I Checkmated Him in 14 Moves... 

As a Norwegian, we dont claim this man or his skills

Guys. Basic rule. Anna is super distracting so don't look at her, don't respond to her questions, be super scared when she is chatting away on HER time and not bothering to move. Just pretend you are somewhere else. It will delay your loss.

Bringing out your queen at the start of the game is a really good way to help your opponent develop pieces

Anna smashing muggles with a smile on her face as usual

Because of the conversation you two had, I did a quick search and discovered that Norway and Sweden fought two short wars in the early 1800s, and were in a union as countries until 1905.

He didn’t play the best chess. But he got to play and chat a little with Anna so he is a winner.

your videos have me back playing chess after 40+ years of not playing. still fun.

5:15 watch as Anna tries to contain herself from reacting to his move and instead politely listens to her opponent. Great self control, Anna! lol

First winning a queen and then checkmating with knights and bishop without even using your own queen, now that´s beautiful

It's fun to hear the banter between Sweden and Norway.... Just shows how nice the people are from that area......thanks for the video

That knight checkmate was nice!

"You're playing well. I feel like you're the best chess player in the group." Leave it up to Anna to make a sarcastic remark sound like a genuine compliment. If Dinah Belenkaya had said something like that, one could've tasted the snark.

This man is an absolute beginner in chess.

"Sweden is better than Norway" - Anna 😂 . Poor guy .

"are you ready to say goodbye to your queen?" haha thats cold

Anna’s rizz is unmatched. Just the most likable, engaging, charming person.

I am no great chess player but as soon as he brought out his queen and started losing tempo as Anna chased it around I knew he was doomed. Even I know that is an amateur mistake.

Love how "Snurre" is pronounced with such obvious pitch accent even though you two were speaking in English not swedish/norwegian 😅

You just beat me in 14 moves, and I must say you also played very well...ha....too funny!

4:40 you’re playing well as the eval bar shows he’s almost completely lost 🤣

"Sweden is better than Norway, ok, thanks, bye" 🤣🤣🤣

"It works sometimes against the bots" LOL But not against Anna... she nailed him witha "Horns of the Cow" checkmate.

Hard to tell whether the "You are playing well" while he does total BS was seriously kind, or just very subtle vicious mockery.

He moved his queen five times while Anna developed at least four pieces, most of which were attacking moves. He needs to review her video where she covers: 1) Check 2) Capture 3) Attack in calculating potential moves. Oh yes, also where she discusses defending one's own pieces at all times, if possible. Both of these points have helped my own game.

5:00 "but I think you’re going to mind very soon" 😂😂😂

Oooh I'm from the Netherlands and thought "hey I can read the posters on the wall😅" But now to the game, Anna says "you play quite well" but let's be honest....Snurre moved only his much to early queen around and get a punishment for that. Anna forked him with a check, she could take his rook, but chose for the pon instead....and looked at Snurrre's face at that moment. Wondering if he actually saw that or not. So she makes a second forked on the other side with a check....again Anna didn't take the rook and I thought...oh Anna doesn't want to hurt him to much, but I was wrong! She saw a checkmate coming, that's why she didn't take the rook😂 Always love to see Anna play and talk and her body language ❤

Watching this guy made me more confident about my 150 elo abilities ahaha

Anna has almost become a reason of fight between Sweden chess-players and Norwegian artists in the Dutch bar. The Armageddon Clocks never were so close to the midnight😁

Anna's conclusion: "Sweden is better than Norway", as an offhand parting shot. ahahaha ))

I love your straight face just before the final checkmate, I bet inside you were secretly loving his pain.

Anna saw his level early and took it a bit easy and was kind to give him me credit than he deserved but that's what good people do.

That guy was a disaster.

Don't let her sweet nature fool you... Anna is a savage!! Lol that was brutal! Didn't even bother taking the rooks, went right for the win lol

The way her expression changed when he started playing and she saw his skill level.

Anna's happiness when she wins makes me play more chess

Jesus this was like u playing someone that never even played before😂

"Are you ready to say goodbye to your queen?" She said coyly.... Ok, maybe not so coyly! She's good!

Anna you always seem to have a great connection with every player. I feel like you are the “fizz queen “ as the kids say.

Anna, you were so gentle & patient with this clueless fellow. Well played.

After his second move he was already in trouble.

That checkmate was gangsta!

WOW! Anna, do not tell him that his strategy sometimes work. Tell him not to do it ever again. lol

Im rated 440 in 3 min blitz and I honestly feel I would’ve given you a better game. He must’ve been star struck or something.

Absolutely I would play you in a game of chess. Surely I would lose the actual game, but it would be fine, the pleasantness of your conversation, as well as the "learning points" that you give your opponents, and your energy and smile, I know that is ALWAYS A WIN for me.

You are an ambassador for the game. You are competitive but, make the matches friendly and fun. Chess Princess.

The guy was too busy flirting to focus on the game.

Haha when Anna says you got your queen out early and that it works against the bots, that isn't a compliment!

Bra Anna, du gjorde oss inte besvikna! :)

anna says, Your playing well your best of the bunch, He moved 1 pawn & followed with his queen, 1 move later she takes his queen..

“Sweden is better than Norway okay thanks bye.” Haha

You smoked him Anna 😂. I knew it wasn't going to end well when he brought the queen out second move against a master!

It's great that he's Norwegian but you can't hope to beat a Swedish Anna with a bonkers Queen!

My friends, this was not a chess match. It was a conversation, and a pleasant one.

This may be the first time that I comprehended what Anna was going to do at the same moment Anna knew. So maybe I am starting to progress.

Anna: "You're playing well..." Sarcasm level 11 🤣

I like seeing her trying to be tactful instead of just being blunt about how terrible someone is.

I moved from Sweden five years ago now, but I still care if Sweden wins over Norway. Well played Anna!

She's Swedish, he's Norwegian and they both speak perfect English. Sometimes, Euros are amazing.

His second move was a bit insulting but the game was a real laugh, her chasing him around the board with one knight for a while, classic.

The queen went for an early morning stroll. Should have taken her security detail with her...

Anna, talking about when she lost against Magnus: "but it was an endgame!" Bro: "wtf is an endgame?"

"You're playing well". Anna, you flatterer. Then he blunders his queen into a royal fork

Anna, killing him quietly: "You're playing well!" *family fork*

He moved his queen way too early. And she BS'd her way into really disarming him.

Anna's technique consists of talking to her opponent to distract him so she can beat him hahaha.

I love the little under the eyelids look at about 7:06. Checking to see if he realizes hes toast. LOLLLOLLOLLO

When he brought out the Queen so early, Anna must have wanted to roll her eyes.

På norsk: Snorre Sturlason var en islandsk høvding, historiker og skald, og hørte til en av de mektigste ættene på Island, så Snorre/Snurre er et gammelt norrønt navn. Det er laget fra verbet snurre. Navnet kan ha betydd ‘den raske’ eller ‘den uvørne’. Greetings from Norway 🙂 In english: Snorre Sturlason was an Icelandic chieftain, historian and poet, and belonged to one of the most powerful families in Iceland, so Snorre is an old Norse name. It is made from the verb spin. The name may have meant 'the swift' or 'the fearless'. Greetings from Norway 🙂

Hard to believe he put any thought into that game at all. Hopelessly outclassed.

A Swede plays a Norwegian in Amsterdam - and they both speak English. I am constantly depressed at how comparatively poor I am at languages.

As a total beginner, I take comfort knowing that I at least wouldn't have made some of the baffling mistakes this guy made. He lasted 8 minutes, I'm pretty sure I would have lasted 9.

Omg Anna was in my country!!! 🇳🇱 Next time I want to play a game and have banter too!!

Norway isn't better than Sweden, they are both the same - like Canada and America or Australia and New Zealand. Now I think I'm really in trouble 🙂

4:46 "You're playing well"?!?! Really Anna? Take his phone number lol.

The Norwegian and Anna should make the moves off the chess board.

Felt like watching a date turning into slaughter.

Anna was very gracious. He was obviously overmatched.

You are a nice person you don’t make anyone feel small it’s very honourable

He wasn't worried about his queen being that exposed and in danger at the start of the game, and missed four forks?! Dude...! ):

I have been learning a lot from you and that game was too funny

You were more than generous in telling him that he was playing well. It's like in poker where the saying is, "Don't tap on the glass." Don't disturb the fish. Until you crush them.

“You only have ONE move”!!😂

He is definitely a complete beginner that had no idea how strong Anna was! I'm nowhere near as good as Anna is and I knew he was playing complete rookie moves! But she had the right attitude to keep him interested in playing chess, winning graciously is a good skill that I think comes naturally to her

Anna - You forked him and forked him again. So much forking.

He was thinking about everything except chess 😅

The queen moves showed he was a beginner, most chess players could have beaten him quickly, without breaking sweat.

Funny. And your poker face works wonders. You didn't move a muscle when you told him he was playing well. LOL

I'd hate to watch this guy eat because he obviously never heard of a fork.

Lol that was a really bad Benoni! It made me laugh how bad it was. Love the Benoni.

Sweden vs. Norway, but the stage is in the Netherlands and the conversation in English? How did that happen...?

I'm the impossible so anyone can try me even Magnus Carlsen won't beat me in chess 😂

Wow. That was brutal. I think he could have held on longer if he had played his only other legal move on his last move

She just bets Sweden’s pride casually 👏👏

Think I'll just sashay my queen around the plaza

a swede and norwegian in denmark it's like the viking trifecta

Anna is able to make the sweetest trash talk ever

He missed the most fundamental part of the game...control the center squares and develop your pieces. Anna chased the early queen advance all over the place and developed her pieces in the process...and checkmated him with both knights (rare)

This guy must be high. Snurre is not common Norwegian name. Snorre is a more common name, but it does not mean spin. Only Snurre i've heard of is Snurre Sprett, which is Bugs Bunny in Norwegian.

Ten thousand Swedes went through the weeds looking for one Norwegian!
