John really deserves a GM title. His awareness and techniques are so much stronger than any other steamer IMs.

[joncleek]

Naroditsky impression of John is hilarious 21:00

[hthought]

Absolutely love this kind of tournament by the way, an IM one, really cool idea.

[christopherjohnson]

Why does this start after four games are already over?

[hthought]

Love Daniel's immitation of John lol.

[monacosera]

David desperately holding onto his last name in this one, very close to losing it.

[gloriagentile]

Love Daniel's imitations :'D

[williamsmith]

Even though the score doesn't reflect it, David did a very good job against John, well played by both of them.

[Wisefish]

52:30 John trained Andrew, so that would make sense. Probably back in Andrew's expert/FM days.

Danny Bartholomew!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😄😄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[pierce]

Let's have a tournament called GM not a Super GM where Robert Hess and Naroditsky play and Hikaru and Magnus make fun of them for how bad they are the entire time. Why are these guys such a-holes?

[likruesco]

Naroditsky's JB impression at 21:04 was on point, had me rolling.

[guyscounter]

Patzer not a Master Speed Chess Championship, I wonder when would that be?

[orpheus]

I like that Danny's roasting himself while impersonating John haha

[hthought]

Pruess looks like he is constantly smiling.

[MichelNabil]

I love robert and danial commentary, very informative and entertaining

[bennieblanks]

Anyone know where I can find the first four games?

[fadeitluie]

David went from 2450 ELO to 2050 in 2 hours 😳

[KingoftheJuice]

Can someone explain why this starts in the middle? Is this part 2?
