Danya needs a raise fr 🙌🏼

[@saintsaens21]

He' just surreally good at this gig

[@AndyBaudelaire]

Could you please include the clock on future game reviews? :)

[@CatherineLebrun]

Thanks a lot for the analysis and the prompt post.

[@fourtime7]

Time is the 65th square of chess.

[@ledell25]

Beautiful commentary 🔥

[@Dude-etiquette]

Great analysis from Daniel

[@cooking60210]

I watched the video and I don't think Fabi even noticed that he was lost until Nd5 and then two seconds later he resigned.

[@malinkifox2011]

Amazing game

[@siener]

Well played Hikaru. What a game. Both his wins so far came from "obvious" blunders by his opponents, but his genius is putting his opponents in complicated positions under time pressure, where they are much more likely to make blunders. I love the lack of increment in the first 40 moves and that there is no second time control. It makes the time scrambles much more exciting and consequential.

[@smethdog]

Yesss Hikaru!!

[@anewfuture]

Win or lose, I like that he is having many decisive games. It makes him interesting to watch.

[@binks2413]

Great win for hikaru. Fabi put this game in the trash. Bounce back strong tomorrow

[@user-iw2cl4ug7z]

Not the best ad for Fabi's ruy lopez course

[@invisobill2125]

True. But there’s no shame losing to a dog like Hikaru who is clearly a top 3 player in the world. Top 2 in the world amongst all OTB formats.

[@winterfall_0]

The fact that it is employed by Fabi at the highest level is a pretty good ad, i'd say. Plus, he didn't lose because of the opening, but rather due to inaccuracies in middle game

[@StacyInLove1]

👏

[@jackson32]

Naka has aggression, deep opening prep and soundness. Caruana is the kind of person he can beat as Caruana seems not on quite the same strength when it comes to playing very sharp games. He played two of the top players in the world in the last two games, one win and the other one was kind of lucky and had to fight fire with fire to survive.

[@MeongMiao]

10:12 It wasn't a blunder but gave up, because from that situation there was no hope for Black except defeat. With queen and knight which it's taken later, forced to gives queen.....

[@jtaulen]

Thank you so very much for spoilers in the title ... Just great ...

[@phd.inanime3427]

I'm not gay but naroditsky is making me

[@General_Aladeen]

youre gay then

[@atedejong5620]

so in a way reading the statistics, Caruana had a 1 blunder and 1 miss versus Hikaru 1 mistake.

[@RuTream]

Naroditsky is such a good commentator. Even for weak chess players like me everything is clear, when he explains it.

[@ncedobuthelezi3579]

Danya can u please review all the reminder of the games 🙏🏾🥹

[@asalmaghzian1515]

I’m last now

[@jowbloe4700]

Guess Naka only plays great when he plays other good players 🤣

[@maggietang4536]

Why dont they purposely lose to a friend? And maybe get paid for it? A win win.

[@slicksalmon6948]

Imagine this is a really insightful comment with just a bit of wit.

[@JohnpaulPaga]

Hi

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

It's like two bodies of water. Out of Hikarus pond all sorts of nastiness comes jumping out. Caruana is just a wave approaching... And then it retreats. Nothing popped out.

[@JacobBush16]

Wow what a game. Can’t wait to forget this game when neither of them ever get close to the chance to challenge the 7th best player in the world for the title of “World Chess Champion,” while being 50-100 points behind Magnus.

[@gchomuk]

Bummer. Would prefer Fabi over Hikaru.

[@vishesh1210]

The chess speaks for itself.

[@compositeur8455]

Fabi just self-destructed trying to win. Think his bad nerves lost him the candidates.

[@user-jm1nf4lu9r]

Crybaby spotted 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cry more 🤭

[@compositeur8455]

fabi should be ashamed of himself

[@kizzyle5989]

Lmao. Cuz Yu could have done better ??

[@catsouplover7745]

Why? Cause he lost against a top 3 classical player? Lmao get out of here

@@kizzyle5989 cos fabi knows he is the only one that can beat Nepo in the candidates and now we can Nepo getting his arse beat for the 3rd straight time.
