    That commentary was FIRE! Danya really makes these games come to life!

    clicking on a video titled "Magnus Carlsen vs Hikaru Nakamura" and actually seeing them play, and not some other two players, is a luxury these days.
  • @Ali_15976
    Danya is a treasure. It was his commentary that marginally increased my interest in chess alongside Gotham.
  • @shiveshyadav69
    I swear this was the one of the best commentary I heard in a long lime, loved the way you narrated the whole match, It was literally AWESOME.
  • @luchomuchooo
    I like how Magnus, after the game, still takes the time bring the pieces back! God-like yet very humble. Big respect to this man!
  • @alancosta4760
    You just understand how good is Hikaru when you see he playing against Magnus seriously in those tournaments not on the internet because he suffers so much that also means Carlsen is almost an alien.
  • @dixonnormous
    Glad they posted this cause production missed the entire game to show an entirely winning position in another match
  • @thepoofication
    Great game, great commentary, Danya always crushes these tense endings
  • @Tronny
    It's astonishing how Magnus is able to turn the screw in real time, you can see it with the eval bar how it just slowly but surely turns to whites favour, as he plays perfect moves to create weaknesses in this game which he HAD to win, against somebody like Hikaru who has insane defensive skills as well, truly displays why he is the GOAT
  • @BryanJorden
    Danya is a blessing to the chess community.
  • @strykah41
    Once the queenside and center was clarified/locked, Carlsen's positional and time pressure led to Hikaru to commit his g-pawn which spelled the game since it weakened his kingside dark squares. Brilliant patience, poise, and vision, by the GOAT.
  • it feels like that i am watching a football match. Nice work Danya 👍🏼
  • @_RDMPTN
    There's only 1 Magnus, sorry Hikaru...
  • @Jotaro-o
    Hope Hikaru will somehow manage to make an epic comeback and give us a rematch of Magnus vs Hikaru in the finale. Small chance of it right now but that makes it so much more awesome if it were to actually happen.
