IM Not A GM is back with a sequel, and it will feature some of the most famous non-GM players in the chess community. This week's matchup...Danny Rensch vs Lawrence Trent!

The format is similar to that of the Speed Chess Championship, except for the addition of a halftime break and slightly less time allotted for each segment. The participants will play 75 minutes of 5+1 blitz, 45 minutes of 3+1 blitz, and 25 minutes of 1+1 bullet chess in each match, with breaks scheduled for the players halfway through both the five-minute and three-minute portions.

Cant have great commentary without Robert man, he is superb.

40:35 Robert: "there's checkmate on e8 as well.."
41:15 Aman: "well, if anyone had trouble visualising, hopefully Danny is able to show you exactly what Robert meant."

Listening to Aman and Robert during the end of the five minute segment is hilarious. Man...

Craziest part of the match is 2:59:57 onwards culminating in Lawrence Trent getting a major shock.

[betabenja]

it's amazing you can't hear the music from the club containing the women's bathroom that aman is broadcasting from.

Around @22:00 ish

Aman: Eval bar shimmey is way down

Anybody see the Graham Norton interview with Ryan Gosling where Ryan talks about "shimmeying his way to the trophy?" Irony is pretty funny with the mug and Danny losing that game.

dang! is it just me ?
or danny looking 5 years younger.

[Livestreamlurker]

Really thought this was going to be a close match.

[Orwaha]

That was crazy. If Danny hadn’t hung that rook he would’ve been leading for longer. I’m very impressed with his play because I know how good Lawrence Trent is.

[BobBiswas]

Danny Rench is such a sport!! The best Chess commentator + player!!

[surana]

Lawrence looks like a bald skinny chris evans

[geebster.]

Usually people with a last name like Rensch dont get defeated so soundly by the French. Definitely a surprising match.

[parvinbanu]

2:47:28 instead of rook e8, trent could have played knight f6.I think it was winning ih the rook stays on e6 then kh7xg6 then rook e6xg6 then queen runs away then bxg7 then bf8 takes bg7 then qf7xbg7 checkmate. Is my answer correct plzz tell me chess. com 🤔

[richardcochrane]

For all that people take the piss out of Lawrence, he gave Danny a MAJOR dribbling!!!!

[horstschwittula]

This is unwatchable with Trents face on the screen

[chrisparrhesia]

Danny is def the peoples champ... The people are devastated...

[eduardogoncalves]

Why does Lawrence have a Britney Spears microphone on the thumbnail?
