Excellent coverage as always Daniel, your videos are the most entertaining and intlstructional. Hope your team has a big night tomorrow, COME ON THE🐝!!

6. Rg1 is known as Freak Attack! :D It was played also during Tata Steel 2020 by Jorden van Foreest against Firouzja. Ian Gustafsson called this moves dumb at that time and Peter Svidler felt offended and explained how old idea it is... great to see it again! :D

... All that pressure got you down, has your head spinning all around.... Ahhhh Freak Out!!...

"for the price of just one pawn", hmmm, that is the way I usually start losing my games :-) Amazingly attractive game and analysis. Thanks GM.

[@je9625]

7:36 "...very strange tactics here" 😁

[@BlueSky-eb2sv]

Thanks for the analysis. Watched the live game and was not sure why MC resigned at that stage. Great comment!

[@thePot_]

Boys, if Nepo makes it to the championship match against Magnus, its going to be BY FAR the biggest challenge for the Norwegian whatsoever. Nepo is like a combination of good educated, well-calculating GM, and a paradoxial driven, creative, symmetric board loving mad machine. He can bring so much of the psychological discomfort to Magnus. And he is in his prime now, he likes to challenge and fight, no academic chess, he is way more dangerous than unstable prodigy Alireza or academic professor Grishuk, or even battle tank Maxim :)

[@strong8705]

You omitted important thing. Of course, his phenomenal speed. When someone presses on clock as well as on the board, psychological pressure mounts up. For me, constant pressure to catch up on the clock, or go slow is burdening additional decision.

[@amritmenda4303]

At 6minute 16second,a takes b5 is possible since bishop guards the rook and also white will not be able to castle because rooks will be exchanged

[@Immortalassassin1]

Rg1 is such a bizarre move. I honestly had never seen it, but it is intriguing how it leads to crazy positions. Great game.

[@pawn4129]

Handsome as always, Daniel!

[@krushgroovin7513]

Darn I wish I could remember the ........ I remember...think an early ‘90s skit from a Live Saturday Night Show that spawned two very successful🍿Gems! Anyway, the saying from the second movie is: “You’re Handsome Dan🤢?” All that for 3 lousy words 😥 it was funny on Wayne’s World though!! Great vid King!

[@drutgat2]

Thanks very much, Daniel.

[@weakrecession]

Brilliant analysis as always, we will have to remember these sidelines for the next club blitzgames... Regarding your new look, you soon will be able to play the villain who gets whacked in the opening scene of some action movie !

[@baportabo8156]

Thanks. You make chess more fun.

[@fredrikmannsverk5071]

What a game by Nepo. Good defence by MC but he cracked in the end. Not easy to defend such a difficult position. Kudos to the Russian. Excellent analysis. King F1...

[@iconicon5642]

That looks like a no shave til the Bees vs Cottagers game

[@chri2453]

Again, Danny teases us with a beard, just to shave it off before the next video. Come on, mate, let it grow, it is the fashion of 2020!

[@slowslav6653]

Carlsen said after tge show that he spotted Rga4 during the game

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

I like the beard Daniel, it suits the King

[@danielhines6728]

A little cryptic, but nice....

[@skakdosmer]

Looking good in a beard! And of course a King should have a beard!

[@BongelaMnguni]

12:21 what happens if white does not take back the bishop and just moves the king? How to stop all those mate threats

[@PowerPlayChess]

Let's say 21 Kf1 instead, then 21...gxf5 and there is no mate. In fact, Black is winning. Crucially the dark-squared bishop covers the h6 square so that after 22 Rh8+ Kg7 23 Qh6 is not mate...

[@BongelaMnguni]

@@PowerPlayChess Thanks, I overlooked that the Bishop would be covering h6

[@davidspedding8349]

Good Luck t0 Brentord tomorrow Danny. Will be supporting you in Dallas, Tx. Sad the match is behind closed doors. Would’ve been a fantastic atmosphere with two London clubs. I sent you a msg thru your .biz website vis a vis the King’s Gambit vs the Schliemann. Thanks and good luck.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Thanks! Yes, I replied to your message!

PowerPlayChess Hmmm. Didn’t receive anything. Checked my junk mail just in case.

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@whatscharliedoingtoday2566 I just checked. It was sent to you.

[@tennisblood]

C'mon you Nepo!!!!!!

[@tkokesh]

21 moves! I know that Karpov lost to Christiansen in 12 moves in 1993, and Anand once lost a game in SIX moves, but has any other _reigning_ world champion ever lost such a short game? (Edit: obviously not counting the game that Carlsen threw to Ding to make up for when Ding went linkdead in a drawn position.)

[@PowerPlayChess]

This is a rapid game so I don’t think it really counts. In the context of the match, and given Magnus’s challenging style, such disasters can occur. Nepo played his part too! What a talent. I have really enjoyed his participation in the tournament.

[@tkokesh]

PowerPlayChess I have to admit, I rooted for Nepo from move one in this tournament. He has an aggressive “caveman” style that isn’t matched by any other top player nowadays.

[@A.mostafavi]

👏👏👌

[@TBKGOLDY]

You look like Geralt of Rivia.

I have no idea who that is, but he sounds like a dude.

Just to let you know, hairdressers are now out of lockdown.

[@PowerPlayChess]

The news is slow round here. Thanks for the tip.

[@yonatanshenhav1208]

its so obvious that Daniel is heart broken about M.C loss. when he wins Daniel is smiling and laughing and praising M.C like crazy.

[@warnaoh]

I mean if he was that biased towards Carlsen, he could have chosen to analyse another game that Carlsen won instead of this one...

[@crazymulgogi]

Every chess commentator worth his salt enjoys it when the champion loses an interesting game. It keeps the field interesting. I don't think DK's coverage shows any particular preference for Carlsen beyond him being one of the strongest players ever.
