The first day of the second game of the 38th Ryuo title match is being played, between Yuki Sasaki (sente) and Sota Fujii (the Ryuo title holder). The time control is 8 hours per player over two days, and the match is a best of 7 (Fujii leads 1-0).
The opening this game was bishop exchange. Sente played rapid-advancing silver, while gote played reclining silver.

>Dude, if you think he fiddles on Stockfish, you'd be out of a job in an hour. That is not what a second does, at all. Dubov is one of those creative opening players. He is renowned for finding ideas without the computer. That is his calling card. There is a ton of that, too. There is, of course, a ton of sitting with Stockfish and pressing space, which is a ton of tedious, annoying, unpleasant work, but, I mean, not everyone is cut out for being the job of a second.

And why shouldn't beginners trade off their pieces? Because it's a "bad habit" they need to unlearn later? They hardly know how the pieces move, and will probably just hang them if they don't trade them off. If the goal is to master the skill of "don't hang pieces and take free pieces," it's easier when there are less pieces on the board. The advice is also given in the context of online blitz games, where the overall strategy is to maintain more or less equal material at a minimum, and win or at least draw in the endgame. GM Hambleton makes the point that, especially at the lowest levels, he is almost always up a piece in the endgame even when the material is equal because his opponents don't use their king effectively. The games in the series prove what he says is correct. He develops his pieces, then makes "random pawn moves" (often hanging the pawns in the process) and wins often enough for his rating to steadily climb.

If you're playing longer-form OTB games, the strategy has to be adapted. Winning on time is much less of a factor. Probably you should not make "random pawn moves" that give away your pawns for free. (For reference, in the series, GM Hambleton continues to offer his opponent free pawns in this way until about 1600 blitz rating.) Otherwise, his advice is still all solid. Focus on the fundamentals. Develop your pieces in the opening. Don't hang your pieces. In the endgame, push passed pawns, activate your king, attack enemy pawns. Practice your tactics. Don't neglect the fundamentals to pursue seemingly clever ideas because more often than not you're probably creating weaknesses you didn't foresee.

Even ignoring that you already answered yourself in the second sentence, let's pretended everything you said was true do you think most people would find that a fun way to play?
I'm an intermediate club player with a FIDE rating and even I find endgame grinds boring ,most new players that get baited into this "trade everything and win equal endgames" nonsense will just decide chess is a boring game and quit, not only that if enough of those people are around even new players that haven't got brainwashed by this shit will experience the most boring playstyle often and will be more likely to quit chess too.
This is to say this shit isn't just objectively a bad teaching method on the individual level, it actively hurts chess as a whole same as people shilling the london or other system openings

His argument is a submissive and weak appeal to some kind of nebulously defined etiquette. "It's technically allowed by the rules, but...". I don't mind this style of argument if the appeal is being made to the governing body with the intent to argue a rule change proposal. If you use it the way Pruess is here, just trying to characterize Hikaru as unethical on this basis, with no suggestion the rules ought to be changed, you're engaging sniveling rat speak for losers.

>they are such vastly different situations that the analogy is completely irrelevant
Nta but you're low iq. The point of the argument is to claim that "I was just following orders" is in principle (i.e. categorically) not a valid defense.
An actually good debunk to that would be an argument aiming to show that "I was just following orders" isn't an invalid defense categorically because its invalidity within the context of the nuremberg trials stems from some particular aspect of the holocaust case.

copy pasting a plebbit comment about this because it's hilarious
>Just keeping it strictly objective/descriptive without going into any kind of analysis into "what might have been wrong with him"...
>I don't watch a whole lot of his normal streams, so maybe some of this is normal, like getting angry and throwing his headset around. But stuff that just doesn't seem like Danya at all would be nodding off mid-game, losing games on time (like, his opponents would still have 2+ minutes left), pleading/begging like "I just need 1 more game, this is where I turn it around, this one I'll win for sure".
>He was clearly tilted for a while, which is fine, it happens to everyone, but whatever was going on was enough that even his opponents felt something was off. For ~30 minutes his opponents would challenge him to games, and then just refuse to move, to force him to stop playing for a bit. I've never seen that happen, like 4-5 different people would start a game with him, and then never make a move so the game would time out after a while.
>After a while, someone showed up at his house, you could hear his doorbell ringing (which he basically ignored/refused to answer). Then whomever it was let himself in and was trying to convince him to turn off the stream. He did eventually get another game or two going which he won, then his friend was like, "okay you got your win, let's just turn off the stream, you can keep playing but let's do it offline" and Danya said something to the effect of, "I can't stop streaming when I'm winning, ever since this Kramnik thing people just think..."

I have severe hayfever in the summers so I have to take strong antihistamines, like ceterizine. They make me feel very sleepy but the sleepiness takes a while to build up, not 15 minutes. For me, if I take a ceterizine tablet in the morning, say around 8am, I feel OK until about 5-6pm and by 8-9pm I'm desperate to just get into bed. It doesn't slur my speech at all. Also the sleep quality while on antihistamines is very low quality. It's like the type of sleep when you have a fever, where you feel like you're half awake and half asleep so taking them for sleep specifically is a bit weird.

His story doesn't seem to check out. 15 minutes after taking Benadryl his speech was slurred and he was sleeping uncontrollably? That doesn't sound like hayfever medicine to me. That sounds like some kind of opioid.

Fuck pollen/plants/trees/grass btw.

Late to this, but this doesn't sound like they were worried about him, sound like some sort of protest, like when Kramnik did the whole fool's mate to Nieman.

Chess skill, and how fast it improves, it's almost 1:1 correlated with intelligence and smarts is literally all I've ever had in life. Accepting being bad at chess is like accepting my whole life has been a fucking lie and I'm actually 100% fucking worthless as a human being.

At the 1000 level if you have to put "effort" in to it, it's already over and you can legally be declared mentally deficient.

>>
>>543319916
Speaking from experience, I know. Cowardice is easier, but it's only comforting as a lie. No one in their heart is a proud coward. The only reason they can stomach it is because they twist it into something else. "I didn't fail." A much more palatable statement than the bitter truth: "I was too afraid to try." Every coward catches cold glimpses of the truth and eventually grapples with it, either by fighting the good fight or pretending "it is who he is." Of course, it's never too late to fight the good fight.
>>
>>543323484
Nah fuck that, I already think I was wrong in my previous statement. You're not wrong, but that's not what's going on here for me. I am just too lazy, it's not worth it if I'm not naturally good at it. I feel this way deep down about basically any hobby, there is no "play for fun" for someone who is competitive, it always becomes a statement about skill and worth as a human. If you aren't destined to be the best, give up and try something else.
>>
>>543326590
what makes you think you'll be naturally good at anything? you might just be one of those average people who is mediocre at everything
>>
>>543326891
My ego I suppose. If I'm a mediocre person, then life honestly doesn't feel worth living and there's no point to trying because there's nothing to waste. Only the top 1-5% of any skill based hobby matter or have any worth whatsoever, everyone below them are pathetic failures.

That doesn't sound like competitiveness at all to me. When I think of a competitive person, I don't think of someone who gives up on everything they're not instantly outstanding at. That sounds like ego masquerading as competitiveness.

its definitely suicide (or drug OD), but having watched numerous danya streams from way before the kramnik fiasco and even before the hikaru chess boom during covid, i can safely say he had this intensity and darkness in him that in retrospect were warning signs that this kind of schizoid self-destruction could happen.

I'd count that under OD even if it's not technically correct, there is also the suicide by OD "why not both option" thoughbeitever

Couple things to add since speculation is all we have
1) if he was buying percs from the dark web it is likely they had fent in them. It’s generally ill advised to buy pills of any kind from there for that reason. He was obviously an addict and I doubt he was scoring in person, he seems like a dark web type
2) maybe .com did actually catch him cheating which led to him being removed from commentary. Something similar happened with Hans where he was quietly removed and then after some time had passed they released some stuff. Perhaps Daniel was in the interim of such an investigation

If you care to review some of Daniel's videos well before the Kramnik incident you will see he was already showing signs of unexplained weight loss and twitchy body language. This kicked in at least two years prior. He was a bit pudgy around 2020 and at the time I thought it was just him getting in to shape/cleaning up his diet. It's unfortunate the hivemind decided it was rude to point out that Daniel was most certainly a drug addict when it became blatantly obvious in the last two years.

More than a slap on the wrist from .cum. I guess players just accepted the accusations once no one took him seriously so it doesn't bother them anymore unless they're absolutely bitch made like that Navarra guy.

Next /chess/ thread should be Vlad the Impaler edition with Kramnik's face pasted on a painting of Vlad the Impaler.

pretty sure the only definite proof was for his speedruns, but the fans defended that as educational cheating

Interesting, he said he was upset by a particular comment on reddit, which at least was downvoted, and that he'd read it out later.

they used to be better, but i think the stupid me-too movement around that former employee gm that supposedly kissed a few girls (and the whole "scandal" following) has made them have to double down on coverage to prove they support "the girls"

>>543414049
Daniel was accused of two separate categories of cheating, plus using a rule exploit to farm otb blitz rating:
>1. Cheating against low rated players during his "educational" streams/videos presumably to decrease the effort/attention required for him to do this (being lazy). No doubt he justified this to himself as being inconsequential as there was never any doubt he could easily beat these players without help.
He was essentially caught red handed doing this. The evidence is fairly strong.
>2. Cheating online against similarly and higher rated players included in money tournaments
Kramnik had some statistical analysis about this that looked questionable. It's possible he was doing this on occasion but the evidence isn't as clear.
>3. OTB blitz exploit
This is true. He was doing the rating farm with his pal Bortnyk at their local club. FIDE acknowledged this and closed the loophole recently
>>
I recorded a random minute of his stream so you can see that he was clearly FUCKED on drugs.

there was no proof but kramnik presented several suspicious things, I'm more inclined to say he did but it's like 65-35

>>543416361
What the absolute fuck lmao. Any drugfag want to tell me what the fuck this guy was on?
>>
>>543416734
My non-chess playing friends who know I am an Esserman fan thought I was talking about him at first lol. But anyway, Esserman is the guy I’d be least worried about having this happen to for the sole reason he is not burdened by trying to keep up appearances. Daniel tried to keep up this persona of someone who was always upbeat, stable, calm whatever. You could obviously more and more cracks in it and the pressure of trying to keep it up culminated in this. That’s why there’s such a big push for the “it’s okay to not be okay” messaging. Not that one should wallow, but you can’t just pretend to that there is no issue.

I was watching, he was normal like maybe half of the stream then I went to go do something for 5 mins and I came back to him taking 30 seconds to formulate a thought while making strange grimaces, I assumed he had a stroke or something at that time cause of how sudden it was but I don't know if he stepped away from the pc to possibly take something
>>543417063
if anything that was one of the only moments where he seemed normal after he started acting weird, it was a pretty hilarious joke actually but you got the quote completely wrong
>>
>>543417141
guys remember, don't do drugs

but most of all, do not fucking expose yourself and your life online for anybody and everybody to watch. you might get donations and subs and support from strangers, and it may seem a great deal, but you are giving away yourself, forever

I’ll watch the videos when I get home from the wage cage and give you my full analysis

what did he mean by this?

You can rule a few things out but it's hard to specify just from these symptoms.

I watched some of this VOD and holy fuck, I will never do drugs. It looks scary. I can't believe it is the same person. I feel weird.

isn't ur pattern recognition fucked though? or do you get used to it

it amuses me that you are making fun of Shogi for using hard-to-read kanji, when Chinese chess is so much worse: using different characters for the SAME PIECE depending on which side it is.

I think usually it's when you're down the rabbit hole of addiction that drugs stop being fun.

It's obviously not like that when you start Though, I would assume he was doing performance enhancing drugs. Maybe he didn't care about the side effects.
>>
>>543415204
Holy shit. No wonder people were freaking out and these videos were initially scrubbed
>>
I don't want to download the stream from your gay weird websites that try to make me make an account. Clip the parts worth seeing out and put them on /wsg/ like god intended.

https://youtu.be/skIK8ksqQ2Q

This faggot was always like this, right? Same mistakes, same comments, and after 7 years he makes the same mistakes and assumen the same shit wtf I guess he is not a serious player and just gave up a long time ago either that or he just doesn't know how to study/ no coach
>>
anyone has archive of danyas last stream? seems like kramnik called it/ talked about it 2 days ago
>>
40:45 - he addresses the reddit comment that he detested so much.
A strange comment at the end
>"It's definitely a lesson for him to learn from given that he is a streamer and a youtuber and this will not be the last time he faces criticism or trolling"
>Oh, it actually will be. Um, well, in this regard. It comes with the environment. And there's a reason people know I'm not to be f*cked with on this front

nta, retard that doesn't change anything. there should be no website, or temporary email, or any email, or advertisement filled shitsite, or cookies, or accounts. you should just give the god damn mp4 file. its so simple. it makes everything so much less complicated. 4chan makes it so easy to do so. i dont want to remember a password or leave incognito mode or tell them any of my information at all. getting the temporary email in itself means i need to go through another ad infested shithole, which at the very least will have a shitty interface and tracking cookies. you will practically never get a virus from a straight .mp4 file on /wsg/

Well it's stylized old Japanese so it's even more retarded.
That being any Japanese person can easily figure out 飛車 or 角行 on their own, even 王将 is doable but yeah it's obviously much harder on the brain than horse, king or queen shapes
>>
>>543418589
pro tip about strong players: you don't need to look at the board, you do all your thinking via your own imagination and visualization. The board and pieces are just there to communicate with your opponent, or maybe to refresh your mental board after a deep think.
