    These "talking you through my thinking processes"-videos are always very interesting and instructional. Thank you!
  • @timothylunde
    She calculates too quickly for me sometimes, but...they made a rewind button. I think I learn more from Anna than anyone. Excellent communicator (and who doesn't love her mom and dad)

    Please do this style of video every week. I get more out of this than any other chess video. Great explainer.
  • Also important to note at 9:15 in the video that if Anna does not block/attack the diagonal then white has checkmate on g7. This illustrates my problem in identifying my opponent's best moves. I'm so focused on my own moves that i neglect to analyze my opponent's plan. We also must identify our opponent's checks, captures, threats, etc.
  • I am 71 and trying to become ok at chess. I have spent my career at being good at programming first and project management later and never had time to pursue this. There was racing cars on road courses and flying too. But now trying to learn chess. Anna is the best so far at getting me hopefully past my fear of failure to play real humans. Maybe because she learned from two grand masters and is good at remembering how they taught het, she is great at transferring that info on. Thank you.

    This is the best anna cramling video by far , perfect for beginners and despite the fact I'm intermediate there is still stuff I can take away from it
  • @webbphoto2
    I loved it! As a beginner chess player it really helps me! I'm 71 and just got a chess game for Christmas so I'm trying to fallow your videos and understand it all. I find it very interesting the thought pattern.
  • @efthorpe
    Anna, please do more of these type of videos. They are very enjoyable and at same time being very instructional. Thank you.
  • @BeefJimMurphy
    Anna is such a good teacher. Great video thank you for sharing!
  • @kmunson007
    Another incredibly valuable video. As it turns out, your ability to teach chess is one of your greatest gifts. Thank you.
  • Thank you! I'm still in the "trying not to blunder multiple times per game" phase of chess development (which I'm fine with as a casual). It leads to hilarious games where I had 6 blunders but still win LOL The other day I was like "ohh I have checkmate in 2 moves!!" and then I didn't see my opponent had checkmate in 1 lol. This checklist helps :) can't forget about my little king, gotta protect him
  • @Marvelmind_
    As an advanced player, I can say it was a very clear and instructionnal video. We definitely need more of this type of content in the future.
  • @nive4473
    Hi Anna, i am a beginner and this video was so helpful. I would like to see more videos like this or like the one 2 weeks ago where you told us what the opponent did wrong. I like it so much that you explain every move you do. It helps so much. Pls keep making these masterpieces. Greetings from Germany
  • Hi Anna! This was amazing and exactly what I've been looking for as I've stopped progressing at 500 and go no further. This has shown me the way. Thank you so much. More like this please.
  • @robnhood007
    This is great! I really wish there were more shorts like this on thought process. Do more please!
  • @UnknownAlius
    I loved the instructive commentary, Anna! I'm just starting out and I need to learn as much as possible and you help a ton! Thank you!
  • Super helpful for a novice-intermediate player like myself. Thanks Anna! This is my favourite format of video.
  • @ManusMagus
    Loved it, thank you! Please do more :-) the timing worked out really nicely, going through the mid game accentuating the main idea where it was most applicable, and then proving your prowess through an accelerated endgame was 👍👍
  • @DanBastin
    Great video concept. I like the idea of running through the short list on each move to try to find the best options. It did feel a little fast and frantic. I'd recommend maybe trying to play the game first then going through it with explanations after to give yourself more time to explain important decision points.
  • Det blir bara bättre o bättre! Tack Anna för en fantastisk youtubekanal. Mycket inspirerande!
