This Girl Is a Future Chess Champion. 

Love these Blitz style recaps where you talk over the actual game footage. Really cool! Please keep doing them!

Anna's problem is that she thinks according to the opponent's rating. We have seen going for draws at very promising position against better rating and losing to lower rated players by playing risky. A famous grandmaster of the past was once asked with whom is he going to play on the next round of a tournament and he responded ''I have the black pieces against white'' . This is what everybody should think about during a game.

I think the most impressive thing about her was how calm she was 🤣 (as someone who panics a lot mid-game 🥵)

I don't think Anna's problem here is underestimating her opponent it is more that I feel she tends to overthink in blitz games, calculating numerous moves making her get in time trouble which makes her accidentally blunder her pieces

I like this format of real-time commentary/analysis of a blitz game. Not sure if the music helps or hurts - it ratchets up the tension nicely but is also unnatural to the situation. Also, I agree with other commenters here - if you're using your competitors for content then you really should do them the courtesy of mentioning their name in the video and the description (unless they have asked not to be named, of course). It's simple manners.

That background music really fitted with how intense the match was..

Fun game to watch! Congrats to your opponent on the achievement. I always find it intimidating when I’m visibly struggling over the board and my opponent is cool, calm, and collected. She looked like a sniper

Holymoly - Bad Time mismanagement!! AGAIN ANNA !! Hope you get well soon !! Keep up the fight !!🙏🙏👍👍

awh anna hope u feel better soon!

Time trouble is Anna's favorite activity 🤣

I haaven't played chess in over 40 yrs. But watching Anna makes me want to try it oput again. thanks Anna.

During the whole game, I said to myself that she had to play Kh1 otherwise with the lack of time there would be a blunder, unfortunately that happened. It's a lesson that I learned from several defeats, when you play f3 or f4 move the king to h1

Get well soon Anna. Love your videos.

Get well soon Anna! You are still the best!

Nice going Anna! Good luck!

The most important aspect: It's fun watching, and hopefully as well fun playing - always for both opponents.

Bruce Lee 🥋 said decades ago in Enter the Dragon 'Never underestimate your opponent'. 😁

I've never been good at playing chess, mostly because I hate remembering positions and I might be not the greatest strategist to put it slightly. When I was in my best, somehow I ended up in my province / state chess tournament and ended up (after 5 rows of games) in a game with the top 3 in the province. I didn't expected to win and I didn't, but after the game she said I was a challange and that it's a pitty that I'm not playing regularely in tournaments. This was like 20 years ago and I've never forgotten that compliment.

Feel better soon!

That was a fun one to watch but I feel so nervous for you, Anna. If you have the desire, you’ll make your goals so, keep it up 👍

El millón está muy cerca🎉🎉🎉🎉

great editing, Anna! :)

Get well, Anna!

Feel better Anna

Firm handshake and a murderers smile 😂

Really appreciated this.

Wow, Anna struggling with time trouble.... did not see that coming :)

Wow! What a crazy match! 😁

Get well soon💪

9:21 you said that before....the last time you underestimated your opponent

I hope your voice returns soon and you feel well again. Blessings Anna!

Feel better!

she had 40 seconds. My guess is she calculated the line of queen b3 g5 bishop

Feel Better Anna

Great video. I had a match yesterday against 300 rating lesser…..and got down material and position. fought back but yes. Never ever underestimate your opponent. Ever .

Excellent idea displaying the clock.

"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer".

The nice thing it's the knight was not trapped in reality, you could have won a pawn there. Just exchange the other two knights... her bishop has to leave the defense of the pawn to recapture.

Get well soon, Anna !

Get well soon sweet girl! ❤

Wonderful! And I hope you join her in the championship world of competitive chess!

Get well soon mate

Time is Anna's biggest opponent.

Get well, soon, Anna! :D

Mil Millones de Felicitaciones Maestra Anna, interesante la partida, desde Bogotá Colombia su seguro seguidor.

The fact that she was about to press the clock on the otherside

Muy buena partida 😃

She almost drew with arjun recently. Very good player

Hope you are feeling better now Anna

Love the format! GL in future games... Also, the more I watch your videos, the more I start to realize that after a certain rating threshold winning is not about your "hard" chess skills anymore, but about your "soft" skills such as the ability to stay grounded... I think it's the mix of adrenaline and cortisol that ruined the games and careers of thousands of otherwise amazing chess geniuses... Stay strong, Anna! We root for you.

I hope you are feeling better. I noticed you are on the verge of 1M subscribers, WOW. You are a true ambassador to the sport of chess. Chess Princess

Ooh.. loving the raspy voiceover 😂

Good recovery Anna! Thank you for the explanation, I thought in the beginning, you were partying too much ;)

I am so happy for you. You always learn from your mistakes. I am very proud of you.

Get well soon!

4:30 how to get out with the knight: my thought, without pause - Nxe4, Bxe4, Nxa6, if bishop comes back - we move back to c7, and then we can retreat to b5

Is rare to see Anna not talking or smiling while playing only focusing on the chess and traying to win

It feels like Anna keeps learning the lesson to not underestimate someone because of their rating.

I have seen her in a few tournaments before

Play everyone as though they are a Grand Master then you don’t have to deal with “innocent me” actors! You are wonderful Anna!❤️

Good game. Anna feels embarrassed that she didn't know her opponent's strength, but I think it was nice to see Anna play for the win. The game was equal until the blunder in the end, and entertaining to watch.

Don't worry because Its is really hard to think if your not feeling well

Seems to be a theme. Play controlled book opening chess and Anna doesn’t know it. Anna over extends into a messy position then runs out of time and blunders.

:o impressive game, that girl is savage. Also, Anna sounds like a tough girl with the cracked voice hahaha

She has a perfect pronunce

She's a great player

3 minutes is not enough time for good chess. 5 minutes is short enough.

Music is quite facinating

Fun game! Please take care of yourself and hope that you get well soon!

Get well soon!!

She made the classic Vegeta mistake which is to underestimate a low class Saiyan.

A bit ironic to dedicate an entire video to this remarkable player yet, never even mentioning her name. 🤷‍♂️

Whats with the dead-fish-handshakes?

she set up the cow with one of her knights lol!!

Any day now, Anna. 1,000,000

Black is a very talented player, cool, calm and collected and a born winner!

Get well soon.

When you play someone you believe to be lower rated than you, you play more confidently and decisively than you do when you play someone you believe to be higher rated. The actual rating, as in this case, is immaterial.

I supose one lesson is never think you know someones rating just because you think you know someones rating lol

Almost at one million subscribers. Wow!

Your graciousness is admirable, Anna. Now, get up, dust yourself off, and go kick some butt!

This girl this girl🤌😅

At 1:04 it’s interesting. I’m never seen anyone castle this way before. She moves her King first - from memory it’s required (if you touch your Rook first you technically can’t castle in “touch-move” I believe) - but then loops her rook behind the King to occupy the Bishop square. But the Rook move is kind of a nifty little maneuver I think. I’ve never seen anyone do it quite this way before. (All chess players have their “signature moves” I think. Like one cool one is when taking, lifting the captured piece first and using the same hand move your piece to the captured square. Some guys will “click” the pieces for emphasis.). (As a side note the girl doesn’t seem “cocky” but she seems to have real confidence in her ability. It’s like she’s played this game a thousand times before since she moves fairly quickly.)

She plays blitz like she got all the time in the world

Es raro, Ana sabia que entrar a fondo con ese caballo apoyado por el alfil era peligroso. Y si, un probervio dice que el ajedrez es un charco pequeño donde puede nadar un mosquito o hundirse un elefante.

Great video. I am new to this ... how does Anna get more time when there are less than ten seconds on her clock?

6:16 I'm trying to find if Qxd4 would have been a better aggressive move but I'm sure I'm missing something.

Thank you for highlighting this young woman Anna. I also appreciated your commentary. Gg

Content de revoir Ulla car elle me manque Ulla

Nice ggs

I'm new to chess and stumbled upon this video, can any1 elaborate more about the final blunder Anna made at 8:35 mark? - I'm thinking the fork would mean white rook have to defend by going e3, but still taken out by black queen. Defending with queen will still leave the rook lost. - Is there any way for white to defend/counter better before bQueen takes the last wPawn? I'm thinking wQueen to d1 so it protects both pawn and king? -CMIIW so the reason Anna resigns is not because of checkmate, but because her rook is lost and there's almost no chance for her to attack back with the little time she has and no good pieces left other than Queen?

Is that barotrauma music at 2:22? That's deep.

Anna, why did you record all of these when you are sick ? Don't hesitate to take your time off !

Tomorrow she is going to be back on stream finally😃

I also tend to play much worse when facing a "lower-rated" opponent. Lost rapid games to 900 simply by playing absolute garbage moves. It´s incredibly frustrating...

Get well on your voice beautiful Anna, soon!

Lesson: Don't underestimate your opponent, and do not be overconfident with ourselves.

Always time at like 50/50 moves midgame.

Its so k anna,u did well.

I thought you made nostalgic atmosphere of the upcoming problems with that voice..😂
