      ​I completely agree! But that's more than likely how he knows her. There are (according to FIDE in May 2021) 9,460 active chess players with a rating of 2200. Anna is more than likely known for being a chess content creator than being a chess player alone.

      for sure. to be fair to reach any level of competency with chess one has to lose hundreds of times. I'm not certain if that fosters an ability to take defeat in stride or whether people who can't do that to begin with just don't make it that far, or perhaps a combination of both. but from my experience the chess community is remarkably respectful and gracious regardless of the outcome of the game

    This was some nice content Anna, thank you 😊 It was a good game, and I was thinking he kinda had you … But it was your finishing that counted in the end … Listening to Levy lately, I recognise that your experience with vision and moves is what makes you the superior player. Well done 😉

    When they play Catalan theory, suspicion rises.
    When they play good backward bishop move in couple seconds, all doubts are off - they play a lot.

    The Catalan is a powerful opening, black must learn how to 'counterplay' it, otherwise black loose quite fastly.

    at 10:06 qf5+ was much better if she goes h8 there is a check mate: kh8 ng6+ kh7 or kg8 then ne7+ kh8 q f8+ kh7 qg8# so after qf5+ g8 is the only move but then white had nd3 and blacks best move is qa5 and because of qf5 earlier white can take on d5+ and thats all she wrote because the knight just dropped now white can try to line up the same position with the knight on e7 by bringing the knight back and getting the bishop involved
