Even better was later on she says "how am I worse" and anish says "you've given up that Bishop you hated it was protecting everything" hahaha

Shut up

That was pretty funny

No one can so no to Anna:)) - back in the day I played her mum Pia several times - she was an extremely strong player (her dad wasn’t too bad either!).

I muted the video when he started going over the variations with her... to keep the video realistic 🤣

Are you aware how attractive Anna is in both personality and looks? He didn't only go over variations with her, he is the one who challanged her to play the game in the first place, even though the difference in skill makes it like playing against a toddler for him. Usually, the weaker player is the one challenging the stronger player, hoping that he agrees to play at all

He's like Beth Harmon's coaches

@@Yanimalyan It's not that fucking serious.

Great chess players love to learn more from even better chess players. She'll take that 30-second lesson at the end to heart. Watch Anna's rating go up a 1000 just by playing these Super GM's.

They both talk A LOT, don't they? ^_^ LMAO

wait why are the two examples similar

Still don’t see the resemblance

@@ya6n no..

@@456death654 No, you are exactly correct. Most people do not look deeper while you do.

Not a good move according to a computer but a good move for him.

He knew that it was objectively bad but he also knew that Anna won't be able to find the right move in such a complicated position with little to no time

@@neerajnongmaithem392 Okay, thanks for that, I've just watched it through again and I'm not good enough at chess to disagree with you. Although I would say the next move he made with the knight the computer says was the best move which wouldn't have been possible if he hadn't made the "bad move" first. Like I say though you're probably better at chess than me. I've played for a long time on and off but as soon as I get to the 1500s I nearly always lose.

@@funkfireman It's actually very common to get a "best move" right after blundering, since the computer looks at the position objectively as if it was new each turn. (Ex: You realize your queen is trapped, so you trade it for a bishop out of desperation, the computer will say it's "best move" since the blunder already happened last turn, you're making the best out of the current situation)

@@SamaraVidZ Yeah I get that and I do agree with the comment Neeraj has made above. I'm just saying that if he deliberately made the first move which the computer thinks is dodgy knowing that the next move he could then make with the knight is the best move. Then technically for him the first move is also a good move as long as that's his plan and it works out which it did. lol :)

I mean you can say that about almost any blitz game to be fair

@@markrabideau4067 no its not right

This is why he is a super GM... the clarity over the board. No value judgments, just configurations of pieces and squares that convey an objective truth.

@@sahand_rwandzy I dare you to play her

@@sahand_rwandzy Nah, its just a streaming habit. He plays to win, she plays for entertainement

Interesting that he could tell it was “swinging.” He could tell his own move had a bad eval (but still played it?)

@@dr.corneliusq.cadbury6984 Probably wanted to make the game interesting knowing Anna still couldn't convert those small advantages

@@dr.corneliusq.cadbury6984 never happened to you realizing that you blundered a move right after you play it

@@pneumonoultramicroscopicsi4065 I think it's more that those "bad" (ChessNetwork calls them "hope chess") moves have a good chance of working against weaker players. Similar to how you can play for a win with Black if your opponent is lower rated. So Anish is making the game interesting, giving her a chance to win if she finds the right moves, but also giving himself good practical chances (especially with low time) if she fails to find the reply - all in one. It's all for fun but it also makes a lot of sense to play like that. An alternative could be playing very solid and if Anna doesn't make serious mistakes herself, slowly grind her down. But that's not without risks too - there is only so many moves you can make in 2mins.

I think it's necessary to experiment with questionable moves every once in a while, or one will not improve anymore. In fact, I think when chess AIs are being trained, they have some chance to make a random, almost always bad move rather than the one they evaluate as the best one. If this is not done, they fall into unproductive patterns, where they plateau at some level of skill and cease improving. It's probably the same with humans.

True, but then you haven’t seen him in the armageddon match against Jordan van Foreest in Tata Steel/Wijk aan Zee, one or two years ago. It was crazy, hitting the clock like maniacs, with the pieces flowing over the board and ultimately he lost to Foreest.

I'm here for all this Anish simping

Lifelong players of the game basically have those movements burnt into their muscle memory, I always found it really satisfying to watch. Every GM has their own unique way of doing it. My favorite is Fischer's piece handling, it was really snappy and sort of aggressive.

She is a natural interviewer! Very positive communicative presence, and good with rapport.

​@@pugsnhogz how nice of her to be good with GM Richard Rapport

Well yes. He just exploited the mistakes of a weaker player without much effort. And that's no disrespect to Anna. She'd destroy me. It is what it is.

Obviously he knew what he was doing since he is, you know, a Grandmaster. It's kind of expected. And it wasn't a good game from him at all. He said it himself. "Please don't look at this game with an eval bar." Of course it's to be expected with two minutes, but still he made a lot of mistakes.

Why is it amazing? It’s a benoni and he’s like 800 points higher rated.

@@mikecantreed Only 800?

@@henkoosterink8744 huge difference between 2000 and 2800.

Maybe Kasparov after Ivanchuk cornered his would disagree!

Legend??? Legend is Alehin, Morphy, Magnus or Tal. Anish is great player and nice guy not legend.
