Game vs GM Daniel Naroditsky!

Before the end of the year, I wanted to make one post about my Christmas Day stream. I had opened gifts that morning, and decided to do a small stream in the afternoon. While watching a few other chess streamers, I heard Daniel Naroditsky say that he couldn’t find a game. Normally, I wouldn’t ask such a big streamer if they wanted to play, but I had sent him many large raids over the past few weeks and so thought he might be willing to play, which he was!

I then quickly started streaming, and challenged him to a 3+0 game. To my surprise, I played quite well, and although I unsurprisingly lost, the position was very equal throughout almost the whole game. In this game, I was playing White, and started with a Queen’s Gambit, while he responded with an attacking Ragozin.

That game was great! Although he still won, it was mostly even until the endgame, when I got under time pressure. He ended with OVER 95% accuracy, which is very hard to beat. The cherry on top of the cake was that he actually RAIDED ME after his stream with almost 1500 viewers!!!

Have a great New Year! gold.png
