For those wondering what happened to the eval bar at the end ! At 9:22 I've just looked it up, with engine because it's really not simple ! The best move for black (and only winning move) was Bc2 ! And in the game after Rf2 it's equal if white finds Rb8+ Kf7 Rb2 The check is important because the king on f7 blocks the bishop from coming back to e8 and h5. And the rook on g2 defends the knight on e2 AND prevents the bishop from rerouting by controlling both c2 and b5 ! The knight is pinned and white can't allow the bishop to pressure it or it will be lost ! Also there is a point to make about Rb8+ Be8 ( black can try this to force the rook out of play) Rxe8 Kf7 Rb8 Rxe2 Qf1+ Kg6 Rb1, white rooks comes back just in time and it's also an equal endgame 😂😂 That's because of that incredible defense that Bc2 first was the only winning move ! Going to play Bd3 and Rf2, white is defenseless (has to lose a piece, or get mated at some point)! Even it's not that simple there too ! Very interesting position, you can still analyse this on your own if interested !
As a father, I would be very proud of Anna for being the person she is. Her chess skills are just an addition. So I congratulate Juan Manuel and Pia on their fantastic success 😉

@@maximepoca9396 Thanks! I did think of Bc2, but then got stuck with the follow-up. If the black rook was moved, I was worried about perpetual checks from the white rook, then if the white knight moved, the white queen might continue the perpetual checking, but I didn't realise that Rb2 would stop the queen moving.
I think he was distracted by her 2 pawns. LOL.... Also that action a 2 minutes long with those chess pieces behind her back. I would also be somewhere else with my head for half an hour. What was rude are those 3 guys with that beer who talk loudly and make fun and do not look at the chess at all. Then go sit at the bar 100 m further
I think its so rude how loudly those guys in the background are talking when both players are trying to focus. They should go somewhere else and have their chat instead of standing around a chess board where players are deeply concentrating and clocks are running down.
Anna, I hope you want to build to grandmaster title. To do so however you will need to buckle down harder and drive towards goal. You are attractive with a bright personality, but to achieve GM status, you may need to tone the personality back and become more steely eyed hardnosed and determined. I played a parallel strategic board game (Go) for many years (competing in tournaments) and retired as a strong 5 dan amateur. (In Go, Dan ranks are rated in 3 bands - weak, middle and strong, so strong 5 dan amateur is a rank description only). In ELO that equates to around 2500 to 2550. Took a lot of work to get there, especially as I did not start playing until I was about 30 (already too old to even think about becoming a professional player).
This is fen number of what happens if she moved Bishop second time instead of rook. Mere 44 moves later... 8/8/8/3p1kp1/3P4/2K5/r7/2q5 w - - 2 44 black wins. (I leave for your analysis why was critically important to move Bishop second time before moving rook.) I actually suspect Pia said to her. There is charming young man who you should play, and Anna was moved to table like a pig for a slaughter. She's lucky she has experience with playing last 30 moves under 2 minutes because of her "time management during play". Ethon not, thus he lost.
Hi Anna! Great game! Didnt undersrand why did he resign... I mean... Couldnt he move his Queen to F1? And then if you check his King with the Rookie in E1, he could just move his King to H2... Off course he would lose his Queen, but, he still had a Rookie... I mean... It would be an awful loss, 'cause it would be a Rookie, a Bishop and a Queen against a Rookie and Pawns... Hahahaha!! And then you would check his King with your Queen in F4, and it would be an annooooying check sequence... But maybe a Miracle could happen and he could win😂 Hahahaha anyway, just kidding here! It would really be a lost game for him, anyway hahaha!! PS: I would love to play a non rated chess match with you! I'm just an amateur dumb with 760 rating in Blitz and Rapid, but, at least we could have some fun! Haha!! Bests from Brasil! Mauro.
I don't understand. Why didn't he just move his queen to A1 to threaten Anna's bishop, but also to ensure Anna's queen could not take position on the back row while also buying time to move his rook to B1. By then, Anna would have moved her bishop out of harms way, but the checkmate crisis would have been averted, and with both his queen and rook on the backrow, neither Anna's bishop or queen could take a position there. Or am I just missing something simple? Surely these players are ridiculously talented so I must be missing the reason he didn't do that.
1. Qa1 Rf2 2. Rb1 Qe2 you lose the knight. If you wanna take bishop 3. Qa4 Rf1+ 4. Rf1 Qf1# checkmate If you don't take the bishop, the black rook is gonna take g2 and h2 pawns and checkmates. If you go Rb2 1. Qa1 Rf2 2. Rb2 Re2 3. Re2 Qe2 then black exchanges queens on d1 check. Black wins with her bishop.
Par ailleurs pourquoi il abandonne ? Je pense que s'il bouge sa reine en f1 puis g1, puis il avance son pion en h5 et sa tour en b8 (échec) ...il enchaine mat avec sa dame de retour en f1! Non ?
