Tani Adewumi Defeats Nakamura Again!

[@magodaairfryer]

This kid is incredible. Not just by his chess abnormal talent, but because of his life story. Can’t wait to see him shine.

[@thomasfern3383]

For my money this channel is the best chess commentary out there.

[@chessdawg]

Thank you

[@froggneptune9240]

Love your breakdown. This young lad Tani is a real wizard and a threat, so fascinating to learn about him.

[@SpiceWeazel]

Keep making Tani content! I subscribed because you cover his career more than most streamers, and I'm eager to see where he goes next.

[@chessdawg]

Thanks, it isn't always easy to find content. But I am always on the lookout for it.

[@kennethwoods6525]

Yes! More Tani, please! More John Montgomery and Chess Dawgs too!!!👍🙋‍♂️😎

[@alvinlaurenceng5567]

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to follow Tani this closely! He's my chess inspiration.

[@chessdawg]

Happy to do it!

[@dowaliby1]

Dawgone, ChessDawg! Tani's play is brilliant, as was your analysis. I cannot get enough of this kid. He is knocking on the door of IM, or maybe the better metaphor, close to busting it down..

[@altonbrek]

Yes,Tani is improving at a phenomenal rate. Excellent analysis Chess Dawg!

[@chessdawg]

No doubt

[@enochianmagic]

I always look out for tani, and you're analysis is superb

[@dadaabiola2474]

I feel like a *GM* just listening to your analysis

[@ahmadbidmeshki]

Great coverage!

[@chessdawg]

Thank you

[@ahmadkoopal3120]

These are the young and talented players that Alireza is faced with to become the world chess champion.

[@wildmanmike100]

Thanks for the commentary.

[@chessdawg]

You bet

[@ghoshbrother574]

Your analysis is very good.

[@goyonman9655]

Nice game

[@JonasDanish1999]

It’s a win for all of us when one of the big guys take a from a child. I’m sure Tani will be world champion one day..

[@frownless]

What a lovely playback. Love your channel

[@maddcapper4548]

Take it easy on them Tani...lol

[@YouGotOptions2]

This channel is dope

[@lanesplitter9926]

If you ever need reliable chess analysis, better call Saul.

[@peterweltweit]

nobody accuses Tani of cheating!

[@IEXECUTIVE]

How many more points is Tani away from acheiving Grandmaster status?

[@chessdawg]

Becoming a Grandmaster requires a number of hoops to jump through other than rating points, but in terms of rating points he is about 350 behind what he would need. He is currently a Fide Master, the next title after that is International Master, and then Grandmaster.

[@SpiceWeazel]

Maybe you mentioned, but what time control was this? Did Tani have a time advantage?

[@chessdawg]

It was a 3-minute blitz game. At the end of the game Naka had 1:02 left and Tani had 0:38 left. So, there was plenty of time for both sides considering it was blitz.

[@SpiceWeazel]

@ChessDawg Wow, that's insane! Hikaru's probably the strongest speed chess player in U.S. history. Unbelievable that Tani beat him even once.

[@plywoodcarjohnson5412]

Glad this scandinavian was punished. White was very solid, and maybe those were the answers Naka was looking for. Or at least he got them. To stay solid, and convert is a sign of maturity.

[@victorcarranza2071]

Tremenda partida

[@kennethwoods6525]

Does that mean Hikaru Nakamura lost rating points?

[@Johnnyballgameus]

Only online blitz rating points. Not the serious tournament rating points.

[@kennethwoods6525]

@@Johnnyballgameus : Thank you for that. I didn't know they played online. I've seen video where they played OTB at the St. Louis Chess club.

[@phil4863]

I feel nakamura underestimated the young master

[@chessdawg]

Indeed!

[@Rusnak1973]

where are Ryo videos?

[@kennethwoods6525]

Give us Abhimanyu Mishra instead! 👍

[@Rusnak1973]

@@kennethwoods6525 i agree but Tani gets a lot of credit doesn’t he?

[@kennethwoods6525]

@@Rusnak1973 : Yes but Brewington doesn't if that's what you're suggesting. Tani's homelessness background make us want to cheer him along. His story makes chess less elitist.

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

Bcs the bishop make woden shield❤

[@xerxese191]

Tani is a natural. Hikaru excels at tactical play but positionally he is somewhat inferior to other top players. I can't believe Hikaru allowed Re5 and especially Rg5. I think he plays too much Blitz. The quality of his play has gone down in the last decade or so.

[@dowaliby1]

Tani's passed pawn was Hikaru's downfall. Surprised that Hikaru wasn't more vigilant.

[@mukongo-p9c]

Yet he lost to Naroditsky just about a month ago? Clearly not that good then if you can’t even beat Naroditsky.

[@jamesdoubleton7322]

Nakamura underestimated the kid. He deliberately ignored basic principles of the opening.

[@andersjonsson8403]

Thanks a lot for this Great video with excellent comments! I was just searching for this so impressed young guy, Tani! Keep Up the Good Work! 😊👍♟
