Συγχαρητήρια για την ενδιαφέρουσα σειρά "PowerPlay"του Daniel. Ο τρόπος παρουσίασης των παρτίδων είναι κατανοητός και γίνεται με τον μοναδικό τρόπο. Επίσης αναφέρεται όσο χρειάζεται και στο μη αγωνιστικό σκέλος του τουρνουά. Πολύ καλή δουλειά, Daniel, καλή συνέχεια.
Everytime Caruana answers question, there's always words, "......I mean...." .
Most players are rated below 1800 and GM King is great for that large segment. GM Peter Svidler gives much more extensive analysis with a lot of variations which is great for people stronger than 1800 imo.

I usualy like him, but no ones perfect lol. to make a point i didnt try to type or antygin jsut strung this out ad fast as i cn its alright and legidgble bu damn, try harder next time am i right?
"Grandmaster analysis in easily digestible bites." As if we are total idiots.
I just finished watching Daniel King's "Power Play Chess" video covering the game Caruana vs Aronian, Rd. 13 .
It cannot be said too many times - King's commentary and analysis are superb ! Entertaining AND informative
to a stratospheric degree - Bravo ! I'll be watching the other presentations, too. Thanks and much applause to
Daniel King . I should add that I'll look at the work of the other commentators as well, and I have every expectation
that they, too, will be commendable and professional . Good work, ChessBase !
