      ​I completely agree! But that's more than likely how he knows her. There are (according to FIDE in May 2021) 9,460 active chess players with a rating of 2200. Anna is more than likely known for being a chess content creator than being a chess player alone. I may be wrong since I am not the guy in the video, but that is just an assumption based exclusively on his reaction to seeing her.@@michaelwincott

      for sure. to be fair to reach any level of competency with chess one has to lose hundreds of times. I'm not certain if that fosters an ability to take defeat in stride or whether people who can't do that to begin with just don't make it that far, or perhaps a combination of both. but from my experience the chess community is remarkably respectful and gracious regardless of the outcome of the game

    This was some nice content Anna, thank you 😊 It was a good game, and I was thinking he kinda had you … But it was your finishing that counted in the end … Listening to Levy lately, I recognise that your experience with vision and moves is what makes you the superior player. Well done 😉

    Wow! That was an entertaining game of chess! Somehow Anna managed to get her pieces in a position to threaten mate despite blundering her bishop and leaving her king exposed - and I've never seen her studying the board so intensely, desperately looking for a way out of that mess. And yet, her opponent just couldn't find a way to finish her off and eventually blundered the mate. Bravo to both of them!

      it looks like our Zinchenko, although the latter's name is Oleksandr, not Kirill. But this decision of yours is quite interesting. He looks like Zinchenko, but more like his brother, if he had a bro. I liked his level of English (4 years were not in vain). it's good that he showed Ukraine exactly like that, well done Cyril ! :)

      ​@@thedon3071 Glory to Heroes !!!! This is a really good club (Arsenal London). Before the war (in 2012-2011 years) there (in capital of Ukraine) were two or even three good football clubs in Kyiv. ''Dynamo'' Kyiv, (our own) ''Arsenal'' Kyiv, ''Obolon'' Kyiv and the still quite strong football school Yednist / Єдність (Children's and Youth Football Club) located on Obolon' (one of ten districts of Kyiv). 6 days ago (2024-01-06), Valery Vasyliovych Lobanovskyi turned 85 years old. Every time I see his sculpture (where he is depicted sitting on a bench near a football field) on the square in front of the entrance to the old Dynamo stadium, I want to cry. Such a smart person, a great player and a very good coach. He was a patriot of Ukraine , sport and Dynamo. He was a very strong person... He is also a Hero of Ukraine, and Heroes do not die. Many Dynamo Kyiv fans from the Maidan went to war to defend Ukraine. Why can't such people manage the country, why some dutins have to sit in one place forever...
