Adopt-a-Danny ft. GM Anish Giri!

The beloved series Adopt-A-Danny returns with its third father-to-be, GM Anish Giri!

The show's second guest, world number-eight GM Wesley So, adopted Danny in both the 5+1 and 1+1 segments to become the first to double-adopt the self-proclaimed Super IM in April. He joined GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, who signed the adoption papers in the first edition of the series

Giri is currently the 10th-highest rated player in the world. Aside from his chess exploits, he is well-known for his sometimes cryptic trash talk on Twitter.

IM Danny Rensch will be looking to avoid "adoption" (losing in 10 consecutive games) against strong grandmasters across three different blitz and bullet time controls.

Hikaru has adopted Eric Hansen. Eric has adopted Danny. So Hikaru is Danny's grandpa!

2:52:49 Giri snatching a draw from the jaws of victory. That was hilarious!

[cookies]

Anish's impression of Hikaru is priceless lmao

[coosoorlog]

I feel like Anish was not in form here. He missed many critical drawing lines.

Danny's baby-like laugh is the best :D

[frozenmoon]

Danny's best liner: *You and your GM logic*

[OutsidePawn]

very nice of Giri to have apologized at the end. Even though he didn't literally say it, I think we all know what the apology was really about. Danny as usual was fantastic. Being a gentleman and avoiding a really awkward moment.

LOL 3:06:30 Anish saying Danny knows his weakness, which is basically getting challenged and losing a little of his otherwise flawless temper :)

[Inedits]

I just love when GM of this level go mad! Great show!! Anish is an acquired taste!

[blueman]

Wow now the GMs know xqc 🤤 1:31:04
Edit: he definitely knows xqc, nym and lot other streamers and took their name many times in the stream. Specificly at 1:52:04

I love how during the chennis joke, Danny keeps sneaking peeks at Anish just to make sure that he's being annoying enough hahaha

[ratbat]

THAT WHat she said epic i love it when you focous danny

[cutiecutie]

2:30:11 disgusting promotion of their slow interface

[aryamansingh]

1:06:00 is prophetic stuff from Danny with Anish streaming now

[Daniean]

Anish's Hikaru impersonation at 1:31 is so funny

[adityavv]

1:34:20 that’s how Anish draws all the time huh ! He thinks how the other player would play in that position and ends up playing like him, so it becomes a match of equals then and eventually draws .

[piyush]

What is this event Adopt-A-Danny about??

[pradyumnamundhe]

Danny spitting facts ..That aged well 1:32:12

[harveyli]

Well, we need to do Hikaru adopt a danny

[Vincentovich]

Annoying how obvious it is that rensch let Anish adopt him at the very end...
