My GM Mom Got Invited To a $25k Chess Tournament... 

He calls Pia a living legend cause well... she is a living legend. Look at everything she achieved! I would be happy to achieve only a quarter of this

I love to see GM Pia Cramling playing, as well as analysing with detailed playing lines described in detail.

Pia is very much a celebrity for us old folks. ❤

So many young people take their parents for granted. It’s refreshing to see the love, support, and the beautiful relationship you have with your mom. ❤ Good luck to her. 🤞🤞🤞🙌

First 5 mins of this is so inspirational, sandpaper couldn't erase ALL of their grins and joy. Pia - living legend

So is right. She was one of the first Women GM without the "W". When I was young, there where Chiburdanidze and years later the Polgae Sisters and your Mum I knew by name.

My god, chess players are such dorks. I LOVE THEM ALL.

This was awesome. The older thinking gen vs the young calm gen. The chess talk, the kindness just great!

Great coverage. I wish we knew what Wesley and Alice were laughing about. That happened so often it was suprising Robert Hess didn't mention it.

Go Pia!!!!

"By the way guys this was my childhood" . . . . What a childhood ! 🤯

I love how Anna puts herself in the center!

It was 😂 during the interview, lol along w/ Anna and Robert (Interviewer) trying getting out the fighting words.😂😎.

I think that three part eval-bar was based on grandmasters' results with the opening variations. Lots of draws.

Very cool. Good luck Pia!!

So hard to decide who i love most of your family, all goated! such a perfect example of how life should be lived. such an inspiration. netflix needs to create a documentary of you lovely ppl. anna gonna be topkek soon.

Your mom is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome. In so many ways.

Holy guacamoly!! That eval line jumping around in the second game!!!!

"The opposite of trash talking." :)

Lets Go Pia Own them.

Both Wesley and Alice essentially live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Wesley lives in Minnetonka which is a suburb of Minneapolis.

I’m looking at 5 brilliant players discuss the errors of their ways, and I still can’t figure out which piece moves forward, diagonal, etc. Ah, perhaps one day….

Pia and Peter are such a funny combo

So fun watching, thanks!😅

Pia Cramling is a good players too! God bless you Anna and Pia Cramling!

katana behind peter leko.....dopeeeee

Anna, my favorite Chess Streamer. It’s not even close. Levy makes Chess exciting. Igor Smirnov favorite coach, Banzea and Rosen great too. But Anna Cramling wins big-time, because of her sprightly, brightly, innocent enthusiasm. Anna, you are a bright star. Never lose your innocence (or fake it).

Judit Polgar and Pia Cramling team would be awesome too:D

Leko is hilarious 😂😂😂

I was able to see the last few moves of the match. It's a new and interesting format, particularly for elevating the discourse beyond the silent corridors of the mind. Ofc a lot of it is indeed trash talk but there's a great deal of substance as well!

I loved this.

What a nice community!

The sword is just in case he loses. lol

"This was my childhood" 😂😂

I love playing chess, but I know I will never understand the game the way these legends do.

Someone help Wesley comb his hair.

this was awesome!!!!!!!! claps!!!!

it is a Samurai sword

Sehr cool your Mom looks young and powerfull , she will clean up the Tournament .

Wesly is a gem

I thought they might have gone queen c2e4 forcing a queen swap in the second game near the end. Unless I’m missing something which is very possibly since I don’t play chess often.

I really like the team idea and defo want to watch but I'm not sure about the time.... too short, not enough time to talk. It will just the the strongest player playing the strongest player.

I just saw this video. It is the first time when I see something like that. The analyses after the second game it is a true Chess school class . I mean , they practically remade the game on every 2 moves and they explored all probabilities. That was very entertaining. And the dialog was at a very hi level mature discussion. It is not necessary for trash talk. Please do not encourage more the trash talk. Everybody can talk trash. My opinion is that we need more of this. This is what we want . More! I am very interesting of what this people are eating, drinking, how much time they are sleeping every night, if they are jogging,etc... Tomorrow I will clean the dust from my chess board and start playing again after 25 years. On the second game you could say easily that the Black had before the King that three pawns formation plus the Knight in advantage. The white had the pawns spread all over the board. They kept this advantage until the end and they won. I made many times this mistake. I had many times one pawn advantage, sometimes i had a Bishop or a Knight in advantage in the middle of the game, but at the end , i lost. Just because the opponent had a good defense strategy. Always it is about strategy , strategy, strategy. Very nice. Good luck with your videos. Ciao!

Can we see Pia and Peter as a commentary duo in the future?

Your laugh ❤

Why not Pia and Anna as a team? If you are gonna team Hikaru with Levy? Then again, seems like Levy is the only influencer chess player in there. You know what? What about Anna together with Gary Kasparov? That will be content!

Wesley reminds me of Sheldon 😂

"This is my childhood by the way" 😂

Surely it should be a longer time control to give them time to discuss?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who noticed the katana in Peter Leko's background

last comment on this, i hope.. they are all having so much fun. poor anna is hopping like a dyslexic kangaroo with raw happiness lol. no more duracell for you~ tbh i think if pia flied solo and wasn't distracted by being graceful, prolly be a better result. this is pure joy to watch.

Wow!!! Mother and daughter tandem..

Good luck mommy

When your mom goes and watches this shes going to say wow my team mate way over thought that first game. I should of just went with my gut. Her oppening was ruined cuz he told her to push the wrong pawn. And it all went down hill from there

I swear, you'll find OF ads in the weirdest places....

you should have made yourself smaller and placed yourself on a Queen piece, you are the Queen Anna. you would have to keep moving as the Queen moved though lol

Only if hikaru wasn’t there your mom could have a chance

Anna what is your rating?

When I was child in the 90th I remembered That I saw a game that your Mom wan when she was 10 years old against the famous player Kortechnoi . Please let us see that game.

Where are the resign button. So cute💚

That's a good picture of your mom, I think.

It looked like Alice and Wesley were laughing because they were listening to the other's teams strategy, which seems kind of problematic.

Better format would be one calls out the type of piece and the other then has to move one. So example Peter would say "Bishop" and that is all the info Pia has so then Pia would have to move one of the bishops trying to do what Peter wants. Then next move Pia might say "Rook" and now Peter has to read her mind and move a rook. This way both players are truly involved and the stronger player can't end up having the final say. It is way more fun also.

I cant believe pia lost. Oh no. She plays beautifully tho

WHEN??????? Edit: oh, ok... IS DA GAME??????

They are both thinkers and they need to moooove! LOL!

🥰

I don't see u

i want to see a blind anonymous match between your mum and your dad. With you commenting on the match but not knowing who is who.

bro i cringed so hard when u said peter "leeko"

As strong as Wesley So is, can't he just dictate moves and it's a done deal? :) He's world ranking 8

☺️👍

I love your mom but her biggest fault is she always runs the clock too much. I guess you do that too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You’re both light years ahead of me in chess

Pia's rating is way too low..

Alice isn't 15 yrs old yet?

Wow, Pia and her teammate both GMs, but Hikaru handicaps himself with Levy... Though Levy's rapid rating is probably as good as Pia's, if not better... What is Hikaru's rapid rating, like 3000?

Wesley didnt make it look easy he basically just let her play and didnt say much. Your moms team mate way over thought it from the start

Anna. I love the enthusiasm! But you were soooo in the way during this coverage of the game. The screen had four players on it. More than enough to keep track of. You commentating was ok yes. But for something with this much on the screen I'd follow the "less is more" principle.

First xd

but u didn't get invited though

I really dont like Peter... Some arrogance and a little agresesive...

Question Anna...do your parents have jobs ?

Anna, i am grateful that you are putting up a different make-up style. It's definitely not my business. I just want to humbly offer my feedback that it may not look as great as you expected under camera.

With interpersonal communication in the mix, and agreement on tactics and strategy on the line, people who have to talk more to get or fail to get consensus are more likely to lose.

Man - They cheated, heard their strategy - 1st game. Did I hear that right?

I'd bet there are going to be a lot of DRAWS, (ties).
