It’s such a privilege to listen to a GM break down his game in a top tournament like this. It adds so much insight to an otherwise lengthy and confusing game. Thank you!
Danya combines the high level understanding of chess positions only a GM could possess with an methodical, systematic way of explaining things that makes that thinking very easy to understand. Every time a video of his appears in my feed I watch it.
This is incredibly interesting. Also, it's one of the most fascinant things in Chess to me how much accuracy and creativity is required to keep an advantage you have gained. Despite having being better for most of the game (as far as I understood), you could've easily lost in so many positions. Massive respect!
People who aren't watching this because it's not a speedrun game are missing out. The ideas in this are complex but valuable. If you force yourself to try and understand games like this, you'll get more out of than than speedrun games you find easier to follow.
Great game, Danya. Thanks for the analysis! Lots of key moments. Taking on d5 to bring the knight around to e3 was very interesting, then the evolution of plans for both white + black were really cool to hear you go over.
Fantastic analysis. Thank you! I wonder why he played Ba6 when c4 is natural and strong. Choosing between f5 plan or g4-g5 looks difficult; when that diagonal to g2 is opened up you want that pawn back on g2. I was wondering if you can take on f5 with the bishop instead of the rook? And then if he plays re8 again you go Bxd7 Rxd7 Rxf6 and Qg4. If Bxd7 Nxd7 either Rxf7 or Qh5 should work (but I did not calculate that :)) General idea is to eliminate the defending Knight on f6 and then get an attack going.
Hello Daniel. I'm a huge fan of yours and have made tremendous rating gains with the help of your speedrun videos. I'm already spoiled with the awesome content you're putting out there but there is one specific request i have for you. There is a huge lacuna in my game as black against d4. I request you ,if you can find the time, to make a detailed video explaining line/lines black can use against Queens gambit and london to achieve a sharp position. Thank you
@@karlparker5876 You're right. And i have tried playing KID against d4. But unfortunately i almost always lose my games when either my opponent trades the bishop with a queen and bishop battery, or when they play the alekhine variation. I don't think KID is meant for me.
@@vkaiiims yea that stuff is really tricky. I would recommend looking at opening databases (the lichess one is great) and see what other people do against that stuff and what works. Other sharp openings against d4 would probably be benoni, Albin counter gambit, and the Budapest defense, but I don't play any of them. Benoni is supposedly very difficult to play and Budapest is dubious. Albin is supposedly quite fun but I haven't tied it.
Lichess recently added nice commentary with their opening book. I just realized. Go there, turn on the Opening explorer, press "f" to flip the board and make 1. d4 for the white. And enjoy!
Equal or Stronger Threat ? I think you meant danger levels here. Just kidding, great game and great video super insightful. Thanks for explaining it to us :)
23:22 why not take with the rook on the 8th rank so that you still can play Bc4 pinning the rook and winning the exchange? (the backrank check is not dangerous because Rf8 will be well supported and doesn't change anything about the pin)
16:57 I swear I thought I heard you say Jeffery Epstein there and I was like "wait what the fuck" lmao But fr fucking amazing match man, thanks for going over it, very insightful stuff.
Hi Danya ! Would you say this system is more legit than 1.b3 ? or less? I love fianchetto structures and I have been studying 1.b3, but it would be nice to add more legit openings to my repertoire.
Found your channel recently. I really enjoyed your commentary during the SCC, and it is so instructive seeing you break down your plans and move choices both strategically and tactically.
It's crazy how complex these positions are in GM-level games. At 1500, you'd be lucky to get a position half as complex before someone makes the inaccuracy that collapses the position.
Thanks for the modern colle rundown. I had positions like what you showed as white but the ideas you shared are just wicked. Great insight and well presented! Learnt a lot!
If you study as much as magnus, you will completely destroy him when your time comes. You’re one of the most naturally talented players I’ve ever watched play. You show capability computers show.
