Pia Cramling is the fifth ever woman to earn the FIDE title of Grandmaster (GM). Since the early 1980s, she has been one of the strongest female players in the world as well as having been the highest-rated woman in the FIDE World Rankings on three occasions. In playing the Kan, Black is keeping their position as flexible as possible by not committing any minor pieces. With 4...a6, Black prevents Nb5 and prepares an eventual ...b5 advance.

thank you very much! I've been looking for Pia's games and there is so little videos about her

@R.Akerman-oz1tf 6 ай бұрын

And, Pia took a great photo! I remember Judit Polgar, sadly not Pia.

Pia is still so strong at her age and I think if she trust more in herself and improves her stress with little time could Kick away all these young strong women of nowdays, Pia is amazing but she is too humble its good to be humble but not to much. She and her family are just adorable, impossible to not love them.😊

@stefantimmermans9848 21 күн бұрын

Pia plays/played it all to nice ! Anna uses it as well. Its inspiring. Sammys presentation is top as well, in line with the master ! Thanks for sharing

In my opinion Kan, together with Classical Sicilian, are the best two Sicilian variations to play at intermediate to advanced level. Sound constructions, full of attacking potential yet much less theory than Najdorf. Great games and nice work as always!

Woah the game where Pia won in the Champiosnhip against a piece of Swiss Cheese was so good

I don't know any openings but I've been doing the swiss cheese variant this whole time. Very reassuring that it's a legitimate strategy. Although, I now realize I've been reaching beyond my current ability and should stay with a traditional openings until I improve.

Well done, thank you! This is the first time I've seen your channel, but I enjoyed your narration, and with my first degree in English, I appreciated some of your articulate and descriptive word choices. It was also a very nice touch to include complete scores for all three games...I have never seen that done in all the chess channels I've watched. I've subscribed and "liked" your video, and I look forward to more of them. All the best from the US!
