Noticed a lot of the 'talkers' only start talking when they notice how good their opponent is.

When guys feel threatened by a woman, they start giving her advice or complimenting her on what she's doing to make themselves seem like the more competent ones in the situation. It's a common tactic meant to shoot down a woman's confidence. Of course it rarely works, and ends up just being really irritating.

I hate when people do that. To start with, it's a power play--presuming that you're in a superior position, and deigning to offer "help". And if you win, he can claim it was because he helped you! Insurance. But then also, it injects doubt into the other player's mind--should I take his suggestion--putting myself into a somewhat submissive position, or not? And is there something he has spotted that I haven't yet, and he's hoping that I don't, and therefore distracting you from it by focusing your attention on the one move. Is there a consequence of this move that I haven't picked up on, that will bite me if I take it? Or is it that he *doesn't* want me to take that move, but as he is my opponent, he wants me to suspect the move and therefore is being contrarian, practicing some "reverse psychology"? Whatever the case--it causes me to overthink a move that I might have otherwise made quickly and more confidently, and it therefore causes me to burn off more time--perhaps a LOT more time--off the clock. And that might have been the whole plan from the beginning. And it's distracting. So just leave me to my thoughts, and we'll get along fine!

I'd say he was about 1800, maybe less. Might sound low but his style was typical of that kind of rating. He wins through bamboozling players by being tricky and forcing panic mistakes, but he was not solid and his game ended up falling apart (also typical of that rating).

I'd guess Tom was 2050-2075. He probably beats a lot of players using opening traps or midgame tactics, but your long-range tactical advantage was able to see what he was up to and defuse the attacks and create a solid and unstoppable counterattack.

@AnnaCramling Great breakdown. You honestly made things look so easy and explained things very well. Also, you made it really easy to understand everything being said 👍

You can tell he is more accustomed to winning than being challenged by stronger players. With bishop, queen lined up and the rook pointing down the h file you could see the confidence and he thought his black square bishop was either safe or would be key to a decisive early win. When plan A didn’t work it all started to crumble, allowing a pawn fork that was a victory of hope over judgement shows he isn’t good at changing the plan and defending under pressure.

I can't play chess, but I can feel its magic, which is very intimidating to me. I have absolutely no idea what is happening on the board, yet I love watching people play chess! It's like a profound conversation between two minds without words... a miraculous exchange occurring on another level between two beings.

12:20 Crucial moment. From this moment on, you took a decisive advantage. Beautiful and smart. Best regards from Mexico. 💚🤍❤ 🇲🇽

Mansplaining at its Best. You go Anna!

12:57 His ONLY option was Rd2 because Qxf2 was checkmate, or he was losing a bishop. He had to put pressure on your Queen. There was no other option.

I haven't played in quite some time. This was quite enjoyable. You both are good.

Nice one Anna. Sure, I would love to see the rest of your tournament.

You know he wouldn't be giving his opinion like that, "that's the best move you could make," if you were a dude.

Rule number 1 dude: STOP FREAKIN' TALKING!

Brilliant game. Really enjoyed it. Was really scared you were going to run out of time but you did real well.

I have never plYed chess but this is fascinating. I love how you are chipping his over inflated ego.

I think he lost the minute he sat down and saw her.

What he's actually thinking.. "OH God! I like her! I can't ask her out unless I win!! 😂"

@RobinHood70 I mean what young man wouldn't be enchanted by this lovely lady. My goal is to reach at least 1700 so I can sit down and play her, simply to talk to her 😅🤣🥰

@RobinHood70 Yeah, I myself hope to reach 1,500 rank, just to feel worthy enough to least sit at a table with her someday 😅 🤣🥰
