"i cant play without my pen" "ok its fine ill play without my pen"

[@matthewrigby6089]

It's why he got outplayed in the second game. You can only go so many games without a pen.

[@zachb566]

Lol, exactly

[@seanhunter111]

Love the fact you have a really strong player playing probably one of the best games of their life, a piece for 2 pawns up going into an endgame with clocks even on about a minute each. “OK now I’m going to flag him....”. Proceeds to give lesson on how to flag, explaining each step.....

[@matthewrigby6089]

How to transform your advantage: switch the lesson from how to play good chess to how to flag your opponent.

[@musique-ef3rz]

Flagging is important! I was once a queen, rook, and 2 pieces down and I had 20 sec vs. 1 minute and a half and whaddya know I flagged em

[@YoungJustice1997]

He's a gm in flagging, it actually helped

Danya explaining why his opponent played well during and after the game is very wholesome to watch.

“It’s like a roomba that slides under the bed and turns off”

[@fujiapple9675]

Chat needs to chill with the cheating accusations. These opponents are very good.

[@tetryst]

I don't think chat is sincere, since Danya's first cheater vid they've gradually accused more and more players, to the point where every time I watch his stream now there's some "cheater," so I think it's just a meme now.

[@realmush6794]

Tbf it was hella sus. Top Engine moves, plus same amount of time each move. Can't even do a time scramble at the end.

[@manfrom20xx13]

@@realmush6794 It really was sus yeah. But it's possible this was just a 2300 playing a game of his life. If this was a 1800 pool, that guy would've definitely been banned.

[@randomCoolGuy]

Missed this so much

[@TheKawww]

Thanks for all of the content Danya!

[@puzzician]

This guy's prep was really good. Bd3 is an improvement over theory even without the weakening Qb3. You have to leave the Queen alone, play a6 before castling, to put the question to the Bishop before knowing what should be done next. Once the Bishop moves off the (potential, post-d6) pin, d6 should still be played before castling! You cannot give time for the reinforcing Bf4. Amazing.

[@ChessJourneyman]

Be4 and Rd1 were very...interesting...moves, among others. If he can find insane ideas so consistently, he should be 2700+, wink, wink.

[@elvisramic8545]

Daniel's skills and understanding is simply Mind blowing.

[@BM-hj6lq]

Under 2500’s have no chance against Daniel when it comes to a time scramble. Watch Agadmator if you want to see a brilliant game happened today where Daniel crush Magnus Carlsen under 26 seconds in a bullet game.

[@scottyp02]

Can anyone explain why not knight f6 at 7:51?

[@Ninterd2]

Pawn takes

[@ammster1234]

Pawn takes knight, queen defends pawn so rook can’t take back and then Rxg6. White essentially loses all the advantage and is down a knight. Also, the black queen still protects the black rook on h7, so you’re not winning material after g pawn takes knight.

[@patrickmeagher6914]

Does Danya think it’s Christmas or something? He told some guy merry Christmas then when he was referring to the wish list he said what do u want for Christmas? Lol

what's wrong with this guy's chat? Opponent is 2300+. High level play isn't unusual, in fact it's totally par for the course. Is it like the same person in the chat everytime calling cheater? I have a hard time believing that many people would see a 2300 play well and think anything other than the obvious - he's a high rated opponent, of course he's going to play really well.

[@kelvinleung5065]

he must've cheated. No one plays this well just to fail like he did in that last minute

[@DonFreeq]

I very doubt he was cheating. There are plenty of tactical guys who has that pattern. They just don't get much into flag endings because of how well they play before. If instead Daniel there would be some random NM there, there would be no endgame or some "endgame" with a rook up. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

[@kmktruthserum9328]

29:31 thought he had a smart idea and just was gonna act like he wasnt gonna move for 6 seconds and accept defeat... but no, the idiot decided to think for 5 seconds and move with 1 second left... IM SORRY BUT NO. who tf higher than 1100 is going to think for 5 seconds and move at 1, when theres no increment added to his time? A CHEATER THATS WHO!
