I love the dynamic. Pia is the most calm, soothing person ever. Anna is the most energetic, bubbly person ever.
And Pia, as always, thanks for the wealth of knowledge that you share.

imagine anna having kids and they call pia grandmaster instead of grandma

I remember when Pia played with Queen odds on a site called Gamecolony she would just demolish their top players (1800-1900), I've played against Pia, Bellon and Anna. Pia is cautious, ultra-solid that never missed tactics and always played some sort of sicilian taimanov and Bellon was like a Fire-storm that just made you feel like on a receiving end of a Morphy Miniature when I played Anna she must've been like 8/9 and I was around 1900 and she didn't fall for any of my tricks and I lost :/ Fast forward 10years later I'm a FIDE master and ABC is an international celebrity how time flies...

A smart and calm Grand Master with her energetic, charismatic and not less smart daughter. The perfect tandem to take chess lessons with. Keep it up, Anna and Pia!^^

Thank you, Anna and Pia, for the amazing stream. Italian was my main opening when I was a teenager. You have brought up so many memories. Pia is a lovely teacher. Thank you so much again.

I love how the styles match the personalities….Grandmaster Pia’s Italian Game is so calm and smooth..

[ZeffAU]

It is just mind boggling how easily Pia slips back and forward through positions, already knows the outcome of every variation

[mertfelin]

Always a pleasure to watch Pias analysis ;)

[egregiouslytalented]

Its amazing that through youtube i can get a Lesson from a grandmaster for absolutely zero cost thanks guys

[truthpopup]

Anna has matured so much in 3 years, while Pia has not changed noticeably.

[jackhenderson]

I could watch videos of your mum all day, the way she explains things is unbeaten. Would love her to be my coach 🤣

[josephglass]

This is gold! More Pia masterclasses please!!

[unauthorized]

Thank you Grandmaster Cramling. The best Chess instruction I’ve found on You Tube

[stargazer]

Excellent instruction. The first 3 moves on each side were explained to beginners, but the rest was very instructive to intermediate players.

[joseguerrero]

A master class for my favorite opening?? Yes please ☺️ I always try and get the evans gambit 🙃

[heliothewizard]

Wow Pia has classes! This is old but it just found my feed haha

[joakimquensel]

Very good lesson thank you but the move knight f3 (4:40) opens up for the fried liver attack (knight g5). I know there's a defence for this where black comes out fine but quite tricky for a beginner (and even intermediate) player with a lot of room for fatal mistakes. So I wish you would have covered this (the fried liver defence)!

[misssayed]

Honestly I love your stuff but I REALLY love when your mum teaches it really makes sense to me

[orlandoluispardolazo]

Hi, Pia. I remember you from Cuba. Nice to meet you again!

[Mike-uzhy]

she is very relaxing to listen to, such a lovely accent
