      @jonathangarcia273 Kramnik is only hated in the US bubble because he represents the strength of Soviet chess. He was hated anyway so he doesn't give a flying fk. Danya lives in the US bubble where 800 rated 16 year old kids feed their own delusions. Even 100 years from now, Berlin wall will remember us of Kramnik. The way he crushed Kasparov in his prime will be studied forever. Danya and his kindergarten kids will not be remembered even by their own relatives.

Lazavik and Woodward finished at 8.5/13 and 8/13 respectively, and clearly showed that their OTB blitz ratings are just massively deflated from lack of OTB play -- not that their online performances are suspect.

    classy Naroditsky. But what would be legendary would be Danya doing his impressions while meeting and engaging the players he's imitating.

    One of the best ambassadors for chess. That is the real reason why he has been a target for jealous accusations.

    It is huge achievement, but I'd say that there was more people rooting for him to make it to the final 8 than any other of those within striking distance.
