Levy just spawns there

[@carlkligerman1981]

Danya is an absolute monster at bullet. Hard to understand why it doesn’t translate to longer time formats, is it about longer term thinking, calculation and evaluation? I mean he smashed one of the best players on the planet right there!

[@TSMC123]

Classical chess is about coming up with deep and complex ideas and strategies. Speed chess is about not blundering tactics in time scramble. For chess enthusiasts who treat the game as an art, they prefer classical. For most casual fans speed chess is more thrilling.

[@raulvalgar1999]

the tricks in bullet work because the players don't have enough time to figure them out.

[@liljackypaper]

I mean he's a GM so let's not act like he's a slouch in classical

[@wise_old_man]

i mean he's still 2600+ in classical

[@niranjanrajesh1058]

@@Corteum mate they say its hard to understand and then they literally answer it in their next sentence. Not at all hard to unferstand,they are two totally dofferent world

[@andreaspernadi1121]

9:18 the most forcing draw offers from Danya I ever see, and its also one of the most wholesome lol

[@mattkim96]

With 1 second increment, Fabi has a pretty good shot. No increment I’m kinda doubtful.

[@mayurdave6632]

The vibes in that room were so chill

[@tehaaronjelly5473]

This looks like the most fun chess gathering of all time.

[@kadelchess42]

This is the best chess content one could ask for! I mean all these amazing people in one room just playing chess and vibing, that’s so great

[@anday7421]

It's nice to see them all having a good time together. And over the board bullet is wild, I'm not even going to pretend that I can follow it. It's absolutely mind-blowing that people are capable of this!

[@maxfightmaster1338]

I always enjoy watching Daniel play. Wish he competed more often but to each their own. Hard to guess where he’d land if he started competing again. I think he could crack top ~30

[@liljackypaper]

Idk. He's really good but there are some absolute monsters in the top 30

[@maxfightmaster1338]

@@liljackypaper agreed. I used the “~” very generously lol. But I’m also talking about a fully dedicated full time competing Daniel.

[@sovjetonion6385]

Respectfully, even though hes one of the best bullet players in the world, that doesnt necessarily translate to otb. Take Andrew Tang for example who is (one of) the best hyper bullet players in the world and sits at ~2500 in classical. Classical and Blitz require rather different qualities, even 3+0 and 3+2 can be quite different at times. There is various interviews of Danya talking about taking a gap year prior to college to play chess and struggling with the stress and metal pressure playing chess full time puts on you, that alone might just be enough to put him out of top 30. At the end of the day there is no way of knowing, but being very strong at Blitz doesnt automatically make you a top 30 contender in classical.

[@ramachandra776]

"It kinds of looks like a knight but is a d**k" - Fabiano is not a fan of duck chess .🙂. Awesome performance from Danya .

[@Elipsis150]

Love Danya. He's such an amazing commentator. I always love whenever he's on the broadcast. He has such a way with words and does an amazing job describing what's going on and painting a picture for listeners.

[@georgemarsh8095]

This is god tier chess content.

[@mouadovic]

Danya deserves that Super GM title

[@felixliang7558]

If he really focused on it he could def at least cross 2700. You can't tell me if he couldn't get it and Jeffrey Xiong could

[@nicebite3768]

He is a super gm

[@badereric]

@@nicebite3768 Lmao, who told you that?

[@applehead2004mj]

no

[@skilltestingman]

@@badereric Super GM is not an official title.

[@sheikmanzoor5003]

Dany playing duck chess ... "" The duck seems like a jerk"". 😂

[@MasonRVs]

Anybody else thinking that it’s quite a disadvantage to have the clock to your left when you are right handed? So much easier for Danya to get a rhythm.

[@IOnlyBlunder]

Love watching OTB bullet

[@liljackypaper]

Personally I prefer watching OTB blitz. Bullet is just a little too fast for me to try and actually follow the moves

[@amroulouay6819]

Do you mean chess IRL?

[@hyoubuza4349]

Can we get a video of Eric's duck chess match with Danny?

[@TheMg49]

Impressive and entertaining. That Naroditsky fella is pretty good.

[@tonyfortune346]

Let's go Danya!!! Absolute beast at bullet.

[@fore101]

A lot of talent in that room

[@FongYukYu]

Omg this series is so much fun! Whomever came up with this idea needs a raise ❤😂

[@Gamer-zk3sy]

What on earth is levy doing?

[@vanshshah23]

😆

[@user-bk3nb8ew2k]

Hey Gotham is also here love to see❤

[@anuragaggarwal9896]

Levy sacrifices the contenttttttttttt.........

[@Bf7]

at 14:25 you can see (and hear!) Eric saying "woow" in real life ;-)

[@abdulazizxonaxmadxojayev2212]

What a show. Amazing 👍👍👍

[@liljackypaper]

Danya is a beast

[@ShahiburME]

Why danya doesn't play in world blitz championship?

[@osmanposao]

omg, i fought they gonna broke the clock. exactly! let's play a duck!

[@sqttttt]

aha my favorite chess player and my favorite chess teacher. me happy.

[@fitrideshita]

And then you have Hikaru Nakamura 9-1-ing Danya in Bullet - if not for the mouse slip he would adopted Danya. Crazy!!

[@Engr.Strang3]

What time control are they playing.. 1+0 or 1+1?

[@liljackypaper]

1+0

[@illmill3639]

nemsko just fine thats all. lol

[@getchess258]

Wow amazing play end up draw❤

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Cool!!! Great upload thx!!!

[@emiljohann88]

If your good at chess i think bullet is more fun. More action.

[@maxdemontbron9720]

how did they get so many famous chess youtubers in one room

[@garrydavtyan8272]

Couldn't do the same with nakamura

[@dimitrikorsakov2570]

There's such a stark contrast between how Nemo presents herself on social media vs how she seems in person. Social media = bad bitch, IRL = sweet, nice girl, but I suspect she's not as innocent and nice as she seems, what with the whole giving her boyfriend the supposedly random prize.

[@murmol444]

1:42 Danny Rensch is speaking Russian?

[@applehead2004mj]

apparently Levi or Danya taught him to speak Russian a little)

[@whatlez]

Daniel just so you know, no one likes the suns

[@ActualLivingHuman]

Team Rebecca Harris All Daaaaaayyyyy!!!!!

[@nagoshi01]

I think it's implied that Eric is filiming

Yo to be in this room

[@ericdufresne6991]

I don’t see the point of going so fast… like it’s like the game has no room for improvement… it doesn’t even look like fun to play anymore.

[@6lackhat]

Naroditsky jumps Fabi, nice fluke lolz.

[@pushkar260]

Don't know about that... But he def won't be able to defeat GOAT

[@Philson]

Danya is good, but Tang is better online.
