Parham Maghsoodloo vs. Luca Moroni: 2019 Junior Speed Chess Championship

World Junior Chess Champion Parham Maghsoodloo plays the 2017 Italian Champion, Luca Moroni, in the Junior Speed Chess Championship! Parham sports the much higher rating (and is in Chess.com's top-five blitz players!), but can Moroni score an upset and show his worth as the youngest Italian Champion since Fabiano Caruana?

Bravo Luca, è un piacere vedere un italiano in competizioni di questo livello

[@janetoss]

I have to admit that these two are now my fav commentators. Watching Danny freak out over a sudden mate is just good TV. Tks.

[@MrRobbyvent]

Forza Luca Moroni continua a confrontarti a questi livelli per migliorare!

[@zertorex9641]

I feel like speed chess is nothing without Danny

its harsh but others are cringe..

Parham looks like an anime character

[@yousufo.ramahi126]

Just imagine a Parham v. Alireza world championship, oof.

[@beyondlimits8159]

Who’s better?

[@cristiannovelle-ruddy3083]

It may happen....

@@beyondlimits8159 Alireza in classical rn, but their ratings are not far off. Very exciting future.

Parham ... what a beast 💪

[@stateofmontanapal.2506]

Danny and Robert both of them are a great commentator.

Whenever I see Danny now, I picture him singing "Amarillo by morning..." :-)

Viva Persian , Bravo Parham

Damn man this commentary is in another level 😂😂😂 That reaction 3:13:19

[@user-uq3iw2nf6x]

you're so right haha

[@sourandbitter3062]

starts @ 5:30

[@youtubistas]

@ 2:29:00 maybe he thought Qc5 first that is why it took a few seconds.

[@musicguitar]

Fuck! Hess is an amazing commentator. Knows his shit real well.

[@mortalkombatgammingmortalp3459]

Fuck you

Love Joshua but Sammy's lasted almost 100 years

f*ck me...why is Danny back?!

Khaleesi also likes the Dragon

[@AgentSmith911]

Is Andrew Tang in this?

[@LuisParedes-sd3qz]

Wtf?

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

He isn't. I am not sure on the qualifications for this, however, I think maybe he doesn't qualify as enough of a "prodigy"

[@user-rs5hb6gd8e]

@@Isaiah_McIntosh Ginger gm is 40ty something prodigy so I don't think Penguin isn't, maybe he just doesn't want to participate? :)

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

@@user-rs5hb6gd8e That's possible. Maybe it could even be they didn't want too many people from any one country? No idea but it's fun guessing.

[@00101110000010001011]

Praggnanandhaa is the bottom seed at 2537, Tang is only 2496. As much as he's amazing at speed chess, his FIDE classical rating wasn't enough to qualify.

[@mortalkombatgammingmortalp3459]

Moronic lost to pragg

[@stateofmontanapal.2506]

Honestly, no offense but Luca Moroni does not play GM's level, don't know how he earned his GM.

[@JBHACKSAW]

I don't know, man.....Parham looks good enough to play in the senior speed chess championship to me. Moroni was just outclassed.

[@MrRobbyvent]

He has to improve mentally...New ground for him.

[@stateofmontanapal.2506]

@@JBHACKSAW I think he should not be selected to this tournament. There were much stronger junior players out there such as Haik Martirosyan or Vladislav Artemev or some Indian players

[@stateofmontanapal.2506]

@@MrRobbyvent I think he should not be selected. He is too weak.

[@Isaiah_McIntosh]

@@stateofmontanapal.2506 Artemiev is no longer a junior. Martirosyan would be a good choice. Please remember this is online blitz not over the board classical. He earned his GM title by being a very good classical over the board player. It didn't translate in this match but it isn't grounds to question his talent. Always remember when Fabiano was clearly the second best in the world classically but arguably not even a top 20 blitz player. In retrospect other players may have been a better fit although uncertain choices like Gledura or Van Foreest have had great showings.

[@drasticallyimprove4890]

Chess.com worst chess website and app ever. You will get permanent IP ban by simply mentioning "other platform". I did not even mentioned name of other websites. It is them who need "Community Guidelines" that they are saying.

[@phchinese2130]

I agree chess.com only want to hear what they want to hear. Negative feedbacks means they need improvement. I found a new home Lichess and chess24.com where staff are not inscecure people.

[@janetoss]

Is chess.com still doing stuff like that? Sophomoric gang member mentality bits? Shame they haven't grown up yet. New money is like that.
