I Got Paired Against Another UNDERRATED Kid… 

13 year old kid Richard is there all dressed up, together with his mom. 20 year old kid Anna is there all dressed up, together with her GM mom.

Kid has a bright future in the game for sure. Removing one-move-blunders comes down to taking your time a little bit more, which I'm sure he learned.

"he played a fantastic game up until that point" ... -My Spectators on move two.

I felt so bad for the youngster, he will for sure learn from this!

I hope Richard Hasala sees this and realizes how well he was playing. Blunders happen: They feel awful, but I think it is something every chess player has to work through and learn how to handle mentally going forward.

Making a move and immediately realizing it was a huge mistake. Pretty sure we can all relate to that one.

I can relate so much to the boy, I’ve had some heartbreaking games but they’ve only made me come back stronger

He was so nervous the entire time (often trying to look at the position from white's pov) and stil played a great game. Congrats to both :)

I love these recap videos! Thank you for these. You got this, Anna!

this kid did great hurra for him, Great sport and show respect , and congrats on that game save and win

The extra effort to pick visually striking backgrounds for your recap videos is great.

I think you have handled this situation very well. You have demonstrated great respect for your young opponent. 👍👏👍. I was watching the game live but had to go back to work a few moves before the blunder, so I came back to see what happened..... 😊

This last image when he realized his mistake is very sad tbh. He did an amazing game

I love hearing Ana talk about her opponents. She’s such a sweetheart and a hype man lol.

As a beginner this is fascinating, but so fast. My mind is trying to process the logic. This is honestly often overwhelming for me.

Way to destroy the poor kid's ego... Not by beating him at chess, but telling everyone his mother combed his hair for him. Shame on you! 🤣

Love these tournament recaps! Congrats on the win!

I like how you speak so respectfully about your opponents. Also very interesting to understand the thought process from your side. Learning so much about tactics. Thanks and good luck in the tournament

These videos have been great, looking forward to seeing your future matches. All the best, Anna!

Loving the format of these videos between the gameplay and the commentary, keep it up Anna!

Grattis! Och fin analys. Du är så go när du beskriver dina motståndare!

He looked so sad… Thanks for these vids. You talking us through your thoughts is very instructive.

So excited for the next recap!

You have such a fun, authentic personality and I learn a ton from this channel. Appreciate you and you parents and keep making awesome content please!

Good luck in the tournament Anna, I really dig your videos and your way of analizing!

Really enjoying these videos Anna! Good luck! I’m cheering you on! 👏🏼

Just love watching you explain with that beautiful smile. Thank you x

I love your explanations, I learn so much by watching your commentary on your thougths and your play.

This is by far my favorite content on your channel 😊

Dang i was supposed to go to sleep. But now I'll have to watch this first. Thanks for your great videos Anna! 🙂

Hi Anna, nobody uses their mousepad for FPS games... Anyway great video and really good game.

Dang. The little warrior got a tough wound. Wish him best for his recovery. Stay strong kid.

If she didn’t point out the punch to the rook I wouldn’t have noticed it. It was a pretty sneaky move. That kid definitely had the drip though.

Bra spelat! Alltid kul att se :D

Poor kid, but I'm sure he'll bounce back. The look on his face when he realises he's blundered his rook. Such a shame. But he's young. He'll learn from this

Nice game, and good luck. Thanks for sharing your anallisys.

Once again, a fascinating session. THANK YOU, Anna.

I was stunt on the last moves. The kid was so good against you. Good job on the win and lets start a win streak Anna !!!

Im so happy you are getting better, best of lucks Anna you have this : )

Congrats on the win! Good luck for the next game!

Good recap, Anna, and good luck!

Go Anna !!! Very instructive as usual.

imagine being 13, having Anna sit over you for over an hour and people expecting you to focus on a chess game

Loving these quick updates!

Been watching you play. Love hearing your mom commentate

Go anna! Looking forward to the next game recap (:

Anna your content lately has been so good!

The way you explain moves is very helpful

Fun commentary! Great energy.

Anna, you are a genuine blessing to the World of Chess, Thank you so very much for your videos.

Good luck for your next game, Anna. I appreciate your content.

Great videos Anna, best of luck and have fun!

Pia after Anna plays 20 Tournaments: "hey everyone it's your girl Pia! Here with another unboxing slash reaction livestream!!"

Awesome job with these recaps!

the 'ol claw movement!!!! this kid will rebound. I played a guy online who had 22,000 games and hung his queen.......chess, what a crazy game.

Hanging a full rook out of nowhere. We've all been there

The best for you, Anna!

Wow good analysis. Thanks for doing this, normal casual chess people appreciate it!

I love when she steps away from the laptop when she's being critical of her choices. So adorable

The bit about the mom fixing the kid's hair is so cute. :)

I’m so intrigued Anna, I will redownload twitch for you❤

At the end, I thought he’d play rook A7, but this would still lead to a queen trade.

GG Anna! Congrats on your win! Good Luck on your next game.

Great upload, thx! It is like an ai rendered the video, with the prompt: "Volumetric lighting" which means that a haze or glow is visible, due to lightbeams crashing into tiny particles in the air. And your analysis and "reading" of your opponents tells felt very enlightened as well. Angellike video.

These game recaps are very interesting. The commentary on the literal experience is something you don't normally see on chess youtube. Very intense story telling! Definitely feel bad for this kid hanging his rook...

Tunnel vission hits hard, lil guy was very focused on queen tactics and prep moves entire game and forget about the rook. Good game from both sides

Youngster has a lot of potential... Anna is no slouch and he actually gave her a run for her money.

so proud of you and your mom did great today, thanks so much for streaming it all! Good luck tomorrow and sleep well!

Good luck Anna!! Tactical AND Aggressive!!

He'll learn from that experience and be a better player because of it. Congratulations Anna!

kid moves back the bishop: "he was playing insanely good moves"

Underrated kids are a pain in the ass, they're just a chance to lose Elo LOL The worst thing is they're often in "bubbles" against other underrated kids and thus stay underrated

I like good analysis of good games and keep up with a short list of three. I am quite comfortable with your ingenuous patient move-by-move approach, especially helpful because from the primary source, the player herself. You're accessible especially to beginners because you seem to assume the minimum of prior knowledge. Yay 🙂

Loved this

The idea is that individuals may be able to remember the context in which they made an error and by so doing think not only of the error itself but also of the surrounding context in which it was made clear that the error had been made... Klart grabben var skärrad. I den åldern är youtuber stora idoler. Good luck to your both.

Its always interesting when an opponent notices a blunder and looks them in the eyes!

GG Anna, nice job! Good luck!

Came here after reading the CNN article… Anna, you’re a star! Wishing you wellness and empowerment!! Man or woman, extremely few ppl have such a rare combination of analytical intelligence, communication skills, charisma, AND a pleasant aesthetic. No intention whatsoever to invalidate your feelings, unwanted advances are certainly uncomfortable for everyone, and feeling unsafe is literally the worst state of being. I only hope you are able to see this scenario as well as you can see the board. Everyone is playing within their best vision of this weird game, and, through universal blessings and your hard work, you’ve received and earned promotion to have more major pieces than most. Being a woman in a predominately male sport, has its unique set of challenges to which I have no clue and no intention of pretending I know what that is really like. I would only like and hope to send you light so you can see through the shadows of all masculine (and feminine) archetypes to play your game with the utmost clarity. If you want to be the queen or king, the power is in your hand! Personally, I’ve been a casual chess lover since childhood, and have never had a better sense of understanding the game as I did simply watching this one video here. So, thank you for sharing your gift with me and the world 🙏

You are great fun Anna. Thanks for posting.

Hope your current game is going well. Great job creating strength from a weak opening.

GG and good luck for the next match

Mrs. Cramling, you have so much personality. Your enthusiasm for chess has sparked my former interest in the game. Good luck to you.

I felt so sorry for the kid, but of course so happy for you Anna.

Good game Anna! Succes with the next one! :)

Top player resign so early after a mistake. At my level this game had another halve hour in it.

Interesting that the top Icelandic chess player told you "just trade queens" and it will probably be good for you. You traded queens and won the game. That is amazing to me.

Kid was wearing a Minecraft shirt with a suit 😂😂😂 What a legend

GM Pambleton plays these positions in his london series. So maybe you should look into those.

Anna!! gana ese torneooo:D animoooo:D

chat and your mom were so happy when you played F3

Congratulations ✌ keep it up, wish you all the best

Love watching your growing excitement about the tournament. Make sure you develop those rooks😅

Congrats you won the second match...good luck 👍🔥🔥🔥👍

That was so painful to watch, I know what that feels like - it's extremely difficult to accept losing because of a blunder like that. Hopefully he's able to "get over it" and bounce back and have a good tournament.

Good work Anna!

poor kid....he did really good. head up king

Queen change is not only the one move! Also possible is to move the castle and defend the queen. Tc2 feasible

Hi Anna: Love your passion for Chess.Really enjoy your videos.Thank you.

Hi Anna and everyone:-)))) greetings from Slovakia and from Richard (Riško, Rishko, as we call him). I really didnt know you before, but you are very strong chess player and you look like very nice, warm hearted, incredibly great person to meet!!!!!! So glad what you´ve told about him and how nice you were. Hope to see you in some other tournament (Rejkyavik again?) and hope that you´ll remember Riško. Always a pleasure to play against chess players like you - great at chess, not spoiled, not distant, fair, well, everything:-))))) I have to say to everybody, WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE GREETINGS, (even from our country or the Czech Republic, as I consider myself still a czechoslovak), and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WISHES AND WARM COMMENTS. haters, I´ll try to forget ... Thay only project what´s inside them ... i pity them, but Iĺl forget ... Riško was reading some of the comments yesterday (for the first time). The most significant thing about him is that he loves chess and everything about it ... he loves to play chess, tournaments, isnt affraid of strong oponnents, always try to give his best. He was so happy that we allowed him to go to Iceland (quite a distance from our country). he is ok, dont worry. RIŠKO HAS ONE MESSAGE FOR YOU: THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY. So, maybe he´ll one day be a great chess player, maybe not, and will be good at something else. But we support him to do what he loves the most in the worls (except our family of course:-). The important thing is, that he will be - and is - a good person (also thanks to the chess and its culture), loves the game, wishes always the best - and to win to all his chess friends, helps others. Every match for him is a chance to learn. He is learning (mostly chess) every day (although we are about to do the chemistry homework right now:-). I only believe, he was just "in the flow state of mind" almost all the game, except for the rock of course. But it happens. He is only at the beggining of his chess carierre, for he is playing chess (from his first chess class) something longer than four years. Has more intuition than theory (working on it). And he works hard, because to him, its fun /to sit for hours at home analyzing the games, watching them, or doing other chess stuff:-) I dont want you bore any more, but this was a huge surprise for us, like HUGE. What is the posibility that in the 2 nd round you will be paired against a famous chess player (and for real, hope no offense Anna, he didnt know you at all - he was just concentraiting on the game before him). So that you ´ll be paired against anna cramling, and play that well ... he could as well play bad (and he can do that too). So if there is a "chess heaven", maybe it likes his attitude:-) BUD THANK YOU TO YOU ALL, RESPECT TO YOU ALL! and some fun in the end: "I was also affraid he would be destryed after the game, but he was not happy, that´s for sure, but he said with a bit of fun "Now I will be famous in Sweden" :-))) and me - "of course you will" - and we laughed. Than he started to analyze the game. Although, people at the tournaments after the Rejkyavik - in Slovakia were recognizing him:-). (And started to prepare against him:-). So have a nice rest of the Sunday, and all the best to you all - and thanks again, ANNA.

Before the blunder I think Rc2 was guarding everything plus guarding the queen through an X ray.
