This Garry guy is putting up a serious challenge for Hikaru, I’m sure once he gets younger he’ll be able to beat him consistently, maybe even become world champion.

Dude's commentary had me feeling like I was watching the last 2 min of game 7 in the NBA finals lol

[Kelberoth]

Every once in a while Garry will remind us that he's Kasparov.

What a privilege to watch this game. Daniel is also out of this world with the casting.

[Jessedoespoo]

The body language of Gary show just how much of a rush he gets still from the game. Love to see it

[WolfieVI]

I laughed out loud so hard at the both players head bopping at 4:10, as if they're communicating telepathically

[kneelbeforeiskeletor]

Amazing how Danya gradually turns into a Spanish football commentator. Great game, great review.

[LetsPlayCrazy]

THIS is what I want from commentators.

Not just "oh the eval bar moved, he must have blundered!"

[jfields]

Danya is getting good at this. I don't know many people who can make an opposite-color bishop ending exciting

[christianewing]

Garry became World Champion before Hikaru was even born

[TANGENT-iowk]

0:35 was a unnoticed bit of sportsmanship. Gary forgot to wait for Hikaru to tap his clock and just made his move, and Hikaru said it's fine and just gave him the entire move on his own time.

25 years older and way past his prime, grew up learning chess from books, no internet, no engines, no tech what so ever and he just defeated one of the best chess players in the world, Kasparov is the greatest of all time.

[DuncanEduardo]

Amazing win for Garry, at his age, against top blitz player in world.

[usaherobrine]

9:39 Kasparov's face is just pulsating

[adelsweezy]

FOr all what i have seen in chess
Kasparov is the most agressif player

[BREAKocean]

Garry is that intergenerational part of chess connecting the Modern Era to the one before it. It's cool seeing someone who didn't grow up with engines hold his own against someone that did

[saptaparnoburmanroy]

I love how physically expressive Garry is.

[bloodywolftr]

This is by far the best commentary I have ever listened and a great game for the GMs.Great job Daniel!

[michaelgraflmusic]

Kasparov patting his head with both his hands when his time was running out is one of the cutest things I've seen in a while.

[nopeyt]

This Gary guy plays like he was once a reigning world champion for like 15 years or something.

[albibushi]

Watching Garry celebrate the win so energetically just made my day. What a legend.
