They Claimed Finding This Chess Move Was “IMPOSSIBLE” 

The killer stare you give at the beginning of your videos now is also how the enemy bishop stares at me from 86 squares away.

Love the intros, so serious. She looks at you like a terminator, then comes bouncing into the video smiling.

14:42 Stockfish having a stroke right there

If both stockfish and your mom can't find it, what chance have you under time pressure to see a queen sacrifice.

Happy that you're improving your time management... I enjoy your videos! Good Luck

I accidently bumped my Bishop once as i was getting my coffee...and as a touch move I had to leave it...then my opponent resigned as that accidental move was !!!

"And here I actually spent some time thinking because... well because I'm Anna Cramling" lol :) 7:51

With that title i wasn't sure if it is a GothemChess video for a moment.

The contrast from dramatic intro to very happy Anna is so funny

Its all a learning experience... each game, one game at a time is how you work your way forward! love your enthusiasm try not to lose that!!! Your vids are wonderful... your Mom clips inserted are priceless!!!!

Anna, thank you ! Not that your "draw" is comforting: it isn't. Rather, you are so much better at chess than I am, but in the "heat of the moment" you don't always see the *best* move. Happens to all of us. Yet: even your "misses" are instructive. Brava, Brava !! 👍👍 Teach on!!!

loving the stream - i long ago gave up chess as a promising teenager but can still appreciate the talk through - keep it going !!!!!!

Your game keeps improving! Now I can just feel a win coming. The best of luck!

That was a fantastic game you played. I remember watching this live and seeing that passed pawn was a huge advantage. The idea was to put pressure and protect the pawn on b6. I did not see the endgame line but you had the advantage early on. You play great chess and it was a game you should be proud of

Thank you, an especially instructive deconstruction today.

Good luck anna keep crushing it!!!

Amazing chess content creator, strong chess player, always positive with a big smile, videos with excellent editing, atmosphere and emotional tension :) 1 million is near!!!

I am your fan from Bulgaria. Your start in the big game is brilliant.

The perfect passion to play chess is also expressed by your taste of fashion! Anna for the win!

"The engine doesn't has the range." *-- dame Anna Shirley Bassey Cramling*

bombarding and bamboozle are the two words you nearly got to. both correct usage.

I can’t wait to watch this

I love your enthusiasm 😁

Anna, after this tournament you need to take a laid back vacation. Had fun watching you play.

So heartbreaking as your time management was very good this game!

After many hours of watching your games, having listened to Pia's commentaries, every so often I can hear Pia's voice in my head saying, 'And now, this is absolutely winning. Absolutely fine. A very natural and logical move.' I'm having Pia Cramling flashbacks.

Good luck Anna! Eventually you are going to catch them all: all the wins and all the draws! 😄🎉🎉🎊

"(jump)hello everyone"😄 Funny & sweet😊

This reminds me of the Final boss of chess meme where Karpov walks into the TV studio to play the little kid. Except these days it would be the other way around, you hear the boss music and in walks a 12 years old to crush your hopes and ambitions.

we love you, Anna

I've not played chess for years. Used to play it all the time. But I'm glad that I stumbled upon your channel as its reawakened my interest. I'd forgotten how hard the game can be. But how sweet it can be if one can overcome its complexity at times. I never really felt that I was playing an opponent. I always felt that I was competing against my own intellectual limitations. I like your channel because you have plenty of energy, are clearly confident and able on a chess basis, and its cool that your parents are also super knowledgeable about the game. Especially your Dad it seems. That Belgian kid gave you a very tough game. Very close. And I agreed with you, your mum and Khoi that a stalemate was the most likely outcome. But I think one of the best things about life is that there is always someone who can see things that most of us don't. And that gives our lives, and our chess lives, greater potential. Which is nice. Well done the Cramling family and well done Khoi!

Great job. Nearly impossible to see that move on d5… let’s finish strong

That queen sacrifice is insane; I'm not surprised no one, but high-depth Stockfish, saw that line.

Te deseó suerte Anna : ) Me adelanto y te felicitó por el millón 🎉

In bocca al lupo Anna

Annafish! 👍👍👍 and SUB! So hyped for your next tournament.

I remember reading a chess book which said to chose the most aggressive move. The reason on 17:02 you didn't see Q d5 is you viewed it as a Queen sacrifice. The back ranch mate threat from your c7 rook meant the black rook on d8 didn't threaten any piece on squares d1 to d7. This meant Q d5 is unthreatened from the black rook d8 but threatens both the d8 rook and checkmate, making it the most aggressive move. Your in good company, Petrosian, who had been World Champion 2 years before, when playing Fischer in the Candidates failed to see Fischer exchanging his knight for a 7th rank bishop, due to the back rank mate threat, would force Petrosian to either lose his Queen side pawns or allow 2 rooks on the 7th rank as happened in the game. (The move by Fischer was a shock to the surrounding Soviet GMs who all failed to see the difficulties caused by the back rank mate threat. The effectiveness of a back rank mate threat in neutralizing pieces tends to be underrated, even by Soviet GMs. )

In this video I felt like watching a "guess the elo" video xd, nice vid BTW

Good luck. Hope you play a great game.

How these kids are so good its unbelievable

I like this video format ❤

Always check for backrow possibilities and problem...

As a Belgian and rooting for Anna, this was the best outcome!

Love your happy attitude to life.

I can't go on this emotional roller coaster rooting for you again just to arrive to a draw :P

bamboozle verb bam·​boo·​zle: to confuse, frustrate, or throw off thoroughly or completely a quarterback bamboozled by an unexpected defense

your so smart and your young!! in the next few years you will be the World Champion!!

0:30 you're 20 minutes into chess and chill and she gives you this look...

Kramnik: "Standard pruocedure... block... and report."

13:03 THAT is Badass XD

I found the queen sacrifice but its only findable when knowing that there is a win at the end of the journey as your focus is different and you search for strange stockfish moves. Otherwise no chance at all and having a clock ticking only supports going for a successful draw against this amazing kid! GZ

Good luck in next round ❤

Excellent!

Welcome to Spain Anna!

Hi Anna, don't forget ,at 17,18,19 Mai, there is a big event in Morocco of chess in casablanca, will be there Magnes and hikaro and more chess players, welcom to coming too🇲🇦❤️

Better on time well done

Wow! I never played like that as a 1900 (except once, a last round against Ben Finegold, when he was still Benjy). Great defense on the kid's part, he played like a player swindling a draw against Tal. That would would make you - getting to Tal position - very good. The best I ever did was getting to Morphy positions - and Morphy had help from his opponents. If you two were titled, this could go in Informator.

I enjoy how chess is like a level playing field perhaps like few others, in that it is no respecter of age, and the old and young and everyone else can counter any expectations based on age. I am fascinated to know how the younger chess players, or any chess players, reach such levels of expertise in a matter of a few years, though I guess even a 12 year old might have been playing chess for over 7 years?

Good luck for the next round sweetie. Hugs from London!

Nice recap! Definitely a strange outcome if no human could see the win, but the computer can! By the way, these stares you sometimes give the camera are what could be described as "taking no shit from anyone". I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of those looks! Good luck!

Let's get these last two wins. Chess Princess

Well done Anna! You're only human :-)!

if only she found THAT key move, Qd5!! eventually, the king ends up on a8, and black runs out of checks, and white queens the b-pawn next. i set up the position on lichess and stockfish quickly found that stunning move, and pointed out that white has to get the king to a8.

Rxf7,attacking the queen and opening a discovered attack on his rook

Getting up at 9.30 am, is that a time problem too? 🤣🤣🤣

That's all very interesting but what I really want to know is whether there's a video of you eating the fantastic lunch.

Where can I see the live stream with Pia's comments?

Epic music

They said it was impossible to find the move 🙂But after 23 hours and 59 minutes and 59 seconds, Anna found the move! YES!! Just in time 😅

1:41 The keed looks 6!! 😅

At 14:57, when they take your queen with rook, isn’t Rc8+ just a mate in 2? Why take their rook with the pawn?

You are great, i downloaded a chess app and started with chess again because of your channel. But iam so bad. iam a good technician and not stupid. Dont know what i make wrong. I already got some tricks from your videos (not cow opening 😊). I would love when you can do a "chess for beginners" video series. When you have time again after the tournanent.

If your mom didn't see Qd5, I would have loved to see her reaction, had you played it (and the follow up)

LoL love the moody intro... then happy Anna bounces into shot!

I have a question: So if the checking piece is pinned to the king then it is not considered a check?

Good work.

Good luck in your next game

Stockfish sees Instead of Bf3: Rc6 - checkmate in 12.

7:25.. Also b4-b5 ... b5xa6 ... doubled up passed pawns.. 12:40 Why didn't you move Rook to c8 instead of taking the Knight?

"in my brain"

oh come on, another draw?! we wanna see you winning!!!

Amazing chess content creator

Ana- I’m better than stockfish take notes bro

En Menorca para ganar el secreto esta en un buen desayuno. Un par de tostadas de pan de pages con sobrasada, con eso ganas seguro (y si no ganas almenos desayunas te como una campeona) jajajajaj 😅

While watching the livestream, I was sweating and saying "Anna, please take his knight with your pawn and take a draw!" for fear something would go wrong and you'd lose. It just looked too scary had you not taken his knight. It's easy for others to say you were winning like his dad with the help of Stockfish, but not for the players in the battle. The kid definitely could play. Still sounds funny, but no joke that kids are the most terrifying thing in chess. I'm curious too, what was for lunch? 🙂

Bomboozled ☺

I need more details about the lunch. 🥪🍕🥑🌮

adore your enthusiasm and never say die spirit. love yer mums responses when ye play killer moves; you'll be topkek soon!

Trying to learn but so many moves forward and backwards.. difficult … good luck..

Que paso con los videos en español ?

What if she went king to e1 instead of taking the knight on e4.? 11:20

I feel like you would miss moves like this because you tend to be afraid of sacrificing your pieces. But i dont really play chess and just watch 😂

Mew-v..ha-ha, never heard anyone pronounce the word 'move' like you do before :-)

you played will anna

I wish that you could have experienced the total eclipse!

and here I actually spent some time thinking ... because, well because I'm Anna Cramling 😀😀😀

* We like crazy games so much ! *

Does she literally just remember every move she and he made during the game in order from memory…?

I don't know how she missed Qd5 though, it felt like a very obvious move even with the checks for me.

Surely, once the black queen has moved, rook to C8 was an unstoppable win?
