How to Play The Danish Gambit Like Daniel Negreanu

[@ovizdremtan6414]

Hikaru: "So yeah basically the King and Queen are the most valuable." Daniel: *holding pocket aces under his sleeves* "you're in for a world of hurt my friend"

[@KillerInstinct1]

Aces is a cursed hand which gets cracked very often lol

[@Razemine]

@@KillerInstinct1 but it is the strongest hand you can get preflop in poker....

[@wsemenske]

@@KillerInstinct1 no it’s just the most memorable ones thatvif they lose, you feel like bad luck. All other good hands don't get remembered as much when they do happen

[@sergiorenatoreyes6967]

Hikaru will go down in the history books as having done the most for chess of this generation - his modern approach to using online exposure and collaborations with high profile individuals in different fields (but those which require similar skill sets) will bring a huge following to the game.

[@flyingpiggie979]

Agreed. He’s really helping to bring chess into the 21st Century proper.

[@bmoneybby]

True. Will forever be remembered as the time chess died and became taken over by online assholes.

[@TwenOalley]

@J he's saying more people know hikaru, which is probably true among people who watch youtube, but i don't know anything about poker so I don't know how famous daniel is.

[@IliasErr]

@@TwenOalley that's not even remotely true. Negreanu has been in multiple KZbin videos with 10mil+ views, he has his own masterclass in poker online and has been on national television for the last like decade and a half,with poker after dark, and the big game and ept tours and stuff. This is easily the biggest celebrity he has had on here probably. Maybe second only to Björnsson who was on game of thrones, but I would argue even that.

[@drewmurray6545]

I LOVE ❤️ how honest Daniel is when he’s learning here. I hate seeing “training” where someone isn’t really trying to learn. I am learning from his effort here.

[@1Jiub]

Late answer, but i totally felt that way too when watching this, he's confused sometimes, which is completely understandable, and not afraid to show it - it's been really helpful for me to watch it as i feel i'm about on the same level as him

[@jameslutian1977]

The best Chess tutorials on youtube. So often GM's (or lesser) are flaunting their skill, albeit unintentionally, and the viewer comes away with just a bunch of stuff in his head that rarely translates to better play. Like watching a pitcher throw 100 mph. It's fun but nothing else. The videos of Nakamura teaching beginners is REAL teaching from someone who genuinely loves the game, understands it at the highest level, and wants to see others succeed. All that comes together for a great learning experience here. Props to him.

Can’t say I’ve heard of Daniel before but this video is great. I am Daniel (in terms of chess ability) so I learn so much more from this than trying to watch Hikaru play at a million miles an hour (as fascinating as it is to watch someone who has mastered something).

[@vbdao]

Next GG poker will host an online tournament, and Daniel can walk Hikaru through checking for pot control.

[@JonLakeOfficial]

You are defiantly my favourite Chess KZbin teacher! You explains things in a way that makes it super easy to understand but yet doesn't try and rush things so you can get his next point in. You will go over the same point 2 or 3 times if he needs to. Watching your videos, I've learnt it's better to be really good in a few areas of the game then try and learn everything in one go and just get confused. Big fan Hikaru. Keep it up :)

[@chetricker]

Why do I have the feeling that he's gonna stomp pogchamps

[@Bobstew68]

Because out of the participants revealed so far, he's got the 2nd highest rating at ~1100 for rapid. (Ludwig has a bit more, ~1150.) And he's obviously pretty smart and attentive. I think whoever practices most out of him and Ludwig will be the big favorite. That being said though, people are a lot closer in rating than they were in Pogchamps 1. Critikal (~1000) might win, XQC (~1000) might win, Rainn might win (don't know his rating, but probably in the 1000-1200 range if he hasn't been playing much chess since his simul with Carlsen a few years back), even one of the beginners could win if they put in a ton of practice. Pokimane is doing really well so far, she has a long way left if she wants to catch up to the top players though. Also, I have a hunch Michelle Khare might take her training really seriously and make a "challenge accepted" episode out of the experience, which would be exciting to see.
