Daniel King's rating is a good 500 points above almost all the other chess youtubers and his analysis shows the difference

[@gregtechno506]

What it really shows is it is not only his job, but a trully passionate hobby. You can feel the joy with which he presents the games. Number one chess analyst.

[@michajabonski8152]

Nooo, mate. That can be 200-300 points but not 500.

[@subudjj9368]

Agadmator chess network and kingscrusher are all rated around 2000....Daniel King if im not mistaken is around 2500 so thats where I got that from

[@michajabonski8152]

@@subudjj9368 agadmator could be 2000ish, KingCrushrer is a CM and more like 2200. Plus there is ChessNetwork who's well over 2200, there is Simon Williams vel GingerGM, rated about 2450 (just like Daniel King) and you can even count Jan Gustafsson, who's over 2600. But yeah, Daniel's channel is the best anyway, no doubt.

[@adithyakaravadi8170]

The best part for me is that I feel like a better player after watching Daniel King's presentation, at least in terms of analyzing the promise of a position. Other youtubers is more like 'chess updates'

[@gregtechno506]

Ding is showing his true form right now. Brilliantly played & thank you Daniel for a great insight. I hope Ding wins this tournament, he has really proven he deserves it.

[@RangeWilson]

Ding showing his class again! This game might stand as the moment when Ding eclipses Caruana in the pursuit of Carlsen!

[@joedorben3504]

could be, but Ding's consistency is nowhere near Caruana's. Time and time again, top level chess always seems to boil down to consistency, rather than brilliance. Ding has some fantastic games under his belt, even including some very strong draws, but he never seems to consistently keep himself at the very top, similar to how Aronian will occasionally have a streak of very strong chess, brilliant games, even beating Magnus every once in a blue moon, but eventually he always will follow it up with uncharacteristically poor showings that bring him back down to earth, like where he is now. Ding is the same way, tho he never performs as poorly as Aronian is liable to on his way back down

[@sirdjorgostarcopper8735]

Your my favourite chess commentator.. It's fast it's straight to the point but with highlights..keep up the good work 🙂 Time for me to subscribe 👍

[@beedissle994]

I always love watching your videos! Even if i watch the games live, it's good to see a different point of view in the position. Good stuff!!! Thanks

[@williamkyburz]

What a beautiful game. Thank you Daniel for an excellent analysis.

[@tamboresdomundo8156]

Fantastic analysis and video as always! Ding...what a player!

[@proflaxis6968]

Enter The Dragon. Welcome to The Ding Dynasty.

[@Robster543210]

The best game of the tournament.

[@arvraghu]

GM King's fantastic analysis of the Qf1 move made my day! How can one not get glued to the class and depth with which Danny analyzes various lines. This commentary of yours is as good a masterclass as the game itself. Reminded me of your stunning Be6 analysis of the evergreen Kasparov-Topalov Wijk An Zee 1999 game. Thank you, for these wonderful stuff and in advance for many more to come.

[@KrishnaKumar-np3tw]

Nice detailed explanation of the game, thanks.

[@horvathliviu2101]

Great game, wonderful commentary Daniel! Thank you!

[@Shockprowl]

Gosh that was really good by Ding.

[@roymanzi4720]

Fantastic.. Thanks Daniel

[@ItachiGT]

Awesome end game by Ding! Usually the GMs have problems in converting their advantage into a win, because nowadays with all the software, they all have become masters of defending.

[@mwangikimani3970]

This was not an endgame. If you don't know such basics how can you possibly give an opinion on software use and defense? Sorry i had to call you out on that no harm intended.

[@ibrahimseck8520]

Ding will cause a real headache to Carlsen if he becomes the challenger !

[@martinet1985]

I hope so!!

[@MjrLeegInfidel]

Even as a carlsen fan, I have to say ...ding as challenger would be exciting!

[@axhalon3812]

all of you told the same about mvl, aronian, caruana but carlsen is still there on the top haha

[@MickThal]

You make the best analysis. 00:18:27 I think not only you, almost we all were wrong, when we thought only these 4 have a chance to win the tournament. Never underestimate Carlsen :D.

[@n20games52]

Wow, excellent game and Liren is really closing in on Caruana's ranking.

[@nebukanezer73]

I can hear Caruana crying in the background!

[@RoyGazoff]

Brilliant

[@iamanonymous6761]

I don't know why agadmator has more subscribers than you.

[@RangeWilson]

In the past, agadmator had a far higher volume of uploads and a far bigger presence on social media (twitter, twitch, etc.). But Mr. King has caught on and has ramped up in those areas as well. Methinks he may have hired a KZbin channel consultant!

[@iamanonymous6761]

Range Wilson I feel king's videos reveal higher insights than those of agadmator's, given this man has been the chess commentator for years.

[@andrewscott7728]

Adagmator uses a lot of hype and clickbait that attracts the attention of the masses.

[@iamanonymous6761]

JS Recurser I feel this channel should get more exposure.. it's under appreciated..and also this game should get more sponsors, the grandmasters are underpaid for their achievements and the mental stress they endure.

[@CaradhrasAiguo49]

@@BeFourCM I watch both, and while there is some common ground covered re: "current events" tournaments, Agadmator does a good job of "popularising" chess via, among other things, the sharing of event photography footage, and thus has his place. You can't really expect him, as someone who only this year attained his IM title and only began his channel in earnest in 2016/17, to ever compete in the depth of pure analysis with GM King who has commentated long enough to have covered the 1995 PCA WCC match between Kasparov and Anand. For instance, the difference in the level of analysis is shown at 13:52 with 38. Qf1; Agadmator at 8:25 in his video only meekly explains it as "Ding avoiding the Queen trade", missing the point, as GM King noted, that 38. Qe2, which also avoids a Q trade, allows Black 38... Rb2, X-raying the g2-pawn with tempo.

[@schoong001]

Beautiful middle game, brought to light for us mere chess hobbists, by a marvelous analysis in this channel ! Especially around 14:30 Thank you.

[@paulgreen7906]

Enter the Dragon! Ding is the man with all the moves

[@stijnhawinkel5561]

34. Nc6? Rxd2+ and black draws. Thanks, cool game!

[@tome57a]

World-class play like this deserves world-class analysis like this. Many thanks!

[@jianzhou1163]

Great

[@BongelaMnguni]

Great analysis but you left out some beautiful tricks that Fabi could have tried in the end

[@jackkrom]

Yes this is major league stuff with 2 Queens and 4 Rooks floating around the board. How do you even invoke general principles? But Ding does managed to double rooks on the c-file and that combined with a more aggressive Knight position and advanced a-pawn seems to give him a nagging edge. A well-deserved victory!

[@gracefullygraceful9776]

Ding Ding

[@marcwordsmith]

Why not Rc7 on move 27? That doesn't win instantly? If Black goes Rd1+ then White simply goes Kh2, correct? What am I missing please?

[@kunalshrivastav8969]

Anand could have been at +5. Very sad for him, he would not be caught then.

[@MartinUToob]

Uh oh. Fabi may have to bring out the tapas. 🍅

[@yudistiraliem135]

if Carlsen is not the world champion we would have closest ever competition for WC..

[@arnieus866]

Staying on top of Caruana in such a simplified position is chess on a mind blowing level that Magnus is not matching currently. Could Ding have some sort of Alpha-zero implant?

[@arthurmiller6064]

Nice "kindergarten " explanation ;)

[@karellen2001]

Ding may be using a computer engine, with a secret ear gadget.

[@francisparr9131]

First!

[@martinet1985]

fo!
