Taxes must be ridiculous in Norway, or they charge heavily so there aren’t too many people waiting for a board, because those people love to drink their beer. Who can afford it, though? Wow.

@@HQBergeron Taxes? Well, it's 25% VAT, but there's also an alcohol fee, which depends on how much alcohol it is. I think beer, probably like 2$ per liter. She was drinking 0.5l, so it would just add 1$ to it. VAT would be like 2.75$. So let's say it really cost 8$. The real expense here is the location and the people working there.

Absolutely love the format. WOW! a great lesson learned. Chess Princess.

I think the line "I work for Magnus" is a top tier pick up line in the chess world. During editing is when she came up with that, "here's something I have never told anyone in the world, if you see me looking at my opponent like a love sick school girl it just means I am confident in my position on the board." Ummm ok. She knows we watch her play all the time right? Wouldn't we have noticed that before, or has she never been confident in a game before? Hahaha I won't bring up the length of the handshake at the end, or ask if that's foreplay in the Chess world. I will just stay silent. 😁

The king's gambit, Anna variation

Thanks for the amusing videos, it's inspired me to start playing chess (albeit badly) again after probably 3 decades of not

It's a great lesson! It's so easy for the game to just turn around like that. Thanks!

Anna, the $12 beer, alcohol affect, the music, you're staring at the young man and your attraction to him affected your game. So obvious 😂

Anna's biggest weakness in the game was the undeveloped bishop that was blocking the connecting of the rooks. From earlier on I thought this was going to cost her. Her checkmate would not have happened with connected rooks.

This is my favorite bar! Went here during my abroad term in college.

Magnus Carlsen's DJ??? Is that a chess term? I looked it up and couldn't find a definition. Is it a Norwegian term? Does Magnus have a personal DJ (disc jockey) in the usual meaning who plays music for him?

You can be god tier good but if you don't respect the opponent it can flip in an instant.

This more closely resembles the scheveningen variation, one of my favorites, and very popular in the 80s and 90s.

I was watching the video and somehow I knew she would self-sabotage herself at the end to let him win and thus keeping him on a pedestal.

I just shared this link with my son with the following comment: I like to watch Anna Cramling's chess videos sometimes, not because I'm really following all the strategy closely, but because she's so cute. She's having such a good time, it is infectious. She's a very serious player, and yet she's extremely agreeable about it. It's charismatic chess. LOL. This is a video about a game she lost, but almost the entire game she is convinced she's going to destroy the guy. Very characteristicly of her, she is not only a super good sport about it but takes a kind of delight in her screw up. She knows how to laugh at herself. Very uplifting.

I wanted to see that game. I would’ve loved to see you guys play again.
