      exactly !!! this is exactly what I love harmonious energy, and just humbleness. Which is the best. Absolutely f*** people like that kid who Anna played some months ago in one of the usual places. The things he said it’s not hustling it’s being a complete asshole, as it’s absolutely not necessary.
      I was so glad that at the end they played another game, which we will see soon.
      Also I wish Anna could have reversed taking the bishop so that he could have played his line. But later it was cute and funny that he thought for a bit that he might have blundered. Even after Anna gave a check with her queen, he knew it was a bad move just didn’t right away know the best response.
      I hope you could play him more !!!

    not only has she developed confidence in going against several range of high rating players in tournament format but she also helping young new talent get exposure by upsetting higher rating chess players and is not afraid to show it. I'm sure the kid is going brag that he was able to get 1 off a WFM and make his parent proud that their kid has done such a good job in practicing and getting good at something he liked.

    You cannot allow that line of play to take hold. You must stop it early at your 3rd move with Rook to e5 or pawn to d4 or even Queen to h4 pinning his knight to the King.

    I like how we don't get to see him destroying you with the black pieces. Very clever.

    My most recent chess tournament game started where my opponent played e4 and I responsed with c5 and I won the game. He was rated 1650 too.
