Nothing describes madness better than Firouzja playing hundreds of bullet games vs Danya in the middle of the night during the candidates. 🤣

Danya is that side chick whos a baddie that you run to when your main girl is boring you out.

But Forouza lost most of those(so said Kasparov during that candidates or he asked the commentators and they said he lost most!

[@strategygaming5830]

@@Christiaan1958 well yeah... Danya is still one of the best bullet players right now. Even Hikaru doesn't like to play him when he is having a bad day and even on good days Danya stands a chance of winning a couple games with his tricks.

[@Christiaan1958]

@@strategygaming5830 Norodistky must be a good player but he is not Hikaru!. I watch games of Naroditsky before and yea he is good but there is some element/s in his games i don't like. I'm not sure what exactly it is(maybe it's the trickery element, maybe its not, but i can't imagine his style of play can win in say World Championships and he is also not like Tal or Alekhine in his quality of moves. Yea maybe he would have won them in fast games...but but but...his games lacking something for me and i am too weak to pin point what it is but i sense it!

[@vonolemaxle3040]

I remember Naka saying he is TOO old for bullet, but he keeps bulldozing against his fellow top bullet players while talking to his chat. It is so unthinkable how Naka can play while talking cause let's be honest, there is no way he is 100% focused on the match.

[@eye1158]

at this point I think he just play as it is his reflex

I love how Hikaru plays someone like Danya so calmly. Whenever someone plays that fast against me, I completely lose it.

[@ignantxxxninja]

I watch Danya’s channel first and it’s interesting to see the the mindset of both side. That mate from the rook blunder is explained from here lol. The tilt factor really kicked in for him though, I think he was just perpetually fuming the whole time lol

[@20-starstrategy95]

15:44 When the pressure is on with less than 30 seconds in a losing position and Hikaru's face stares on into the abyss in full concentration mode = chef kiss.

Forktown USA, and Hikaru’s the mayor.

[@elensayista8988]

Interesting that the only time Hikaru made a blunder that gave away a game was just a misclick. I also found that long castle a very odd decision seeing it from Danya POV. Hikaru was just electric this match, blazing fast with good moves.

[@tomwilkins6479]

I think this proves that Hikaru is better than Magnus at 1/0 bullet. Magnus is about equal with Danya in bullet but Hikaru just steamrolls Danya in bullet.

[@kshitizyadav3174]

Magnus is better than Danya , his record was bad beacuse I think he played 80 bullet games with Danya when he was drunk

[@NotQuiteFirst]

Danya makes a respectable opponent for both of them in bullet, but both of them crush him overall. Magnus and Hikaru had a recent 30min bullet match as part of their SCC final match, which Magnus won (he only lost the match overall because Hikaru got a winning margin in the 5min games). M&H are on their own level at 1+0, but by the record Magnus probably has the edge.

[@michaelshrek1199]

@@NotQuiteFirst 1+0 is whole another beast compared to 1+1 that's why players like tang, danya who are beasts at 1+0 are not comparable to them in 1+1. We don''t really have the record for magnus vs hikaru in 1+0 so i always think it'sa 50/50 coin toss. I would pay for them to play a long ass 100 match bullet fight though.
