Overconfident Guy Thinks He Can Beat Me In Chess 

I have no idea 1:35

@karlwithak. 2 days LOL I'm still laughing LOL

Couldn't help but laugh when i heard that

@13:37

😂😂😂

came here to say the same thing

I came here to say the same thing but you said the same thing. @@soupst6

Me toooo

Me too!

Its no that hard to understand lmao

That's how I see it..🤔

Taking a board game way too seriously.

@BerserkerErik Yeah, it's called, 'exaggeration for comedic effect'. It's based on the principle that comedy is both about the truly absurd and the absurdly true. Look into it. Also, there's a reason generals and kings have always played chess: It is practice in the art of subterfuge and ruthlessness.

@@Wolf88888 Yea well I am autistic so I apologize for not getting the joke, even though I do think chess has lots to do with strategic thinking and planning, I dont think it has anything to do with being ruthless, its only this way if your enemy really really values winning for some reason, and even then its all just an ego battle, not really anything substantial on the line most of the time, only if you take it too seriously like I said. Hope you get what im saying.

That's a tad aggressive.

Yes, his game plan was nothing to be feared

lmao so they compliment the woman and somehow thats “trying to make themselves seem more competent” what do you expect them to do? no dude, its just complimenting and mutual respect.

@@official2mt37 The "compliments" I'm talking about are the ones where the guy phrases it like the girl isn't aware how well of a move she made, so he has to let her know. As if she accidentally made an intelligent decision instead of out of competence. It's condescending and you guys need to stop playing dumb because you know very well what it is you're doing. 🙂🙂🙂

@@matthewlove4082 do you wanna point out where he “phrased it like the she didnt know what shes talking about”? you need to realise not every compliment or advice given is rooted in trying to undermine her competence. half the time he was just jokingly saying things like “you shouldve taken the pawn” as a joke because that would actually better his position. stop trying to push dumb narratives.

@@official2mt37 Sorry, I don't feel like rewatching the video just so I can point out to you what should already be obvious. If you're playing against a woman who clearly knows what she's doing, don't mansplain the game to her. It's as simple as that!

@@matthewlove4082 yeah because you can’t, because he didn’t. he already knows shes a good player, thats why he complimented her gameplay. she even said herself what a nice guy he seemed like and how they were just smiling and laughing the whole time. you just have a dumb narrative you’re here to push and to be negative. real ray of sunshine you are.

She knows. Its a clickbait title for fishes like you.

Literally me

The thing about that is she is really good under time pressure! My brain would lock up! LOL I do think it does ultimately hurt her in the long run, though...

It's almost as if she actually uses the time she gets.

She talks too much

She plays differently depending on time. Is more strategic at first and uses up the clock, then when time runs out she just plays out the strategy she created (for the win, usually🎉)

Oh em gee! THIS!!! THIS!!! You read him REALLY well. That was so f-ing spot on, that I can't even. I've heard men do this before, and I never realized fully why I didn't like it, until you said that. Thank you for that humiliating comment, that I hope reaches his eyes.

it's also more for guiding her into a position he probably thought a lot more and more confident he can do something about it.

Do you think he'd do that to a male competitor? I'm guessing, no. Either way, it's extremely condescending, and manipulative. And, yeah I think he IS doing it so he can take at least partial credit, even if it is only expressed in his mind. I don't think he can handle a beautiful woman with a brain.@@RaveMasterr

Oh, and here's me thinking it's just because he's a patronizing sexist who's full of himself.

@@RaveMasterr Good point.

hmmmmm-----I think she was the only true player.

yes he was a good sport about getting his arse kicked

Agreed! We want more :)

👍🏻Needs different music though

Meh, its called sand bagging. She's playing people below her level.

Playing people below your level is not sandbagging buddy. It's called an open tournament.

Beer has CO2 bubbles(or were they Nitrous oxide?)

Absolutely want to see the next one. What was tom’s rating?

Loved this too!

the lady with half of her teeth missing???

@@R.Akerman-oz1tf Guinnes has nitro

From what I’ve seen mind games are common in chess.

You’re a miserable lunatic. It’s a friendly chess game in which people are drinking and having fun. He’s just joking around and enjoying the chess game. Just because you have negative self esteem doesn’t mean you have to protect that negativity onto others.

that's a legendary line right there.

Came to post that very quote... just so awesome LOL

Haha that was funny :)

That was funny.

What does “cuz” mean? Does it mean cousin?

Is that why she did many of the moves he advised

She actually started ignoring him, it was part of a mind game. In chess you're not suppose to tell them the strategy of what you're planning to do. That's like playing hide and seek but the seeker is trying to tell you where to hide@@nicholassapp6542

What makes you say that? To me he appeared nice but he clearly underestimated his opponent.

I hate when people do that. To start with, it's a power play--presuming that you're in a superior position, and deigning to offer "help". And if you win, he can claim it was because he helped you! Insurance. But then also, it injects doubt into the other player's mind--should I take his suggestion--putting myself into a somewhat submissive position, or not? And is there something he has spotted that I haven't yet, and he's hoping that I don't, and therefore distracting you from it by focusing your attention on the one move. Is there a consequence of this move that I haven't picked up on, that will bite me if I take it? Or is it that he *doesn't* want me to take that move, but as he is my opponent, he wants me to suspect the move and therefore is being contrarian, practicing some "reverse psychology"? Whatever the case--it causes me to overthink a move that I might have otherwise made quickly and more confidently, and it therefore causes me to burn off more time--perhaps a LOT more time--off the clock. And that might have been the whole plan from the beginning. And it's distracting. So just leave me to my thoughts, and we'll get along fine!

​@@michaelstone3463that's exactly why they do it. Disrupt your thoughts and make you rush

Which app?

Please let us know which app

Need the app

Right? This is brilliant!

To the contrary, @NoThanksblahhhh0751, Anna has no humility, and it's obvious that she considers herself to be the best chess player on the planet. I've been to multiple international chess tournaments in my miss-spent youth. Ms. Anna is no match for a Bobby Fischer or an Alexi Benocovich.

@@Pedsonc01 dunno why you would say that. I just stumbled over this video somehow... not even a chess player. Nothing here made me think she'd have no humility - of course she's confident - she wouldn't be mic recording otherwise, but I don't get your remarks on her personality at all, at least out of this video.

@@Pedsonc01it’s obvious you consider yourself the best commenter on the planet…

She controls the edits. Of course she's amazing.

He does not play like a 2000+ player. On lichess maybe, but not 2000 FIDE

​@@martinpaddlei imagine he's 2000 blitz on lichess all day long. Wouldn't be suprised if his endgame play is suspect. I'm curious as to this guy's strength. He could be anywhere between 1700 to 2100 fide.

@@Fluxion11 he is 1800-1900 FIDE

I found his name: Thomas Hill but unfortunately found no rating

@@DDHDTV look up FIDE ratings database

😱😨😰😰

stop yapping mate

And I paused it several times at 17:45 lol

It’s a friendly chess game in which people are joking, drinking and having fun. Give it a rest. Not everything is a serious as you make it out to be.

It's not that complicated. He obviously fancied the hell out of her. And who can blame him?

These are just two people having fun, with some normal teasing and banter

He was flirting with her for sure. She has this friendly smiling type of demeanor A LOT though, with so many different people. She's a real friendly happy person, so with her it's harder to tell.

@@billj4525 Knowing nothing about him you're sure he's flirting but knowing her you're unsure if she's flirting? For all you know he just has a friendly smiling demeanor as well.

@@Novacification Come on dude, of course he was, look at her

@@Jamezar He wasn't exactly beaten with an ugly-stick either. They appeared equally flirty, so if you can't say for sure that she wasn't just being friendly then that applies equally to him.

LOL He likes you Anna!

Kind of what I would have guessed actually

I thought it was around 2200 , overestimated this one.

Is that good?

@@botond9724 WoW. She's playing her game whether it be in a formal event or a pub. She created a channel and is doing quite well with it also. If you're jealous.....simply say so.

@@botond9724 Don't hate mate these videos are entertaning. Plenty of channels do the same thing in sports. It's not just about the chess games it's also about the interactions etc. Plus this makes me want to learn more about chess. I'm not a chess player so I don't care she's not a pro and I always appreciate pretty girls not being stereotypical. It's also very educational, I've learned a lot about the game in just a couple vids exactly because she's playing vs amateurs

You deserve a medal xDDD

OMG LMAO

lol

Comment of the year

we got levy and hikaru at home levy and hikaru at home:

Yes, I've noticed this also, and you're so right. My patience level is so low with consuming media now. The internet has done that, too. I feel I've lost attention span.

Better is playing positional chess with tactics, because then you can control whether the tactics favor you

This is what Daniil Dubov tries to do. I love his style but he doesn't always win

Our friend Tom looked pretty smitten

She is quite the beautiful woman. My guess is his "blush" (as you termed it), was more from the (reportedly) four-pints of beer consumed before this game and the fifth consumed during this game. Either way, it was a good chess match. The beautiful Anna has no humility, which will, eventually, catch-up with her.

🤣

Not since Prince died.

I have a purple shirt, but I don't know how to play chess.

Yeah, unfortunately playing the opponent works too. Kinda dirty but that really is part of the game.

You’re completely insane for make this about gender. Watch the Botez sisters play stress chess. They consistently talk and even trash talk to make it fun and competitive. This guy wasn’t even trash talking. He was just talking and having fun with someone who was clearly a strong player just because it’s a friendly chess tournament for a bottle of champagne where people are being friendly and having fun throughout. It’s as much a social occasion as it is about chess. You’re going to be a perpetually negative, miserable person if you try this hard to twist even the most friendly, innocent scenarios into trying to make it seem nefarious.

It is damn rude for someone to talk during a game like this. You should record the game and play it back to them.

@@johndewey7243 You’re just clearly not at all familiar with the culture around street chess. It’s normal to talk a lot with each other and banter during the game. They’re having a friendly chess game in which they’re drinking and having fun. It’s clearly intended as a social event that’s meant to be fun and not taken too seriously. It’s not meant to be a serious event where people play each game in silence, and either way neither Anna nor the guy gave any objection to the other side talking and being friendly/having fun during the game. Anna’s obviously not going to be against it because she wants good RU-vid videos and a quiet game would make a terrible RU-vid video that way less people would watch.

Worlds cringiest comment

😂

why not?

He wasn't arrogant at all. They had fun. He took losing to her well. Don't know what you are on about.

@@briantitchener4829 Not sure what video you watched, he’s a total twat.

@@briantitchener4829All males are arrogant when it comes to thinking they’re smarter than women.

@@briantitchener4829he needed some humbling. just like most men do. obv u dont see it if u are a man cause u all think this is normal..

Comment from a paranoid insecure women.@@briantitchener4829

No he didn’t.

I doubt he thought that. You probably just think that because you're sexist.

@@AlanTovYes he did. All males believe they are better than women at everything.

@@ascendednightingale2456 Can’t tell if satire or you’re genuinely unhinged.

@@meltedsnowman9637reply above is wrong but the commenter is right. you can tell he was used to playing weaker players with his early game and wasn’t good at recovering once she put him under pressure.

Anna only had time to sip her beer.

It was probably given to her and she really didn't want it but was being polite.

Actually, Anna ate his lunch and then washed it down afterward with the beer.

There was a GM who once played Magnus. He drank something, maybe brandy. He was best out of the opening, but as the game went further and the bottle emptier he got less presice and lost. I guess its easy to play with one beer, maybe two, but after 3 or 4 glasses you sacrifice some presision.

I see I wasn't the only one who got the impression he liked her. 😊

@RobinHood70 I mean what young man wouldn't be enchanted by this lovely lady. My goal is to reach at least 1700 so I can sit down and play her, simply to talk to her 😅🤣🥰

@RobinHood70 Yeah, I myself hope to reach 1,500 rank, just to feel worthy enough to least sit at a table with her someday 😅 🤣🥰

i would be like I will do her even if i loose
