Hao does he do it

[@davidchang8428]

watch your WANGuage wascally wabbit

[@buxeessingh2571]

I have always wanted a series like this for the Candidates matches. Thanks, Daniel!

[@jefft5854]

Interesting video! The game reminds of early Karpov style.

[@northshores7319]

Thanks for this series on the players. Nobody does it better than you.

[@WilliamJonesChess]

01:56 phlegmatic = (of a person) having an unemotional and calm character. I learnt a new word from Danny. Playing the Dutch and getting away with it. He really is a bold player.

[@subudjj9368]

William Jones Chess Show Daniel has great diction and his use of words is exact as his analysis

[@WilliamJonesChess]

@@subudjj9368 True

[@WilliamJonesChess]

@@subudjj9368 I remember Danny King writing the book "Winning with the Najdorf". He explained ideas well in that book. That is a reason I play the Najdorf!

[@davidchang8428]

I thought it meant full of phlegm

[@finfelagund]

Wait a moment... Wang plays cards with Ding and still doesn´t consider him a friend?

[@james64ibm]

He plays cards AGAINST Ding :D

[@davidhodgson1385]

Without you Danny, and amazing video I would not get through lockdown, please could you do a video on John nunn game

[@James__123]

Brilliant vid, thanks!

[@paulmeyer1756]

Another super profile! Thank you!

[@kimtaewoo3274]

Nice counterattack! Great analysis

[@davidblue819]

Wang Hao World Champion is somehow a funny idea, but it would be entertaining. And chess history shows that eccentrics like David Bronstein shouldn't be written off.

[@jantorejohansen8547]

I usually follow the same strategy as Wang. Start with a selfcomposed opening that would leave the king exposed, then try to dodge check mate for the next ten moves or so. Wang just proved nothing wrong with that plan. So I'm impressed... Anyway, was already looking forward to the candidate, but these presentations work brillantly to turn up expectations :)

[@SimonPiano42]

One example doesn't prove a point. Actually the point of this video is that Wang Hao is so strong he can get away with unnecessary risks like this. I would strongly advise you to castle, as does Daniel King ;) as Fixpoint said well, "it is easy to take risk against somebody who is 300 points below you".

[@rastrisfrustreslosgomez544]

@@SimonPiano42 WTF that's not the point of the video, the point is to show how good he is at calculating variations. As Daniel King said "he is a great calculator"

[@Shockprowl]

Ohhh, that was a SUPERB game!!!!

[@StabilityReport]

Wang is indeed enjoyable. Just one question. 14. Nb5 seems natural and quite crushing. What is the catch?

[@Robster543210]

Excellent analysis. The game should be titled: "Living on the Edge."

[@MrSilvershane]

Great preview Dan. Any news on whether Hao and Liren are still able to play the tournament?

[@CaradhrasAiguo49]

The wider Russian government restrictions will not affect the players, so they can still play

[@yudistiraliem135]

Wang Hao was also a brilliant table tennis player!

[@crushedhearts]

The table tennis Wang Hao is a different person haha

[@nilsp9426]

Most of all I hope that all players will have their bright moments and score at least one important win. But personally I would love a close battle between Caruana and Ding at the top. Somehow I think that they are the biggest threat to Magnus. Caruana having been close once already and Ding being a difficult opponent for Magnus (+1 =7 -0 from Magnus' perspective).

[@TobiKooiman]

11:52 Qe7 Bc4! Bd5 O-O-O Bxc4 Rh1+ is also worth noting imo

[@rastrisfrustreslosgomez544]

5:55 I would actually pick black in here. Black position seems like so much fun, you can try a lot of different things there while white has a single path forward that's try to get 'em in the king side. I think black's position is very non-committal so it gives a lot of room to test wacky stuff

[@sabonsab68]

Thank you

[@strong8705]

Unbelievable. For someone who does not differentiate win from loss (it's good to be calm) to be in chess elite. So, great play can compensate the lack of killer instinct.

[@jeprotable]

now that’s brilliant

[@marcwordsmith]

what happens on 19.... fxe4 20. fxe5, Qe7? I am not seeing White's knockout punch in that line. Somebody help please? Also, simply 19...Qe7 (without even accepting the sacrifice) looks all right to me.

[@Karoltubyl]

Its really simple. U just ignore everything as White and play 0-0-0 and Rh1 and threaten to mate on h8 as showed in one of the variations by Daniel.

[@higherthoughtthecannabisga3828]

@@Karoltubyl thank you very much!

[@columbo-zoli]

Well, White was the bolder one... she went all out... but lost eventually. Black "only" defended and found spectacular saving moves because he had no choice.

[@FrancescoOmissis]

Will there be problems for Hao and Liren regarding coronavirus?

[@postnubilaphoebus96]

At move 10 I liked white more, but at move 15 Hao's position looks better to me. I'm not sure if my intuition is correct here, but I find it funny how the evaluation of a position can switch just by making normal-looking moves.

[@Badbentham]

Yeah, as many stronger ladies do, she really went for it. 11.d:c5, indicated by Danny, was certainly a prudent choice, with a highly enjoyable position for white. Her choice of going all-in for the attack closed the position, and allowed black to coordinate; generally a bad idea against the bishop pair. ;)

[@marcolucas8192]

nice hair! I would like to have strong hair like that, it's very masculine! And thanks for the chess lesson!

[@hhgygy]

Great game by black although he had a bit of luck there, indeed.

[@AartSnikkelbaard03]

Isn't this the Christmas tree variation of the Dutch? 😀

[@trevorochmonek9024]

Why amateurs are always wasting their time with learning opening names of stupid and bad openings? Instead learn main openings and don't waste your time with garbage. Life is too short!

[@AartSnikkelbaard03]

@@trevorochmonek9024 I don't know... 'why do some people choose to get fed up with every tiny thing in life?' is another such question. Just breathe slowly and the frustration will pass. I just know the name because of GM Simon Williams playing it on his channel. 🤷‍♂️

[@Narrowcros]

very tactical game, rxc3 wow

[@ig2d]

will he have to be quarantined?

[@huddunlap3999]

the good player is always lucky.

[@fixpontt]

it is easy to take risk against somebody who is 300 points below you, elite players will eat him alive in case of questionable openings

[@rastrisfrustreslosgomez544]

questionable?? king's gambit's questionable, the dutch is sound

[@jeprotable]

she’s way more elites than all of us commentators

[@dekaasploeg]

If these kinds of wild swindles against opposition 300 points lower rated are the best we may expect from GM Wang Hao, then I expect him to come in last.

[@Black.History.365]

Game starts @ 4:00

[@odin1313]

'' Chess player who goes his own way undermines safe space of his female opponent''

[@varishnakov]

I play like wang.

[@JJ-kl7eq]

2:02 Not sure mentioning a word with “phlegm” in it was a good idea while talking about a Chinese player. Coronavirus and all....
