I love the dynamic. Pia is the most calm, soothing person ever. Anna is the most energetic, bubbly person ever. And Pia, as always, thanks for the wealth of knowledge that you share.
I remember when Pia played with Queen odds on a site called Gamecolony she would just demolish their top players (1800-1900), I've played against Pia, Bellon and Anna. Pia is cautious, ultra-solid that never missed tactics and always played some sort of sicilian taimanov and Bellon was like a Fire-storm that just made you feel like on a receiving end of a Morphy Miniature when I played Anna she must've been like 8/9 and I was around 1900 and she didn't fall for any of my tricks and I lost :/ Fast forward 10years later I'm a FIDE master and ABC is an international celebrity how time flies...

So strange so see half the comments from a few years ago be from masters
A smart and calm Grand Master with her energetic, charismatic and not less smart daughter. The perfect tandem to take chess lessons with. Keep it up, Anna and Pia!^^

She talks about how reserved she used to be which is surprising considering how outgoing she is now.
Thank you, Anna and Pia, for the amazing stream. Italian was my main opening when I was a teenager. You have brought up so many memories. Pia is a lovely teacher. Thank you so much again.
It is just mind boggling how easily Pia slips back and forward through positions, already knows the outcome of every variation
I could watch videos of your mum all day, the way she explains things is unbeaten. Would love her to be my coach 🤣
They are amazing!! Love to see you playing
Always a pleasure to watch Pias analysis ;)
Excellent instruction. The first 3 moves on each side were explained to beginners, but the rest was very instructive to intermediate players.
Thank you Grandmaster Cramling. The best Chess instruction I’ve found on You Tube
A master class for my favorite opening?? Yes please ☺️ I always try and get the evans gambit 🙃
Anna has matured so much in 3 years, while Pia has not changed noticeably.
I love how the styles match the personalities….Grandmaster Pia’s Italian Game is so calm and smooth..

Wow Pia has classes! This is old but it just found my feed haha
I dont understand alm Pia says but its a great explanation. Do this with another begginings please. Its like attending to an chess university.
So very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Very good lesson thank you but the move knight f3 (4:40) opens up for the fried liver attack (knight g5). I know there's a defence for this where black comes out fine but quite tricky for a beginner (and even intermediate) player with a lot of room for fatal mistakes. So I wish you would have covered this (the fried liver defence)!
Honestly I love your stuff but I REALLY love when your mum teaches it really makes sense to me
Great! I was waiting for this! Thank you Pia!
What a lovely treat this was! Many thanks.
Ver una clase magistral de este tipo dada por la Gran Maestra Pia, leer sobre su trayectoria, conocer la trayectoria del Gran Maestro Juan Manuel Bellon Lopez e imaginar sus clsase de entrenamiento dan una visión de cual será el exitoso futuro de la Maestra Anna
Its amazing that through youtube i can get a Lesson from a grandmaster for absolutely zero cost thanks guys
This is one of the best videos on your channel
Buen vídeo anna , sube una segunda parte ,saludos...
5:15 they won't defend the pawn, they will go for fried liver attack

Thank you for the class.. I live in an area where the closest club is like 2 hrs away. this helped alot to tidy my italian game. Love the vids and the streams too
Pia thank you for the lesson I’m trying to get better and your lesson was very helpful got to say your my Beth Harmon thank you again
Awesome vid dude! c
I remember a photo of Pia in hospital playing chess, she was pregnant in that moment. I don't remember the year
Not even joking I started a game after watching the video. first game I get black against the Nc3 mistake hahaha awesome thanks a lot !
Pia is so modest. What a nice lady.
Feel like all e4 e5 players below 1800-2000( potentially slightly above) should watch this video. Edit: I mean below that rating the knowledge gained here would spike your win rating, absolutely everyone could enjoy this gem of a lesson.
To me e5 is risky, compounding the advantage for white. The reason you play h6 like mama said is to make the Bishop commit to one side or the other.
she is very relaxing to listen to, such a lovely accent

I have this encyclopedia on chess, and in it's article on the Giuoco Piano. And it suggests it's not played by top players. But then people like Magnus have played it in tournaments. Not sure why the encyclopedia seems to have missed the mark. Maybe in the 1970s, people thought the opening was dead, but further study, possibly with computers said otherwise.
at minute 27 black goes for the same structure that white would have "blundered" on move 4. Night can take on e5 and then push pawn d3-d4 to fork the bishop and knight?
@abesimpson9331

wouldn't that be forking a pawn and a bishop? would just take with the pawn
Bring this back please.
So cool.
What lovely persons they are the Cramings !
This may sound weird, but i can see why Anna’s dad married Anna’s mom
Got something. Thanks
Holy cow, Anna I just realized how much your new hairstyle fits you so well! Like a different person you look great either way but dang what a difference
Pia is awesome.
Anna estás muy delgadita 😁 y me encanta tu entusiasmo 😊 las 2 estaban en cuartos contiguos? 😂 la hubieras invitado a tu cuarto 🤣 buen video, ayudará a mejorar mi juego 😉👍
nice
Pia is so sweet omg. I want her to be my mum, my grandma, my sister, and my best friend all in one.
After following these lines shown, i'm beating all these stupid tricks and traps :P. somebody tried to sac a horsey, but instantly hung his queen by moving it into my horse xD
Anna, so much better looking than the bottle blonde look. Great video, what a lovely mum.
what about early Ng5, threatening the f7 square ???

then if you plan to play against the liver attack study a possible line. Some times there are certain move orders like a6 to prevent a fried liver. Or stopping before placing the knight on f6

Anna looks so pretty here, natural. The buckets of makeup just spoil it.
👍
nice, from a less than 600 player who wins one out of five games.
I never see vienna game played with F4, theory has destroyed it?
I missed an analysis about the fried-liver attack
But how on earth am I gonna remember all that'? 😭😄
Wow, mom is good 😊
What?
Anna is beautiful without make up.
There's adverts every 2 moves - I'm off!
Sorry; Cramlings it is.

Can I subscribe to Pia?¿
Interesting. I'll have to watch later. I hate the Italian, never play it as white and always play the Rousseau gambit as black to try to escape it.

Too much theory? The Italian offers a very complex and rich middle game but also takes lot of practise to get it right.

So smart, beautiful and smokin' hot. And Anna is great too!😇😛
Not eccited since had heaphones on. Arghhh
Your mom is fantastic
Unfortunately the calm and down to earth vibe of GM Pia is totally destroyed by Anna’s jittery and loud demeanour
Nice but I prefer Anna’s simpler and more concise explanations and lessons.

She does add that they do it "when they want to be solid," specifically, not when the want a bracing game with attacking chances etc. It's a bit drawish but very secure. And a lot of classical OTB is pretty cautious, simply because all of the players are so good and are easily penalized for creative but dubious play.

"Rarely"? Checked some Database, 2700+ rating since 2019 and it's a little over 50% ..e5 vs the 10 other moves combined. Not what I would call rarely...

I don't agree at all. Do you have any idea how many openings and, within this openings, how many variations, one has to study with Black after 1.e4 e5? Why would you - an amateur - do that? Learn the King's Gambit, the Vienna, the Scotch and some gambits and then turn your attention to the Spanish, which you will see most of the time and which is a labyrinth. You can spend many thousands of hours on this. If you get as far as 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 (?) White can play 4. Ng5, start learning this opening, the two knight's defense, which does not give Black anything. Or he-she can play another series of moves such as 4.d3. In all of this, White dictates play. My approach is completely different: as a beginner or a player in the 1200 - 1900 range, learn one opening, stick to it and forget about GM evaluations. Your opening of choice might not be the 'best' but it is good enough and study middle games and endgames in the time you that you save memorizing variations that will turn out non-relevant for most of the time at your level of play anyway.

actually I disagree. Gm evaluations are great for learning. You tend to stick to the habits you already gained in playing a opening. If you start playing what the gm says you will memorize better lines and start seeing things. New players just get crushed and give up.
