CRUSHING Bc4 with e6 | Sicilian: Grand Prix | The Sensei Speedrun | GM Naroditsky

[@josephsalmonte4995]

Danya in "no mercy" mode is brilliant to watch. An absolute killer. R.I.P to today's opponent 💀❣️😭🤣

[@jankenpons9391]

what an obnoxious opponent

[@endlessapexofficial]

Seriously. Wanted to reach through the computer and slap them

[@montreux82]

It’s insane how Danya is able to punish their opponents so hard with just one or two inaccurate moves from them. These kind of tactics blows my mind

[@hellopleychess3190]

no, it doesn't work like that. You're misusing the word "inaccurate", his opponent made a serious mistake(castling) after which he was able to win the bishop The inaccurate moves can be considered f4 or perhaps even Bc4

[@noThankyou-g5c]

@@hellopleychess3190 but danya himself said the position was fine until f4. so OPs comment makes sense

[@douggieharrison6913]

@@hellopleychess3190 what's your point? OP is saying that Danya's ability to crush someone after a single slightly bad move is insane. Dude literally made one book move and the rest were all best moves at a 99.9% accuracy.

[@jaakezzz_G]

@@hellopleychess3190 well the bishop c4 combined with f4 were the first inaccuracies that he noticed. Castling might even be considered a blunder. But Gonzalo's point is still true.

I've found it best to just not respond to those types of draw offers. Sometimes the opponent will just burn their clock waiting for an answer that isn't coming

[@minefieldtango5513]

At 6:56 you say "That is why you need an opening repertoire at this rating" but I think it's exactly the opposite.He's living proof that you don't need an opening repertoire to reach his rating. Yes, he lost against you but you're not an ordinary 1900.

[@arrowofkira5658]

I don't think that opponent got to that rating without any opening repertoire, i think they just experimented with a sideline of the grand prix attack which for some reason plays 2. Bc4, 3. f4 instead of a vienna like setup with 2. Nc3, 3. f4. Very unfortunate for them to run into Danya lol

[@minefieldtango5513]

Hard to respect your opponent when they send three draw offers after going down a piece.

[@z33d6]

@@tristanbass-krueger7195 I don't think that's relevant. And I didn't mean it in a negative way either.

[@tristanbass-krueger7195]

@@z33d6 bit of both. Danya's tone definitely got sharper once the draw spamming started.

[@Thekilla2659]

Something I hate about online chess is that people will commit to playing shorter games and use their entire clock time (anything on the quick selections, so any of your standard bullet and 5 minute or less blitz). But when it comes to rapid games, so anything between 10 and 20 minutes roughly, they decide they’re going to spend 2-5 minutes or their clock for the entire game and then end up playing extremely poorly due to this. I’m not sure if this is just chess nature for a lot of people at this point or if they’re just that uncommitted to actually wanting to play and are just wanting to get as many games out as possible no matter the quality. This game being a perfect example, your opponent used maybe 2 minutes for half the game then started to think slightly but only after getting his Bishop trapped and trying to create some kind of counter play that never came due to carelessness in the opening and no thought (or at least no deep thought) about what he was going to do in the situation he found himself in.

[@tristanbass-krueger7195]

Still a pretty wank move for a 1900. It's the beginner move against the sicilian.

[@seasideman]

Exactly. The 1900 player thought they were playing someone similar in strength to themselves, not a grandmaster almost 1000 Elo ahead of them. And it's pretty unfair to be so rude to that player too. Admittedly the draw offers were unclassy, but that's no way for a GM to talk about a much weaker player.
