Anna Cramling Hangs a Queen

[SpacewardJarl]

And it was in this position where Anna Cramling strategically attempted to sacrifice her queen, which was swiftly ignored as the entire plan was seen by Gotham Sub. Hats off to him.

[dylan]

I just assumed it was a brilliant sacrifice and spent about a minute looking for the trap that would punish White for accepting the queen.

[Crazmuss]

That is just common Botez gambit, no wonder Levi is not GM if he does not understands.

[dotaonly]

And Anna responded that "Yes, I hang my queen sometimes" (see Cramling clips).

When players like Anna Cramling can make a blunder like that, i feel better for the hundreds of blunders i do. :)

You’re telling me that a 2000 hung a queen on move 27

Best way to honor Alexandra's birthday.

I could not have taken that queen, either. Anna is just so sweet and wholesome.

You are telling me that a

Woman FIDE Master hung a queen on move twenty-seven
Woman FIDE Master hung a queen on move twenty-seven
Anna’s 2080, and she hung a queen on twenty-seven
20— 2080, and she hung a queen on twenty-seven

Didn’t see the white queen
Couldn’t see the white queen
Didn’t check the white king

Hi Levy, love the clips. Just a small request- Try to include the link of the full streams/episodes in the description? It's easier to access them that way.

"need to look in the miror and pray to jesus" levy you always know what to say lmao levy just a punchline machine

[PsychInOz]

Hah, this one always gets me. The build up (is it an engine user?) is fantastic. Then there's the genuine excitement at the reveal - followed by the immediate shocked expression after connecting it to the queen blunder.


Had mentioned it earlier at the end of a longish comment, so props to Levy for reading!

[khoiphuonganh]

Gotham Sub should be a GM, he declined the Botez gambit

[legueu]

He's not mad, just disappointed.

Botez Gambit Declined: Cramling variation

[noideawhatever]

Nah her opponent got 18 seconds left so she was trolling

[pnarimani]

This is why you never become a GM. This is Botez Gambit. One of the most nuanced and complex gambits in the world.

23rd day of translating Levy's titles into Neapolitan:"Anna Cramling lasc a regin in pres"
