Two of my favorite players ever! This is going to be great.

There are a lot of things to improve in terms of commentary of course, for example, 1:08:00 and a minute after: both speakers do not provide meaningful insights regarding the position but rather just phrase the players. It is rare for them to show any particular sequence or a quick analysis to viewers using the analytical board and arrows.

They really don't know how to do commentary. I think they should bring danya

hou yifan keeps on beating women player ass even though she is retired and have a full time day job. She is 100% a 'what if', if she had done she chess full time and not tried to get into college. with how difficult its to get into college in china, she was focusing on her studies by as late as 15 and not giving chess all the time.
