"I like the moment when you break a man's ego." -Bobby Fischer

When I was in the first grade (6 y/o) I learned to play chess and taught my two year younger brother. A year or two later (he was 5 or 6 and I was 7 or 8) we were at my uncles house and asked if we could play chess (the grown ups were conversing at the table). Some time later he comment to my father that is was cute to see us acting like we were playing a real game. My father assure him we were actually playing and we were brutal. He watched a few minutes and asked to play the winner. I won and we reset the board. He was check mated in 5 moves and blown away. He never made that open again. Great memories.

Really though, her competitors always seem to be gracious and friendly, and always losers. Is it that she's proclaiming herself a Hustler! She's an engaging young lady, her opponents colorful, and the games are interesting. I don't see why deception is necessary.

You got him nervous Anna...he's shakin like a leaf😂

lol first thing i definitely cant play like that XD i was having a hard time even keeping up let alone thinking of a movie, mad respect to them and everyone who can play like them. also grats on taking both wins :P anna, i only ever played chess with my grandpa when ever i was over his house, he would watch his tv when it was my turn and look over move a piece and look back at his show he's watching and keep doing that lol while all the while i'm focused on the chess game, not gonna lie i felt so dumb with the knowledge no matter how hard i think about what i should do, he instantly knows what piece to move without even taking time to think, it was amazing. (just for clarification he was not one of the people who would train for competitions or anything he just loved playing chess, he played it since he was little :P i miss those times.) i never got good enough to beat him, i was better at rummy then chess, but i almost always beat him at checkers XD noone in my family likes to play rummy with me because i give off false signals when playing!, confusion is the key :) i'd love to play chess with you just to see how i fair :) but seeing you and this guy play how you play i think i'd either run outta time or you'd just crush me lol but it'd still be fun i'm sure!

What... Ok, weird choice of words. It's all playful trashtalk. That's what typically does down during these street chess games. Don't doubt Anna has humility in her, but she brings out another side for these types of games :) ... That should go without saying but if you're in doubt, observe her mother and how respectful and kind she is: no way Anna couldn't have adopted that ;)

@@p.wittig8432 Since my comment was the only one on this thread, before you posted yours, I think it's safe to assume you're talking to me... It seems bizarre that someone who describes hubris as "playful trashtalk" [sic] would talk about a "weird choice of words". I guess it depends on culture. I'm used to seeing cultured chess masters with MANNERS AND CLASS. "Class" means humility despite being an almost indomitable master. It means winning gracefully, as opposed to being arrogant by rubbing an opponents nose in a defeat. I've played many chess games and won most, and I can honestly say that I have never trashed other people. Conversely, I've lost chess matches to admirable players who didn't feel the need to denigrate me just because they won a match, and those are, frankly, the people that I respect the most!! Judging by *YOUR* "choice of words," these are things that you most likely wouldn't understand.

@@BLACK-AUTUMN-MAGICK I respect your viewpoint and agree that humility and grace in victory are hallmarks of a great chess player. But remember, the context here is street chess, where a bit of bravado and friendly banter are often part of the fun. That said, I couldn't help but notice a touch of irony in your comments. You've highlighted your own success in chess and the respect you've garnered, while simultaneously criticizing Anna for doing the same, albeit in a more playful and perhaps theatrical context. Isn't it possible that you, too, are showcasing a form of hubris by dismissing others' interpretations of what constitutes "class" and "manners"? Asserting that someone else "most likely wouldn't understand" certain concepts based on their choice of words seems a bit presumptive and, dare I say, lacks the humility you champion.

@@p.wittig8432 There's little point in a discussion with someone that resorts to strawman arguments. I never criticized her for winning, that's utterly absurd. I said that her statement, "I lose the first of my matches, and then I win the rest," was arrogant! I've never said anything like this to anyone. But I do find that people that use strawman arguments do so because they can't counter your arguments fairly, so they make things up, which you never said, and attack those statements. People that behave this way usually repeat the behavior as a matter of recourse, that's why I find discussions with people like you to be pointless.

It's interesting to observe the regulars handle the pieces on thr sticky board surface different than Anna, whom I can only presume is used to pieces that slide on the board. Just a small thing, but it's very prevalent.
