Not enough to learn German apparantly, shame!

@@babstra55 Not every language, but one should strive to learn any language Jan chooses to stream in!

[@Dario_Salvi]

I like it too, he is a nice and funny guy

[@sonicmmco5888]

The King is back! So good to see Jan streaming in English. Come for the chess - stay for the humour.

[@NoobNoOne1]

Woah Jan on lichess that's exciting. I love his humour, hopefully there's more of him

[@vladimirfreddie]

Yay! It's Jan!

[@LichessDotOrg]

Indeed! :)

[@jasonparker6138]

Jan is a riot. I could watch this for hours.

[@newyorkslim2001]

you're so right... he's addicting

[@joshualavender]

Jan is a great choice for Lichess Plays! Solid chess and comedic gold!

[@lukavlacic2415]

Awesome video, hope to see more of amazing Mr. Jan, and Lichess is great!

[@jamesreed4483]

about 5 years ago I enjoyed seeing you win a weekly speed tournament at Hotel Herrity in downtown Bangkok. no surprise there but I was surprised at how tall you are! best wishes.

[@regnitteo]

Yay - my favorite chess streamer on my favorite YT show 🥰

[@acidessenz2201]

Nice, banterblitz is back

[@Uluc994]

54:50 blunder on the move 28 😂

[@attilahalmai4590]

Jan makes the most cheerful and cozy streams, not to mention his superb playing level! Very enjoyable and somehow even calming! 10/10!

[@thetree1994]

Blundersonmove 28 blunders on move 28, Slippery Guy was slippery, such excellent game-name correspondence.

[@12jswilson]

I played against a guy who's name was "Hangs_Mate_in_1." You'll never guess what happened

[@embeleco2342]

Hi Jan! What a surprise finding you on Lichess! So, is this part of Danny-doing-damage as we already have come used to, or just a one of? Naroditsky, Caruana, and Hess, of all people, instead of the 2P&J dreamteam, what has the world come to? Anyway, welcome to the last refuge...

[@InturnetHaetMachine]

This guy reminds of a really cool chess player called Radio Jan, but Jan seems a little bit more humble.

[@Kolfonik]

Hi jan! It is nice to see you here 👍

[@kyleargue1969]

Jan’s banter blitzes got me into chess back in the day

[@jupiter-8405]

I didn't know this guy before watching this, WOW! this guy's dry wit had me smiling and laughing all the way through it. Such a funny guy, right on my wavelength too!

[@12jswilson]

One of Magnus Carlsen's longtime trainers for world championships. He was the public face of chess24 for years

[@barkman1739]

153:19 Rosen trophy!

[@TymexComputing]

Master of forking? Your the forking legend:)!

[@derekrios8691]

Your vast basketball knowledge is impressive

[@kingberzerk]

Quite a surprise!

[@LichessDotOrg]

Hope you enjoyed the surprise! :)

[@kingberzerk]

@@LichessDotOrg First things frist: It's great that you set up this show! My personal view: I miss John's positive attitude towards his audience and towards chess. With Jan, the ideal of a rebellious attitude resonates, coupled with flirty sarcasm. That goes down very well with young people and is generally labeled as cool. But that's a bit overused for me. Added to this are the lachrymosity and the coquetry. On his own shows, he also flirts with the fact that he much prefers to talk about other things, prefers not to calculate and so on. I'd rather watch Anish. Especially if you grew up in Germany and have followed Gustafsson's career, you already know the whole thing well enough. I liked John's attitude and also the experience he brought as a coach. Jan is adored by his followers but to be honest it didn't reach me and I tuned out at 1:08:18.

[@00bikeboy]

Jan's back! Yippee!!

Ding is the world champion despite not qualifying for the Candidates nor winning the Candidates. Pretty crazy story indeed!

[@twown]

Whether you pronounce it warm or worm depends largely upon which of those two words you're uttering.

[@ahmadburhanhabibi]

54:50 oh my god 😂😭😭

[@ahmadburhanhabibi]

01:07:03 also literally slipperyguy

[@Briefklammer1]

Germanys biggest export hit. Glad I ve learnt english in school xD

[@rotvonrat]

Ridiculous to hear Jan complaining that he is so old, when he really is just lazier than most of us.

[@ericrobinson7184]

Why am I just finding this? How does the algorithm not know to flash Jan if he is online, I wish their was a prioritization button.

[@lesilluminations1]

I don't know how he manages to play devastating chess so effortlessly talking all the while.

[@derekrios8691]

When theirs mate in 1 look for better lol

[@yungturtle7033]

Chat alta.

[@JakeLoeppky]

"No, your English is amazing! I can't believe you're German-your accent is not that bad." 4:00

[@mscatcandy]

wow so kool

[@gtrmusic69]

LiChess all the way. Sooooo much better than the rest. Only ICC is better.

[@pieden5731]

Who is this young man on the thumbnail? ;)

[@HonkyMonky]

GOAT

[@newyorkslim2001]

no one like him.... so cynical... entertaining.... the beautiful checkmate almost launched and the guy resigned -- where can I complain?... so great

[@JFresh1977]

Was really hoping Magnus was going to make a comeback :P. Oh well. Maybe next time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZKYpJtsnaepias

[@thorsteinnbjarnason8213]

Please stream some more in English from time to time if you can 😊🙂

[@wrathofpunjabi]

Come on Jan: Need more English commentary. Miss your attempts at humor!

[@olliert4840]

German man talking about his struggle this doesn't bode well

[@toSirius]

[@sy6550]

Jan I miss your commentary man. The best, imagine being next to Peter Svidler and making it more than a self deprecating fest. Plus that child Tania, she has no clue how annoying she is.
