Maxime Vachier-Lagrave vs Danny Rensch in Bullet

Maxime Vachier-Lagrave pops onto Chess.com for some surprise bullet games against IM Danny Rensch. International David Pruess joins Danny in preparation for commentary in Blitz Death Match 34. Enjoy!

[@wfcyellow]

When I watch this I always think the guy at the top looks like he has hordes of zombies trying to get in through his window to feast on his brains

[@suicide_king6804]

lmao

[@herzwatithink9289]

These blitz kings win a *disgusting* amount of games from lost positions. Anyway, great show.

[@surreptitiouswritings]

I do agree. Though, time-management is a large part of the game and you can see who is calculating at a decisively higher speed. Danny did get into many "better" positions, but he never had the time to do anything with them.

[@t.alexanderlystad291]

I had no idea David Pruess was this awesome

[@60xFPS]

The description says "International David Pruess" lol

[@Christodoulosk]

Nice video tyx for uploading!

[@benparsons1067]

Danny is the Michael Scott of the chess world. My side hurts from all this hilarity.

[@Justs99171]

Danny is obnoxious and his humor SUCKS

[@MartyClevenger91]

This is the best vid Denny has ever made!!

[@Adam-hj1hc]

24:22 sounds exactly like me - "why do i always have to blunder like an IDIOT!?" - subscribed Danny.
- "nobody makes me bleed my own blood.. nobody" - love the random voices and movie quotes.

[@musical_lolu4811]

Danny Rensch the MVL Tactics Trainer.

[@fabriziosanto5574]

You and David are the best

[@ConvictJ96]

The audio feedback plus the delay makes this delightfully awkward.

[@OmniaBonaBonis]

why is Maxime playing patzers?

[@chessatom7786]

Tru

[@Wtahc]

Hes playing chess, not patzers

[@pbezunartea]

Great video!

[@richwaight]

Fun vid Danny :) I was rooting for ya

[@richglanzav]

at 22.12 there is no mate on e1 because black has to take the queen first due to the pin on his back rank. although it still looks very dangerous if he collects the knight on f3 allowing bh3+ forcing whites king into the mide of the board

[@gratitude62]

brilliant Danny, this is beyond superlatives.

[@taimanov924]

this was awesome lol good sport danny

[@ldeans5620]

After watching lots of vids and listening to commentary from "pretty good players", I start feeling pretty humble about my own abilities

[@ldeans5620]

This was fun to watch. David Pruess is more fun to listen to than mvl in my opinion, and Danny needs his input from time to time.

[@MeegMaster]

"Is that your Irish accent?" hahaha I'm dying.

[@Walkerrn30]

Apparently nz accent is wallabies and dingoes

[@Joshisgood2]

Dang, Danny that was rough.

[@adityaguin4913]

What piece set is that?

[@raphexe]

awesome and entertaining ! :)

[@filippomiatto1289]

"Resigntown, population: me"

[@stefanholbek2449]

Great entertainment! ;O)

[@EgoCZ]

I love those accents. I love those chess also of course

[@dabeamer42]

"Resignstown, population Me"

[@filipstanisic7139]

Zwischenzug ja Zwischenzug looool. Brilliant accent love it.^^

[@MrShampoopy109]

I love the Dodgeball reference.

[@ddmannion]

MVL, crazy good.

[@coosoorlog]

MVL concentrates on finding great moves. That's the key.

[@Froonten]

At 4:03, could he not have moved that differently? First move his bishop from c4 to f7, then take the rook with the knight, then check him, and take his queen with the night? or am i missing something here? :S

[@nich3683]

+victor front After Bf7, black is not obliged to take the bishop, and can actually play h6, and after the knight moves, white loses his bishop on f7. Bf7 is bad.

[@michalp.8959]

I am just a bit confused: there seem to be two different Maximes Vachier-Lagraves, one who wears glasses and speaks with a strong French accent, another who wears no glasses and speaks a perfect American English...

[@J0sho495]

Read the description. It's a co-commentary group with Danny Rensch and David Pruess.

[@michalp.8959]

I after a year I got it. The guy in yellow not only is not MVL, he doesn´t play at all!

[@wnd9434]

Me too.. at first i also thought it is MVL

[@patmetheny2462]

MVL te gana mientras se ríe, habla en otro idioma y le dice a su rival cuáles son sus mejores jugadas.

[@Diougnes]

Danny is great!

[@jimkyle8008]

Danny does a very good English accent. He sounds quite like the Ginger GM.

[@radar9561]

"International David Pruess"

[@mithunroy-bj9ro]

dani....I like u man

[@Leonteplitsky]

David is awesome.

[@TheInfallibleChase]

In the description it says "International David Pruess." You should add 'Master' after 'International,' Danny-boy.

[@TheInfallibleChase]

+Chase Bailey Also, I had no idea David was in his 30s! He certainly doesn't look it, lol

[@misteratoz]

Vishwanathan Anand's last name is pronounced Aaaah (as in say aaah) + nund

[@Eaglejorge]

2:50

[@GiorgioSuarez1]

MVL so strong

[@Pinky0579]

Damn... This guy is that computer generated voice...

[@samuelshaulov4623]

Who is that guy?

[@andrewroberts8139]

Pruess is just ridiculously cute.

[@Kphyl]

Danny sounds a lot like Lance Burton

[@raisinsunn]

Sweet! That German accent :)

[@matttalbott5483]

daniel rensch is king!

[@literally.anything___97]

danny is SO FUNNY when he is hoplessly lost against a grandmaster and his mouth isnt taped, "resignstown population me"" hilarious

[@finndol8600]

Im from new zealand and your accent impression was actually pretty good

[@DRD363]

im like a bigger mvl fan now and like less of a rensch gan!

[@chessloverontwitch]

lol

[@Ulujmf]

You guys need to update your french expression, nobody in France say sacrebleu

[@thomasalicea8877]

lmao

[@perfect_harmony4348]

trashtalkking back in buisiness yo

[@edmoala]

I feel like pruess helping you out is cheating lol

[@mikiyasyigezu2744]

wow that was bad chess 11.5 to 0.5. i need to play u sometimes

[@literally.anything___97]

lol dannys his nz accent is soooooo wrong, lol

[@fastpace101]

Too weak too slow.

[@alfredoortiz7487]

Porque hablan demasiado pierden, tampoco forman equipo consistente.

[@michael2244]

Danny is a noob at chess

[@gavinjones8543]

Fantastic chess, dreadful british impression.
