Fun fact: the pawn on h6, which everyone nowadays calling "Alfazero pawn", in Russia way before was referred to as "Grischuk's pawn", and you clearly can see why) So don't be surprised. It's just the thing he does.
3:33:33 i laughed hard at "before my career". THUG LIFE moment.
Danya solo > Tanya + anyone
Daniel Naroditsky is the best chess commentator. While many commentators understand the positions, he is the only one who teaches you how to see the game through the players' eyes, helping you to truly grasp their thought process.
Congrats to Sasha! Loved Danya for this! Just wish he had talked to Sasha longer and gotten Sasha to say something only Sasha would say. : ).
Like the GOT allusions Danya!π

Daniel, please stop misusing the verb "prosecuting" and using the Russian accent
