I love that you played him with respect from the handshake. So much fun to watch.

It might sound bad, but I'm really glad Anna didn't hold back against him - he definitely was up for the challenge and has probably flattened loads of unsuspecting opponents in the past, and this will teach him that he still has some learning to do and hopefully will motivate him to see that others still have a lot they can teach him! It really seemed like this game was going to be a draw at a couple of points, so he really held his ground and the smallest slip up could have led to his victory!

Indeed - I was a fair player in my late-teens, but once got slaughtered in a tournament by a kid who can't have been more than 8 or 9, despite having been warned by a pal (who'd also been slaughtered by him) that he was seriously good. I often wonder what became of him, especially when I see kids like the one Anna beat here.

gotta love a kid with confidence in what he's doing

Anna, your videos were the first chess videos I ever watched a couple months ago. You got me in the chess and I just wanted to give you a small thanks. Keep being a good example for the game!

That kid mature way beyond his years! Quiet confidence.

Years ago I played a female chess player. 8 years old she was of Chinese descent. About 12 moves in the game she thinks for about a minute. After that every moves she made was instantaneous. She had the whole game figured out in a minute at the 12th move. Impressive. She is now an international chess grand master. Ty Maïli-Jade Ouellet.

One blunder in the endgame, otherwise the little mofo would've cleaned your clock. Dang.

Anna, I've never seen you so quiet.

Aw wholesome vid! Thanks for the great content Anna❤😊

Anna, you are most impressive when playing children. You are such an unassuming and humble master. What a good spirit you have!

He needs to learn not to let people like her distract him with small talk while the game is in progress. She uses small talk, especially in the beginning, to distract her opponent.

That kid would destroy me!

Anna your so good with children you will be a great mother one day!

He had only one blunder, he played very well 👏

Not the last time we're going to see that young man at the board. Loved watching. Chess Princess

He held on really well till near the end where he blundered positionally which cost him the rook and the game.

This kid is going places! Good game!

He wasn't sticking around at the end... he had business to attend to

Jules is so polite and strong. Congratulations.

The young lad is sharp. No doubt. I enjoyed watching this video very much.

That was an interesting end game, of which I only understood some of the moves. The kid played great.

That kid was actually SUPER good at chess danggg!! And only 8 :O

WOW. You play so good. The last minute of your time you made so many moves it was crazy.

Anna is always super focussed on winning, even against an 8 year old, at the expense of any chess discussion. I like to see discussion between a top adult player and a child, let the child explain their strategy and reasoning and give some feedback ... As a kid whenever I played adults, if they didn't offer me any wisdom or tips or advice I thought "big deal might as well be playing against a computer", but some adults showed me where I went wrong and gave me tips. Those were the encounters I loved ... In this game the kid lost out due to impatience in the endgame leading to wasting some moves and inefficiency, and perhaps he overcommitted on the left side. If I was that kid I'd have loved to hear feedback like that. At the end Anna called out "good luck with your Chess", but the kid was already gone. There was a post "thank you for playing me", nah, I don't see it, I don't see that the kid would've especially enjoyed this game. Parents maybe stepped in to write the post ... Perhaps I am unfair in expecting Anna to be interactive when maybe she is more nerdy that appearances and not a natural at conversation or being social like that.

He knew who you were.

Brilliant little kid

Felicito a la chica, muy humana ella, porque todo el tiempo le preocupo mas el niño que su partida, felicidades a ambos😊

I love the way you are interacting with your opponent❤❤❤❤❤❤

Stunning game, Jules_ pity you had to rush off to another game!

One of the most intelligent players I’ve ever seen her go against…and he was 8 😳

you made the children cry. he will get back to you soon.

Me encantó esa línea de peones adelantada, Anna, avanzaban como espartanos. Que increíble ese niño, juega rápido y bien! Se retorció hasta el final jajajaja. Buena partida!

The wee kid could find moves in seconds rather than the minutes it'd take me. Did wince with the mate blunder, not surprised he left so soon I know how he felt.

... He better pull his bishop back, last chance ... ... you should still move you damn KING ...

Anna once again reiterating, when you sit down to play a kid... take them to the endgame.

I don't even know what pieces can do what moves.

He plays really well and intuitively, quickly finding sensible moves. Astonishingly mature play. At 2:55 Anna exchanges into an ending where he has weak doubled and isolated pawns but it's Bishops of opposite colours which makes it very drawish. At 3:55 I was expecting him to play f4 and take advantage of his doubled rooks to exchange his weak f pawn. Playing f3 and allowing g3 is a bit risky. At 6:45 I thought Anna would play Ke5 when the d pawn looks doomed. After Rc8 it then looks like Bb7 wins a pawn, but Re8 (threat Re2) would make it tricky; maybe Kf1 Re3 Bxa6 Rxf3+ Ke2 Rf2+ ... looks good for Black. In the ending his R and B get on to passive squares, but at 8:35 he can try Rd1 (Rh4 is tempting but fails to Kg5) to threaten both Rd4 and Rd5. The actual error is Kg1, after which the game is lost (see evaluation bar). After Rd8 Bxf5 Rd1+ Kg2 Rd2+ Black mops up White's b pawn and the passed c pawn will win. Kf1 just shortens the agony. Shows the importance of keeping your pieces active in the middlegame and endgame!

hes so mature

Rook should have been on D8 about half a game ago when he was putting his bishop in useless places, take the pawn and check but at least you still have the same checks now that his bishop is buried ...

Anna you are great with kids, that was a pleasant chess game. Have an awesomeness day.

Great youngster, so unstated 🙂

Saludes desde los Ángeles I love your videos 😃🇲🇽👍

... please finally attack his lonely bishop, please ...
