31:12 *I think most grandmasters would have resigned in this position, but hikaru was able to play this game for 15-20 moves* Wow, you can see that, if someone is not careful enough, then hikaru can defeat them,,, even in hopeless position
Magnus was right. Nepo just isn’t as good in bullet and blitz. Nakamura and Alireza are just a step behind Magnus when it comes to speed. Don’t see Niemann having a great time against Magnus unless he gets in Magnus head
@@Puschit1 Most people don't find him amusing, just check the overwhelming negative feedback in chat. He's like the soccer dad at the backyard cookout you hope you don't get stuck in a conversation with. Leko, Danya and Judit are light years ahead of him with commentating, not to mention there's a large handful of players not in this tourney that would do a much better job than him. Suppose when you're a top exec you get to decide that you'll get the limelight when you want it even if it's a worse product for all us.
I realise Danny loves his job, and he isn't awful at it, I just don't feel he adds anything in commentary. He performs as a colour commentary person, which just isn't useful for chess here where we really want to understand what is happening.
You know why are thing's so confusing you never know when the matches are days weeks in between . Thought they were going Paris to finish it not sure why lol but now they are playing what to confusing to follow and get rid of this guy Danny
Danny's commentary was lackluster, especially compared to Danya (may he rest in peace). I found he was just repeating Hess or stating the obvious. I found the question about lofi girl cringe. The questions in general were so light and uninteresting.
The Semifinals and Finals will be played in Paris from September 6th - 9th. These are the Quarterfinals which were all played online. Hope that eases your confusion. Also hope English isn't your first language.
Literally barely any commentary at all. Talked over like 5 games because the match was "effectively over". It was still chess, get someone decent to commentate
Hess is great when he's paired with Danya. Rensch should be banned from ever commentating again. It must be exhausting for Hess to pull the dead weight all match.
I don't recall many over-the-board bullet tournaments, and am not so sure I want to see them smashing hands together in the time scrambles. If their ratings are comparable to their online ratings, Magnus should win by about 19-9 with about 99% odds, but I wonder if there won't be significant equalization of speed in manual moves? Also, if online ratings reflect actual reality, which I do not expect, Hikaru is expected to defeat Firouzja 16-12 with 83% odds.
Danny needs to go... trying to watch this with my daughters and im having to explain AF is always fun... bring back Danya from the russian mafia basement
@@thiruselvam6530 if rook takes d8, then black rook retakes. If Qh6, then black rook checkmates on d1 right? White queen's only move after rook retakes is f3 as it protects the d1 square (preventing checkmate), and after queen exchanges the king has room to escape (that's what the computer wanted before the fork even).
@@alissonreinaldosilva1119yeahh i said either queen h6 or rook takes d8 or else there would be ice skaters💀 but i clearly dont know why Qf4 is blunder
Please please stop using Danny Rensch for these big games. This is not at all a hateful comment but David, Danya, and Tanya are all far far far better options. It makes my heart sink to see he will be commenting for 4 hours on such amazing match ups. I hope the channel considers this constructive feedback.
I agree, it feels like one GM commentating with a "I've dabbled in chess, but I'm more business side of things" duo. Let's get the real commentators back please
75mins for 5min games = 7.5 games, assuming zero increment 25mins for 1min games = 12.5 games, assuming zero increment Ian won the match. Hikaru can stick to flag-chess.
"Smart chess" predictions is not very smart Hikaru up 3 points with 9 minutes to go in bullet gave him a 79% chance of winning the match. It literally should be like 99.9% at that stage. I bet it had nepo favored as well when he was ahead 4.5-1.5 Smh Magnus 95-5 is accurate and the only reason it was 5 is just in case nepo had the start that he had. Otherwise its
@@strek45 Maybe I'm not following the SCC as closely this year, but I don't see him getting the crazy scores he got last year, like not losing a single match to Fabi, and beating Gukesh with crazy 20+ points or something
He obliterated poor Minh le, only wins he got were when Magnus disconnected twice. And Arjun is a world class youngster who doesn't tilt, so of course he didnt dominate him. He played easier pairings years prior, except when he lost to MVL in the semis 2 years ago. Hikaru didnt dominate Jose like he maybe couldve, but Ian is again nothing to sneeze at.
Danny Rensch is so good at knowing when an average human doesn't understand winning positions and goes over to the analysis board while other commentators think it might be obvious and don't think about showing move sequences. Or they just don't think about showing sequences at all.
Danya got sacked because he cant hide his Bias. A commentator should always be netural if you cant be neutral you should not be casting. Odds Magnus 90 % Hans 10%, Alireza 60% Hikaru 40%
Where did he show any bias? Because he conducted an interview and actually let the person speak? It doesn't seem he got "sacked" or "placed in the basement" he has been commentating half of the tourney while Hess was commentating the other half.
Where is Danya being held? Please release him. We miss him. We are willing to negotiate.
I am praying every moment for his safe return😪😪😭😭
@@NotAndySthank you. He needs it right now. Hopefully he can escape the chess mafia
I think he is flying to Paris for the semi-finals and finals. Danny Rensch said on twitter than Danya did a great job on the interview.
Danya was detained by danny rensch after he allowed hans niemann to bad mouth his website. He is currently in a holding cell.

Complaining about going to Paris 😂😂
Hikaru is crazy
He's been travelling the world, especially Europe, for literally 30 years playing chess. It's just an inconvenience now.
He's right Paris is a shithole
Magnus was right. Nepo just isn’t as good in bullet and blitz. Nakamura and Alireza are just a step behind Magnus when it comes to speed. Don’t see Niemann having a great time against Magnus unless he gets in Magnus head
Alireza may have surpassed everyone of right now in Speed chess
Nah Alireza is crazy rn
@@MJS-WhyDoubt it. But wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes the clear number 1 speed chess player within the next couple years
Hikaru is still the king. Alireza might have gotten closer though, since he did beat him in the BCC. Magnus doesn’t like Bullet at all.
Alireza is in on different level under time pressure

He is the guy who just fills the silence. We need GM tier commentators for these high level matches.
Couldn't agree more..

Nothing against Danny Rench, but please no.
What did danya tweet? And why did he delete?

Those long slow transitions often cause us to miss their post-game reactions, and miss more stuff during games.

The shorter the time control the better the Hikaru

Only magnus can match hikaru when it comes to bullet..you need to have +3 pts ahead of naka before entering 1+1 time
Bro only hikaru can sometimes give a tough fight to magnus, magnus is much better in speed chess overall
it would be hhans vs hikaru or hans vs alireza
yup magnus vs hikaru is inevitable magnus gonna crush hans like nothing ,but alireza might win
Alireza just smoked in the BCC. Wtf you talking about?
