It was endearing to see Pia speed up her commentary as Anna's time was getting lower. The excitement in her voice is so heartwarming, you can tell she is a very proud mother. :)
Pia did such an amazing job! It was fantastic hearing what she thinks of Anna’s game and seeing her passion and true brilliance shine!! I’d love to see more videos off just Pia commentary’s because it really brings her out of her shell, allows her guard to come down and gives us the best view into her mind around chess. ❤
The commentary from such a good player as Pia as she goes through the possible alternatives is just wonderful for my chess. Moves I would never have considered i'm now playing in my games and taking easy points off higher rated players. Thank you so much ❤
Tack så mycket, Pia. Det har varit jätteintressant att höra dig kommentera under denna turnering, och det är så kul att se hur stolt och glad du är när Anna gör ett bra drag.
What I love about Pia's commentary is that she can spot and explain the likely lines together with *why* they work, as opposed to just reading computer evaluations the commentator's can't understand.
I love listening to GM Pia's excitement and comments, and then Anna and Pia discussing the moves afterwards! What a beautiful mother/daughter relationship! Such an awesome channel! Subscribed!
This game was literally one of THE most exciting games I’ve watched this year. I literally was unable to stop watching cus their it was so insane. And you played AMAZING ANNA!!!🥳🥳🎉
Wow...I can't get over how Pia transformed my attention on a game of chess - absolutely amazing play by play! Thanks, that was great. I hope the chess world notices this and realizes how it might be possible to take the game of chess to the next level of popularity. And congrats Anna - great game!
Thank you Anna. For bringing the beauty , power and finesse of Chess back into my life! Best wishes for you and the family . Prosperity for the New Year 🎉.
Great commentary Pia. All chess games I watch live there were two or three commentators with a special guest as well but it’s just Pia and she keeps people interested
First time that I have watched one of these (normally watch the recaps) and wow it was a lot more exciting than I thought it would be! What a crazy game!
Happy New year,what an exciting game! I need to rest my brain after that too! Watched the whole game, what a mind expanding thing it is to listen to you mom analyze the game! Thanks again for sharing these games,really educational!
Excellent game. It seemed like Anna's opponent was playing blitz style, but it wasn't blitz! Anna took her time and took him and his unsound attack down!
I'm just 24 minutes in and there are some technical issues with displaying the board. However, the analysis by Pia is the best I've seen. So useful for my chess education. Thank you!!!
Anna is tied with one other player at the top with 4.5/5. In addition, the results of the game from the two players who started the game with 4/4 is not yet in; if they draw, they will also be at 4.5/5. I think she will be playing one of these three players next, and they are all slightly higher rated than she is.
They drew, so there are now four players at the top with 4.5/5, including Anna. Anna will be playing a slightly higher rated player (by 24 points), but Anna will have the white pieces. Here's hoping Anna can turn the white pieces into a win!
Bxb1 will go down in chess history as the Cramling gambit! Happy New Year! New years resolution for Pia: Never again use the word "scary" in Anna's presence.
The guy played fast to try to put you in time trouble, which is generally not difficult to do. His prep wasn't a specific line, it was just "play fast". Glad it didn't work out for him.
Pia is freakin’ adorable. LOVE the energy.
If Pia is happy, I'm happy too.
😀
Indeed 🙂
same here - love Pia’s pride and enthusiasm!
Best post of all.... "If Pia is happy....". Yep.
Yes, best post!
Anna and Pia are more entertaining and provide better chess learning than other major tournaments. Great content.
I couldn't agree more.
This was more emotional and exiting than any F1 or Football broadcast. Congratulations Pia and Anna 💐
This is just so wholesome. Pia and chat cheering for Ana. Really teared me up! Congrats!
Pia's energy and analysis is amazing. It must be so cool for her to watch her daughter's chess progression.
That was awesome. Thank you Pia. Nice game Anna!!

I do not know if listen to Pia or Anna makes me smile more, but thanks for sharing! You are both great. Gott Nytt År!
Now that it you mentioned it, I'm not sure about it, either... Definitely, both of them make me smile a lot!
I love Pia. She makes "Anna comes back with a cup of coffee" sound exciting.
Perfect post. Pia makes things exciting. Yeppp.
Como se nota en amor que tiene Pia por este juego, la emosión que le impone es contagiosa.
I just hit the notification button. Your mom's commentary is a lot of fun to watch! Great game.
30:16 - the kid playing to Anna's left has a huge eyebrow-raise at Anna's opponent castling!
I confess to be as shocked as him.
Tack så mycket, Pia. Det har varit jätteintressant att höra dig kommentera under denna turnering, och det är så kul att se hur stolt och glad du är när Anna gör ett bra drag.
Otroligt spännande och intressant
Thanks again for another great commentary and lesson.Oh and well done Anna.
Happy new year Pia and Anna! Great game!
Awesome job Anna!!!
Enjoy your New Years !!!
See you in 2024 for Round 6 on Tuesday !!
Pia is the best chess commentator ever. First person I've seen to make chess feel exciting to the viewer. I've watched every round and loving it :)
What did I just witness? A BRILLIANT GAME!!!!!!!! Enjoyed every second! Happy New Year
2:40:09 Funny how Anna's opponent placed the King on the light square and the kid to anna's left noticed it and smiled. That was cute 😅
He was watching their game closely throughout 😄.
I like when you're mom does the commentary more of that please
What I love about Pia's commentary is that she can spot and explain the likely lines together with *why* they work, as opposed to just reading computer evaluations the commentator's can't understand.
Spending new years eve listening to the enchanting voice of Pia
Great game, Anna. Thank you for the commentary, Pia.
Such a great game and commentary again! Never lost the advantage. And happy new year, feliz año nuevo, gott nytt år!
Wow the Cramling family seems like such nice people.
I love listening to GM Pia's excitement and comments, and then Anna and Pia discussing the moves afterwards! What a beautiful mother/daughter relationship! Such an awesome channel! Subscribed!
These commentaries are great to listen to. It feels like a easy way to learn just by absorbing theory and tactics. Anna is a great presenter !
Great game and terrific commentary. Happy New Year.
This game was literally one of THE most exciting games I’ve watched this year. I literally was unable to stop watching cus their it was so insane.
And you played AMAZING ANNA!!!🥳🥳🎉
Wow...I can't get over how Pia transformed my attention on a game of chess - absolutely amazing play by play! Thanks, that was great. I hope the chess world notices this and realizes how it might be possible to take the game of chess to the next level of popularity.

I never knew chess could be so exciting. Thanks Anna, and Pia too :)
Thank you Anna. For bringing the beauty , power and finesse of Chess back into my life! Best wishes for you and the family . Prosperity for the New Year 🎉.
Everyone says it, but it’s true. Pia is simply the best commentator. Truly. And her excitement is infectious. Wonderful.
Great commentary Pia. All chess games I watch live there were two or three commentators with a special guest as well but it’s just Pia and she keeps people interested
Pia. I loved your commentary and play throughs.
Anna's game took on a life that was thrilling to share with you.
Thank you.
Congratulations! I’ve been watching all of your games in this tournament, and we are all so proud of you! Win 1st place Anna!
First time that I have watched one of these (normally watch the recaps) and wow it was a lot more exciting than I thought it would be! What a crazy game!
This is the first round I've tuned into... Pia's mom-energy channeled through chess is awesome.
I follow this channel mostly because of Pia Cramling who is fantastic and it's so nice to see her happy.
Really enjoy watching these, it is the best youtube drama! Great play by you and your mum's commentary is so good.
Happy New Year to the Cramling family and Happy Birthday to your editor!
Pia's knowledge and enthusiasm makes for an enjoyable watch!
Congrats Anna! You played so well in such tough positions!
Fantastiskt Anna ! Stort Grattis !
Congratulations, Anna !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Super
Incredible commentary, hats off. Also, Anna played really well. Superb. 😊
Can't wait for tomorrow's video from Anna.. Gonna see that excitement and all that cheer into the new year 😬🥳🥳🥳
Pia puts everything she has into every move and she is so kind to her loving daughter. Nice.
Pia and Anna. You both make chess addictive. TY.
I began the year with this vid, thank you. HNY to you and your family! 🥂
Excellent! Thank you. 🙏🏻
Happy New year,what an exciting game! I need to rest my brain after that too! Watched the whole game, what a mind expanding thing it is to listen to you mom analyze the game! Thanks again for sharing these games,really educational!
Nothing like a positional player analysing a tactical game. Love Pia!
Congrats Anna. Happy New Year to you and your familia.
Great game Anna, record time too, happy new year 💜
“Anna - FROZEN !” comment wins the stream chat 😂 Never seen anyone who can sit that still for half an hour 🥶
That was intense. Good performances from the Cramlings.
Excellent game. It seemed like Anna's opponent was playing blitz style, but it wasn't blitz! Anna took her time and took him and his unsound attack down!
I'm just 24 minutes in and there are some technical issues with displaying the board. However, the analysis by Pia is the best I've seen. So useful for my chess education. Thank you!!!
Congratulations Anna!! Happy New Year Anna, Pia, and Juan! Have a fantastic year ahead! 🎉🎊🎈
this is my new favourite content
Loved it. A magnificent game. Chess Princess.
Amazing Pia offers such generous explanations
I started out just rooting for Anna because she’s likable and familiar. By the end, I wanted her to make good moves out of concern for her mother.
Such a challenging game, and great defense from Anna!
Happy New Year Anna, Pia and everybody 🎉🎉🎉
Well done Anna GG . Happy Year New Anna, Pia ,Juan all the best and have a good one and all the best for 2024.
I think that youngster next to her saw something he liked about her play as well, lol. He was constantly side-eyeing her moves. Smart kid. Next!
Anna has a good chance to win this tournament...love the Pia commentary...get some rest and some good food...and keep up the great chess!
Anna is tied with one other player at the top with 4.5/5. In addition, the results of the game from the two players who started the game with 4/4 is not yet in; if they draw, they will also be at 4.5/5. I think she will be playing one of these three players next, and they are all slightly higher rated than she is.
They drew, so there are now four players at the top with 4.5/5, including Anna. Anna will be playing a slightly higher rated player (by 24 points), but Anna will have the white pieces. Here's hoping Anna can turn the white pieces into a win!
Anna swagging a whole rook 🤯
2:55 "I will not get into time trouble" ...
Anna's greatest weapon...her smile! I would lose just to see it.
Pia is absolutely brilliant! GG Well played Anna!
Grattis!!🎉🎉🎉
Sharing 2nd Place! Woop woop! So well done, Anna!
Really fun to watch! Feels like the opponent's game plan from the beginning was expecting time mismanagement to happen in complicated positions.
That game might be the best I've seen Anna play.
Pia is really good at commentary! Anna you’re good too.
I just came from playing the 33rd North America Open ❤ for 3 days. I know how tired it can be.
Quelle partie! Pia est fantastique. Anna , 2024 sera ton année! Bonne année du Québec.
Congratulations Anna, it was bad start but you cleaned it up really well. Good job
Where is round 6?
Pia is the hypetrain!
i love your mothers energy as much as yours...your mother is adorable...love you both....
I LOVE the way Anna Iced her pone.
Letting pone stew for a bit pregame broke his brain.
Bxb1 will go down in chess history as the Cramling gambit! Happy New Year! New years resolution for Pia: Never again use the word "scary" in Anna's presence.
Congratulations anna
The guy played fast to try to put you in time trouble, which is generally not difficult to do. His prep wasn't a specific line, it was just "play fast". Glad it didn't work out for him.
I just love your mother.!!
FIDE needs to put up a psychic shield, totally unfair to have your GM mom upstairs direct beaming analysis.
Pia is a great hypecaster lol
This was like listening to horse racing commentary.
Happy New Year to you and your family! ❤
Wow what a game Anna
Great game!
I love hearing Pia get excited as the game gets sharp 🙂
