  • @delturge
    @delturge Місяць тому +4

    It was bitter sweet. For future reference, in the opening against the Cow, a strong Queen early is a way to break up the pattern, in conjunction with a central pawn. However, in that case, the Cow player can use knights to try to kick away a queen. Be wary of a scholar's mate. The Cow player should use his queen defensively early against an opposing aggressive queen, too..

    Anna, you concentrated every move I saw. You knew you had to do that since your opponent, GM Platon has a very high rating, and this took up the time on the clock. You did not waiver and focused the entire time on every move. The aggressive style you had to try at the end was due to the time factor. You played a good game against, "The Cow," and you have nothing to be ashamed of in this game. The game was so good that even GM Hikaru Nakamura made a video on this, and liked this game!

    Anna, I always enjoy the detail of your match recaps. On the game with GM Platon, I guess a strength of the cow is because it's such a slow opening that most of his pieces were still in the back to defend when you tried your attacks. Pia mentioned several times if only your King was on a dark square to avoid that white bishop of his. Hats off to you opponent for playing the full cow and not just a few of the opening moves. Good luck on your remaining matches! (By the way, beautiful video recap with you and all the chess boards and tables behind you).

    Exactly right... that's why he's the GM. If I were to play you, I would just have to say... "That's why you're you and I'm me". Greetings from South Carolina. And thanks to Platon for playing The Cow.

    You are brilliant! The first step has already been done! Using the cow opening is possible to win! The next step is to see YOU winning with the cow opening! Thank you very much for the videos! Hugs from Brazil! 🐮🐮

    Stockfish evaluates your position as better when you pushed the white king's knight back to f1 with your h pawn on move 6, and it has you up by 1.19 if you had played e5-e4 on move 7.

    I think it's hilarious that he played the Cow. First game of the event against Anna, heck, what better opening choice? He was thinking "that'll nullify all her prep...lol."

    You counter the cow with the hippo. Move up all your pawns. Don't sting Ferdinand.

    ROTFLs at 5:49 when Anna says (cow opening) "Theory" with her fingers simulating quotation marks. OMG, so funny. Anna, your humor is adorable. 🤣

    It’s an advantage to use the cow opening against Anna. Every time this happens she gets flustered. Also she has not seriously worked on theory to fight it. This opening she created is her own Achilles heel.

    Anna, if I may presume to observe, you were one move short in the preparation of your winning attack. Either you should have got the a6 knight to c7, or avoided putting the pawn on c6 at the beginning. Subsequently, after castling, you should have allocated a move to getting the king to b8. My father always taught me to be wary of the premature attack. It was a great and exciting game which I fully enjoyed.

    That's actually insane. What a LEGAND this man is. He Literally made history by being the first ever to use the cow in classical chess. GOAT 🐐

      Now that is showing a female respect, a male GM playing a female opening. I hope he realizes that all mature cows are female. All mature males are bulls. Young cattle that are female are called heifers and young males are called bullocks or oxen. Young castrated males are called steer. So I think Anna did a remarkable job calling the her opening “The Cow Opening!”
