"HE HAD BEATEN HER... in chess"

He did not seem angry. He seemed like a nice guy.

"Igor first, Italian guy second, Maya's dad third, me fourth" - what a nice summary of such a friendly competition with so much great chess.

The Italian guy: I have a name! Okay, The Italian guy

There are 2 serious problems with being an angry father wanting revenge for Anna beating his daughter at chess: Anna's Parents!

This whole series was fantastic! Wholesome competition and brilliant commentary.

"I would have won my own signature"...😆

"STOP DRINKING BEER!" Nono, Anna, you gotta stay hydrated!

You should get a public signature, which is different from the signature you use to sign bank checks.

Love your content anna, its crazy how extroverted you are. Going out in the public and playing chess while also making youtube content. Its inspiring! Please keep up the great content!

Anna, even when you don't win a game, you remain gracious, and a class lady. Well done.

This is one off the most fun and interesting channel I subscribed to in YEARS! Amazing, I can't wait to watch all your games and I learn so much from your commentaries and the 2D board. Thanks so much for your content, and greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands!

Almost a MILLION people like you! Your signature is worth something because your presence and passion for the game creates inspiration in so many, and that is priceless! Thank you for sharing 😊

Italian Guy is trying to flirt, but she's having none of it

I loved the way you presented these games. The v/o helps explain the positions and thoughts, and I learned quite a bit from these games (not least to think about time)

Love your commentary, Anna! Keep it coming.

I love her self-revealing commentary. That's rare.

So great of you Anna, to share your wins AND losses. Sharing your chess prowess like no other. This just shows your enviable character and exemplifies the ultimate sportsmanship and humbleness which makes you unique. This brings life's lessons to us all... through chess. Thanks so much for you!

Väldigt bra serie...mer sånt. Nästa gång vinner du!

Loved this series, and great to see you playing chess in my home city. Keep up the good work Cramling!

Congratulations to Igor and to you and Maya and her dad, and all the other contestants. Thanks for sharing it.

Congratulations on winning 4th! 👏 I love watching your games! And i love how you edit your videos! I love how you find a way to keep things private while your there but having your own commentary over the game! You've definitely made chess very fun to watch! I'm sure you'll also achieve your goal at getting faster this year and I'm sure your learning lots from watching the game being played again now you can reanalyze your strategies. Keep doing these videos! They're so fun to watch! I hope you never give up and you always grow!

That was a very entertaining tournament! Your content is always nice.. thanks for posting for us to enjoy 😊

loved the series and you did well

Great content. No too long and it's fun to see you in a relaxed, but still competitive, environment.

Anna's biggest opponent as always is time... always an enjoyable view. Keep up the great content.

Anna speaks multiple languages. Her Spanish is flawless so I must compliment your English as well

Her focus drifted. I'm glad she shared the loss. A lesson learned.

I'm happy to watch these, and I enjoy listening to you discuss the game! :)

Great to watch, I'm really enjoying your plays and teachings. Good luck in Iceland 😊

3:18 I love how Anna refers to herself as the 3rd place in front of her opponent before the match 😄😄

Fantastic! you played so well! defeated only by your own slowness, which you already have as a goal to work on. I love your interest in words and language! and you have the far and away the best incidental music while the game is unfolding. So dramatic! I feel as though I've been drawn into a movie. Dramatic and relaxing at the same time. Great music and wonderful chess at the same time. It's like being in heaven. Thank you for creating these sorts of experiences for us to enjoy and learn from!

Who’s Angry? You don’t need clickbait..

Well done. I loved your series

Thanks for sharing this, although I felt sorry you lost… your explanations are simply great , thank you !🙏🏼

happy you switched from shaked hands to shook Anna haha--your videos are great keep going, you gotta hit 1M subscribers soon

The way you talk is adorable, never change

Bro is over there dropping chess pieces, infatuation for her is through the roof lmao.

Omgggg thank you for taking my note on Shook hands!! I love your videos :)

Loved watching you play. Cant wait for then next time!

Ouch! The old time bugaboo! Loved the videos of each game Anna!

All of your videos are great! More like this would be fantastic!

You are the best chesstuber. You are the best at articulating yourself (and English isn't even your first language) and you are very personable and relatable. I would be glad to win your signature in a local chess tournament.

Well done Anna, I hope you enjoyed your stay in the UK. Yes, more videos like this!! Very entertaining. Been subbed to you for 2 years I think. I still don't play chess 😄

"Looking around, smiling, feeling amazing" (ie. Anna was a bit drunk) 🍺

We love that 4th place finisher. She is so cool.

I'm with ya Anna! I hate time constraints. I have never played with a clock in real life and don't want to... but, you (and other ChessTubers) have inspired me to maybe sign up for a tournament.

"I would have won my own signature." LOL.

Drinking beer, looking around, you distracted yourself, got too comfortable. Had fun, let your hair down and enjoyed your company. It is not all about winning, but enjoying your life with respectful competition! You are a winner!

Thanks Anna! I think from the positions you reached you should have won this tournament. However it's true that playing faster could raise your chances even more! And one more thing: Don't think too much about winning just play the positions! When I played our traditional Blitz tournament (around the 6th of December) I always wanted to win it! When I finally won this tournament once (and the only time) i thought that I'd finish second if I drew the last game (which I did). But it turned out that it was sufficient for winning the tournament! What a pleasant surprise! It would have been even harder had I known that a draw would have secured me the victory in this tournament! That's highly psychological - the pressure under that you'll put yourself! Failure will be programmed in most of those cases!

Thanks for sharing! Love the videos!

Anna, thank you again for explaining your strategy. It is so helpful in my games. You are a champion!!!

I enjoyed seeing each match of the London tournament. Fun!!

Every time , she loses time, aiming zeitnot for her. She is more powerful than any of them.

I love how humble you are. Face it Anna, you're famous.

You did a GREAT job and it is a pleasure to watch you play. Sorry that you and the Italian guy didn't come in higher in the final positions but it was wonderful watching you. That dad will get his, don't you worry!

Strong narrative doesn't need emotive string music, l love that you play well and speak without using distancing or hesitation words Thanks for sharing this game

" i have lot more time of my opponents (65 seconds), I start to feel really great, looking around smiling, feeling amazing" Anna, you are amazing

anna's smile and friendliness is so contagious ❤❤❤

I am a slower player, too. So, classical for me. Congrats on 4th... you're a great person, your followers attribute this and are a testament to your journey.

Anna, I love your videos but I have to say, this one (thumbnail included) seems a little click-baity. There's no angry dad out to avenge his daughter here...

I enjoyed it very much Anna. Thanks for your commentary. Wishing you luck in increasing your speed. Wish me well in trying to reach a rating of 1800 on all 60+ puzzle categories. Currently stuck at 1400 on the Defensive Move puzzles which I find far harder than the other handful of puzzle categories I have so far understood and reached 1800.

Wonderful video Anna. I've throughly enjoyed watching this London series. Looks like a nice pint of ale you were drinking too. 🍻

Congrats on your effort! Well done!

I always told my children when they were learning to play that they really have to focus when board control shifts to your opponent. That's when we tend to start gambling. It appeared you had him until you gave up your first bishop and it didn't really look like that weak of exchange. That what I liked about chess not the exchange of pieces but the subtle change of power and what I could learn from my defeats and sometimes wins.

nice to see a dad get a polite revenge for his daughter. It might be a nice consolation for her.

Thanks so much Anna, have learned a lot from you!

11:33 I play The Pirc and similar styles with black a lot. Usually the computer says putting the king in the corner is safest, even though it looks silly. It prevents harsh pins.

8:48 love how you talk to yourself almost yelling❤😅😅

That was very gracious of Anna to let the old man win.

Hola Anna!! Me encanto esta serie ; )

If competition sports were this friendly and relaxed, I wouldn't have been turned off from them when I was a kid.

The italian guy is just happy to be hanging out with Anna.

I'm still pulling for the Italian guy!

I don't understand anything but you make it so entertaining to watch, Anna. Congrats on getting a high place, however, in the tourney.

Anna pro tip: from watching your blitz and classical games, what i see is that you can play both time controls very well, but you panic when switching time control in between a game. like having lots of time and needing to blitz in the end.

Great series. Very enjoyable. Perhaps enter one of these tournaments in future with your mum? 😊

great series -- love the place!

I enjoyed your so-called Triangle Defense, Anna. I'm going to try that! Muchos gracias😃

3:34 Thing is a "Bierdeckel" or coaster in England. It goes under the beer glass or over it in the summer to stop bugs.

Mia felt proud of her dads' win.

3:25 “You want my signature? I’m in third place.” How does she know she will finish third? The game not even started yet! 😂

2:38 - … in chess!! 😂

This series was good. I'd like to see more like it.

She did not like losing and I love the competitive spirit!

Anna, you quite enjoyable to watch. I’m not a chess player and try to keep up with the game. It’s just nice to see a young woman with class , brains and cheerful attitude/personality, it makes the world a better place!

He had a lot of concentration.

Such a lovely, down to earth girl Anna, I wish there were more like you 👍🏻

Still well played looking forward to see your journey!

Love how deeply unimpressed you are with the ‘bottle of wine’ and ‘signature’ prizes!

Thanks again, very nice following the tournament and hear the analysis of your own thoughts. Get a second public signature to use, as many advised you already. 😊

3:43 this killed me 😅😅😅 Suppose you win your own signed beer coaster 😂

This was a great series of games to watch!

I like that you not just put the Videos only when you win!! Great!!

Great! Very enjoyable games, the voice over works so well.

Igor, the Italian guy, and Maya's father. Quite the names there. 😂

Loved this series, is there anywhere I can find out more about this chess club?

An older guy appreciating the young folks taking an interest in chess! Chess lives!

The music background was perfect, so much suspense 😮😊

I've watched a few of these and now I'm hooked. I really enjoy everything about this. She is very talented, very fun to watch and fun to listen to. I really enjoy her manner of speech and how she shows her moves with potential options. No matter how fast she goes I can pause and back it up and think..... Thanks for posting these. I'm in!!!
