I like to imagine that her Dad moves slowly in everything he does and then goes rapid fire when he plays her in chess.

[joealonzo]

Anna: I'm one of the weaker players he's playing against.

99% of the chess world: I wish I was that weak.

13:12 I love how Dad mode enters even while on GM Mode.

"my bishop is terrible" dad gives biggest quietest head nod in existence

[nephisto]

It's cool how competitive he is. How fast he goes for the clock shows just how committed to winning he is. That's against his daughter. I wonder how he felt about playing in the higher stakes venues.

[agathor]

I always find it so wholesome after Anna plays her parents and asks questions after the matches and they always explain the position to her. Such a sweet family

[andreasberger]

Juan: wins 10 - 0
Anna: damn that's an adoption
Juan: what a coincidence

[zacharysherry]

Your dad's strength in chess always surprises me no matter how many times you show him off!

[bernie]

I can't imagine how amazing it must have been for Anna growing up. No wonder she's always smiling and laughing. What a life.

There should be a regular all-play-all family tournament, with Uncle Dan included. We could call it the Cramling family olympiad, or CRAMILIAD for short.

This is great. I remember playing scrabble with my dad (he was a scholar; I was a college drop out) and never winning a game until he was 80 and I was 47, He never gave me an inch. I loved every minute of the competition.

9:30 Anna - "What is going on here?"
What is going on is your Dad enjoying...and I mean THOROUGHLY enjoying spending time with his daughter. It's a true joy when our older kids still want to spend time with us.

[kai-uweheinz]

That was apart from the game such an insight into the father-daughter relationship and the sweetest Anna I’ve seen so far. God bless you!

[jabeesguerra]

Holy shit, Juan Manuel Bellon Lopez is your dad!? I could never forget how he ripped Georgiev Kiril with a pawn sac then queen sac, and your dad was like an underdog by 150 points! That game was featured in the ChessMaster software's built-in game collection. Fun times. :D

[davidchapamusicofficial]

Your dad is brilliant. I can only imagine the number of scenarios his brain processed during that match.

[JimmyDaGent]

Shoulda tried the scholars mate..lol no mercy for his daughter.

[MiD]

Your dad seems to be very warm person. Very enjoyable to watch games with him

[alwayscurious]

It's incredible how fast your dad's brain computes all his moves! Your parents are such beautiful humans! Love to you all :)

[snydergd]

It's so cool to see a friendly, caring, fun side of people like him who could easily come off as overly serious and focused. It's a refreshing video where people are just playing a game genuinely to spend time together and have fun - where they are not just focused on making content for the viewers the whole time.

I thought old folks were slow. Her Dad is super quick and does not need to really think at all. He knows way ahead of time...:)
