I personally can’t be bothered with them. I am learning so much more about chess and being entertained by the enthusiasm along the way. As for intelligence, it’s chess, that is a given, probably for all of us. And to be honest, Anna’s mum is the one I think is gorgeous.

Жыл бұрын

Interviewer: So, Mr. Bug, we've called you in today to understand your motives for interrupting that intense chess match by landing on the touchscreen. Can you shed some light on the situation? Bug: Well, it's quite embarrassing, actually. You see, I was innocently flying around, and the bright glow of the touchscreen caught my attention. Curiosity got the best of me, and I thought it was a fantastic spot to take a quick break. Interviewer: Ah, so you were simply seeking a resting spot? Bug: Exactly! I didn't realize that my tiny weight would trigger such a response from the touchscreen. I had no intention of disrupting the game or causing any chaos. Interviewer: Understandable, Mr. Bug. Touchscreens can be quite sensitive. But what made you choose that particular moment during the chess match? Bug: Well, as luck would have it, I happened to land on the touchscreen at the exact moment when the chess players were about to make their critical moves. It was purely coincidental, and I apologize for the timing. Interviewer: It seems like a case of unfortunate timing indeed. Were you aware of the frustration it caused? Bug: Absolutely! I was just minding my own business, trying to satisfy my curiosity, when suddenly, chaos ensued. I unintentionally became the center of attention, buzzing around and causing a bit of a panic. Interviewer: Understandable. It seems like a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Bug: Exactly! I never meant to cause any harm or disrupt anything. All I wanted was a little snack, and the next thing I knew, people were swatting at me and screaming. Interviewer: Well, Mr. Bug, thank you for shedding light on your situation. We appreciate your honesty, and it's clear that this was all a misunderstanding. Bug: No problem at all! I'm just glad we could have this interview and clear the air. It's not easy being a bug in a human-dominated world, you know? Interviewer: Indeed, Mr. Bug, indeed. We'll make sure to spread the word and ensure that everyone understands your true intentions. Bug: That would be fantastic! Just remember, next time you see a bug buzzing around, think twice before judging its motives. We're just trying to survive and find a tasty treat, after all! Interviewer: Wise words, Mr. Bug, wise words. Thank you for your time, and best of luck with your future endeavors! Bug: Thank you! I'll do my best to stay out of trouble. Buzzing off now!

Or a labrador! :-) Either way, I've had insects help me by landing on squares and making me think they were sent by God! Also one man once squashed a little fly on the board. I raised an eyebrow and continued to win that game! With the game of go of which I played an outdoor tournament in the village of Lunteren we had a parasitic wasp hover above the board. "You have a floating stone!", a spectator said. Can you play the game of go, Anna? It is late 00:10 am here. I might now stay awake all night 'cause I passed the midnight time of day. It is a good rule to always go to bed earlier. Oh well.. :-) Nice win, Anna!

How funny is that to hear your mum. She has become so great on your stream that the whole world wants to listen to it (including insects!) insects have great taste and know who to listen to

What a pleasant person. Her parents must be very proud of her.

unfortunate but you both seemed to handle it fairly well good one him for being a good sport

Anna an accuracy of over 94% against a 2200 opponent is awesome! 🎉 Did anyone question this chess insect to determine if it travelled from Sweden??😇

Amazing how you can play such a mentally draining game, then stay up and go through the game again with many other lines. Mahalo, from Hawaii, these videos are helping my game!

Everyone loves this chess girl from Sweden, Anna,she's so down to earth, and she's as smart as a whip 😺,I always get in a better mood when I watch her videos, she makes everyone smile 😀

I know 550k subs is an amazing achievement in itself but I truly feel like Anna is going to blow up this year and will get to a million either late this year or early next year. It’s almost impossible not to like her content and her personality.

I love to follow these tournement videos Anna. Tak!

That was EXCELLENT. Very well played. There is NO reason for you to feel bad. It was 5 seconds; it had NO meaning to the actual game, and you both carried on and played very well. We LOVE your joy and enthusiasm of life! These actual competitions are VERY GOOD for you and I for one want to see you enter more of them.

That's quite a story, Anna! Funny but at the same time scary for you. Glad you both decided to play on and that you won. Well done!

I was watching the stream for about 1.5 hrs around when you played d5, you played excellently there and eventually the entire game! What a tournament you are having, keep doing well :)

Anna you are just wonderful honestly. I wish I had someone in my life that radiated joy like you do - your parents must be so, so proud!

and that's where the term "bug" in computer programs came from ! Literally !

I re-watched the whole "bug" incident moment like 10 times! That was SO funny! I know it wasn't what Anna wanted, but life is filled with moments like these and although they are stressful at the time,...we will eventually laugh about it all later with friends and family, and maybe even with an opponent of a competitive match. When "life's moments" happen, just smile and carry on. Well done.

I’ve been loving the half vlog half chess videos! ❤😊

Very happy for you! Wish you well! Love your smile!!

Such great videos, it's infectious. Good luck.

Hope your dad enjoyed being back in Spain :-)! What a crazy thing to happen! Glad you won but must have been a bit unsettling, you've done so well in this tournament! Really glad to see you feeling so happy and playing confidently! Hope you slept well!

I’m loving these videos, hugs from Brazil

The first computer bug was a moth that landed on and shorted out the memory of an IBM computer back when you could actually see each individual bit of memory as two wires crossing. Since that time computers have evolved gigabytes, but bugs can still crash the system with the same primitive strategy. Congratulations on rising above the situation and surrendering the exchange for a better position that ultimately won you this game!

You really played wonderful tactics with your "nothing to lose" mindset. It made you more confident. Maybe you should have this mindset more. I absolutely love your channel and your enthusiasm!

The incident is just funny. Enjoy your win!

Proof that even instects want to see Anna's games LOL😂😂😂

Anna is such an easy person to root for. Her level of play has really excelled after the well-played excellent positional game in Iceland. I think she is now able to combine her tactical skills with her underrated positional ability. Very impressive!!! Looking forward to round 8. Go, Anna, If you play your Dad Cow time.

Congratulations Anna! Great chess and great chess content!! ☝️🥇🏆

That was a brilliant game Anna. Very well played. Thanks for posting.

When I read the title, I was sure that a wasp or something similar was flying around the board all the time and stopped you from focussing on the game. Which, by the way, is my worst nightmare. I think I would just resign and leave if that happened. 😂

Absolutely excellent!!

Congratulations! I'm happy for your win 💪

Another excellent game! The exchange sacrifice was ingenius. Your two Bishops ended up being stronger than the Rooks of your opponent. As I told you in my previous comment under your first game, you are ALREADY over 2,200 in strength! Bravo!

Wow was that fantastic to watch! Well done!

Wow, that's crazy Anna! : D But congratulations for the win, amazing! : 3

Felicidades!!! Que bueno! Echale ganas y ganaras!

great content again, I can't wait for your next tournament !

It's great you're going deep - like the ... Qb6 variation but in the end you're evaluating a future position which is less reliable than evaluating a current otb position. Only pointing this out because time pressure gets to you eventually. Good story - thx!

A random monitor, whose sole purpose is to display stuff, now has a friggin' touchscreen. The future. I hope insects are happy.

So exciting to check out your games

Love the way you say “seven” , “chess” and “check”

Woot Woot! Awesome win! Good Luck going forward.

Congratulations on the win !!!!!!

What a comeback by you, Anna. I thought the pressure being applied by your opponent was going to lead too a checkmate but you turned it completely around and reversed that pressure to your advantage forcing his resignation!! Great Job, Anna!

Excellent played Anna! You are really taking on at the board! Looking very promising! Greetings from Stockholm

What a game! The stream coming up is so weird. That rook sacrifice was super brave. Very well played.

Goodnight! I’ll be watching this tournament. Best of luck. Go get ‘em!
