Duda - Kramnik, Tata Steel 2019: Svidler's Game of the Day

[@proflaxis6968]

I suspect a player conspiracy to make the games as complex as possible in an attempt to fry Peter's brain. Make sure to enjoy a minimal brain activity game like Hearthstone on your well deserved rest day Peter.

Im a simple guy, I see Peter I click like.

[@rabranch32]

Gaaaa...no wonder both sides were in time trouble!

[@LutherBlissett94]

Being an old Kramnik fan, this makes my heart bleed :'-(

Being a fan of old Kramnik.

[@jasondoe2596]

I truly respect his (apparently conscious) decision to play uncompromising chess and push each game to a decisive conclusion. He's a legend with nothing to prove, and he's trying to have fun. That said, his results *do* sadden me, as well. At least in the Candidates he blew Aronian and a few others off the board :(

[@LutherBlissett94]

​@@maciektrybuszewski9964 Yes indeed, the old Kramnik was more my kind of guy... Full respect to his new style though, and even more so for the super brave decision to transform his play so drastically as he did. I bet that was unprecedented on that level.

[@virioguidostipa5681]

What an exciting game, and what a comment! Svidler is always the most professional and deep, the best.

[@Pacalolo04]

Kramnik is "going all out"... Yes, to the most memorable losing streak for a world champion in the history of the game.

[@Maxfr8]

Chess always seems to remind of how stupid I am.

[@miomatteo]

FIRST! :D Thanks Peter!

26:30 this is what they call the “distant opposition”!

[@abcdefghilihgfedcba]

…That’s not even opposition.

[@perfect_harmony4348]

@@abcdefghilihgfedcba no but it might be a joke 🤦‍♂️

[@epliroforiki]

A game that you just make moves and hope for the best. No evaluation applies!!!

[@simonemontelaghi362]

pls stop this trend of "kind people" so cringe

[@zifircin1797]

lol

[@jasondoe2596]

"cringe" ?! I find Peter's mannerisms pretty wholesome, actually... Your comment, on the other hand, is pretty "cringe" indeed.

[@jasondoe2596]

Sir Alexander, I did not, believe it or not. ( *edit:* That's one of my own pet peeves with KZbin, actually - it shouldn't allow you to upvote you own comments, to avoid this kind of silly drama exactly.)
