🏆 BOTEZ CHESS CAMP - ROUND 6 🏆 AGAINST NEMO @akaNemsko 

SPOILER: Anna took the risk going knight C8 instead of the draw through reputation with 1min on the clock vs nemo having 55 minutes, Pia seemed on the verge of a heart attack for almost the entire game alongside chat but made her so proud seeing Anna playing out the end game then coming through with the win! Great game by both. Win or lose is still lessons and skills learnt.

1050 rated player here. This was the first long chess game I've watched. Dude. I don't know if it gets any better for my money than this. The Grand Master mother doing commentary. The early time disadvantage. That crazy drama right at the end, and seeing how much they both care and how brilliant they both are? I don't know if it gets any better for my money.

WOW what a game!! The fact that you came back from so much time down was crazzzyyyy. You played an incredible end game with all the best moves with 1 minute on the clock. Well done Anna!

And then Nemo sacrificed.......THE CLOCKKKKKK!

Great game Anna I was chewing my nails off . Time management was a stressor for your Mom but Pia did a great commentary and was worried but then became so excited for you. Pia missed the illegal move and the clock fall and was very concerned with the clock showing you had lost time. Yet when they reset the clock and you made the first move after the restart she was so very proud and happy for you. Go rest and then study up for tomorrow. Get good sleep and come tomorrow clam, alert and on your game you can do this. We believe in you.✌💖🕯

Great win against Nemo. Much needed. Congrats.

Nemo was shaking after the clock dropped and they returned

Hi Anna! This match was really epic! Your precision and your cold blood when you had a huge time disadvantage (with such a strong opponent!) were incredibly immeasurable! I am only an amateur player but it was impossible not to see the match until the end (late night for me 😄). Well done 🤟!

I had to leave towards the end. Left apparently just before the excitement, lol. I was thinking Anna was going to draw when I left, so she surprised me when she won. Then there was that timeclock drop that I wasn't expecting.

You were SPECTACULAR at the end game! I'm so glad to be wrong as I was panicking saying "Go for draw!" but you maintained your cool for the win! CONGRATS! I think that the Nemo adopting you thing now is officially voided 😃.

Posted a pic on X, she got to the clock on time, but the bishop was left on an illegal square. The clock smash was so unintentional, and funny.

I had to go to sleep half way through the game and couldn't watch further. So I asked chat who is like to win the game and they said Nemo is likely going to win. Came back in the morning and Anna won!

Incredible game!! GG!!

These games are cool to follow. Almost 6 hours of free chess lessons in lots of positions from a GM.

Anna proved me wrong.

Anna - If there is a Botez Camp next year, may I suggest bringing in a couple ping pong tables and have a tourney on off day. I really want to see who has some athletic skills. I have a feeling it’s going to be one of the funniest streams.

So happy to see Anna win this one, and in such a wild fashion. Crazy stuff, so exciting!

Amazing game, it was nicely played by Anna, congrats! ✨

Deeply felt congratulations @Anna! You gained a superior position and you securely converted it in a technically demanding endgame, although you were down on time. I'm so glad you won again after two losses in a row against strong opponents.

We Swedes are private. My mom is from Mamma Cramling's neck of the woods and age. I am also born in the Woods, but i touch older than you, Anna. Visste nothing about chess before I stumbled upon a short of you one sleepless night. I would so LOVE to see a post game first talk with Mamma. I think the world would too. You are sick commentators to each other. Även utan konskaper, dramat håller mig kvar att kolla. You are truly awesome! Södra Stockholm Utd!

It was one of the most dramatic and exciting matches I have seen in many a year!😊 Not least because of the clock-gate, not least because of the bishop-gate and the half-hour interruption that resulted, and not least because of Papa Botez and Dina serving as (unlikely) arbiters towards the end!😂 The match truly had everything. Personally I applaud Anna for having the guts to play moves 27-39 on increments only and she's done ever so well. On reflection, it's during those moves that Miss Nemo should have taken more time to work out ways to hurt Anna and aim to "turn the screw", and she didn't do that - sadly for her. An excellent study material for anyone who's poor at chess like me😅 oh and huge thanks of course must go to Pia for her outstanding live commentary!❤🙏👍

Great game from 2 exceptional young women And one exceptional older woman on the sideline

Dina was statuesque.

That was really thrilling, the endgame was fantastic. Annas mother saw it before that the black king should go to the center, when Anna moved it to c5 first. Nemo also played too fast and overconfident for most of the game.

Well played by Anna. White's 51. a6 was a blunder, facilitating black's win.

Greatest respect to Pia and congratulations to Anna.

Sicilian Four Knights Variation with Be2 is always very strong for white. Get the bishop out safely and castle quickly can get you pretty far in a 1500 game, that's for sure.

Nice win, poor Nemsko ;-(

so great to see Anna looking so healthy and happy!

Save the drama for your momma. GG Anna

Anna your mother is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Grattis Anna till ett fantastiskt välspelat parti!

Very Exciting WIN Anna! Woohoo!!

awesome winner for the underdog!

Go for 2200 FIDE. You can do it. You have played amazingly in this competition ❤❤❤! Well done.

Mum's wherd that twinkle come's from 😅I feel your posted twinkle was a move of your own 😂😂😂

If I could like this twice I would. It was so exciting.!

Your mom is your perfect friend ❤very nice team congratulations. This women's are so crazy good super tournament 🎊👏👏

Isn't there any web page where we can see the pairings, standings, etc...?

Go to 5:28:34 If you are here for the final drama where mamma Cramling goes bewildered and confused.

Wow, congrats!!

Did I miss something? Did Nemo move twoce without Anna moving? Once before clock and then after?

One of your best games.

Felicidades, muy bien merecido

CLOWNS! NO ARBITER PRESENT AT CRITICAL MOMENT!😡

Incredible nerves🙃

⭐️💪⭐️💪⭐️💪⭐️💪⭐️

Ayuda a Andrea enseñale y compartan amistad first.❤

You go ahead and think 3 or 4 moves ahead of the game. I can make one wrong move,--and mess it all up. :)

Your rating should be higher.

Amazing game, congrats on the win, thanks for this 12 second pic with these 5 awesome ladies (5:41:39 - 5:41:51)! 💝

LFG!

This early in the game, (min 56:21), I have no problem sacrificing a bishop to move a pawn from in front of their king. It opens up opportunities that you normally don't have IMO, and concentrates the power on their king from that point on.

👍

What a crazy ending! What would have happened if the players or arbiter had noticed that Nemo's original rushed move was (inadvertently) illegal?

harris, get OFF our commercials BEGGING for more money to ruin America with!

a 6 hour video, really?

Do any yall think Nemo purposely dropped the clock just to try to get out of the game somehow. She seemed desperate for anything.

No offense but so nice to see Nemo lose.

The next time you develop a new opening, (or tactic. But I hope with a better name than "The Cow opening". I like "The Cramling Crunch" better, for example, because your name is in it.),---------------don't publicize it. Use it in an important game. They will not know what to do. :) It is fine to then dedicate it to Bobby Fischer, for thinking outside of the box (proven by you), to victory. :)

Amazing game, I was glued to my phone. I’m glad you picked up on that whole cheating thing going on. Nemo the cheato got to be punished

Anna played one game here. Her Mother? Over 600. No wonder why the game is so confusing. Overload of possibilities does not teach me how one person won one game. I find it 100% distracting to my learning process, to be distracted 600 times. As Teddy Roosevelt once said, "It is the man in the ring that counts." Sorry. No offense to nice people. But it does not work for me.
