Ngl, Anna is one of the reasons I started playing and loving chess. I got interested through an influencer event, then came across Anna on YT and now I'm addicted.
Thats why i like Lennox Lewis, while i am not even fan of boxing. He plays chess for fun, and after his chess user name came out many good players and GM's wanted to play with him, and he accepted. And as result his rating dropped massively, as he did lose every single game of course
Anna was about to fall out of her seat from excitement lol And her leaning over and asking “can we please continue playing?” killed me. Loved seeing these 2 cool dudes in a chess battle!
@@ShoppingEagle13 I don't mean that in a bad way. Look at her, she's lucky enough to be blessed with real beauty. Women like her should always keep something girly. The fact that she's probably smarter than 95% of all women and 99% of all men makes it all the better.
Anna, your time loss is only because of him playing the king unconventionally at the beginning, and trolling you for time. Your continuation draw is a sweet achievement.
It’s not a troll. I was prepping my lines in the Kingsindian Smirnov today and the engine randomly suggested the same move in a different opening. It didn’t make too much sense for me, but I saw that it was played by several strong players.
I wonder how it would have played out if time was never an issue? Actually, I don't. There's a reason he is a GM with a rating of 2600, she got lucky with a draw.
Hamer was right about what he said in the beginning, he is a Teddy Bear (the only teddy Bear I know of who's a GM, btw). Anna's draw has an asterisk by it, but clearly all the tournament play she's done lately has elevated her game. She has the talent, dedication and competitive spirit to become world class before long.
This draw was pure skill. When Anna's time was at 0:00 she found the stockfish best move, requesting to continue. It's a brilliant move, playing on the pride of the opponent who believes it's impossible for him to not win the game. Excellent play.
@@sitbone3 I think we all picked up on that, we're just delighted that she's happy and managed a draw against such a strong GM (despite the clock running out) 🙄
@@boffo63 "Under duress" he correctly claimed, bowing to her begging to continue to play 'an interesting (lost) position.' He's a good family friend of the Cramling-Bellon family i believe.
That guy is obviously smart as hell, and it’s amazing how good he is at seeming disarming and very ‘casual’ while at one point literally using words and suggestion to “maneuver” Anna into doing something that he wanted on the board. I mean it in a positive way and in the context of the game, super interesting watch and showed the strengths of both players.
Love to see Wirtual and Anna hanging out- I never wouldve expected this, but I love both of their content, and it's amazing that they found each other through chess. This game was also amazing, and Hammer was certainly trolling in the beginning, but what an incredible draw nonetheless. Congrats, and keep making these videos- I love them all!
This was so fun! Can you please do a video breaking this down like your tournament videos? I would love to hear you explain what you saw, the strategies, and what you were thinking, especially in the moment just as your time was running out.
Amazing game! Everything other than the d5 pawn is helping you in the position and I love that (the c pawns will help in a checkmate if king moves to a6)
get anna!! I discovered your channel last week cus I started playing chess again and I love your content sm, love the stuff with your parents :) keep it up im rooting for u!
@@JimBalter You looked up Wikipedia? The online encyclopedia won't tell you why they never stopped doing it. People realize when they're acting on instincts after a few times.
That was an amazing match, very entertaining! And even though I stopped the video after every move, I could not anticipate a single response. I felt like Barbie watching Einstein and Oppenheimer discussing nuclear fusion. So out of my league! I did learn some trolling techniques and that you should never listen to your opponent.
It was funny to see that you continued at some time pressing the clock button, while the clock was stopped long time before, probably due to nervousness :) Great game btw !
This video is so very cute! I love it! God bless GM Hammer for allowing the game to continue and allowing the final few minutes of Anna's video here to bear extra entertainment for all viewers! Both of these chess players are class acts!! ✨️🙂🥳
Even though you lost on time, it's so much fun watching you get so damned excited for the draw later. Just laughing watching you bounce on the chair for 5 minutes. :-) You have literally inspired me to take up chess again and finding out how much I've forgotten.
How chivalrous of Hammer to put himself in a position of draw, and then tell her about it in the most subtle way. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar!
Great sportsmanship from Hammer. Great game. I would like to see Hammer more often. His comments are onpoint and he makes a very goos teacher as for seeing and describing a position...I'm a fan
I was in this stream. My favorite moment was when Hammer trolls Anna about her hobbies, and Anna says “I like to watch Netflix okay? Leave me alone!” Anna, never lose that energy please!
WOW! Anna that was the most fun match I've seen this year. You are so charming. I love the strategic conversation between you and Hammer. Chess Princess.
That was an interesting game Anna! Congrats on drawing a GM! Guys even if she lose on time but by this rating difference he still didn’t win after he agrees to continue, it’s a social game after all with talking etc. that interferes with time as well, not just silently playing serious in a tournament, and they used the exact same time control despite their rating difference. don’t spread so much negativity. They’re both good chess players.
Anna ať 7:15: Good luck! (entering battle mode which is even more visible at 7:30) What a difference from her usual way of play. And I personally like this Anna a lot.
Anna lost an entire minute, 2:24-1:26, while Hammer justified his unusual king move. Then he was trolling her about checkmating her at the end, when he couldn't, which caused her to lose her last 3 seconds, at which point he only had 31 seconds on the clock. He had no choice but to accept her proposal to finish the game. Anything else would have been unfair in the circumstances, since he was clearly trolling her to make her lose on time, as he freely admitted he was trying to do.(7:05),Anna,, 'So you're telling me the only way to proceed here is by beating me on time?' Hammer, 'I mean it is the classic way of beating you, no?'
That's a gentleman. At his level, holding back the competitive drive is hard. He had no reason at all to let Miss Anna continue, but he did. What a good guy. But I must admit. It would be so very hard to say no to Miss Anna.
Una partida deliciosa de ver, sobre todo por la simpatía de ambos contrincantes. Estas pequeñas cosas son las que siembran afición en el ajedrez. Doy fe de ello. Saludos!
Hamer may be the #5 rated in Norway, but he's easily the #1 most entertaining.
I still think Magnus is more entertaining. I'll Hammer #2 🙂🙂
He was world number 40!
2 Legit
2 Legit To Quit
Yeah, Yeah...
@@baldheadkiddrunk magnus #1, otherwise he only #2 to hamer
MAGNUS????
"That is the classic way of beating you"
What a shot.
You nailed it. The 💎 of the encounter. Anna, make that exchange into a super short.
Hammer: In what universe am I not winning this?
Anna: In this universe.
Great line. The title had Me believing in a competition where Anna "drew" Hammer's lot.
I wonder what Botez "paid" for the prep? He wasn't doing much development. She actually lost on time
@@JakeLayman-md4fw He's a Hammer, he bangs people! A. Botez
Karma win !
I mean, he did win though.
How do you manage to stay so cheery? I don’t even play chess, but I watch your videos just to be inspired by your cheerfulness.
if you love the game, you don't mind to lose against a better opponent. You're losing for the beauty of the game.

Now that is how you trash talk your opponent into wasting time. Nicely done Hammer. Great fun to watch and well done Anna. 🥳
I love the joy on Anna's face when she asks if he wants to try the cow. And then the disappointment...💔
i missed this, thanks for pointing it out, so good
What's the cow?

ZGood, you can tell Hammeris arrogant
Hammer is my number 1 favorite player I have watched you play!!
I feel obliged to point out, this was really fun to watch. GG Anna!
Also, great sportsmanship of Hammer.
Has anyone ever not finish an Anna Cramling video without a smile on their face?
Why don't you go marry her?

This leaning over reminds me of my young daughters who got everything from me with exactly that move!!!

It is a friendly game and I'm sure both sides enjoyed conversation about this rare line of the game more than flagging

He won by time though
@@aninhabitantofcarcosa9345 he talked her into losing time, she talked him into ignoring the time.

Is that a diplomatic way to say "slimeball and nasty"?
He also has a wicked sense of humor, if you've seen much of him doing commentary. Really funny with frank and candid honesty.
@@ivan_pozdeev_uNo its not any diplomatic way of saying. He meant precisely what he said.

Kudos for Hammer for his great sportsmanship.
Cheer up Hammer, the younglings might be coming for you but you will always be the guy that en passant mated Magnus in our hearts forever ❤
Damn whaa? Is this game on youtube?
Wouldn’t mind checking out that game.
Witnessing this game during the livestream on Twitch was awesome! Congrats!❤

Anna continuously giggling near the end of the game was the best part. 😂
Utrolig gøy å se på - stor underholdning; takk til dere begge!
Your glee over the last 2 mins when you realize it’s a draw … you are like shaking with excitement … it’s so cute
your giggling of excitement was so fun to watch. very wholesome.
Beautiful game, Anna! Thanks to Hammer for being such a good guy!
This was so fun!
Can you please do a video breaking this down like your tournament videos? I would love to hear you explain what you saw, the strategies, and what you were thinking, especially in the moment just as your time was running out.
Hammer is always hilarious. Great video!
That was very sweet of him? Great to see the fairplay and peaceful enjoynment of good players like you.
Serves him right for explaining his strategy _on your time_
She was asking though. Her fault
Hammer is such an underrated entertainer. I wish he streamed more.
your joy when you drew is the best ever. you can really see how much you enjoyed it :D (sorry dålig engelska) men du är så genuine älskart :D
That was awesome. Hammer is a really good sport. Anna was so happy with the draw
Fun game as always to watch. Enjoyed the back and forth.
Amazing game! Everything other than the d5 pawn is helping you in the position and I love that (the c pawns will help in a checkmate if king moves to a6)
Good job getting him to continue. I would have fell for your charm too.
Your smile and manner make me so happy sometimes, Anna. Keep up the good work, and congratulations on that draw. 😊
get anna!! I discovered your channel last week cus I started playing chess again and I love your content sm, love the stuff with your parents :) keep it up im rooting for u!
She is joyful about the draw because she has a LOT of respect for Hammer!!!
Best thing ever is Hammer commentating tournament games from Anna or even the Botezsisters. He is sarcastic, evil, funny, selfaware and knows chess
Love how you both kept hitting the clock after time expired 😂😂😂 Congrats Anna 👍🖖🏽
Noticed it too, funny how brain works
I assume it's meant to signify the end of a move.

The last time I saw chess players suffer through a game like Hammer was Nepo vs Ding. He looked like he was being tortured LOL!!!
It was funny to see that you continued at some time pressing the clock button, while the clock was stopped long time before, probably due to nervousness :)
Great game btw !
Just out of habit I guess. It's important to maintain muscle memory when you're into an activity with tight time constraints.
This video is so very cute! I love it! God bless GM Hammer for allowing the game to continue and allowing the final few minutes of Anna's video here to bear extra entertainment for all viewers! Both of these chess players are class acts!! ✨️🙂🥳
I really like that they also teach so players get better
Hammer is such a nice guy. :)
That is hilarious that he said the classic way to beat you is on time! 🤣
Two of the most likable and entertaining people in the chess world. Scandinavia has been good to us.
I would say a draw was well deserved, especially after some time was wasted earlier in the game
Even though you lost on time, it's so much fun watching you get so damned excited for the draw later. Just laughing watching you bounce on the chair for 5 minutes. :-) You have literally inspired me to take up chess again and finding out how much I've forgotten.

"You have nothing. Your pawn structure blocks everything. Your bishop is ... " - Jon-Ludvig Hammer
