The most painful losses are when you see your opponent squirming and getting annoyed, but then they somehow beat you and you have to see their smug face at the end.
@@ericmcdonough6771 It’s the same as you slogging away at work every day if you want to call that a game as well, there is a monetary reward for all of this, children don’t play for money
It's enlightening how you described your emotions here - actual GRIEF and then acceptance - And it can be even heartbreaking at times. It's nice to hear those feelings expressed because EVERY chess player does go through this!
I barely ever played chess, but I find all kinds strategy intriguing not just in chess but in other areas. I sense that Anna is uncomfortable or embarrassed to discuss her losses. If you're reading this Anna, I think the best things about your channel is the friendliness/warmth as well the integrity of your character which makes it far easier to digest the strategy. Once one gets to the peak of ones rating, losing becomes normal as one faces opponents who are one hundred points ahead of their peak so please don't be to hard on yourself. I stumbled and come to your channel to see your warm smiling face and hear about strategy. If I didn't care about the human traits of how you deliver the message, I would go to some grand masters channel, but I'm not, I'm here and I suspect many others are for the same reason. Your a good ambassador for the game regardless of your rating.
Anna, the description of your mindset talking about grief and emotions during the game was incredible. That's an aspect of the game I've never really thought about in such clear terms before. Thank you for sharing those thoughts, keep it up! Cheers
Jugaste una buenísima partida Anna, felicitaciones! Quedé con la sensación de que hubieras estado muy cómoda ahorrando unos minutos en el medio juego, pero lograste demostrar tu nivel de juego que era lo más importante. En directo, fue genial la facilidad de tu madre de encontrar el IMPOSIBLE contraataque con el caballo a su sacrificio de alfil. Prácticamente instantáneo. Saludos desde Chile!
There should be a special room for people who just had painful losses, so they don't have to socialise but can sit quietly together mourning their loss. ;)
Really enjoyed the emotionality in your recap! So empathize with the grief for letting go a winning position. Looking forward to the next one and seeing what muevs you come up with next!
Great recap of a fascinating game. Really enjoyed your presentation and explanation. I know they were missed, but some great tactical shots you showed there which I wouldn't have seen in a million years let alone the few seconds you had to see them.
I enjoy watching your videos, Anna. You have such lovely energy, as do your parents. You're helping to improve my chess game, too. Thanks and keep up the great work! ✨️
So glad you’re competing again. It gives your analysis even more life, especially to hear your feelings out loud. I wish you all the best in the tournament - we’ll be watching!
I relate so much with what you said about grief in classical chess, and playing on to go through it in the game. Loved the way you put it, and I think a lot of people who play classical chess can agree
Hey Anna, keep your head up we're all rooting for you!!! You're playing tough opponents, and you're keeping up with them even outplaying them in some instances. Love your high energy and good spirit, keep up the positive vibes and don't be too down in grief on the chess tournaments when they don't go your way, always remember you have all of us (your amazing fanbase) who loves and supports you to come back to after a long hard fought battle! WE LUVVV YOUUUU ANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your positive attitude!!!!!!! It's a pleasure to hear you relate life to chess. You are obviously a happy person, your parents look like happy people. Please continue to shine and share your hapiness with all of us!!!!!!!! xx
@James-Michael Robinson You can can read this two ways : lesson learned . Never underestimate (anything) Anna Or Lesson learned . Never underestimate (the soon to be GM) Anna 😉
Both players had genius moments in this game. The reflection of chess representing grief and acceptance at times is very true. It's funny that such a little game can have such a big impact.
This game reminds me of that famous Tartakower quote: ""A game of chess has three phases: the opening, where you hope you stand better; the middlegame, where you think you stand better; and the ending, where you know you stand to lose."
Well done, Anna You developed some incredible positions, and turned the dynamic of the game with with single.moves,but also took a step back and developed your positions. Impressive.
I really like your videos. You give a great description of the games and the thoughts that goes into the games. After watching the videos from you I got a totally new and better understanding of chess! Keep up the good work and good luck with upcoming games!
What a great start for this game ms Anna, you had a fantastic position indeed. Keep going, and do not stress so much during the game, think of your mom and her way of thinking, be confident. I think stress was your enemy this time, because your game was on point dear Anna. Less stress please, relax , find a place in your mind that gives you confidence. You where winning this game almost to the end. lets go Anna
I really enjoyed watching this game a lot. I never realized how exciting live classical can be, especially with GM Pia Cramling's commentary. Heartbreaking result in this one, but congrats on your win against Kevin Winter today
Your grief/acceptance explanation is beautiful and makes us realise that chess is life indeed. Thanks for your enthousiasm, once again. Good luck, Ms. Cramling!
when you played the pawn on c5 it's a quiet move that always puts your opponent in trouble when it's played at the right time :) I'm glad you saw that move, you can see all your hard work and passion in chess that's why I love watching you play because you always smiling and you combine a very demanding, complicated and beautiful game with a useful one, so it's even more interesting to watch your videos, it's a shame that I can't meet you in person, but who knows, maybe our paths will meet somewhere in life greetings from Serbia
Achieving a Zugzwang position against such a solid opponent in a line of the Catalan which you haven’t prepared for shows that you are GM material. Keep it up!
I have no clue what's going on and why your channel and chess have been appearing in my feed all the sudden but here am I watching and enjoying your commentary lol
Such a challenging game! I know how bitterly painful it can be to feel as though victory was almost within grasp, then slipped away. What did that guy at Washington Square say? When we play chess with the soul in the right place, every loss is a win. It might not feel like it in the moment. Any one can win. And everyone does lose. Even Magnus. Champions and heroes are who they are because of how they processed and dealt with the times they didn't get what they wanted. You played brilliantly in this game. Wonderful!
Great game, c5 was a great move! I obviously had everything under control though. :)

Just think that it also happens to you too. You have also swindled your opponents before. Its just a game. Have fun with it

@@aaronortega1083 He officially retired from that, a while ago.

Just wondering if streaming earns more then chess tournaments but i dont know if skills deteriorate over time w/o actual experience
With engines nowadays, is there such a thing as doing your own way and hope your opponent blunder?
It's enlightening how you described your emotions here - actual GRIEF and then acceptance - And it can be even heartbreaking at times. It's nice to hear those feelings expressed because EVERY chess player does go through this!
It's so relatable to have a great position, then lose it. Glad to hear you're not letting it get you down!
What an absolutely amazing start! You almost couldn't have had a better position - big congrats. Fun to watch the game for us viewers
Hearing you process the emotion out loud, explaining accepting over the board, was so meaningful. All the best!
You're playing strong players and you're doing a good job.
No matter what... I find this particular game delicious(win, lose or draw).
This commentary even came with a life lesson included. Wow, great game. Keep it up, Anna! We're all rooting for you. :D

At least you weren't so bad that your opponent fell asleep. 🤣
A deep heart felt GG for you and your opponent :)) Hope to see you competing in theese kind of tournaments more. Congrats for ur great game
Really appreciate you sharing your losses so openly Anna. We all learn from these and recover together! Thank you!
You made the U.K. papers today Anna talking about dodgy geezers in Chess. Congrats !
Which one please?

So glad you’re competing again. It gives your analysis even more life, especially to hear your feelings out loud. I wish you all the best in the tournament - we’ll be watching!
Anna, you bring chess to life. Thank you for sharing your insights. You always make me smile.
Absolutely insane! Why we like you... you are both VERY sane and VERY crazy... at the same time. Good way to be.
I relate so much with what you said about grief in classical chess, and playing on to go through it in the game. Loved the way you put it, and I think a lot of people who play classical chess can agree
great recap Anna, your aggression early in the game was impressive. best of luck today!
Man takes a special kind of player to puke up that position
That difference between "having a winning position" and "actually winning the game" is what those 300 points are made of.
Love this series! It’s so fun 😊
Love you, Anna! You and Levy are the reason I rediscovered my love for chess. Good luck!

Bobby Fischer played Kd2 very often. It protects the king & confuses the opponent.
Anna cycled between: "i'm brilliant" to "i suck". But compared to me, you're a genius.
I am saving these videos to teach my 9 year old daughter about sportsmanship.
My god! It feels like I lost this game! Wishing you all the best for the next game, Anna!
Lesson learned. Never underestimate your opponent, Anna.
She lost. Did you watch or just type a sycophantic comment then go and play with your Anna doll?

Thank you, Anna! Onward and upward. GREAT experiences. Great learning.
Such a wild game Anna! I love watching your recaps and enjoy your pure enthusiasm and love for the game!
Brilliant game! We're all rooting for you Anna!
c5 was a terrific move. Great presentation, it was really funny, when Anna acted out her opponent's emotions!
Bravo Anna - I like these videos ! Very nice 👍 hope you'll win the next one 💪✌️
This game reminds me of that famous Tartakower quote: ""A game of chess has three phases: the opening, where you hope you stand better; the middlegame, where you think you stand better; and the ending, where you know you stand to lose."
Great game! I love how animated she is going over these games.
Well done, Anna
You developed some incredible positions, and turned the dynamic of the game with with single.moves,but also took a step back and developed your positions. Impressive.
The captivating beauty of a Chess Master cost the game for that 16yr old.
Nice that you went back to chess competitions, it gives some great games and fun to see your state of mind
At 15:21 after the hypothetical Bh5, would it not be better to take the rock Nxc1, because after Qb2, there is fxe3?
Great game Anna, well played 👍

1) grief
2) sad
3) acceptance
It sums it up its a mental game.
I love you use of the word "grief", I believe it is the correct word in this context LOL :))
Your grief/acceptance explanation is beautiful and makes us realise that chess is life indeed. Thanks for your enthousiasm, once again. Good luck, Ms. Cramling!
Keep up, Anna! I love your enthusiasm. I'm trying to improve my chess with your vids.
Greetings from Colombia.
that long turn was pretty fascinating, but we were saying he just thought it was your turn lmao

BUMMER... You are very humble. And a delight to learn from. Thank you.
I knew burning so much time in the beginning was going to come back to bite you. You played so well it’s a shame but a good lesson to learn.
That was a great position! The clock is difficult to manage sometimes. I enjoyed your analysis of the game!
Wonderfull, really enjoyed following this. Thanks so much for sharing and keep going Anna!
Great tactical and emotional breakdown. That bishop sac on the queen side was a super GM move, no doubt.
I am cheering for you Anna. It is great that you make us part of your journey!
Great recap! I was sure you were going to win. As you said, you had so many materials advanced so far!
Tactical Anna, no worries you was awesome, wish you all the best ✌
when you make that noise that you were talking about at 7:20 in America we call that "sucking your teeth"

The way she cornered him... She's grossly underrated.
I mean she's only now restarting pro chess so
Ur such a good sport anna,everyone loves you
Really nice analysis. You let that one get away Anna.
Maybe Im wrong but after a5, I really like nb2 as you can sacrifice the b pawn to get your knight back in the game.
GG Anna! Live and learn yeah on to the next one. Good Luck!
