  • I played a blitz chess tournament in Paris, in a bar called Blitz society, and faced someone that I really was not expecting. Hope you enjoy the video and let me know what you think about the voice over!

      I completely agree. I actually use it to get a bit of a better understanding of chess, and I tend to play a bit better after listening to Anna go through her games. Unfortunately there's a limit to how may of these videos Anna can produce. If you can suggest other chess content creators with clear explanations of their thought-processes, It'd be really helpful?

    So, UA-cam ended up recommending your channel to me through another video (in a New York park). I watched a few more videos and liked them. This video was really good; the ending is crazy. It's impressive how you manage to think and move pieces so quickly, even while making mistakes.

  • @andreas1337able
    @andreas1337able 3 місяці тому +4

    That last part made it beautiful. Dont forget you are up there too.
    One thing, as a none chess player that struck me. In the beginning, you were the one moving pieces. He on the other hand moved his back line, but was not in offense at all. He was letting you move pieces more forward which resulted in him striking you first. As he was just baiting you and than attack when you opened up by moving all these piece. Only to find a gap in his defense, which there wasn't since he did not do much to attack.
    Again, there could be many reason. I hardly ever watch or play chess. It just struck me and wonder if this is some sort of tactic?

    • @cjgeist
      @cjgeist 3 місяці тому

      Because white has the first move, white will usually be able to dictate the opening and get the pieces to more advanced and central squares. Black has to play more accurately to avoid being overwhelmed by this advantage, and black did so here, managing to activate the pieces well despite white's space advantage in the center.
