Anna is more than likely known for being a chess content creator than being a chess player alone.

      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

    at 10:06 qf5+ was much better if she goes h8 there is a check mate: kh8 ng6+ kh7 or kg8 then ne7+ kh8 q f8+ kh7 qg8# so after qf5+ g8 is the only move but then white had nd3 and blacks best move is qa5 and because of qf5 earlier white can take on d5+ and thats all she wrote because the knight just dropped now white can try to line up the same position with the knight on e7 by bringing the knight back and getting the bishop involved

    When I was a beginner I played a match in an online tournament against Pascal Charbonneau. To say he destroyed me would be an understatement. I was amazed by how completely he dominated and controlled the chess board -- and I told him so. He was very gracious. After the tournament he switched from his pseudonymous account to the account under his real name, and we played a few more games. Really nice guy. Anyhow, I see a lot of this kind of playful, false modesty among strong chess players. By the time I told him I was garbage, I had already proved it beyond the shadow of a doubt.

    He is a very strong player, he definitely would not have blundered the obvious mate, because that mate was in it for a lot of the game.

      Maybe 2300 in online chess, though I doubt it. It is a nice video, but the level of play looks rather like sub-2000. For example withdrawing the bishop to d2 in the opening is such a terrible positional blunder.

      Had a similar thought: He didn't like how it feels to win subconsciously gave the match away. Sounds sexist when you say it out loud but we all know how good Cramling is. Would they agree tho? I think Anna would say yes this happens in chess but he'd probably say that he just lost the game. Either way, the feat of playing chess while speaking a different language in a crowded room is huge brainwork. Congrats.
