a draw so he could play Cramling again. Kudos!
Looking forward to the next one
What a Game... a Great One.. Good luck and enjoy
look forward to the tie breaker! post it.
awesome series! Instructive and entertaining - love it. pls more :)
The Italian guy obviously likes Anna, but also respects her. I am enjoying the video so much and the narration ❤
Anna is not that into him though, but she is threatened by him and is just seeing him as the chess opponent 😆😜
Omg just watched till the end - I need to see the tie breaker game! So thrilling!
Maybe she is…but in this moment she was too focused on the game.
14:18 😭😭I love how she doesn’t know what balloons are for in the uk
For smart whip (N2O) . It gets you high for a short moment, a bit like laughing gas.
Anna....quit wasting time early in the game. It always comes back to haunt you.
Of course I want to see the development and, preferencially, see you moving on to top.
Beer can cloud your judgement. Careful, Anna.
11:22 I have 3 Chess Ties: 1 is a Knight with Devil horns, shouting "CHESS!" and with little rubin coloured eyes and two in different colours from cartoonist Mordillo: Two players in the middle of a theatre.
That was an exciting game. Please publish the tie breaker game.
21:16 you should put your King at a5, and the only his king can go is b7. The use the pawn to promote, and when he takes the queen move the king to a6 and use the other pawn to promote.
At first I thought he simping, but he's actually just a really nice guy.
As an italian, the guys was not flirting at all. He knows Anna’s channel and so he knows her power. So he gives her
dang ! that was Exciting !
of course show the next game please, cheers and peace and positivity to everyone.
~ Observing Intellectuals in the wild Flirting is adorable
Show us the next game please, thanks for the recap... As a few, that tournament gets quite an attention
I couldn't decide if the chess or the flirting was more intense. Such a fun match to watch
OMG the suspense!
11:42 Your outside Anna! It's not a room. 🙂
love the added music, subtle and eerie
In the words of Phoebe Buffay, “Well hello Mr. Bicep”
great game Anna - loved the abstract thinking!
“I had no idea why he was complimenting me”
Seriously, you CANNOT be THAT naive??? 🤣
Back ground music should be: Elvis: Devil in Disguise!
Stumbled across your channel. Used to be an active chess player years ago. It brought back memories. And you are very charming. I hope you kick lots of ass!
You two actually seem like a good match, and I don't mean just chess.
19:43, bishop locations don't match, there were no blunders
Chess aside, it's so much fun to see the guys and how they treat you Anna. You're a very attractive woman and I love hearing and watching how they react to playing a beautiful, and of course talented, woman.

I wonder if anybody else noticed....that guy is swole. :)
From 21:00 White King goes to f6 then if the Black King goes g8 then WK goes to g6 and now the black pawn must go forward... so you move your pawn to h7 CHECK MATE!
A man who has nothing to fear is a man who has nothing to love
Thanks, Keanu.
This was an epic game. Great work Anna. I love watching your videos. Let’s see the next one
He's flirting with you
And crushing hard
Let him back off Anna is mine
@@Yu5f Genuinely, seek help.
Italians are “terrible” 😅
@@TracyLydiattNot sure he's the only one crushing ...
Totally want to see the next game.
Handsome and charming gent!
Of course I want to see the next game. This is a cliff hanger!!
Love is in the air.
Wow.. Nice game & nice commentry.. Hope tie break round we can see soon!
he’s hot omg look at his arms
gurl same
Really nice smile as well. His eyes look kind.
Are we shipping Anna and the Italian Guy or Anna and Magnus's DJ? 😂
At 12:42, finally decides to play Qd4 because she *really* wants to checkmate him... such a delicate threat 😂😂 cutest moment in the game 😼
His shirt is too tight 😅
as it should be.. he’s so hot for a chess player

It's weird, but trash talking in sports is showing respect . Ignoring your opponent is disrespecting them.
Good Anna a little beer calms the nerves.
Italian guy is very handsome
We want to see next game Anna! Of course!!!
the love story begins
9:42 He said, he has a chilling Queen Wing! LOL
Think he fancies you 🥰😍🤩😘
Go get it Anna. This is my second time watching you in the wee hours of Wednesday Oct 2 2024. And I know I will definitely enjoy you and how you will wallop the Italian. Hehe. I'm your big fan now.
you know the commenters are real chess nerds when they think this is flirting lol
he played very well and he had winning position in endgame on some point actually
I ship them!!!
oh you had me on the edge of my seat at the end it was like watching a race at Nurburgring full of excitment
I'm impressed you dug yourself out of the hole at 7:21.
