Anna Cramling
Anna Cramling was born right into the world of chess, with a mother who is a former world number one and a father who is a five-time Spanish champion. However, Anna has firmly paved her own path. Today, she combines competing in elite tournaments worldwide with running one of the world’s largest digital chess platforms.
In her inspiring keynote, Anna takes us behind the scenes of her unique journey to the absolute top of the chess world. Having started playing at just three years old, she has since achieved a series of impressive milestones:
- Historic Olympiad Debut: Broke the Swedish record as the youngest female participant ever in the Chess Olympiad when she debuted in Baku in 2016, at just 14 years old.
- International Title: Earned the title of Woman FIDE Master (WFM) at age 15, the same year she reached her peak international rating of 2175.
- Innovator on the Board: Has revolutionized the sport and even developed her very own, officially recognized chess opening called “The Cow.”
By bringing the chessboard to Twitch and YouTube, Anna has also become one of the sport’s biggest global influencers, making chess accessible and entertaining for millions of followers.
“I usually say that I play my mother’s solid openings, but with my father’s aggressive and tactical style!” – Anna Cramling
