Daniel Naroditsky is one of the greatest chess commentators of our time. The ability to seamlessly explain the thought processes of BOTH players, follow the game, and keep the commentary engaging and interesting is something that is truly amazing.

[LuvLetter]

god that commentator made the game even more amazing than it already was! "as magnus takes a sip of his caffeinated coca cola" hahahaha

[The-Rest-of-Us]

Narrated like an action packed football game, well done 👏🏼

[drumjosh]

I like that you have two of the best players of our time playing head to head here, and the whole comment section is about Daniel. The commentating speaks for itself.

Danya is such an amazing asset to the chess community

[gutar]

I was just thinking "these are the longest seconds I've ever experienced" before realizing it adds time after each move.

[CareyFan]

When chess becomes a full blown esport with thousands of spectators in the audience in a full blown arena like league of legends, I want Danya to be the play by play commentator.

He understands the game so well and can not only explain it clearly, but engage the audience masterfully.

9:21 I love how Magnus throws Hikaru's rook and then decides to hit the clock before fixing the position - Hikaru doesn't seem to be happy :D

[Incepter.]

Magnus Carlsen vs Hikaru Nakamura is probably one of the most interesting games of all time considering that they both have an adventage at different chess times.

This commentary is next level. Danya is amazing at explaining and helping us follow the game.

[isaacorlich]

[Euquila]

Came for the game, stayed for the amazing caster: Daniel Naroditsky

[Shap]

Naroditsky's commentary is perfect, always a treat.

[danilopablo]

you guys should hire/train more people like Daniel Naroditsky to do the commentary, really compelling and easy to follow, you feel the battle that's going on
amazing

[szabolcsnagy]

2:42 the way he just commentates Magnus drinking is hillarious xD

[sthembisomabaso]

I wonder how many games these two have drawn ever since they started playing 😲

[planc-ish]

I feel like this is the first time I fully understood a game of chess.
Really shows how a great commentator can really change the experience.
No wonder why the whole comment section is talking about them.

[ryantres]

daniel adds nothing but emotion to his commentary, he lets the players play chess and he just adds excitement, it is different than what agadmator does and i enjoyed it

0:34 "I don't know let's just castle" - Hikaru Nakamura

[phathosimani]

Those last 10 seconds are like an anime battle 💀
