    A sweet victory. He was confident all the way until he realized that you were indeed winning after your queens were off the board. I take it that in younger days he was the stronger player who would banter to get in your head. But you got him this game. Seems he really didn't want to lose as he asked twice for a draw. Glad that you declined the draw - childhood friend or not.

    I love how obvious their old friendship is throughout this. I think the people complaining are only seeing things at surface level and can't directly relate from their own experiences. Even as an adult with a professor career, if I meet some childhood friends, I will forever be young and open around them. It never changes with certain friends no matter how life passes.

      There are many people, particularly those who have spent much of their waking hours on-line, not engaging in real life interpersonal relationships, for whom such friendships are not understood. In fact it seems that for many observers posting here, an interaction like the one in this video is viewed as somehow negative and even nefarious. I pity such people. They seem to go through life in a kind of terror.

I bet he'll get better as he gets older. He still has that young, hyper bro energy, especially probably being around Anna and knowing her emerging fame.

      @@haniigg Are you Nordic or German? In my experience these cultures of people are typically more closed off and don't have the same experience in general of stresslessness and the feeling to be 100% natural around your oldest friends at all times like in North/South America and Asia. It was kind of a shock to me. Anna is half Swedish but she is very well travelled and 'globally raised', so she strays from the mold I'm describing.

You people don't seem to respect the very nature of Anna's channel: that of spreading positivity; all that just in a vague misguided attempt to defend her "honour". 1), do you even understand what deadpan humour even is? 2) do you actually know what it means to have fun and to not take everything so seriously? 3) did you not even realize that Anna and James have been childhood friends for years and they have always had this dynamic?
