My chess development happened before time controls with increments were a thing. Anna's chill in this video makes me wonder if the kids who've grown up with increments have their threat detectors wired different.

Old beginner chess player here. Tyvm to WFM Cramling for taking the time to share concrete & practical explanations for newbies like me! Hope she makes more content like this, and maybe considers bumping up the time control (maybe 10+5 or something) to allow more time to talk through ideas. Not lots of down-to-earth chess content out there like this!🙏

I love that you are speaking your thoughts as you are playing. You have a unique and easy to follow way of teaching. Thank you.

Ms. Anna Ive been watching your videos as I do several other favorites of mine. Ive been stuck under 800 FOREVER!!!! Thank you! I watched your video on 'Calculate' and I watched it several times. You're talking through the game I believe has 'busted' a wall down in my head. I started the day out at just under 800.........I am at 863 this evening. I worked all day too so I ve been taking a game here and there where time permits. Great work! you're doing.....thank you!

Thank you sooooooo much!! 🥰 Such an informative video. I've only ever played a couple family members my whole life(I'm 42) and never really delved into the deeper motives behind openings and placements. Just recently started playing against the computer for fun and have been enjoying it, but also struggling a little. My current "rating" is around 1100, so this video felt like it was for me 😁

Oh my gosh, hearing how you think out situations is so helpful! Thankyou for these videos!

This was a great video. Make more content like this, plz. Also, I strongly suggest you up the time control (or even explain your thought process on a later analisys), it seems that there are times in witch you cut your explanation short because of it. It would be great to explain if you see a tactic your oponent could have played and the thought process on it. Thx :D

Yes, very instructive so would hope series continues. Thanks Anna & looking forward to your next video.

I could watch vids like this all day. Doesn't get much more helpful than talking through the exact mistakes I am making and how to come up with better ideas.

Yes to 1600, yes to these videos being 4 games, yes to 12 more 1200 vids 😋😅

I started with a rating of 996. Since then, my rating has gone down. I mostly blame myself for playing at the end of the day when I'm super tired. I haven't played much at all in the past 32 years. My older brother taught me to play, but we didn't play a lot. I got very sick after that and I've been in hospital after hospital until about 2014. Now that I'm back to "normal" I'm trying to get back into the things I enjoyed when I was younger, like chess.

Hey there, if you haven't played much in a few decades you'll be shaking off a lot of rust. Which if you love chess will be great, as you're going to lose games. You'll improve through tactics/puzzles, playing and watching educational material. And whenever I'm losing a few, I always remember these content creators have lost thousands upon thousands of games to get where they are.
