Let's think about it for a sec: how many GMs stare intensely at the clock at the beginning of the game 3:15 when both players still have 2 minutes? It’s a very intense stare too. Always in the same spot, examining something intently. Extremely suspicious. The clock argument doesn't make any sense to me

Thanks for sharing the timestamp. We need to remember these moments when Ali gets a bit cringe impudent and starts garnering some haters.

[@SaintD382]

56:05 The self-pity that Danya shows as he gets discouraged about the match is actually refreshing to me. He's not afraid to show us his humanity, and by "sulking" he makes it okay for the rest of us to be imperfect too. Even a great player like Danya can get down on himself, so hey, maybe I'm not so bad. I love Eric Rosen, but he almost never shows flaws. Same with John Bartholomew. Those guys are "exemplary". And I'm happy for them, but I can't quite relate to their level of "goodness". I'm too flawed myself. So seeing a genius like Danya feeling sorry for himself is actually comforting to me, in a weird way.

He already adopted him

[@vahidmirkhani]

No. If you listen closely, he's reading the chat, and says it's easy to adopt him "IF" Dan is a 2700 player, and he says that's the problem. He then says if you solve the problem (make Dan a 2700 player), that would be great. In fact, Alireza shows nothing but respect to Dan in this entire video. Someone in chat says why are you 3-0 behind, and he says because Dan is powerful. Also, when the mouse slip happens at 37:55, Alireza says it first cause he know Dan doesn't make a blunder like that. That's why I enjoyed watching this. These guys respect each other and are killing each other at the same time.😁

Anyone know what the first song is ?

[@TuncGK]

When we compare chess players we always fail to understand that after a certain level of technique, the chess ability is mainly based on who you are. Naroditsky has a tender soul just like Spassky did. Carlsen is more like Fischer and Kasparov. Danya's personality type requires much more confidence when it comes to higher levels. Even the giant posture of Kramnik is enough to overwhelm him. "If he is tall, then he is slow" would be the way of thinking when it comes to fighting. Every armor has weak points. That is not something about moves or tactics or combinations. It is how you position yourself and your opponent in the general scheme of events. For example, Nepo did not believe in himself at the championship 2021. The belief in ourselves is the very first step otherwise we can convince noone including our opponents. That is why Danya is so good at 1-3-5 minute chess against Carlsen and Alireza; but, in the longer time formats he fails. His failure is not due to a lack of his positional understanding or tactical vision. It is about how he positions himself in the world. He is a tender soul like Spassky. He should embrace the wisdom of Spassky. Spassky's psychology of chess might be the most complex in this sense. If anyone can understand this, it would be Danya. My advice to this beatiful young lad is some pull-ups. There are very few things that can boost confidence like doing some pull-ups. Dubov is doing a lot that is why he does not give a fuck about anything. Danya needs that essence in the composition of his soul as well. Spassky was a very good athlete also. Build up some testosterone.

He does well against Alireza due to stylistic reasons but he gets completely crushed by Hikaru so because Naka is a sharp, tactical player like Daniel is himself just much better.

[@q.m9094]

@@ym276 I mean, getting crushed by one of the best blitz players in history isn’t really what it’d use to prove he isn’t as good. Like I’m pretty sure nakamura would beat magnus in blitz even. And in Blitz and bullet his score against magnus is 500-300ish. So he’s definitely not #1 that’s for sure, but the fact he’s doing that well against all those top players while not being professionally active for a long time and while not working on his chess all that much while those dedicate all their time to studying honestly makes you think if he ever works seriously he could achieve some serious thing.

[@kevinnguyen1008]
