I played Stanely in 2022 when his rating was about 1600 compared to mine, which was around 2100, losing to him hurt at the time but seeing how quickly his rating has shot up and how good a player he is and what a nice chap he is, the hurt has gone :)
You are one of the real ones Anna you were extremely respectful and you went as far as to make this video and detail all the things you didn't know and what you learned and were very nice to your competition you may think this is normal behaivor but the world is full of narcisists and disrespecful "players" if you will. It's very heart warming for me to watch you play with so much respect and it's clear to me that your heart is made of gold. A pleasure to watch you "lose" as it is to watch you "win". Those were in quotes because you know what I mean.
I don't play chess but I am strangely drawn to chess videos. This is the most captivating match I've ever watched simply because you narrated what you were thinking and what your options were. I felt like I was right there with you. Great video.
I like the videos, too. I always feel like I shoudl start playing, but then I realize that it sucks so much of your life, that could be spent playing other board and video games.
It is so generous of you to show your losses, no matter how painful to you they may be. They are painful to me to see you lose, not to mention in my own bumbling games I am in my own realm of pain..... daily, Lol. Thank you for demonstrating such courage.
Lol she let him win. She missed very obvious moves on three occasions, and she even broke it down as "I knew I needed to do this...but I did this instead," and "I was afraid he was going to do this..." and then she let him do it. I'm terrible at chess and I could see it. And she's beaten grandmasters before, like come on
So many chess content creators wouldn't put a loss like this on, but you did, and your comments were very interesting, and as usual you were so gracious before and after the game. Bravo Anna.
Kids these days are incredible. Just the other day I was beaten by a 10 yr old kid who during the game was having an existential crisis about how 10x2 is 20 and 10x3 is 30, but he couldn't understand why 20x2 wasn't also 30. Meanwhile he's playing middlegame pawn sacrifices that I couldn't comprehend even with 5 minutes staring at the board. I love chess :D
@@GCTACOBATMAN It never ever did that before. No, that's totally new. Never in the history of the world did schools tell kids what to think. It's only recently.

Ar 5:23 I quite like 1. ... 0-0-0 Stops the fork and attacks the Knight on d5. If 2. Nxe7+ Nxe7 3. Bxe7 Rh8-e8 pinning the Bishop allowing taking it the next move and giving you two centralised rooks. If 2. Bxe7 Rh8-e8 and you have the pin plus attack on d5 Knight If 2. N-b6+ Kb8 I know it's easy to analyse a blitz game retrospectively and perhaps I am missing something, but I do like it as a potential way out of the Knight's fork threat.
Yeah, she, a master, made beginner-level inaccuracies that even I could see. And she was taking forever thinking about these terrible moves, too. I understand letting an opponent win if they're younger for whatever reason, but to let him win so obviously is just insulting, and I think Stanley deserved a straightforward game.
No way! I played Stanley in March in a blitz, I took him to the last few minutes, but way too strong in the end. Lovely to see you taking on an English player Anna ❤
Huh? She said you shouldn't count this as losing on timing, and she was right. This was hopeless long before the last few moves. If not for the convienance of the clock running out, she should have just resigned before her last actual move. I'm sure she would have still lost if you gave her another 3 minutes on the clock, but that might have been by running out the clock too, because running out the clock is what happens when a good chess player who doesn't want to resign has no idea how to save the game, which I'm sure is what happen here. Did you pay attention to the material on the board at that point? It was 5 pawns and knight vs. 7 pawns and a rook, and one of her pawns was doubled!
I liked this kind of video. I am entertained and learning at the same time lol. I wouldn't mind seeing more of the games from this tournament explained in this way. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, doesn't look very dynamic at first (which is why for years masters all played 2 c4) but clearly a lot more to it than meets the eye! White develops pressure surprisingly rapidly.
Now this is the way to watch chess! I love the commentary as to what you're think and discussion of strategies. You definitely have a winning formula here. 💯
You are my queen gambit!! Most of the streamer doesn't choose to show when the lose. You do. This is my kind of Champion. I am happy to see that exemple of modesty from an strong player like like you
That kid in the background at 7:04 digging for buried treasure effortlessly switches between both - IMHO, sod the Chess what he's doing takes real talent. I hope he's rewarded for his endeavours
Fischer Random is the only fair chess for all levels of play.1/3 to 1/2 of your game openings are from memory not tactical thinking. Equal the playing field with random.
I'm so happy for Stanley. I've no doubt that beating Anna meant much more to him than beating Stanley would have meant to Anna. Plus, she is very gracious as well. She just seems like such a decent human being.
At higher levels this is what chesss boils down to: playing pre-packaged, pre-tested moves and gambits ("knowing the theory") to either trap people who don't know it, or put you in the best possible position for middle game. Memorization, memorization, memorization.
@Samuel_H_B yeah I think after Kd2 in that line you could go Ne4 to check the king and potentially force an exchange of the white bishop and free your queen that way?
@@Hylebos75 Stockfish is an extremely powerful chess bot that even the No. 1 chess player has no chance of beating it. This means it can find the best moves so it can also help chess players prepare for their games. In this case, white played Jubava London System opening and if black cannot suprise white with unexpected move, then black is just walking right into white's game plan. White already know what is the best response to black's moves. Therefore, you have to do unexpected but strong moves that your opponent didn't expect and didn't study. Otherwise, you're playing against moves that opponent prepared using Stockfish or other materials.
What’s special about you is that you celebrate the game of chess and of being a good sport, I don’t know anyone who is like you and you deserve a lot of credit.
Instructiva partida. La de rápidas que habrá ganado el chico con esa apertura. Creo que cuando desconocemos una apertura o variante es útil seguir la actitud de Kasparov. Prudencia, pensar bien las réplicas y no arriesgar. Normalmente nos ponemos a pensar a toro pasado y cuando nuestra posición está irremediablemente deteriorada. Y en aperturas tácticas y de tanto contacto de piezas el bando a remolque puede intentar imponer un ritmo lento y posicional. En la partida: la aguda c5 es el comienzo de los problemas para el negro, pero si se desconoce la apertura es muy difícil anticipar la tormenta.

@@AnkhArcRod true, every mistake counts, but in blitz games, I've noticed she spends a long time thinking of the next line, while most blitz players just calculate two to three moves ahead
Anna, Bravo! You are to be commended for your humility, honesty, and good sportmanship here. It's so much harder to be a gracious loser than a happy winner. Besides, you almost always win...
It's like going to math test only to find out there's that one task which you didn't prepare at all and you just try to struggle your way through. The difference is Anna is recording everything, now that takes character.
These young players are so fearless Stanley played a great offensive game causing you problems throughout it is incredible they’re able to get so good at such a young age Stanley probably plays many games in a day Chess is second nature to him
At 3:26, my gut feeling is to go Qd5, when Anna did that later, he brought out the knight to f3, then I'd take the pawn on c5 with the bishop, he takes that bishop with his knight, you take the knight with your queen. Now you're up a pawn and his attack is stopped on that side.
Thanks for the game Anna!
