Adopt-a-Danny ft. GM Anish Giri!

[@Censeo]

Hikaru has adopted Eric Hansen. Eric has adopted Danny. So Hikaru is Danny's grandpa!

[@coosoorlog]

I feel like Anish was not in form here. He missed many critical drawing lines.

[@franciscussilalahi9381]

LOL

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

I don't care if adoption happened in the end or not, the way Danny tricked Anish into that threefold at 3:03:15 was absolutely epic. "Anish you just made the joke of a lifetime against yourself - even when you're winning you snatch a draw from it" LOL Danny is the real dad here.

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

@@devertz995 nah Giri won 33 games out of 36, thats a normal score against Danny . Chess is a game where 500 rating pts difference means the weaker side has basically no chance, thats one of the reasons why adoptions happen so often.

[@Peter-li5bc]

​@@devertz995 So what, Giri beats everyone here with his butt. It doesn't mean Adomas isn't right. If you think Giri beating him disqualifies his argument, you also disqualified all your own arguments.

@@mohamedzarif4473 I'm pretty sure that sometimes these compulsve repetitions may indicate some mental disorders. Hikaru is a weird dude. Just saying. I mean, he's entertaining for sure, but when the repetitions start, it's pretty cringey lol

[@aryamansingh7105]

1:06:00 is prophetic stuff from Danny with Anish streaming now

[@OutsidePawn]

very nice of Giri to have apologized at the end. Even though he didn't literally say it, I think we all know what the apology was really about. Danny as usual was fantastic. Being a gentleman and avoiding a really awkward moment.

[@the98thcent]

What was the apology for?

[@frozenmoon998]

Danny's best liner: *You and your GM logic*

[@cutiecutie8609]

2:30:11 disgusting promotion of their slow interface

[@cyruswang9354]

LMAO

[@grannywalter]

I remember one time for April fools day, lichess announced the new 0+0 time control, explaining how their instant premoves make it possible xD. Now that was a cool promo of the platform, a nice flex of their superior tech, and a hilarious joke all at the same time) Danny's attempt to trash lichess here was pretty weak lol

[@Ezek18-32]

2:30:40 wait, they make you lose time on premove on purpose? O_o that's so dumb...

[@JS-zb9vx]

Danny's baby-like laugh is the best :D

[@Inedits]

I just love when GM of this level go mad! Great show!! Anish is an acquired taste!

[@grannywalter]

I love how during the chennis joke, Danny keeps sneaking peeks at Anish just to make sure that he's being annoying enough hahaha

[@blueman333]

Wow now the GMs know xqc 🤤 1:31:04 Edit: he definitely knows xqc, nym and lot other streamers and took their name many times in the stream. Specificly at 1:52:04

[@adityavv96]

1:34:20 that’s how Anish draws all the time huh ! He thinks how the other player would play in that position and ends up playing like him , so it becomes a match of equals then and eventually draws .

[@trywiser]

LOL 3:06:30 Anish saying Danny knows his weakness, which is basically getting challenged and losing a little of his otherwise flawless temper :)

[@ratbat6156]

[@Vincentovich89]

Annoying how obvious it is that rensch let Anish adopt him at the very end...

[@gilgamesh5411]

I think people Underestimate how hard it is to play for three hours while talking and losing the games. of course he is going to play worse at the end

[@ScrewUGuysImGoingHam]

First to 10 draws wins!!

[@madushandissanayake96]

Danny loosing games intentionally

[@fellowjelte]

Danny brings fresh air to the broadcast, but Anish only tries to be funny in a negative way most of the time. Too bad. Great result though. Anish just didn't make it.

[@grannywalter]

Wesley was actually pretty hilarious, too. Whenever he didn't like his position he'd start saying stuff like "What else in new with you, Danny? How is the weather over there?" to distract him.

[@grannywalter]

I'm not a fan of Anish or most of his "jokes" either. But you've got to admit that him finding Danny's weakness and that weakness being chess was an epic burn)))

[@DannyColSpector]

Well, I thought Anish was absolutely hilarious.

[@Vedioviswritingservice]

This is pathetic. Rensch didn't even manage to score a single point or even half a point. Anish should have given him a minor piece odds.

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

Wtf are you talking about, Danny even managed to win a game and drew a couple. Watch the whole show before writing pathetic comments

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

@@devertz995 Giri won 33 out of 36 games, how is that 98%? are you pulling the numbers out of your a*s? Danny did very well for a retired IM, and Giris performance actually felt much worse than similarly rated MVL's or Wesley So's. Anyway these shows are made to provide entertainment and raise some money, not to show world class play. Putting any meaning in the results is completely pointless.

[@JM-xx3io]

to think Anish was invited in the Carlsen invitational just to be humiliated by Danny Rensch... This joker should not be invited in Rapid and Blitz events ever
