Amazing! Very impressed by Wan.

[@KnightToRemember]

I’m not and he’s not, he’s kicking himself for having messed up first a win and then a draw, I know it because I lost winning positions in rapid against much higher rated players

[@chubychops]

Unbelievable comeback

[@thefrayfann]

Wow, on the edge of my seat!

[@JuliusBjornsson]

I know they’re really low on time, but it’s still incredible to miss mate in 1 at 7:59

[@KnightToRemember]

Qf7 was the first winning move he saw and he played it, 1-0

[@JuliusBjornsson]

@@KnightToRemember I know, I watched the video😉

[@KnightToRemember]

@@JuliusBjornsson so its not incredible that he missed it, in time trouble when you see a 100% win you play it

[@JuliusBjornsson]

@@KnightToRemember it’s just rare to see a grandmaster miss a mate in one, especially when all the pieces involved are very close to each other

[@ChessGeek1]

Damn, black got a nice advantage from the opening. Crazy how quick Danya turned it around.

[@MeritedMasterOfTheUSSR]

this joseph guy is fucking awesome!! 😁

[@williamweekhai3252]

Danya missed mate in 1 at 7:58, or did I missing something? Anyway, this game was intense!

[@JuliusBjornsson]

No, he missed it.

[@dieg0k1ng73]

definitely was bc of the time pressure, but if anything he secured a forced queen trade, also def didnt expect his opponent to blunder m1 either way haha

[@vantacreations]

nice save by the sensai

[@fightclub571]

What a save

[@allin8795]

insane from naroditsky!

[@thechesslobster2768]

Doesn't black have a draw at 5:11? Threefold or white has to give up the center pawn with check?

[@SaurabhXDD]

Black wanted to play for win at that moment.

[@mehdimehdikhani5899]

7:15 just Qc5 and white can't escape checks. He allowed the king to go in the wrong direction.

[@gabrielfernandezmendiguchi5768]

❤❤❤❤

[@thecapitalist4560]

black has mate in 1 at 7:04 unless i missed smth

[@CaissaBro]

black (me) does not

[@CaissaBro]

possibly my biggest ever throw 😭🤦‍♀️

[@SVNTHR737]

You did more than i expected, congrats

[@FenShen-us9tv]

what was that end game dude

[@christiansiebert4834]

winning this while completely loosing :)

[@thechesslobster2768]

Oh man he did, he wanted to win! What a fighter. Clear threefold after Qd1+ for black.

[@thechesslobster2768]

He was slightly better, so it makes sense he didn't go for this, shows he's an ambitious player looking for further heights than cheapo draws against these champs!

[@brunobenetti4814]

I thought "black's got 2 passed pawns, no way Danya will save this", and the dumbass bluderers not only one, but both
