Check out Danya's channels! YT: kzbin.info/door/HP9CdeguNUI-_nBv_UXBhw Twitch: www.twitch.tv/gmnaroditsky I had to get some time odds in here to make it a competitive match! GGs & of course a special shoutout to thebrad777 who is a big supporter of both of our channels. Pls no copystrikerino - Aman

[@jashepoon]

Danya: "he should be 3000+ bullet, obviously" Aman: *resigns*

[@Omar_Merican]

aman needs more recognition rating-wise! 💪 ...good on danya that he mentioned that!

[@felixliang7558]

Danya adopts 3000 bullet players for breakfast

[@jashepoon]

@@felixliang7558 Brandon Jacobson sweating right now

[@stanhirt]

yeah that was kinda bad moment

[@Daniele.Rossini]

Well to be fair it was forced mate so 😅... But Danya is still right, Aman put up a hell of a fight in this match, going even up on the match at one point!

[@makermake295]

Imagine being thebrad throwing around $1.5k casually just to watch streamers play each other. Bare in mind he does this a lot. That man is rich af

[@SwiFTDBL]

Obviously a baller, I’ve seen dudes like that in many communities on twitch where they just donate thousands and thousands. Either MFs are rich or they goin into credit card debt lmao

[@jeremiahkermin4837]

Danya-Hambo is just bound to be insanely entertaining

[@ClarkPotter]

Why?

[@MrSwift-od2xz]

@@ClarkPotter Aman is underrated and in anything less than 1 min anyone good can beat anyone better that's why its a good match up but I will say Danya is on the totally different level if this was a longer time control Danya would have won convincingly.

[@tele-marmotte]

Thank you thebrad for making this happen. GG gentlemen !

[@frederickroy7039]

Damn these guys are good ... Daniel's speed is out of this world.

[@JoeARedHawk275]

A lot of times Hikaru plays Danya in bullet, he keeps mentioning that he is nervous. I can see why, Danya is hyper aggressive lmao and has a demonic speed. I got nervous watching Aman play him lmao. However, I think with the amount of pre moves that Danya does, sometimes it would be safe to go for trickier moves, but Aman has a safer playing style.

[@TDOLLA]

Danya is INSANE and then it shows how good Hikaru is at bullet because Danya constantly talks about how Hikaru moves and plays like a machine and is so hard to take down even from a winning position after the opening… It’s like one machine complimenting another slightly better machine lol

[@saryjou2793]

When your rating is 3000+ 11:11 Danya:"everybody looks at Aman's rating thiks he is bad" Aman's rating: 2884 Are you guys kidding me!!

[@Ism0Lait3la]

Yea because Aman is easily 3k+ bullet

[@dannytran1587]

because people under 3000 bullet aren’t considered to be elite bullet players. daniel thinks aman is an elite bullet player who’s rating is severely underrated.

[@M-F-H]

DN is not just 3000+, but 3200+. 200 points is huge, even more at that level ...

[@M-F-H]

@@Ism0Lait3la yes I agree

TheChad

[@ericbonow4809]

The Brad the Chad. Thanks for putting this together!

[@RaymondBCrisp]

While I'm truly impressed at how fast these guys play, I struggle to find enjoyment watching chess in this format for very long. It's so beyond my puny understanding of the game, that aside from the mad respect for the fact they can think and react this fast, it just goes way over my head. I like the slower format games, where I might actually learn something from it I guess is what I'm trying to say.

[@brandonfahlberg9678]

Agreed, especially because both players are GMs, so I don't get understand any of it. My favorite is blitz speedruns, because they have time to talk about their moves, don't need to concentrate, and because their opponents are making moves I understand.

[@edincuric3873]

I guess it's a question of taste. Watching GMs play each other doesn't necessarily help amateurs improve their game. Of course there are some openings, tricks and traps you could adapt, but generally their technique is way too advanced to constantly catch on. Bullet Imo sets the standard to an "easier" level to comprehend (for me), if you have the possibility to pause the video every now and then. Because they're playing more of an reactive chess game (like amateurs also do in rapids) or are following very distinct plans instead of thinkin 10 moves ahead.

[@RaymondBCrisp]

@@edincuric3873 Yeah, I can see that. I do catch some tricks from watching these games though, but it requires a LOT of pausing.

[@snes09]

I can see your point, but for me it's fun to watch for the brutal traps or mates these games can offer.

[@graefus]

Well there is more to a game than learning. You can watch and enjoy someone who is a craftsman in what he does (on any kind of sport or art or whatever). We will never be as good as magnus but we still watch him play.

[@Narratick]

My two favorite chess content creators battling it out. Amazing

[@tukriko]

"everybody who just look at his rating thinking he is bad..." Yes Danya, that is exactly what I think about 2880 rated player

[@mattrobinson3947]

Hahaha exactly what I was thinking

[@LevelofClarity]

Aman! This was awesome to watch. Daniel Naroditsky is one of the most skilled players in the world and Aman just stayed right with him. Excellent going, Aman. Keep up the great playing and the great content.

[@yorickstrangefield2976]

In online bullet he's maybe in the Top 5. In OTB chess he's in the Top 175.

[@lambchu6459]

Really good vid. Thanks TheBrad! Also appreciate the editors showing both sides of the battle

[@kotoamatsukami_5832]

To be honest, i didn't expect such a great match. I thought Danya would dominate. Aman's a beast

[@chessgains8075]

yeah I thought the same. Was closer then expected

[@ernestyunardi7454]

1min vs 40sec gives slight advantage to Aman though

[@chessgains8075]

@@ernestyunardi7454 it's a pretty big advantage. But we still thought Danya would dominate more

How is that even possible?

[@brimmed]

how is the brad so rich? i always wonder who these guys are giving 100 subs regularly or donating $1000 regularly etc

[@loafes1352]

Usually made bank from crypto and/or stock options. I know the dad definitely atleast somewhat in to crypto

[@VVeZoX]

$5k or $1500 isn’t that much when you’re wealthy. it’s all perspective

Cheers to the brahs for not only streaming the coolest chess content, but also competing at the highest level and doing really well.

[@Daniele.Rossini]

If you think that Danya can hang with Magnus and Hikaru, who are undoubtedly the best of the best in blitz and bullet, and Aman, even with 20 seconds odds, can hang with him, says a lot of how strong Aman is, and Danya recognizes too! Maybe in the future can we see a match like this Danya 50 seconds against Eric 1 minute? 🤔

[@cosmic5789]

Honestly that might favor Eric. He’s very strong in bullet. Maybe even 55 danya to 1 minute eric

[@VVeZoX]

Eric is stronger than Aman so 20 second odds might be too much. Either way Danya is just too damn good

[@Daniele.Rossini]

@@VVeZoX yeah thats why i said to cut off 10 seconds from Danya's odds. @Cosmic i don't know i feel like in a regular match Danya would beat Eric 70% to 30% consistently. So 10 seconds should be fair to me!

[@flowersmarc]

I been waiting for this match

[@K1NETIX1983]

That was so fun to watch, great match odds!

[@AmongUsAcademy]

Why is the online discrepancy so large? When Amans FIDE blitz rating = 2552 Daniel’s FIDE blitz rating = 2608

[@phantomfish3555]

Here some that i can list: 1. Different amount of match in either location. (You can play online match basically every time while FIDE only when there are matches set up or tournament) 2. Different way to count rating. (You can search this online, my comment got deleted of the link) 3. Different amount of player based.

[@badereric]

@@phantomfish3555 also the biggest difference is that bullet is still significantly faster than blitz. so two players of similar blitz strength don't necessarily have to be of similar bullet strength

[@phantomfish3555]

@@badereric yep, that rule also applied to rapid and classical.

[@DarkSideChess]

can't premove in live blitz.

[@Wird97]

Because rating is not necessarily a perfect representation of skill, especially after 2 years of no otb tournaments

[@jashepoon]

I don't dislike the music, but hearing the same 5 6 tracks over and over again does get a lil stale

[@Anzuo]

I think he has copyrighted music in twitch so this is the placeholder KZbin music

[@jashepoon]

@@Anzuo right, but unless they have some kind of deal with Martin K4rma, there's no reason not to vary the music. I personally miss some of the old techno. If they wanted to advertise him, I think by now every (KZbin) fan has heard him multiple times

The amount of calculation they can do in 1 min is more than what I can manage in 10+min

[@goat2636]

Daniel turned on the “God’s mode”

[@ch.h.5532]

Hey Aman, I have an idea. What about "Handicap Chess" against lower rated Players? You play like 5 min Blitz and every 5 moves you get a new challange to deal with like "no pawn moves in the next 5 moves" or "only move forward the next 5 moves", something like this. We had an IM in our chess club to play a match like this against us and it was fun (the opponent doesnt know what you have to do, so that makes it a bit more spicy). What do u think?

[@electorofsaxony7646]

Epic effort.

[@davidrobertson1980]

Accidentally had this video start in 1.25 speed and thought how the F do you guys move so fast? LOLOLOL then before the last 2 games I realized and made it normal and what seemed then to be TAME hit breakneck pretty quickly :D Great vid guys! Well done Aman
