The REAL Difference Between A Grandmaster And A 2000 In Chess (Part 2)

This is part 2 of "The REAL Difference Between A Grandmaster and a 2000 In Chess" - In this video me and my mom GM Pia Cramling played out the exact same position to show people the difference between how a GM and a 2000 thinks in chess. The position was from a Magnus Carlsen game. We did this a few months ago and I wanted to do it again as many of you enjoyed it :)

Pia is so sweet. She'll invite you in to the living room, make you homemade lemonade and then crush your spirit. 🤣

[germanoscheller]

Anna please this type of content is absolutely perfect... analysing positions is a crucial element of chess for all levels of rating and this different perspectives are so instructive.

[aceme]

Anna, for the time: my plan is unstoppable!
Also Anna: wait...

[randomshadow]

I love how Anna is so proud of her mom guessing all of Magnus' next moves.

[lornakcindespire]

Wow, it was impressive how fast Pia managed to force the engine to concede pieces. Such a class in positional chess.

[calebwhiting]

Several big differences I notice with Pia:

* At the beginning she spent much more time evaluating the position.
* Once she had had thoroughly evaluated things from a positional perspective, she proceeded to calculate a large number of concrete lines. This let her blitz out a lot of follow-up moves.
* She plays the endgame effortlessly. Therefore she looked to take it to a slightly winning endgame as quickly as possible.

Anna went into a complex tactical line which computers will always calculate better than humans. Pia went for a simplified endgame that reduced the possibilities and meant she could match the calculation powrler of the engine (on its setting).

Pia really demonstrating her positional awareness here, I doubt Dad would have played it like this lol, we may have seen a more attacking game from him, similar to Anna's game. Great video!

[cix]

Pia is incredible, effortlessly breaking down the position at an instant and explaining it so poetically

[CR-bstl]

Literally have a grandmaster giving commentary on Magnus end game. Anna: yeah whatever let's just show this quickly. LET HER TALK! SHE'S A GENIUS

[igortseitkin]

This is an amazing way of teaching chess - talking through all your thought process!! Thanks for this video!!

[ThePepperfly]

Love how Anna is analyzing her mom. No problem following her thought process, very excited by it, and absorbing every bit of it. How fun!!

[deefstes]

This is just phenomenal content! I loved getting this glimpse into these great minds. The only thing additional that I would have loved to see was Pia analysing Anna's moves from earlier and see how well she predicted the computer's defensive lines which Anna missed.

[matt-lang]

I love your videos with your parents! It's so cool to see the differences in approach and your mom does a great job of explaining her thinking in each position.

[Erik_]

Yay another instructional video with Mom. Love these. Thanks!

[Homitu]

Such a good video breakdown! This solidifies my chess aspirations: I want to study and learn enough to get nearly as good as Anna, but I don't think I could ever become as good as either of her parents no matter how much practice and studying I do.

I also love how much joy you both found in the moves of this game. You adored your mom's analysis, finding it beautiful. Then your mom found Magnus' approach so elegant and beautiful it brought a huge smile to her face. It's amazing that such a simple game can provide such endless nuance and joy!

[louiscarrillo]

my god your mom analyzes fast and accurate. sharp intellect. a joy to try and learn from. deep insights.

[danlee]

Ok I have to pause this. I remember about 15 years ago, father's day, Pia was playing on gamecolony sitting there a stout 3000 destroying everyone in the lobby. And she was the kindest, warmest, most wonderful lady to me. So nice to see this video! Godbless her and her family! Happy Thanksgiving!

[aaronrendon]

that was probably the best 30minutes I've had in 2022!

love the excitement in both your voices for this game we adore so much! Thanks for the analysis & Happy Holidays to you all!!

I've been watching chess vids non-stop since the beginning of the pandemic and this was the best rating comparison I've seen - I thought your path followed the safest logic, your mom found the safest winning path, and Magnus used a narrow winning position to slam dunk on his opponent.
