I can see the logic of trading a rook for a bishop very early in the game. The rook is more an end game piece, particularly the Queen side rook if you plan to castle King side. Danya's Queen side rook moved just 3 times in the game and never left the back rank; not exactly an over active piece and one I'm sure he wouldn't have minded swapping out for that early bishop he traded.

[@QuantumHistorian]

Interesting point. I've heard Ben Finegold say that giving someone rook odds is easier than giving them bishop odds for that reason.

[@trafyknits9222]

This is how chess is truly meant to be played. Black took White completely out of boring theory and forced White to think on the fly. The chess world needs much more of this. Bobby Fischer hated chess in his later years because he correctly noted that it had become nothing more than brute memorization, rather than over-the-board thinking. This is an awesome game and should be a wake up call to stodgy theorists.

I‘m quite sure it‘s White taking Black out of theory here with a4 and Ra3 😅

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

How in any way is this cheating. It's strategically perhaps meant to sacrifice a late game piece, which does nothing early, and some games doesn't see play for a very strong minor piece which is usually a terror in many games, early, mid, and late game. It denies the dual bishop pair right from the bat. I'm guessing it could be powerful if you knew what you were leaving on the battlefield prior to using this.

[@Rizzycat1]

It’s a new opening and it’s repetitive nature will eventually be flagged statistically. The player is skilled at it and there is no learned move behavior to counter it at this speed level.

[@cameratool]

Danya is very skilled at 960 and I'd expect him to learn traps from the early games even with a short time control. Maybe a 70ish game match wasn't enough learning or tilt/fatigue was enough to offset learning.

Taking a rook with a bishop is dubious if files are not open, as is the case in the early opening. It requires a grind into an endgame to demonstrate the win, which is hard to do consistently in speed chess, even at this level between 2 fairly evenly matched players. Given that the score was 60/40, the only reason to ban the guy was to protect Danya's reputation.

It's a weird opening but Daniel threw the game with his bishop sac which was defended pretty easily. Not taking the rook with his bishop was incredibly suspicious though, as well as pretending to be Brazilian (VPN?).

What?? The only suspicious thing here is that you think he should have taken the rook. Are you like 1500 elo or what? I'm only 2200 so I'm not GM-level or anything, but it was pretty obvious to me he wasn't going to give up his bishop there. It was a trap. White wanted to give up the rook to get one of the bishops off the board, but black didn't take the bait, and rightfully so. Black would have lost their biggest advantage if they took the rook with the bishop there. They had no reason to accept that trade.

The game looked all over after 10 moves-to my untrained eye blacks recovery was highly suspicious. There must be some way of checking? I heard some guy callled Kramnik can detect cheaters. Let’s ask him.

@@epicchess2021 Today's Late Titled Tuesday. Round 11. Magnus v Hikaru. Hikaru gave Magnus mate in one, on purpose. Magnus refused to take it. What was that about?

Let's go Brandon!

[@RR-qf9re]

We all know engine chess when we see it

[@thegorn]

First! Viih_Sou is savage! Nice one (let's go Brandon!)

[@CheckmateSurvivor]

The first will be the last.

[@Joaquim1295]

Why Brandon has a brazilian account with a brazilian name: Vinicius Souza?

[@thegorn]

@@Joaquim1295 Because it's a smurf account, and smurfs are clean-shaven (except for Papa Smurf)

Danya is a terrible player

[@michaelbauers8800]

I am sure you are right. After all, he's not even in the top 100 players in the world, and is short of being a super GM by 50 points. I don't even know why such a patzer bothers to ever play chess again. Should be ashamed. I could beat him in chess...with a slight handicap where he removes a few pieces. By a few, I mean all of them except his king.

Wow This is a stockfish 17
