Anna Cramling
Anna Cramling is one of the most recognisable faces in modern chess, with over 2 million followers across her social media platforms. Through her content, Anna has helped redefine how people discover the game. With a natural mix of curiosity, humour, and competitive spirit, she has made chess feel welcoming and entertaining for millions – especially for those who might never have considered playing before.
At ChessParty, you’ll experience that same energy live. Anna will take part in a special exhibition match against Andrea Botez, bringing two of the most popular chess creators head-to-head on stage.
She will also join Pia Cramling and Judit Polgár for an on-stage conversation about women’s chess, recruitment, and the future of the game.
Throughout the weekend, Anna will be part of the festival atmosphere – playing, streaming, and interacting with the audience. Whether you’re meeting her for the first time or have followed her online for years, seeing her in person adds a completely different dimension.
Chess has always been part of Anna’s life. As the daughter of two Grandmasters, Pia Cramling and Juan Manuel Bellón López, she grew up surrounded by the game at the highest level. But rather than following a traditional path, she has carved out her own role – becoming a bridge between elite chess and a global, digital audience.
The result is a unique blend of high-level understanding and genuine accessibility, making Anna one of the most important ambassadors for chess today.
