So the fellow looked terrified when he saw you winning because he thought he would have to keep his gift promise? LOL!
The cow is overpowered. It's wild!
Congrats! Hikaru gave this game a nod.
Wow – it is so interesting to see this perspective and how you think through different options and anticipate the chain of moves that would follow.
Absolutely remarkable event! The cow 🐄 made its maiden voyage into classical tournament play to defeat its creator in the hands of a grandmaster. I think it’s always best to play against the board and not the opponent. Don’t be fooled by an opponent’s apparent shows of emotion. They are Jedi mind tricks.
I mean, you played against Platon! No chance… 😂
Ppl have been doing that for yrs, including myself. Stop, everything in human history has been done
The opponent knows that Anna is classically trained and well versed in theory, so using the cow opening actually is kind of genius move actually. By moving it away from prepared openings, you lead the opponent down the "dark forest", a place where they aren't well prepared and must rely on instinct. The cow is really good at that because it is so far off regular bases there is no transpositions or just game experience. Which is why Anna can do it to other players when she plays it and wins, unfortunately the tables were turned on her.
Anna : "I was thinking what my mother would do?"
Also Anna: ends up playing aggressive and tactical like her dad
merry christmas everyone
Well played moo
Good luck
This was such a high-level trolling.
Can you talk about Hikaru's reaction?
You counter the cow with the hippo. Move up all your pawns. Don't sting Ferdinand.
Platon is an instant chess legend for playing the cow. Also a very intelligent decision by him as it's a free roll for some good things happening for him in the future.
10:25 When Placon is looking distressed, you need to remember he is a professional poker player as well as a chess GM. Those are fake tells he's firing off at you there. It doesn't work in online chess or online poker, but is definitely a weapon in head to head real life games.
See, the COW is a legitimate chess move. You'll need to learn to defend it. It will not be the last time someone uses it against you. Chess Princess
Mooooooooo!
It's just one game. Now you're ready to show the others what Anna has when it comes to chess. Watch your time please. Chess Princess
it will be funny if all the GMs anna plays against are going to use the cow opening on her… 😂
Exactly right… that's why he's the GM. If I were to play you, I would just have to say… "That's why you're you and I'm me". Greetings from South Carolina. And thanks to Platon for playing The Cow.
Bro Anna's mom so proud of seem the guy using Anna's opening. Anna you should find go more against your open opening, so when ppl try to use it against you, yo can beat them easily.
What a rizz, bro 😂!!!!!!
You are literally in real life beth harmon
I think it's a massive compliment 😊 grand masters are studying your work that's a really good sign
How to flirt with Anna done right
This is one of the most interesting games I've ever seen.
What an amazing and entertaining video! Can’t wait for the next games!!!
You and Will Taylor Chess are my chess favorites.
Hikaru made a video about this game! LOL
Beware the Ides of March.
i have a remark when the anna cramling match is broadcast live, because when it is broadcast there are not two boards on the screen, one for analyzing possible moves, what pia is doing, and the other for displaying the current position, so the viewer knows the current position and can think for himself what could be played
That is too funny, I love it.
Good luck!
Not gonna lie, I would've played for that sacrifice, too! GMs are just too strong 😂 nice effort!
Well, only one thing to do now. Come up with the best strategy to beat your own opening.
the question is is Galperin hitting on Anna with this gigachad move…or is his love only platonic? 😛
My bday is history🎉
It seems to me you were both winners and a great complement that he played the cow and possibly he wanted to give you the complement for having the courage to announce a new opening even though you risked and have experienced some ridicule from those who know better. Complements to him for playing it and yes if the opening gains popularity he has received the reward as being the first GM to support it/you. It seems he invested in it/you even if this wasn't his motive.
Those nails ana.. i like it 😏

Obviously playing it as a meme because he's playing against you , it's not that deep 😂😂
Great video. Best of luck for the rest of the tournament!
och Anna!
The cow theory 🐮
Poor Pia when she realised she should have prepared Anna for this.
15:10 thats why he is grandmaster and u are wfm
Time management again….
Awesome job awesome video great attitude always so positive
