Chess Expert TROLLED Me Into Thinking He's a Beginner 

He was pretty good considering that he only learned chess two minutes prior to the game.

I am surprised he didn't say "I don't know the rules, but I'll learn as we play. "

man he was really good considering he learned chess the day after tomorrow

"You're really good at acting... I believed you like the whole way." - Anna is really good at acting.

played for 4 months -> 2 months -> 2 days -> just missing "actually it's his first game"

1. Pretends to be noob. 2. Plays dozens of moves of advanced theory. 3. Changes the date that he started playing Chess after further questioning.

I can also trick you in thinking im a beginner. I even go as far as actually losing like a beginner.

Respect to this guy, he can keep focus on the chess board

1:13 Anna: you play your moves as if you are/were really good though. Anna drops the piece the next move.

he gave you a pinky promise and lied wtf 😖

Anna, you're a good sport. And you've played SO MUCH chess, that you can immediately tell that someone is good just by the way he moves the pieces.

The most diplomatic I have seen someone repeatedly call someone else a liar. Love watching you Anna. If you give up chess you will make a wonderful diplomat.

First rule of chess: if the opponent says they are a beginner... Brace yourself!

"You're really good at acting... I believed you like the whole way. Well, no, actually. I stopped believing you after like 5 moves."

LOL when he stalled by getting Anna to debate him on whether he had 5 seconds or 50 seconds 😂actual genius

Anna, you really seem like one of the nicest people in this platform. Always smiling and with a positive attitude. Wish you all the best❤

3:00 damn he even pinky promised and still lied about it! THAT'S BLASPHEMY!!!

You can tell he's really good just by how he touches the pieces. He moved them briskly and centered then when he set them up...

Amazing how much study/practice/training pay off, I have to stop for minutes to calculate the moves your making. I learn so much watching these - thanks!!!

The way a person handles the pieces gives away whether or not they are experienced at chess.

He didn't ask for her name. There's no way a 2300 rated player doesn't know Anna Cramling.

you can always guess a rating by how a player physically handles a clock - he was clearly a >2,000 based on his clock button skills

I don’t understand chess at all but just from the way he moves the pieces while preparing for the game, you can see he has played many many games

the second he started setting up the board i knew he was good. u can just tell if a player is good from the way they move the pieces lol

I havent the slightest idea on how to play chess but i find myself always stumbling accross your videos and enjoy seeing your enthusiasm and how outgoing you are! And obviously easy on the eye!

This is why I love Anna

Her laughing at "don't know my rating" is so sweet my tooth aches

I find the best way to see if a player is a beginner or not is to put the king and queen on the wrong squares at the start and see if they notice.

Never underestimate your opponent. Always play to win. Defend yourself at all times.

The beginner played well, it's amazing how quick he moves the pieces.

He played the psychological game before the piece was even moved. Lying to get ahead won’t be a strategy that works all the time but helped him this time

If the advanced theory didn’t give it away the way he hit the clock certainly did. The double tap with less than a minute: hallmark of a strong player

Anna is so nice she wouldn't fully confront a liar even if he would say he is Anna Cramling lmao

Everything shows that he's an experienced player. Even the way he handles the pieces before game. None beginner behave like that.

@3:04 when I saw him spinning the pawn in his hand I knew he was a very good player

I think this kid should start learning chess soon

Anna's videos and streams are always a bright part of the day!

1:12 Anna: "You play your moves as if you played a lot"...continues by knocking pieces over 😂

the guy: dont look up, focus on the board.

Not taking that bait - he's been there, done that. Great moves under pressure.

That guy who betrayed the pinky promise - unforgivable.

Actually he’s legit ! I teach him chess two days after this match.

Not taking the rock gave him the 1-move-advantage because there was no check when the new queen arrived. Awesome gameplay!

A lesson : Don't underestimate your opponent

2:03 he forgot his own lie in less than a minute 🤣

"I thought he took the rook" - Anna 😊 . The guy is an expert swindler on and off the board . Time for Anna to put on her superhero (panda) costume and give the guy a thrashing using the cow opening .

Trust your instincts, but never give up your fun attitude.

If you intentionally try to lose on time, this is how you do it. Very instructive.

Instincts Anna, always trust your instincts ❤

Not bad for his first game

There's a difference between trolling and outright lying.

His focus on the board is impressive considering what else there is to look at. 😮

Always so much fun to watch Anna's matches. Chess Princess.

She has strong distraction tactics.

He broke the pinky promise:(

I love Anna reactions😂❤

All is fair in love and war, and he was in both dilemmas 😂

with all respect to this guy's chess skills, one thing is truly important: he is not distracted, and his eyes are focused on the board

Impressive that he didn't even fall for the trap at the end at such high speed. I'll never play like that or even attempt it. Crazy people.

La actitud de está chica es la mejor que he conocido en mi vida, es tan buena onda que no puedo con ella 🥺

Glad to see you back on line. Now go collect that pinky, He owes you.

It was obvious he was good at the beginning, or even before the game started. You could by how he set up the pieces. He then played the first couple moves accurately and easily and stayed in book for many moves. Easily 2000+ by the time the game started!

Eres muy simpática y haces una gran labor enseñando como se juega el ajedrez con buenos modales y empatía.

This guy is a genius, he handled everything well.

He's only played for 4 months, but his teacher was Hans Niemann

Boy did well to keep his eyes on the board.

Hes actually taking a course to learn it tomorrow

Simultaneously playing chess while investigating someone’s rating while on a 3 minute timer

Insane video Ana, you are a energetic person. It was very funny to see you playing ❤

that pinky promise tho😢

Really cool to see videos in Jardin du Luxembourg and Blitz Society.

Anna, I don't know a thing about chess but just have to watch! You are such a sweetheart!

As a person who even dont know the rules of chess I can say that the way how this guy moved his figures make me thinking he is a pro player.

Anna would make a great interrogater 😂

they way he played 1. e4 you could already tell he's good 😂

She nailed it quickly.

Always fun when experts troll each other like this

The moment he touched the first chess piece, I knew that’s not a beginner.

Hi Anna, funny video and yeah I'm glad you caught on to him within a few moves he was playing pretty textbook. Anyway, if you want hundreds thousands of extra views, have one of those Angelina Jordan's new songs from her new EP old enough, playing in the background on one of your videos and maybe even give us your opinion of one of the songs and put that it's an Angelina Jordan reaction within the video, and literally hundreds of thousands of us fans will find it and jump on your channel. I know you're all about Chess and that's what I love watching about you and your mom because you both have some very creative and interesting chess games and it's always a joy to hear you talk about your thinking process. So yeah I've been here a while, but today was Angelina's first EP release and she's been a child prodigy from Norway which is how I found out about her watching some Magnus things and she popped up on the feed. So yeah another prodigy from Norway that you simply must check out. It may also be really fascinating to hear you discuss the parallels between her and Magnus and why you think that each of them rose to the top of their respective fields, and how there might be some connection with Scandinavia or maybe it's in the water LOL. Anyway I'd love to see what you think and maybe you can make a video about it that would be really fascinating and you'd get a ton of views and cross-pollinate audiences. LMK what you think, I'd be tickled to death if you actually looked into this idea!

Typical of a good player to meticulously arrange his pieces at the beginning like that.

Anna you had him ! You missed the mate in the third last move

This whole thing in chess where people act like they're bad just to finally show how good they are is getting cliche and stale.

That extra queen made me think Anna started the game with a handicap 😭

Interesting end game and great setup from white at the end.

After the first five moves Anna knew she was going to lose lol. I love Anna 😂

The experience you have to have to not take that rook, knowing you'll lose a tempo when the pawn Queens with check! That one extra tempo won him the game.

That dude owes you his pinky now.

The blitz society is such a cool bar. We are lucky to have it... and you... and you in it.

crazy how she can tell that he's good in like 3 turns

He wasn't trolling you, i tought him how to play yesterday

I felt a spark there coming from Anna

Low cut top, hair flip, smiling while looking deeply in eyes. She is a Viking. She came to KILL. I love it.

8:29 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬

You can already tell by the way he is setting up the pieces in the beginning that he is not a beginner

anna cramling you must be good at end games protect your king at all times

'You're such a great actor, I believed you for 2 full seconds!'

I actually taught him chess tomorrow

I wish I was that good after only playing for 2 months. Wow, impressed

Grasshopper learned a lot about chess in two days of training, his teacher must be a Grand Grand Master

He is a good chess player, but dishonorable man.
