These 15+10 games are so much better than the lower time control speed runs! So much more in depth explanation. Really hoping you stick with this format for future speed runs.
Me too, ideal time control for speedruns. When I play 15+10 I find that every second passes quickly, but with Danya it seems like he has all the time in the world!
Its a shame there's next to 0 15+10 tutorials on RU-vid. Everybody so hard on for blitz games I get near 0 instructional value. Danya/Gotham got 100 vids + I easily coukd rewatch 3 times over and still not remember shit but still wish there was more
@@Gingnose ''Prophylactic'' was the main word he was teaching in this vocabulary lesson :) I knew the meaning but I would have failed big time if someone asked me to spell it.
1:12:20 This is technically a fork, but this is technically a check mate :D Btw Murad the 4th was a Ottomon Empire Sultan who ruled between 1623 to 1640. He is remembered by the ban of alcohol, tobacco and cofee usage. The punishment was dead. Historians says he took that measures after a big Istanbul fire. He in disguise was personally checking if his rules were being followed by public. But he kept his own heavy drinking behaviour and that was the most probable reason of his death.
@@noone-ld7pt Yeah that's what makes it so funny, the fact that Danya always gives such detailed reasoning. It was unexpected, but Danya just had a "fuck it" moment.
I’ve been watching this series for about a week now nonstop and I can’t thank you enough for it. What a valuable resource for anybody. I appreciate it so much. Thank you.
I love that Danya is gracious enough to wind down the clock educating us, while giving the benefit of time to his opponent to contemplate the position. A nice way to help make it more balanced and appear “competitive”
@@GermaphobeMusic there are some games in the speedrun where’s he’s almost lost and there’s been plenty of competitive games, Daniel himself admits it. That’s just a foolish thing to say man.
I was watching your earlier games, love the acceleration on your higher end game thought processes. Its completely different which is what I need to see. Gold. Thankyou
Excellent as always. Whenever I watch these videos im always half trying to learn and half in awe of how good Danya is at not just finding moves and tactics quickly but also clearly articulating the thought process.
My heart was bumping fast with this low time in clock of Daniel. The guy speaks in such a calm way that I really thought he had forgotten about the clock situation 😂. Very nice video as always! 👏
Hey Danya. I've been a long time supporter of your channel and I want to thank you for the content you pump out! Every single speedrun game is incredibly instructive and super helpful to my development as a player! You're an excellent teacher, thanks so much for the content!
Thanks so much Danya! You’re at the highest level of chess teaching, your videos are pure 💎 🙏 whoever wants to actually be better at chess should follow and not miss 1 vid!
I have to thank Danya for the ideas I learned in these speed runs. I won a couple rapid games playing the Alapin and developing the knight to a3 and b5, creating threats against the black queen and king fork on c7.
I really love your contents Danya. it is by far the best chess channel on youtube. I have learned a lot from you. you deserve 10 milion sub atleast. hopefully your channel grows faster ☺️
These videos really make the path towards improvement very clear. Hearing your thought process on top of just learning the moves is key. Slowly but surely I'm starting to find the right ideas!
Dude imagine being this player. I'd be thinking "jeeze, this guy is just squeezing me the whole game, Im barely keeping up with him" the whole time, and then I'd get the message refunding my rating and find out I was keeping up with a GM for most of the game.
I had a great alapin win today after watching this game. I hardly know any of the theory, but these videos help and most of the moves come natural compared to other anti sicilians I have tried.
I know you haven't made it to 500k yet but I hope you will soon. This is easily the most instructive free content out there, I learn so much (and saddly apply nothing)
Thank you once again for another superbly well-explained video. A side note: your English diction is very high level and sophisticated, as well. Regards from Ottawa, Canada.
That's the best a sub-2000 player has played against Danya. Black was really thinking about his moves and understood what he was doing. He just ran a bit short of time and got squeezed by some "GM" moves. A very impressive game by Black,
First I see a Danya upload, next I see that it’s a speedrun, then I see that it’s the alapin, and finally the title is “best game so far” So much for sleep
Danya : This is not a compliment. You are very rare in the world of chess. You are educated and have wisdom like the old masters and powerful like the masters of today. And of course you are one of the top 2 commentators. So: I say you are 1
I usually don't comment on videos, but i'll throw one in here for the algorith. Best chess content creator on the platform. I'm sure you'll reach 500k before the end of the year :)
Love your videos! It would be nice to see a video in which you navigate through a clearly worse position, since trying to handle a worse position is a common problem in the non-GM level 😅
People at this rating level have a line against the Alapin but they only know 3 or 4 moves after that... 5...Qb6 ok I'm a bit hazy on the theory at this point. 🤣
I know, right? At first I didn’t believe him, but then he talked convincingly of retaking with the bishop after a possible queen trade, but my phone’s little engine says that’s preferred, sooo… 🤣🤷🏻♂️🙏
I can't believe you were discussing sitting on your opponent with a piece on d3/d6 and didn't show Paulsen - Morphy with the famous Qd3! And eventually Qxf3!!
