Great video! Keep it going!! 😎

Brilliant

44:26 Abe's here to gamboooool

Mochy forgot his clock at 51:07. Cost him 5 seconds.

When is part 3 coming?!

Has anyone transcribed this match? Meaning, the match files. Never mind, I just read a further message that indicated they would be published at a later date

Did Hossein transcribe that live? That is unbelievable!

No, he recorded the transcription at half speed and I am playing it back at double speed so it syncs up with the video.

Thank you very much for this great stream Are you going to publish the match files?

What do you mean by “heavy side of the board”?

When will be the second session?. (I thought it would be the day after the first session but I was wrong).

I’ll be recording the commentary on it today. Hopefully get mochy on it tomorrow. It will be on his channel.

Stopping for a break at 50:00 and wow Mochy is whooping ass. Abe saved about 3 gammons so far or else it would be much worse right now. Don't know why Abe would have the time penalty apply to him as well, negates the advantage he was looking for.

Great video! Can you make the board bigger in your layout? Smaller or no XG needed at this speed of play.

anybody else think Justin was playing the keyboard at the beginning of the vid?? :)

I would guess closer to $1000 a point at least. Abe was a regular in the $4000-$8000 mixed game at the Bellagio and I'm sure Mochy can get as many backers as he needs!

This "speed" format without time bank is not anjoyable for the viewers, because they don't have time to think about the positions (as well as the players do not have time to think, thus many misttakes from the top player in the world). Also for the commentators is not good because they don't have time to make comments. Even one minute time bank for every game would be enough giving the 1,5% punishment after the 1 min is over. Even in the format they play it would be better if the clocks were showing the 12 sec countdown (I know the ZMF clocks have this option, the clock being used by the players is similar if not the same)

I have to disagree, I find it very exciting and a nice change to see fast, money play instead of the slow play and incessant checker shuffling we usually see from Mochy.
