5:26 "I hate it when I think that something is good and the engine doesn't agree with me" Yeah I can relate, that's all my moves.

Love the way you talk through your games Anna. Very easy to understand you and your enthusiasm is amazing.

I would have been so funny if you two would have done this recap/Analysis together for this round

I love playing chess against bot and doing puzzle but as soon as I have to play against humans I completely fall apart, shacking, cold hand, heart pounding and everything. Whenever I lose I'm so mad at myself and I don't play anymore for weeks. Seeing you take the L graciously like that, even laughing about it and being able to analyze it is really inspiring. Well done.

Anna two videos ago: "I don't think it's a good idea to play tactics against stromger players because you don't see the position throug so well." Anna today: "So anyway I went for tactics."

i wonder if it's hard to have proper tournament etiquette when you're playing against your friend

Your positive outlook is contagious! Win or lose you seem to find the positive in whatever challenge you're Facing. Good luck on your next game.

Your gift is explaining everything with clarity and transparency so we can learn.

Big fan of these breakdown videos where you go through a game and actually explain the concepts behind each move and your plans.

I like the fact she felt the need to clarify that she wanted to attack Eric ... on the chessboard. 😅

I want to say something. You brought such a positive energy to this video that I thought "She must have won the game." Really appreciate how upbeat you are and that you have the right attitude. Thanks for "bringing it" every single video you make. Also... as a lowly 1600 player who has a fair number of high-level scalps... do NOT underestimate a 1600 player. They may have some kind of weakness in their play, but they aren't always going to drop a piece at move 20. Sometimes they'll play tough and give you a real scare. Don't underestimate us. I myself have knocked off an expert once and 1900 players multiple times in tournament length games, so don't assume we are easy targets. Take us seriously. And have fun. =)

I like how you never stopped looking for ways to attack. Great game!

Just a quick tip Anna. When Eric almost made that blunder where you could fork his two rooks, you grabbed your pen and were ready to start writing the move. Don't ever do that! Eric saw that and then stopped his move and changed his mind. Stay calm if you see an advantage and just be quiet and don't move a finger!

„… a move the engine didn’t like but I thought was good…“ This sums up my chess career pretty well. 😂

You say you had the wrong plan from the start, but there are no easy plans against a player like Eric.

I love these commentary series. So wholesome!

I'm a big Eric Rosen fan. I discovered Anna because of Eric's channel. What an amazingly small world that these two played over the board in an open tournament in Iceland.

It's cool that Dina made an appearance in the video too!

Love the style. Attacking dynamic chess! I'm the same, I do badly against solid positional players too. Always look for the active move. That one passive Bd3 handed initiative, then you're just swinging punches. Great lesson. Thanks for the content!

9:00 thank you Anna for this new word "atrocious". I'm also not an native english speaker (I'm german) and I learnt something new here :-). I like this word and I will use it in the future to describe my chess posotions :-). Btw. It is great that you was paired with Eric Rosen. Fantastic!

Anna, you are scary... I have never seen someone so enthusiastically explain such complex subjects like it is second nature. You are one of my favourite content creators overall

Excellent commentary thanks Anna. Your mother's live commentary was amazingly good, please thank her as well! She gave a whole lot of detailed analysis all through the game explaining in simple terms just how a top grandmaster thinks. Her suggested moves checked out really well against the engine moves and explained them!

God luck Anna! We are all rooting for ya!

I love these recaps, great videos thanks and good luck!

The Trompowsky was named after Octavio Trompowsky, a Brazilian chess player. I went online and though 'Trompowsky' is pronounced in various ways in various dialects, the Portuguese (Brazilian) pronunciation seemed to be /trompovski/ or /tromposki/ from what I could find. So I feel like you were pronouncing it closer to right initially.

Holly shit your personality is so cool and really fun hangin out with you, anywys keep it up girl wish you the best 🫶🏼

Anna went after Eric like Leroy Jenkins. Respect.

That was good I like that you are so modest, and a showcase for good sportsmanship.

Anna’s smile is as wide as a rainbow and twice as bright. Love the always super positive attitude.

00:06 look at Eric smiling, shaking her hand, and then the moment he hits the clock his face turns into an ice cold killer's. ok slightly exaggerated.

Really enjoy both of you as streamers and Anna your enthusiasm and passion for chess is contagious and so enjoyable to watch! More of this, please :)

Dina sneaking in at 5:17 😂

Hi Anna, youre energy is contagious! good video!

Love all of your videos. You have a great personality. Always entertaining! Congrats on gaining around 120,000 more subscribers in the last 6 weeks or so.

This video boutta blow up! Awesome for Anna!

**I LOVE WATCHING YOU & ERIC ANYTIME, ANY PLACE = THANKS TO YOU BOTH!!!**

I love the way Anna says "move". It makes it sound so fancy. "Meuhw"

Sometimes you win and learn and sometimes you just learn 😊

I really like it when Anna mentions that she uses new words (8:59) that she just learns in English, it makes her channel even more educational.

Thank you so much Anna for teaching me chess, 6 months of your vidds, and maybe 20 online chess games, and i won a tournament at work with 20 players, in the final girl i won against in the finals brother is a master. an she was good. I had a really good day, now they think im a really good player (i'm not really) but i accepted the complement

Hello, Anna, the Reykjavik Open videos from you and Pia are absolutely awesome, thank you so much! Your broadcasts truly bright up the days! Anna, please let me tell you, Pia is working very hard to commentate your games. Please take good care of her. I believe she is overstraining. Set her an alarm so that she takes a break every hour or so, or just "give" her a free day. Was impossible to hear her crackling voice during your second game yesterday, I had am impression her voice is just going to fail. She was almost whispering at some point. And she was making _a lot_ of factual mistakes, mixing up words, and apologizing for her tiredness! There is no need for that kind of sacrifice. Thank you and Pia again for all the work you are doing!

I liked the 0-0-0 idea for two reasons: your pawn structure dictates it, the opponent’s attack with the BB-pair was oriented toward your K-side… good game!

love how we spend so much time on what we want to happen rather then what did happen.

good job Anna!!!

Ha ha, I love that Eric did an "Oh no my pawn" against you.

I don’t know that there’s a more wholesome and lovable personality in the chess scene than you, Anna. People will always root for you. Eric played a great game though, it was basically a forgone conclusion right out the opening when he stayed accurate and solid and shut the attack down. Respect for the way you never took your foot off the gas in spite of that, kept posing threats, and most of all provided an analysis between games!

These backgrounds are really cool. The venue must be beautiful

Your thorough explanations and thoughts as your playing your games are the best part of your channel!

Always love you openness about matches I learn a lot as someone who master level when I was younger I haven’t played as much lately. Love chess. Good work. Gl

5:16 Dina from the left side: "don't do it, Anna"

I love that she is learning pronunciation from Levy. 😂 Levy add English Professor to your resume! Keep up the good work Anna!

Anna just say " Congrats Eric, I just called my Super GM Mom and she wants to play you !!! 😂😂😂

*”April’s Fool”* aha aw she’s so adorable 🥺🥺 Also, if “Trompowski” is Polish, then the proper pronunciation is rolling the “r”, the “o” is a soft “o” (like “posh”, and unlike “power”), and yes Anna is correct, the “w” makes the “f” sound. So in Polish it would be Trom-pof-ski. The Americanized pronunciations is Trom-POW-ski.

6:15 bishops thrive in open environments, that's why you don't cage the elephant

I wish I had your energy levels. It's inspiring. Eric's is one of the first Chess channel on KZfaq I watched along with the Backyard Professor, Ben Finegold, Alexandra Botez and GothamChess. You're all wonderful.

Deep lines .. that checkmate you saw was so inspired .. you both are sick players i watch you both to get stronger .. that was such fun lol .. Im an IMRosen stafford gambit fan lolol that attack was inspired .. awesome lines of adaptation .. GL

Every time I watch one of your a videos I can't help but get a smile on my face within a second or 2. Your cheerful appearance is contagious.

It's great to be able to see analysis from both sides of the game.

Nice game! You did great! You learned me a lot about chess through your videos🤝

I thoroughly enjoy your energy and authenticity, Anna. Good luck in the rest of the tournament!

Anna did your parents met playing chess?

It was a good try. Eric is a tough opponent. Hopefully you are doing well in your game now.

It's so nice to see your videos. Good luck in the next rounds.

If Anna Cramling won Then Eric Rosen would say: Oh no the game

You guys are both great chess KZfaqrs! Fun to watch your take on the game. Now I've gotta go find Eric's. Good luck with the rest of the tournament!

At 7:50 You missed a big opportunity. Bishop e4xc6 forking 2 rooks and if the b7 pawn takes your bishop you hit back with the queen forking the 2 rooks and the bishop. Black can move a rook or move the queen to protect a rook but the other rook is bye-bye and if you are lucky a7 pawn is also taken. The balance is 1 bishop saced but a rook and 3 pawns taken.

Just wanted to say that I love those recap videos! I watched all 4 of them in a row and then this 5th came out so sleep schedule ruined I guess... keep them up!

Great stuff!! Keep going!! 👏👏

Losing sucks, but the way you do it gives me hope for humanity

6:03 unfortunately e4 was not great, if the purpose was to get a knight to g5 (which isn't really a very good place for the knight in this position anyway) it didn't need all that, and if the purpose was to open up the space, it didn't do much of that either, because even 4-5 moves down the line, space was still the same for white if not slightly worse.

To day you look much more fresh I hoped you did sleep well. The game was interesting as all of your games. The way you talk us through it. Afterwards of course you always know the best moves.....I must laugh when you say: I wish I could hear my mom yelling to me😂

Never been so early! Was waiting for this video Anna, you saved my night

Losing with a honest smile is much more difficult than winning. Good luck Anna, you are adorable.

the plan not working and still wanting to go through with the plan is very relatable

Imagine mid match Eric says "Oh no my Queen, please call an ambulance" 😂

congrats on 400k anna! grattis

Thanks Anna for making chess enjoyable again.

Love both of your content. Congrats!

Don't feel bad, you are learning!

Great video! Love your content Anna.

Good stuff! You have so much going for you! One of those things being that you do your recaps where people were hoping there might be peace and quiet! Lol! You should go to the Vatican and do a recap in a church until priests drag you out of there! Smoke would be coming out of their ears.

Well done you. That knight move was a turning point. But lessons learned.

following a chess game with your lucid commentary and a big smile even when losing, is priceless. You did great, it is your personality that goes in your play style and I completely agree with your last comment about the correct attitude when playing against an IM... u should choose the moves/think the way your mom does 🤭😉

Now I am going to listen to Eric's analysis of the game.

'Tactics flow from a good position'.

The ultimate showdown: the final battle to determine the most pleasant personality in chess

That was a pretty crazy coincidence lol Also, where'd you get that laptop cover? It's awesome!

The way you pronounced Trompowsky is actually correct, the way Levy says it is more 'english' pronounciation, yours is closer to the original

I normally watch Eric's channel and get his analysis of his games but KZfaq recommended this "perspective" to me. It was interesting. Good luck with the rest of the tournament.

"atrocious" is a great new word!

Eric should've been like "oh no, my rating points"

Awwww! Eric is so sweet! I watch his streams. He replied to a tweet also! ❤

She is too sweet and wholesome. My mind is overloaded.

loving these recaps

Nice game! Now waiting to see Eric's perspective from his channel

4:41 always good to clarify

Levy would be proud because of this opening choice

Honest game analysis!

i think my favorite part of the match was when Eric took your water when he left the table after the match.

Creo que tu plan fue absolutamente correcto, incluso enroque largo es válido...te faltó rematar, pero demostraste valentía, condición necesaria para crecer en el ajedrez. Enhorabuena por la partida! Un fiel seguidor de toda la familia!
