Swedish grandmaster reflects on her life in chess, how she learnt to play and came to be a professional. She also considers the whole question of women in chess.
She talked about Anna growing up with her bringing bringing Anna around with her to chess games and how it must've been hard for her. Now at least, it seems like Anna wouldn't have had it any other way, seeing as how successful she at this point. Hell, I only know about Pia because of Anna, but extremely grateful that I have now.

If anything, Anna's more successful and maybe happier (at LEAST on camera) then she might have otherwise been. And I'm sure she's extremely grateful to Pia for that. Honestly, Pia has become a lot more widely known since Anna started streaming and putting out videos which I'm thankful for because I might not have even known about her otherwise.

I like her trips into the parks, where she shows the variety of people who can and do enjoy this game. It is so refreshing after the stuffy cold war games between USA and Russia.

It is a sign to the world that a great way to support women's chess is to have daughters who listen to your wise counsel as a mother!! Further, it promotes a more intimate family. Anna simply adores Pia. Bless you Pia Cramling! She is anxious to become her Mama! How many young women in this world can do that!? The world needs you both dearly.

I am proud of both you and Anna as a Swedish person. I am 38 years old, has never played chess. But recently I struggled with pretty severe insomnia and one morning I stumbled upon Anna´s channel I just fell in love with the dynamic of your whole family, but mostly between you and Anna. That same night/morning I watched a rerun of a match you commented and was sold. I don´t know if I am ever going to start playing my self, but I truly, truly think that if there are anyone who can take chess to the next level in the Swedish society it is you and Anna. If you and her acted as live comments during a tournament, kind of like in the UFC follow more than one game at a time (couple of minutes in each at a time and switch back and forth) I could see tens of thousands watching live. It would be so awesome. I didn´t want to comment about looks, but can not help it, it is obvious where Anna got hers from. Juan has two beautiful ladies in his life. Lucky man.

Too, funny when Pia "laid down the law" to her husband when she told he could only try it in blitz not classical. I recommend watching any of Anne's videos it will alway put a smile on your face.

Problem with women who "accept" women only titles and women only tournaments as their queendom is that they most of them decide to stop improving once they reached the women Top 20, because they accept this as "their" role in the sport of chess. And it's so wrong, like inspiring movies like that with Beth Harmon show, like inspiring women like Judit Polgar show. Polgar decided not to accept women only titles and not to accept women only tournaments. She decided to continue improving and so she reached the overall Top 20. It felt so right to have a woman there at the top, beating the crap out of males on the chessboard.

No, she just said the women-only events are for women to feel more comfortable getting into the game (being the only women at a chess club can be a distraction - considering 90% of players are men) and making friends. Once the social confidence is built, then they can learn to enjoy the game and play men. However, the ratings for women-only events are lower. So the most serious of women would move on to compete in mixed gender events. They are not limited to women-only.

While I see your point, the argument could also be made that the brain is a muscle, just like any other part of the body that one can improve and grow (perhaps not in a "physical" sense, but improvement nonetheless). Another thing I would even consider is, for instance, the sport of BOXING (or all of martial arts), many well known fighters including the famous, Mike Tyson, have said that fighting is 90-99% a mental game and barely any real skills. I don't think we should underestimate the influence that chess has made in societies with and through expert individuals.

You know what's funny? If there would be a "men only" events in chess, then women would scream "DISCRIMINATION!", but at the same time they play "women only" events. I don't think that's fair or good. A man has to play much, much better than a professional woman player to earn the same money as her. If you are a male GM with ELO 2600 you barely make money with chess. But when you are a female GM with ELO 2600 you can make tons of money and live from chess very easily, probably become the women's world champion. I wonder what will happen if some male super GM with ELO 2650+ will come out as trans and will have a sex change from male to female. Then this trans woman will probably be the strongest female player in the entire world instantly. Before the sex change "(s)he" could barely make any money with chess, but after the sex change the trans woman could make tons of money, just because of sex change. This shows how stupid and unfair it is to differentiate between men and women in chess. I simply hope that more women will get to super GM level with ELO 2700+ soon and maybe at some point in the future a woman will beat everyone else, especially all men, and become the first world champion in chess. Since chess does not require physical strength, I can't see that women have a disadvantage in chess and I can't see why there is "only women" events/titles. Unfair, wrong, discriminatory. Women should learn to play stronger and put more effort in their chess at the professional level. Then we will see 2700+ ELO female players again (after Polgar).
@whocares_bear

A WGM is a lower rating than a GM. So it's disadvantageous of a woman to ONLY compete in woman-only events. Judit Polgar refused to play in them. I think the women-only events are just to build social confidence in women so that they don't start out being the only one at a sausage party. lol
