Guys. Basic rule. Anna is super distracting so don't look at her, don't respond to her questions, be super scared when she is chatting away on HER time and not bothering to move. Just pretend you are somewhere else. It will delay your loss.
@@danwilliams8626fundamentals aren’t going to help you against a GM just play knowing you are going to lose but at least watch in amazement as she beats you 😅
As an 800. If I play against anna I'm either running out of time or checkmatting her with 1 second left, or maybe she'll checkmate me without me noticing . Either way ik trying to get a rematch and suggesting where we should get lunch
Because of the conversation you two had, I did a quick search and discovered that Norway and Sweden fought two short wars in the early 1800s, and were in a union as countries until 1905.
LOL, and now we are friends, but with "banter" :D The standard Swedish joke when meeting a Dane is that they thought Danish was a throat disease. My standard reply is that the Muppets didn't make a Danish chef :D The Swede then replies that the Swedish Chef sounds nothing like a Swede, but to a Dane, or anyone else, other than a Norwegian, he does :D @@michaelgoetze2103
"You're playing well. I feel like you're the best chess player in the group." Leave it up to Anna to make a sarcastic remark sound like a genuine compliment. If Dinah Belenkaya had said something like that, one could've tasted the snark.
i actually think she meant it because he didn't take the pawn just then, so it seemed like he saw why he shouldn't. But then he took it anyway like 1 move later lol
"I feel like you're the best chess player in the group." tells a lot about the group :) The man is opening with ... c5 against d4, moves his queen like it's shopping time, fall twice on basic fork, and got checkmated by knights in 14 moves 200 ELO at best lol
She did the same thing for me. Her exuberance over chess is inspirational. I’m 64 and have just started back since my last game in 1989. Anna makes it seem fun, and so it is!
I'm barely a chess player at all, but if I were playing against an inferior opponent and they made that bad a move, I would ASK them to take it back, not just LET them take it back.
I’ve only just discovered Anna and I know absolutely nothing about chess but I’m beginning to suspect you need a chess face, like a poker face. Love watching her smashing her opponents 😂
I am no great chess player but as soon as he brought out his queen and started losing tempo as Anna chased it around I knew he was doomed. Even I know that is an amateur mistake.
Yeah I don't know if he knew who she was. I learnt to defend against this highly aggressive "Scholars Mate" type of stuff in one evening when I first started playing.
Oooh I'm from the Netherlands and thought "hey I can read the posters on the wall😅" But now to the game, Anna says "you play quite well" but let's be honest....Snurre moved only his much to early queen around and get a punishment for that. Anna forked him with a check, she could take his rook, but chose for the pon instead....and looked at Snurrre's face at that moment. Wondering if he actually saw that or not. So she makes a second forked on the other side with a check....again Anna didn't take the rook and I thought...oh Anna doesn't want to hurt him to much, but I was wrong! She saw a checkmate coming, that's why she didn't take the rook😂 Always love to see Anna play and talk and her body language ❤
He moved his queen five times while Anna developed at least four pieces, most of which were attacking moves. He needs to review her video where she covers: 1) Check 2) Capture 3) Attack in calculating potential moves. Oh yes, also where she discusses defending one's own pieces at all times, if possible. Both of these points have helped my own game.
that's not brutal, if she wanted to be brutal she would have eaten all his pieces, then sacrificed all her pieces and pawns (except 2 of them) for nothing, then promoted them to knight and bishop to checkmate him
@@sebu1301I certainly hope she can. I'd expect 95% of those rated 1500+ to be able to do so nevermind those at her level. I'd actually suggest lower but it's easy to mess up and run out of moves.
@@GuardOfGaia You have high expectations. I don't see a reason why any 1500 would even consider practicing that, one of the least useful skills in chess. Somebody said, that even many GMs can't do it. But Anna is kind of a chess nerd, so maybe she has practiced it. I'm 1200 and can't even reliably mate with king and rook 😂 I wonder how often knight & bishop vs king endgame happens. Maybe Hikaru has had it, with the crazy amount of games he's played...
Anna has almost become a reason of fight between Sweden chess-players and Norwegian artists in the Dutch bar. The Armageddon Clocks never were so close to the midnight😁
Absolutely I would play you in a game of chess. Surely I would lose the actual game, but it would be fine, the pleasantness of your conversation, as well as the "learning points" that you give your opponents, and your energy and smile, I know that is ALWAYS A WIN for me.
@@sitbone3 thanks! I was more referring to the fact that she made it to an endgame with Magnus, but that her current opponent probably doesn't know what an endgame is because he always gets mated first.
På norsk: Snorre Sturlason var en islandsk høvding, historiker og skald, og hørte til en av de mektigste ættene på Island, så Snorre/Snurre er et gammelt norrønt navn. Det er laget fra verbet snurre. Navnet kan ha betydd ‘den raske’ eller ‘den uvørne’.

As a total beginner, I take comfort knowing that I at least wouldn't have made some of the baffling mistakes this guy made. He lasted 8 minutes, I'm pretty sure I would have lasted 9.
I have had a few people like that. They only play on computers or their phones. The board, they say, throws them off. I like the board as I have to be more attentive to it than if I were looking at the 2d representation of the board.
@@Farinhir I'm old school too. I'm pretty sure I would play better over the board, where I can see all the pieces as solid objects that have mass and take up space.

Bringing out your queen at the start of the game is a really good way to help your opponent develop pieces
He didn’t play the best chess. But he got to play and chat a little with Anna so he is a winner.
"He didn’t play the best chess." - That's an understatement.
He didn't play anybody's best chess.
Dude seemed to just be randomly moving pieces around. I'm not sure he even knows how to play chess, he just wanted to talk to Anna. 😆

First winning a queen and then checkmating with knights and bishop without even using your own queen, now that´s beautiful
right? he wants to be aggressive with his queen, gets forked and then mated by knights, what a chain of unfortunate circumstances xD
more like super easy

Yeah, she really beat him up with those knights. Not being able to see what a knight is capable of is a rookie trait.

It’s called the “Flirt Strategy”. She’s taken it to new levels.😉😉
That is so much bullshit, let the girl talk wtf 😂
It's fun to hear the banter between Sweden and Norway.... Just shows how nice the people are from that area......thanks for the video

It took 14 moves for the checkmate, but the game was over as soon as he brought out the queen.

"You're playing well". Anna, you flatterer. Then he blunders his queen into a royal fork
WOW! Anna, do not tell him that his strategy sometimes work. Tell him not to do it ever again. lol
