I Met this guy a couple of times he actually came to my school and then we went to a chess movie premiere and he beat 2 of my friends at the same time

[@belefuu]

I saw Danya at a grocery store in Charlotte last summer. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for opening ideas or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to make sure none of them were juicers,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Sensei Danya back at it!

[@seanm3189]

So I looked at the position with an engine. Ng5 is a blunder. Goes from +0.7 to -3.3. He said it’s a famous mistake though. Anyone have any idea what he is talking about? Is the engine wrong (this happens sometimes)

[@seanm3189]

Additionally, engine says that Ne4 loses to Nxe5

[@markbennett-haldane3867]

Isn't h4 a blunder in game one? as knight takes queen takes then bishop d8 or am i missing something?

[@BossyBroski]

35:20, couldn't you play b4 (clamping down on c5), and if Qxa4 you have Ra1 winning the queen?

[@adityalakhe5926]

Simple Qc7 i guess... Black wont take the pawn...

[@jacobarnoldmusic]

Ra1 doesn't win the queen there. b4 Qxa4 Ra1 Qc2, and the queen is safe and threatening the d2 bishop. If the d2 bishop moves, or if it gets defended, the queen can drop back to e4, f5, g6, or h7 or in the case of Qd3 just trade

[@blazoraptor3392]

If your question is which time control to play in, I'd really recommend 10 minutes (5|5 or 5|3 at the very LEAST) until you're around 1600 - 1800. Take your time to play moves, that really helped me not blunder by simply taking a few more seconds for every move
