    Guys. Basic rule. Anna is super distracting so don't look at her, don't respond to her questions, be super scared when she is chatting away on HER time and not bothering to move. Just pretend you are somewhere else. It will delay your loss.

    Oooh I'm from the Netherlands and thought "hey I can read the posters on the wall😅"
    But now to the game, Anna says "you play quite well" but let's be honest....Snurre moved only his much to early queen around and get a punishment for that. Anna forked him with a check, she could take his rook, but chose for the pon instead....and looked at Snurrre's face at that moment. Wondering if he actually saw that or not. So she makes a second forked on the other side with a check....again Anna didn't take the rook and I thought...oh Anna doesn't want to hurt him to much, but I was wrong! She saw a checkmate coming, that's why she didn't take the rook😂 Always love to see Anna play and talk and her body language ❤

  • @ArtCooler1
    @ArtCooler1 Před 6 měsíci +15

    He moved his queen five times while Anna developed at least four pieces, most of which were attacking moves. He needs to review her video where she covers: 1) Check 2) Capture 3) Attack in calculating potential moves. Oh yes, also where she discusses defending one's own pieces at all times, if possible. Both of these points have helped my own game.

Then your opponant turns up, she is a young woman, with a dazzling smile and wonderful personality, ( and pretty damn good at the game as well) I have to admit, personally there is no way I could concentrate LOL.

    He moved his queen way too early. And she BS'd her way into really disarming him.

    Here in Minnesota there are many Swedes and Norwegians. They have the same kind of rivalry I see in this video. My Swedish American father and my Norwegian American mother-in-law used the talk the same way as these two. I think it is the only way to maintain the illusion that there is some important difference between the two countries.

    Over forty years ago I played a similar game, but with black, against a guy named Victor Tudisco. After I chased his queen around for the fourth move in succession he let out an audible groan. After I beat him he refused to shake hands and stormed off. The thought of it still amuses me to this day. I still have the score sheet.

    På norsk: Snorre Sturlason var en islandsk høvding, historiker og skald, og hørte til en av de mektigste ættene på Island, så Snorre/Snurre er et gammelt norrønt navn. Det er laget fra verbet snurre. Navnet kan ha betydd ‘den raske’ eller ‘den uvørne’. Greetings from Norway 🙂
    In english: Snorre Sturlason was an Icelandic chieftain, historian and poet, and belonged to one of the most powerful families in Iceland, so Snorre is an old Norse name. It is made from the verb spin. The name may have meant 'the swift' or 'the fearless'. Greetings from Norway 🙂

    He is definitely a complete beginner that had no idea how strong Anna was! I'm nowhere near as good as Anna is and I knew he was playing complete rookie moves! But she had the right attitude to keep him interested in playing chess, winning graciously is a good skill that I think comes naturally to her
