Kids in any sport tournament: Kids in chess tournament: 💀

I still say you're one of the best post-game analysts out there. Clear, interesting and fun.

I LOVE watching PIA's reactions to your moves. A note to your editor to include them in future recaps of the tournament if possible! Anna showing no mercy on the poor kids 💀💪

Loved the moment at 7:59...her opponent freezes and the spectator grins!

8:00 The guy in blue shirt was so happy to see that move.

Anna the merciless 😂. She doesn’t just want to beat her opponent with a couple of extra pawns in the end game, she wants to crush them. Love it

We definitely use hungry to mean motivated some times. Not weird at all

That was a really sharp game. Very enjoyable to watch, and to listen to Anna's analysis and thoughts for each move. Those tactical games are the best!

Hi, Anna! My 10 year old daughter loves watching your tournament videos! We watch all of your tournament videos as a family. Thank you for making these wonderful videos!

Anna, I can't wait to see you cross the 1M subs mark! Continued success!

Brilliant Game, Anna! Congrats! Love & appreciate the effort you put into these recaps! Good luck on the next one!

Your Mom is terrific at being a commentator with lightning-fast multi-prong predictive analysis. 🎙💯 GM Pia's immense pride and excitement in watching you play makes the coverage such a pleasure to watch. 🤎🤎🤎 Good luck, and sleep at night so you don't at the board, but mostly have FUN! 🐮♟🏆

Good game. You trusted your intuition, and that helped with time management.

I recently got 2 brilliant moves in a row. That was before I blundered and lost the next 6 games

Wishing you lots of good luck! The way you describe chess is wonderful! The simple way that you can describe complex strategies is masterful.

Love your energy and enthusiam. It's contagious. I like using the "checkmate" thinking in other areas of life. Requires lots of thinking but fun "checkmate winning" result. Problems defeated!

Love the recap videos. Hope you get enough rest between matches. And good luck going forward :)

Thanks for opening up your tournament experience to us. It’s a lot of fun!

Great Job Anna. Love the analysis and following your thought pattern.

I really enjoy your videos, Ms Cramling.

Hello Anna. Solid game, inspired choices. You punished a very poor black defensive preparation. 👍 Good Luck for the next. 😃

Brilliant game, well done Anna! Good luck!

Incredible content, I always learn so much

Anna, please say to yourself "Anna, you need to sleep at least 5 hour good sleep before a game"

would love to have more pia reactions included. Great job guys by the way. My favorite chess content

The most cherished brilliant moves are intentionally brilliant ones

Bravo ! Belle victoire passionnante.

❤loved the game! Anna- and the last one.

Wow...action-packed game, Anna! Congrats!

I think you are one of the best teachers because you explain options in your thinking. Thank you. ❤

About your round 3 (the second game you played today)... Anna, se que te sientes comprometida con tu audiencia para hacer los streamings y recaps, pero cuando estás en estos torneos tu prioridad debería ser estar lo mejor preparada posible antes de sentarte frente al tablero. Si tener que instalar los equipos y resolver problemas técnicos te conlleva restarte horas de sueño por tener que levantarte más temprano, deberías desentenderte de eso o delegarlo completamente a alguien más. O al menos en jornadas como la de hoy, dónde partías jugando tan temprano en la mañana Si, nos gusta ver tus partidas, pero queremos aún más que logres tus metas en el ajedrez y para ello es fundamental que estés descansada, bien desayunada y sin el estrés previo que te puede dar el tener todo listo para streamear. Solo una sugerencia bien intencionada =)

The spirit of Tal is smiling on our Anna, Gz on a great game, and Good Luck in R5.

I always remember that scene in Laura Croft where she knocks on the geeks trailer outside the mansion to get up... the sun hasn't risen yet and he leaned out his door and said "whats that smell?" The reply was 'That's morning' .

What a beautiful game! Congrats on this win 🎉

me encantó el sacrificio de caballo Anna enhorabuena y sigue disfrutando del ajedrez

Nicely done 👍

Incredible, I didn’t see that knight sac at all lol. Congrats Anna!😊

she's really humble. Good luck in your next game.

I understand that you as a streamer it is very important to create this postgame content. I hope it didnt take so much time to create that it cut into your time to rest. Please take care of yourself, and get the rest you need to keep your mind sharp for the future upcoming games. Im cheering for you!

Yeah, great game Anna! So proud to see you stay on top of your time! 😁

Nice game Anna, good luck for the next!

Not usually a guy who does your mom comments, but your mom did a great commentary on your game. It was really great content to see the commentary while the tournament was live. I appreciated the way she went deep into alternative lines while you were thinking and it made her analysis very accessible. She was so happy when you played the best moves. It would help me understand more if you could show the game board in one spot and the analysis Pia was doing on another spot The only part of the experience I didn’t love was the live comments. It few bad apples were unkind to the kid because he was getting up a lot and having a Mountain Dew. Maybe we can expand the rules for live comments to not make comments it would hurt the kid to read later. All the jokes about some random kid peeing a lot. Like it’s a random normal smart kid and an early first exposure to a big audience, the comments is half bad jokes about how much he pees and semi racist stuff about Mountain Dew being a delicacy to him. Felt like bullying. If I was playing some chess celebrity in another country as a kid like that and later rewatched the live stream I’d be a bit traumatized. Don’t people remember what it feels like to be a kid? It was only a couple people making the comments but maybe the moderator could do away with that next time? It’s unkind to the kid and it’s just a couple idiots dragging it down for everyone else. I know there was active moderation pulling down even worse stuff but it should be a bit more aggressive when it’s a kid.

Good luck , and thank you for the insites

Great video Anna! "Kids are terrifying in chess." True, yet the sentence is funny to hear each time.

Good. You can do it. Good luck in the upcoming rounds.

Very nice sweater!!! Love it so much 😊

gut gemacht Anna!

I don't even play or understand chess but l enjoy these videos. You are so engaging and passionate about the game.

0:00 This is brilliant 🌞

You played like your father in this game , like the aggressive chess , I really love this

Wow, nice finds! keep it up!

Great game! Great content!

Great job!!!

this was very fun to follow live!

Good job! Good luck!!!!

Brilliant. Congratulations.

Good luck with round 3 anna! :-)

Anna - super good at explaining everything

Wow, what an exciting game!

It really was SOOOOOO nice Anna!!! I would have been very proud to have played a game like this!! Thank You for sharing your thoughts and exuberance here! :)

Well, you say that "There's no one scarier than a little kid to play...". but never has a "Your mom" joke been so wholesome and accurate.

great explainer

Good luck for the rest of the tournament

Good luck Anna!

The thing you said about being annoying is so true, i get frustrated when my opponent plays a toxic playstyle

You were brilliant! 😊

May success follow you every step of the way as you proceed in round three of this tournament!

Good job Anna!

That’s a damn good accuracy

Great moves!

Mucha suerte!

I pretty much thought you would play Ng6 since when the smoke clears your Queen will have direct access to a discovered check

The boy has the benefit of youthful energy and a general lack of ennui. He has the penalty of playing against an adult woman at the peak of hormone development. A real zugzwang.

Yikes! Grindavek Volcanic Opening just to the south. Nature getting in on the event.

Great job to you and your opponent (:

Your chess is excellent!

Fascinating.

A Double Brilliant!! must be Genius!!!!

That knight was great!

Can you put a couple of pats of butter in your coffee and blend 20 seconds. That produces structured water which revives energy.

I love these tournament reviews by you Anna but the website your using shows the results.

4:12 please don't tell me you stopped to think half an hour on that move. Phew :)))) 5:53 googling Swedish sour candy - looks yummy Conclusion: maybe three croissants and a large coffee is the right way.

Good luck Anna, win another one!

7:47 If it’s not completely crushing your opponent it’s not the move 😂

Love you Anna, but 3 hours?!? I suppose I'd party with the Botez sisters too if I were in your place, but maybe pick a day without a 9am start :p

Hella excited for this journey Edit: 3 croissants for bfast is mood

Win or lose, you will do well. We love your videos and are learning a lot. We now have an automatic self-moving chess board in our house because of you. Thanks 🙂

07:59 the guy in the background is, the STOCKFISH? He literally indicated the brilliant move.

That thumbnail is wild.

Vamos Anna!

Love your Moms commentary on your games, and you look so beautiful when you are concentrating

Well done you 🙂

Thank you, Anna ! You have given me the perferct reason to play chess: to be annoying ... 😉 Congratulations on your win. / J

Very good game see! Take a Lava self's Anna!

5:47 i think they already heard you

Sour candy or Knight outpost - same thing!

Children and Swedes, both very scary. *nods wisely* Although, that said, when I was in uni my gf was Swedish and she told me all Swedes were delightful because all the terrible ones had gone off to become Vikings in Yorkshire (which is where my family is from) and that’s why English people were terrible. She also introduced me to semla.

I was there when this thumbnail was taken!

Good One

Great recap even though I watched live as well. Don't sacrifice your sleep and results, though!
