I hope all is well at home, Danny. You do a great job of making these videos entertaining and informative.

Hey man, I hope everything is okay . Love the coverage.

[yasam]

it's a great pleasure to watch Daniel's videos.

[akanosf]

Still love these type of videos, they help a lot to improve and entertain at the same time :D

Excellent analysis as usual, Danny. Just wanted to clarify something you said at 11:46. I believe Aronian's opponent in the 2017 final was Ding Liren. He defeated MVL in the semifinal :)

DANIEL RENSCH, please stop apologising 100 times every video. You do what you think is best, show us the line you want to show us, just don't waste 5 minutes every video explaining and apologising for doing something and not doing another and we'll love you just the same or even more!

Danny i love your explanations and your effort so much! Please make vids for the world cup.

Great game and not spoiling the outcome made the video really exciting

Hope all is well at home. You are favorite chess commentator. Your chess.com videos are the best.

[shadmansakib]

Great analysis. I like how the suspense was kept till the very end.

[AhmedAdel-cjim]

Loved the plot twist there. Great job, Danny.

Either Levon got over confident or got lazy looking for the more practical win, that cost him the game like 1500 players do all the time🤔

[dustinirwin]

Hooray for not spoiling the result. You even spoiled an SCC result in the recent analysis of the Duda WC game. Can you *PLEASE* refrain from spoiling things? No movies, no chess games, no impeachment proceedings, no nada. Please and thanks :) otherwise great! Hope all is well at home.

I don't understand how Aronian could miss Rf3, even in time trouble, even while pissed off about missing the win. It's absolutely glaring.

[danielguel]

Either MVL or Radjabov will make the Candidates for the fist time
