Is Anna Cramling Actually Good At Chess?

I faced Anna Cramling in the Round 1 of Botez Chess Camp. It was such a stressful game. Did not help that I have spent the whole night prior to it preparing against The Cow… Make sure to check out the refutation of it here, you need to know how to react on it:

Trying a new format in this recap – analysing the game with my opponent together on the real board, WITHOUT looking at the engine! So apologies if some lines we look at do not make sense 🙂

Let me know what you think about this format in the comments! Happy watching 🙂

    this is one of the most entertaining matchups i've ever seen with the masterful psychological plays and chess plays lol

    Anna's sincerity and laughter — is what I like most. Even if she is not as strong player as Dina but she is so cute.

    .. anyone can CLEARLY so you are a lesbian. Good for you! So proud to bring the GAY FLAG to Chess. Thank you

    How many times "Ya" "ya" spoken…can anyone count😂😅

    Anna is a good beginner but her mother is very good at chess.

    Two delightful, intelligent, fast talking people sharing their passion for chess. This was an enjoyable conversation to listen to.

    At 19:52, when Dina explains the theory of staying away from the table she should had said it was the Russian School of Chess rule 86. (86 being slang for disposing of someone)

    I think it's the pineapple shirt that brings her good luck 😂

    😂😂 LUCKY ESCAPE 35. Rf8 either wins the queen for the rook or mates in 2. 😅

    I really enjoy your videos and always learn some useful techniques from them. Thank you. I’m also trying to make some chess videos. I think it helps me practice my English and review the chess knowledge I’ve learned. I hope to become a GM someday. I often play bullet chess on Chesscom, and my chesscom rating is now over 2400.

    From a 12-year-old chess girl in China.❤❤❤❤❤

    I really enjoyed this video. It was interesting to find out how much of the game can be psychological even among experienced, top players. Great content!

    I was like..I was like ..I was like….WTF is that nonsense…Unwatchable.

    Anna's only real problem right now is that she will occasionally play a move that she "really likes" emotionally, even though it's unsound. She did not do that in this game, and her GM taught instincts stood her in good stead, such as with looking first at grabbing the opposition at 23:57.

    Also, Dina spent the night prepping against an opening that Anna knows is a meme opening and doesn't play seriously, while Anna spent the night sleeping while her GM mom prepped for her. Having a strong team helps too.

    There's a QUESTION UN-ANSWERED!!!!!!! HAVE DINA PLAYED AGAINST PIA??

    I love the analyzing but you spoke soooooo fast 😀 but that is the result because both of you love and know the game so much I guess

    So crazy, Dina remembers all the moves in detail. I cant even remember what my wife told me 5 min ago.

    These two are a great duo. Because Anna is the nicest person in chess and Dina is … Dina.

    It was nice to see two totally different personalities come together and enjoy a chess match. Nice content.

    I loved watching the emotion and loved the honest discussion!

    Anna will end up the highest rated out of all these competitors in 10 years. She has little ego and is so calm.

    Dina has the better fashion <3 Hawaii shirts

    I wish someone looked at me the way Anna looks at Dina.

    I think this was a therapy session for Anna 😂

    Dina! I’m a new subscriber to you! Popped around many of your videos and shorts….your funny! Very shape mind too….I’m happy to be following your content now. BEAT EVERYONE MERCILESSLY!!!! 🙂

    Of course Anna is good at chess. I think that if she actually focused on playing she could be IM before 25 🙂 But I can't see the will in her to actually do it. The potential is there though. She just needs to do the work 😛

    Amazing content, we need more of this. I would love seeing this for all your games, and then I remember what you said on live chat. You and Jules would never talk about that game ever again. 😢

    But, I'm also wondering if you have heard of this strange consept called sleep? It's said it is good for you, you should try it some time.

    It’s impossible to play Anna chess without underestimating her

    As a pineapple farmer, pineapples are cool.

    Dina begins to draw 😆 Anna will be much better near future

    Love ya but those pieces could you guys just kiss. With respect. Anna is cool.

    Love watching 2 great chess players reviewing their game, it’s so insightful and interesting. Thank you Dina for the content! You both are amazing chess players!!!

    The game was excellent as entertainment; so much emotion. I hope you can do a rematch at Botez Chess Camp 2025 although it would be better if it were the last game of the tournament, not the first. Definitely a 'Clash of the Titans' event.

    Very nice game, very swingy. And it is so much fun to also hear about the psychology behind it!

    You guys are great together because Dina is like the dark, trash talking bad guy and Anna is the bubbly, sweet nice guy, which makes it fun to watch the interaction between the different styles. That’s not a knock on either of you because I can tell you are a lovely, fun person Dina and Anna is a tough serious chess player. You both have created great “content characters” of yourselves and I watch both of you on YouTube.

    You are both incredible players, you two have me loving this game again. Brilliant analysis Dina and Anna!

    2 wonderful ladies ! 🌟

    May the King of kings bless you ! 🙏🏻

    This was such an amazing chess analysis between two of my favourite chess creators.

    If you do a monetized 12 hours version of the segment 0:13 to 0:14 i'm sure you would make a lot of money 😏.

    I loved this match, thank you Dina & Anna ❤. I love you both.
