Play the Queen's Gambit like WFM Anna Cramling (Stars of Chess Series)

Stars of Chess Series - WFM Anna Cramling

In this Stars of Chess Series we are covering fun openings of your favorite streamers, youtubers, and chess personalities. WFM Anna Cramling is a charming Swedish streamer and talented tactician, and many of us enjoy watching her chess journey as she climbs the ranks. She's also well known for her aggressive Queen's Gambit. She's got it all!

The Study - Play the Queen's Gambit like WFM Anna Cramling

The below study is the latest installment of my "Play like..." Interactive Lesson series which can be best enjoyed with the Lichess Tools browser extension installed. The idea of the study is to learn Cramling treatment of the Queen's Gambit with a spaced-repetition philosophy.

The study includes many of the 2100+ blitz games that Cramling has played in these lines up to move 20, which were downloaded, merged, and then I separated out the lines. In each chapter, I present a Cramling main line up to a certain point (typically when there's 10-20 games left in a particular line). After that, you are playing through her games in that line up to move 20. As you play through the games, you should be naturally internalizing the middle game plans.

Here is the study:

To get the most out of this study you should add the LichessTools browser extension. LichessTools allows you to play through all the games/variations in an interactive lesson chapter (rather than just the single main line). So if you decline to add LiChess Tools then you are only playing 10% of the study. Available here:
