It's not a percent even though it is out of 100. It's a CAPS score. Or it is a percentage in a way but not a pure % of top engine moves. It's based on average centipawn loss.

"We have to speed up here, I don't want to lose on time" - says the #3 ranked bullet GM 11:35

[@pairot01]

In bullet both players have v ery little time. Usually there's a lot of blunders made and the majority of those are missed. A decent player with a few minutes could totally beat Danya if he has under 10 seconds, you can always make checks or captures that don't really work but he isn't expecting them (precisely because they don't work), so he needs to spend precious time adjusting to the unexpected position.

They don't actually visualise pieces on the ceiling mind, they visualise in their head and are merely looking away. You can confirm this from Magnus and Hikaru by watching their video on the Queen's Gambit TV series

Baruchpierwszy played amazingly. Analyzing the game with stockfish shows amazing counterplay hidden in his position, and to Naroditsky's credit he never took that foot off the gas and kept creating attacking chances.

[@asza5]

I feel like if Daniel plays D4 instantly they will decline the gambit. If he hesitates a little then plays D4 they will take it.

[@JamesThompson-zu3bq]

Lmao I always hesitate when I play gambits, I don't want it to seem like a main line lol

[@bahrss]

9:30 well, my favourite multitran suggests "линейный удар" (linear blow) or "обратная связка" (reverse pin) as possible Russian translations for "skewer", but I've never heard these terms in Russian chess communities.

[@AnkhArcRod]

The lesson here (refer 36:35) is that I am no GM! I could never really calculate through to find that defensive resource. The defense is not too hard to find once the position is played out and black would have definitely found it. I have lost in nice flashy ways in attempting to win like this and won many times against players who thought they had a winning attack via sacrificing.

[@TheMosayat]

Yep and that stuff is why I'd never play a crazy gambit like the danish 😂
