1:14:35 the moment levy was speaking, got confused, then realized his mic was muted and felt embarrassed ππ
58:40 can someone please explain why not take the pawn? iβm very confused
Hikaru has perfect reasoning for knight F5 and Levy wants to debate it for 4 minutes π€¦π½ββοΈπ€£
Would be cool to get a double release of the game. One from whites perspective and the other from blacks
Everything was fine until some idiot started putting emoji nonsense on the analysis board.
Fair play human with human computer vs computer
No game can ever be or will be more interesting than the second game
OMG.. I was as nervous as danya and hess did
:You can probably do anything and still ok.
Me thinking doing nothing stupid and got 20 blunders
I think this is my favourite chess game of all time. The team matches, the foreshadowing of the Hpawn, Danya's impression of Hikaru just moments after Hikaru was doing Hikaru things, the time scramble, Hess's deadpan "I'm not rushing" Danya's neurodivergent pop offs and pure enthusiasm – WOW. β€
This is an amazing format.
Wow, what a format, absolutely nerve-racking!! Thanks to both teams for this fight and congrats to the winners.
Robert and Danya are funny,
Why is magnus not playing in this tourney? Looks fun.
Haha, gotta love Danyas passion! LOVE!
Danya was tweaking in that second game
Hilarious when the sound is on Hess/Danya and they're talking serious strategy about the position, and then it pans over to Hikaru/Levy and it's Hikaru telling a story about his favorite magnetic chess board when he was 11.
It was a fun match, Iβm surprised Danya and Hess won just because Robert was playing kind of slow. They almost flagged multiple times and he was second guessing every move. Not saying he wasnβt playing well, but it was slow.
Having watched Hess commentate and then play so many games, I think he's the most underrated GM. The guy could grind up to 2700 IMO if he really put the work in…
This format makes chess harder ππ
Hikaru is such a comical character, framing it so that he's just the condescending coach, and if they lose, well, it was Levi's fault. "It's not serious, it's just for content." "If I was playing ….". Levi played along, said the loss was his fault for pushing while Hikaru nods happily, but there were lots of moments after that when they could have won if Hikaru had seen the truth in his crystal ball. He seems to be incapable of just conversing and discussing, it's all just Wisdom from On High, where Robert and Danya had lot of genuine interpersonal fun with and respect for each other.
Danya Danya !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an amazing match!!!! I love the energy and compassion from Daniel and Hess together.
This format certainly got some future.
A battle. Fun.
Another fun episode of the Anish Giri bashing showππ
felt danya's hype through the screen tbhhhh
Danya and Robert nerves of steel!!
2:07:15 the perfect ROOK G2
Exciting games. Danya and Robert worked better as a team than Hikaru and Levy. Pairs work better when the two have the same skill level. That put Hikaru/Levy at a disadvantage.
Levy always take the L π
Zzzzπͺπ΄π₯± its no fun with no play
Although i didn't understand 98% of their analysis during the games but the experience was so great and i love it so much
Thank god dania team won at the end
Iβve always been the biggest Danya and Hess fan, but never have I screamed and clapped for a chess match like I have today. Seeing the eval bar knowing there was a win for them made me root harder and their immaculate teamwork is what brought them home. This was the most exciting chess match Iβve ever witnessed. Also Dannyβs emojis all over the board were excellent haha. Well done teams!
10:20 put the fire in Danya
Wow! Danya and Robert are really a team! Best luck for them in the final π
Danya & Hess absolutely deserved the win!! π₯
Imagine if he mouse slipped at the endπ I dont know why hes playing on a touch pad
When is final
1:40:00 Hikaru at 110%
I think the switch between commentary is pretty jarring; would really like to be able to listen to continuous strategizing from each side separately. Maybe two videos?
The end of the game was hilarious to watch. "WAIT WAIT WAITT"
