"Guys, this is a hypermodern opening where rather than occupying the center with our pawns, we control the center from a distance with our pieces. In the Kings Indian specifically, we often prepare either an e5 or c5 pawn break." - Danya to chat on his speedrun account
He meant at 3.5/4 points, not time. So basically danya played 4 games in the tournament, won 3 and drew one. So he was shocked that he got such a strong opponent (Daniil Dubov), despite his score not being perfect, as you’d expect from someone like Dubov. So basically be was shocked because it was unlikely that be got such a tough pairing even though he didnt have the best score.
