Man ... imagine playing a game against Pia, in a tournament, and after the game having Pia saying you played beautiful chess ... he just won the best chess compliment ever!
I mean, he is 2200 blitz, his rating does the talking
It would be an honor to play Pia and a learning experience. One of the strongest woman players in history and probably top 30 overall or so at her peak strength at least, I would suspect, that needs a second look. I don't think he knew, which is a little bit of a shame. She has a super-deep positional understanding and precise knowledge of what to sac and when. Her games are enjoyable and kind of shock my brain with some moves, I learn a lot by watching. Dudes, she played Karpov, that deserves plenty respect right there.
@@Chunda8 Exactly.
2200 blitz is sick
guys im new at chess but can you do this in chess, see at 6:12 , can pawn moves like that?
Watching Pia's gentle disposition, meanwhile mercilessly slaughtering her way through a game, never fails to warm the heart.
"oh that was you plan? thats so nice"
while she stomps you is so brutal
*Stomps & slaughter?* he put up a fight.. he’s playing a GM.
He lost about three moves in. I just took him a while to figure it out.
@@angulinhiduje6093 It wasn’t a stomping though? He had better positioning majority of the match until the bishop trade.
@@nicepasta734 I'm not much of a chess player, but I saw that coming. Yes, he put her on the 'defensive' initially, however, you may not have noticed, but from what I could tell, she accounted for it, made it part of her strategy. The fact that she did that was something he never saw coming. She was able to make it look like she was on pure defensive, right up until he realized she wasn't.
Your mom's demeanour is so beautiful; so humble and kind. It was beautiful to watch her.
Talk about a MILF!
Very demure, very mindful.
@@Doremo1I was absolutely looking for this comment😂
You beat me to it. I came to the comments to literally post this.
I agree, her attitude calmes and soothes my soul, I am happy 😊😊
Beautiful manners in defeat! What a well brought up young man! Deep respect!
My favourite part of this post is not the playing or the conversation.
It is the smile on your face that signifies your love and pride for your mother.
All the very best for you both.
Pick me vibe.
@@nealorr5086yeah, you are a pick me.
@@shujinko2944 She's not going to pick you, either.
@@nealorr5086 love your implication that the only incentive to give people a compliment is to get with them romantically. reveals a lot about your worldview lmao
@@iKnowaNoahnot that I'd blame the individual for being an incel, especially while young. to be blatantly unable to recognize respect like that means they haven't experienced it before, which is a shame honestly.
Watching this guy he was killing it. Hearing his ratings at the end made a lot of sense. But going toe to toe with a GM ain't easy, that's for sure. Good fight
Fun to watch!
Totally bossed the opening where he knew all the prep and then got GMd later on.
@@MostViewedTop40 yeah the bishop “sac” tactic was cute but Pia casually saw that and had a response. GMs always have their pieces in the right squares. It’s nuts
That bishop botch he made is what lost it for him.
you could tell he really wanted to win he knew his mistakes right away he knew
Pia is so polite, she's always a bit sorry that she just crushed your soul at chess.
😅😅😅
Underrated comment 😂
great comment
A lot of Scandinavian have that vibe, always cracks me up their awkward politeness
@@KingKapsalon how ist that awkward? Imho this is something everyone should get from his parents (German speaking here).
Pia has that aura
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think Pia wins Chess Aura
Make a Pia chess bot please

chess has spoken
I love the way your mum encourages him and gives him props at the beginning. I love her gentle body language throughout play…there was no slapping the timer or aggressively knocking over pieces. Fantastic and humble demeanor for someone so talented. The young man put up a great fight! I wish my Da had lived to be able to see great chess content like this! He would’ve loved it so much!
Aww, that is so sweet! I miss mine too ❤️
@@StuckinNormal it’s tough being without a Da, isn’t it?💜
@@notchamama7571 sure is 💙💔
The way Anna comes in just smiling because she knows what's going to happen is gold.
Pia is so wholesome and wonderful and will absolutely destroy you at chess I love her
She was losing for a while, couldn't really believe that
@@patsk8872 Not losing….waiting.
Just biding her time to strike. @@patsk8872
@@patsk8872 in Blitz the eval will swing a lot more, even the top top players often get into a losing position vs random online guys
@@JeanneNorthcutt nah she was losing but he blundered 2 times
I imagine Pia was delighted for Ethan to give her so much difficulty, and still turn it all around in her favour in the end. GG Ethan, you made her work for it.
There is a simple truth in this universe. One sees content of Pia, one clicks on content of Pia, one is content.
This is a truth I also live my life by
Are you stupid or just retarded?
I did too. I didn't even want to watch a chess video right now, but I had to when I saw it was a new Pia video.
Absolutely: that is how it works.
Onetent
I love seeing your mum play, she's such a gracious supportive winner
You have a lovely and sweet mom. Lives up to her name. What a blessing. God bless her.
Wow, he played extremely well; aggressive, and strong, and put her on the defense. Great game!
He played a pretty perfect game until that sacrifice that she refuted in the best way. Good ambitious stuff by him.
@@invisobill2125 one mistake and a GM will smoke you
@@dragonbane44 I loved watching this game, the moves were so interesting and with that time limit, just wow
@@invisobill2125he’s 2400. & he was up until one mistake cost him.
Props to the guy for playing well, but Anna’s mom is on another level. After being in a losing position in the opening, she handled it with a counterattack. Such a great video to watch!!
The counterattack only came after he blundered.
@@JimBalter most after such a weak start would have given up. She played a defensive game, to wait for him to fumble. Which he did and she was able to mount a counter strike.
@@JimBalter it looked to me like she set up her pieces to make it look like she was pure defensive... to push him into that blunder. She took that she had a weak beginning and turned that into her strategy. My grandfather used to do that... a LOT.
@@JimBalter the guy had the advantage in the beginning bc he could play an opening he had studied and that Pia didn't know well. Once they got to the mid-game and he was out of prep, both their other skills showed through. When they had come up with and calculate their own moves, as you said he "fumbled" - he simply didn't see two lines that were viable for Pia to play.
@@sdmcdaniel2255That type of game does not cut it in her pool of 2500+ rated. It'll work against me and you and even this guy but not good.
There's something special about watching Pia play. I think it's her softness that makes me super chill
Absolutely, she's like that chill mom you dare not faulter 😅
Just goes to show true beauty is on the inside. Pia is amazing.
She's the definition of cool, calm, collected.
The Sofia Coppola of Chess ). Pia would be a great movie director.
Nothing soft about her, don’t be fooled.
Dude held his own extremely well, especially considering who he was up against
lol she beats him and you can’t even get mad at the warmth of her feedback. You got a good mom
At first:
- do you play a lot of chess?
- a bit
At the end:
- which is your rating?
- 2400 💀
He got out-smurfed.
Mmhm, though the 2200 Blitz was more relevant to this game than the 2400 bullet. Lots of players are like 2300 rapid/blitz and like 2800 bullet.
@@Promatim 2800 / 2300 spread is streching it too much
@@Promatim I am 1700 bullet and 2200 rapid (blitz also much higher than bullet). So 2400 bullet sounds pretty reasonable for me
Sorry guys please tell me about ratings…seriously
So he blundered at the end but other than that had a winning position for a major portion of the middle game. That guy plays amazing.
yeah she even said “yeah thats what i didnt want you to do”. He had her on the ropes. If he keeps with it he should be an awesome chess player one day. Hope to see him as a champ
@@Tampafan33 . Blitz is very different from classical chess. I have a 2400 online bullet rating and 2200 blitz as well. I wouldn't stand a chance against Pia in a classical otb game. It would take me many years of very hard work to get anywhere near Pia's level.
That he is a strong blitz player made much sense to me. He often provoked a blunder from pia by playing moves that didn't really improve his position, but are deadly when not spotting the idea. This is a really common theme in Blitz. Pia spotted most of them tho as expected
You have to play classical chess to get a title and beating a gm in a classical game is...rather difficult, don't think he would stand a chance
@@danielmohring4610 "playing moves that didn't really improve his position"
The engine evaluated him to be better for a major portion of the game, so that's just silly to say he didn't make objectively good moves.
This is a kind of a different comment but this video felt very ASMR to me. Background voices where the words are indistinguishable, the sound of the clock when they tap it is satisfying, it almost sounds like they’re in a cafe too but the outside noises makes it satisfying too like the sound of airplanes. ❤
THIS WAS SO ASMR
Snowflakes.
I thought I heard chewing it was annoying to me😅
How i wish every single being in this world like GM PIA,so kind, pure hearted everything!
He was surrounded by Cramlings. He never had a chance.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Anna, so nice to see your mum playing a short game and giving younger players the opportunity to play against her and for others to watch in real life and online. Maybe your mum will be encouraged to allow you to record more of such games for the benefit of others?
also, what I like is the friendliness of both Ethan and Pia... shaking hands twice while otherwise professional players have to forced by a rule to shake hands.... that is how all matches should end.
just noticed that they are wearing the opposite color of the chess piece they are playing
I saw her win at one tourney and she got up on a table and yelled. “ This is Sparta”!!! Floored everyone there cause she’s so polite and nice. It was epic
I really like Pia's approach to Chess. So humble, so kind, and helpful. Anna is amazing and a perfect combo of her parents. Thanks for posting such an awesome match.
3:50 a wild Anna Cramling spotted
Special guest
And the guy behind her checking her out! (Pardon the chess pun)😁😁😁
Anna sneaked into the camera frame.
@@twasbrilligandthesliyou can see the moment he caught himself. His eyes dart toward the camera and he looks back at the board. Haha. Like oh shoot, I forgot this is being recorded
The apprehension when she peaked at the clock, lol
Anna beaming with pride watching her Mother play. :)
Obstructing the view of other so she can be seen. I mean.......
@@MargotDobbie exactly
Yeah her presence was so effing annoying.
@@cshawnb She fine tho
@@aminalism avg at best.
I always want to hear the player told he just played a GM to see the expression. Pia is such a warm person.
1:00 "i like this for you" hahaha
lol right she says that knowing she’s about to cook him, he did great though
Cramlings are so nice whilst they insert the dagger slowly, even sort of hinting that they are going to insert the dagger into your heart, and then thank thee for the game.
i like your wording
It was so great getting to meet you at this tournament, Anna! I was the guy who was sort of matching outfit colors with you, if you remember haha. You and your mom definitely brought some extra excitement and fun when you came by. Keep up the great videos and hope to see you back in London sometime!
Pia’s tactics were just immaculate and incredible to watch! Her opponent did an amazing job!
I don’t know how to understand chess, but I love to see the moment he has a long pause and realises ‘hold on, she is absolutely cooking me right now’.
Whenever I watch/listen to Pia, I always think about how lucky Anna is to have a mom like that.
Yes her mum is awesome.
As someone who has a mom, I totally agree that Pia is a really nice mom.
I think Pia is likewise blessed to have a daughter like Anna. She's delightful.
I want to trade my mom for Pia.
8:51 - Pia is a stone cold killer. "It wouldn't change anything, no?" is basically her saying "dude, just resign" in the nicest possible way. A lot of credit to him for getting a good position against her!
No it's not lol stop making stuff up
He did resign.. He tapped the table beforehand to tap out didn't he?
can u explain 6:13 to me? she took G4 pawn from H4 position?

@@abdulhalimbinabdullatif2523 en passant :^)
There is no one who you would lose to than Pia. She gives sincere compliments with sweetness after crushing her opponent. Then Anna appears and softens the loss even more.
He had her on the ropes. He just blundered under time pressure. Hopefully he keeps at it. He was fun to watch. I loved how she even said “yeah thats what I didn’t want you to do”😂😂😂 but thats the difference between a very good player and a gm. He cracked she didnt
It was amazing to see the switch from defensive to offensive posture. Well, as a newbie that’s what it looked like. Really enjoyable to watch. Thanks for posting.
Pure class from both players. Pia is so gracious and humble in victory.
So great to watch Pia Cramling, both because of the quality of her game but also her educative and kind way of interacting. 💜💚💛
That was so good to watch,,excellent game by both. Your mother is so courteous and helpful to the other players...class. Thank you for uploading
How can Pia Cramling sneak into anything in the chess world? She is a legend!
Love when players talk strategy after. Shows the camradery in the game as well as what a real winner and a graceful looser look like.
LOL I wish they'd play to the very end so I could see the checkmate. I couldn't tell who was winning or why he suddenly conceded. I cannot think that far ahead. I thought he was hammering her. He even took her queen! It's quite clear that I wouldn't last thirty seconds against this woman.
Wish too. I suck at chess but she was going to get another Queen and finish him.
She was either going to get her new queen or take his castle if he went after her soldier. Either way he was gonna inevitably lose
Honestly the Cramlings just seem like such beautiful souls! Long may they continue to make great videos like this one.
Know them personally?
Exactly. Compare this to the yelling Botezs
1:00 Pia: "Yes this is fine for you now". This innocent "now" was kind of prophetic.
"now" as a consequence of her misplaying the response.
Stranger: Makes his third move
Pia: I guess that was your plan, yes...
Me: You guys have plans?
Me: King me.
@@stevenmeyer9674 I see your King and raise you knight.
That openning irritates me a lot as it blocks all my development.
Right?
Yeah looks like a gambit of a pawn to limit the opponent's development
Love the discussion that happens after the game. Really cool seeing them talk through mistakes, potential better moves, etc. Pia's brain is on another level, and he's no slouch himself!
What I LOVED seeing was the sportsmanship. Following the travesty of the Olympics, true camaraderie despite being on opposite sides is a beautiful thing. It’s always been a function of chess, but it’s so refreshing to see it.
Hope that girl watching pia learns from it
That girl is Pia’s daughter
@@AnnM223That's the joke.
Imagine if Anna was there, she'd have loved it.
@@AnnM223 Whoosh!
@@AnnM223 Does she play chess?
Your mum comes across as such a lovely, kind person. Only wishes the best for her opponent
The look of admiration on Anna's face as her mum moves around the board with ease and completes the job
Mom is a trash talker, and I’m here for it! “Yes, this is good for you”! 😂😂😂😂
I love these videos so much! Seeing Pia play is so entertaining to watch. And I love seeing Anna smiling in the background. :') So wholesome.
Great video! That guy played well, Pia is a machine! What a good game.
Wow. This guy played so GOOD and he still got destroyed by Pia.
The way they recall positions is amazing. He knew it was Pia, catch the reference "You played a woman from my club"
It helps when it's an opening you've been practicing a long time; it helps a lot actually. Play the same opening over 1000 times and eventually you'd do the same cus you get used to seeing a lot of positions over and over. I used to think it was some jedi mind trick, but no, it just comes with practice and skill. Anyone could do it with effort. It's kind of like learning a complex song or composition on an instrument. At first you can't play any of it but after a year of practice you can recite any measure at any time with ease.
@@podunkestk
I love they both sharing feedback at the end
Seems the difference between an expert and a GM is that the GM sometimes has to lose in order to win. More of a mental trick that younger opponents fall in to and lose track of their defense.
Anna's Mom is the kindest person I've ever seen. She rocks at chess.
He is a very good player. That was a great game.
Pia is the wonderful goodwill ambassador for competitive chess!
Never knew you could take a pawn from behind like that. First time I’ve ever seen that move
I love this woman so much I don’t even play chess like that but damn she’s awesome
Absolutely loved seeing Pia toying with these fresh young players 👌 she's incredible
She so diffrent from Anna and I love to see how she plays differently. I appreciate Anna for sharing her parents with us🎀
Watching Pia's games they often seem to start so calmly, and then at one point she breaks out an absolutely gangster move and proceeds to demolish your soul.
Her father GM won a senior tournament in Trondheim, Norway just a few days ago, with 8 out of 9.
Pia is so soft spoken yet a deadly opponent in chess. I was waiting for him to say he didn't know she was a GM
I really just watched a whole 9 minute video of people playin comp chess and i sont have any regrets. This lady is amazing.
i enjoyed the strategy recap at the end. that’s how you learn and become better. not just in chess.
Gotta give props to her opponent, he was better for at least half the game, just didnt convert properly.
He said he was 2100 ecf, so he's no slouch
No wonder Anna is lovely with such a sweet and humble mother.
Pia is literally deadly. She's so sweet and kind you'd never suspect her if you didn't know.... a bit like Anna's golden retriver vibes :-)!
He gave her a really good game - watching the rating bar was interesting, anyone who can hold up that long against Pia must be really good!
Literally deadly means she is actually causing death.
@@5piral0utusing literally for emphasis has been in common usage for at least 300 years.
@@Vortex-gz8seBy you, maybe. It's literally not even in my spell check.
@@bbaarneyy There is literally nothing wrong with using word "literally" for emphasis.

What a lovely demonstration of sportsmanship Just beautiful Such a kind woman and well mannered young man.
What an absolute legend Pia is. And such a nice person.
Anna is so proud of her mom!!
I always enjoy watching Mom demolish her opponent in chess.
I don’t know if that was a demolishing. He was better out of the opening and Pia got all her pieces tangled up. White opening the h file was a mistake and then he blundered tactically when he thought he could win a pawn but missed Nxd4. Then Pia simplified and showed her endgame technique.
anna watching and smiling in the background 😄
I can see how proud you are of your mom, and it warms my heart ♥️♥️♥️
In English we pronounce "E" the same way you pronounce "I" in nordic languages. So he was saying "ECF", as in English Chess Federation.
The Great Vowel Shift rears its head again!
Mate are you sure he didn't mean international chess federation?
Don't forget this is in spain
Oh na sorry you are right it's ECF, he plays for Battersea :)
@@manuelventura3799 London isn't in Spain!
0:30 If ever, an opponent in front of me starts lining up the pawns a few time at the pace she did I wouldn't be fooled that he/she is a sleeper. (car term) ;-)
He knows who is she
The non-car term is “ringer.” Like… having LeBron James play in your corporate basketball tournament is bringing in a ringer.
@@kelli217 learned something thx, basketball isn't that popular/ mainstream here.
All chess players: "rating doesn't matter".
Also all chess players: "what's your rating?"
True 🤣
rating does matter a lot in chess
If one thing in life is certain, it’s that I click on ANY Pia Cramling content.
Anyone who starts off by straightening their peices, RUN😂😂
Not so sure about the "sneaked" part, but she's delightful to watch play and I love her commentary as she plays, makes the games much more interesting.
Pia is so gracious win or lose.
He played such an excellent game. I hope he does well in his chess career. Well done Anna's Mom!!! ❤❤❤.
Sooo fun to see Anna supporting her Mom and her Mom winning such an enjoyable to watch game.
I feel sorry for everyone who had to play against Pia, going up against her is like dealing with a starved Lion.....
you shouldn't play chess with that attitude.
@@thinboxdictator6720 Agreed. You need a healthy ego for this. Think like a good boxer, an outfighter. It helps me to think it's both of us vs. the position as a puzzle. We are having a conversation about positions and checkmate.
@@Chunda8 Sherlock and Watson
This is such a wholesome video, opponent so nice and love to see the discussion of the game after
Ethan looks like a surfer 😅 He played really well. I like that chess games are usually very friendly, even during championships, with the players talking about their moves when they finish.
Great game, GM Pia!
Your mother is a treasure.
❤
Such a kind person--and a ferocious chess player!
That was a beautiful match. Your mom is wonderful.
Incredible seeing Pia play, 1st time for me, she's awesome. I played Chess club in school, sadly didn't keep it up, but set me up to think strategically in life, doing very well. Thanks for sharing this interesting video. All the best to Anna and Pia : )
That smile on Anna after D2-takes. "You're effed, now, my son."
Always a joy to see Pia play chess.
