Joe shmo probably had no idea what streaming or even popcorn is. Just imagine what kind stuffs kids 200 years in the future would eat and doing while trash talk us.
@@fanzhang5568 He would have known what popcorn was though. Native Americans introduced popcorn to the European settlers at the same time they introduced corn/maize in general. The more recent innovation though is that you don't have to occupy the center of the kernels but rather can attack them from a distance.
I love the subtlety bishop b5 at 1:33, optimizing the move dxe6. This is a 970 level game, and I'm around 1300, but I probably wouldn't have thought of this in one of my own games. I'll be sure to remember this theme. Thanks Danya for the speedrun!
@@DaveCharbonneau1 He often does these games early at the morning, after 9 or 10 hours of streaming (after the full-night stream), so no wonder he is very tired at that point
Awesome vids! Great teacher! Also thanks for doing the Caro a lot, definitely my opening of choice with black, but still struggle in the middle game, so your games are super helpful!
I love how Daniel says the game is over when he is up a piece and a pawn up. I've won and lost games with a much greater material difference at the 900 level 😂
😐At the 900 level, the essential laws that govern the universe don't really apply. Anything can happen and often WILL. 😁"Let's trade away all our pieces, skip the midgame and struggle furiously over a basic-bitch endgame."
„This process of finding mate[s] is not the easiest to describe logically“ yeah so true. „It’s in many cases a question of pattern recognition“ da player Danya. Plays the mates as he plays the game.
Great vid. At t=24m0s white having a knight on e5 is terrifying. I love the Caro as black but have won some cool games as white with the knight on e5, queen on e2 and bishop on c4 (eg sacing the knight to open f7 then checkmating with queen and bishop). There are some real pitfalls for black if they are too slow to castle (as is often the case in the Caro).
I like that the explanation are super clear and easy to understand, while Dania just destroy his opponent without mercy. It means that being simple=being efficient.
These two games are like bookends, one complimenting the other. The first black passively develops inviting a opening of the center to attack. The second Danya solidly develops black which tempers a silly attack without depth.
I'm your 966 like. Your vids are very instructive. Hikaru is for much more advanced players. I just need to know what to do when the point hat attacks my horsey.
Adding a bit more: Tartokower was born in Russia, had Austrian parents and grew up speaking French and German. He lived in Vienna and played in the coffee houses and chess clubs there, eventually playing against the likes of Schlechter, Maróczy, and Reti. During WW I he was drafted into the Austria-Hungarian army. After the war he settled in Paris where he began his professional chess career. When Poland regained independence in 1918 he became a polish citizen at 31 years of age becoming an honorary ambassador of that country. He was captain and trainer of the polish chess team in six international tournaments, winning a gold medal for Poland at the Hamburg Olympiad in 1930. After WW II and the soviet takeover of Poland, he became a French citizen representing that country at the chess olympiad of 1950. He died in Paris in 1956 just before his 69th birthday. Tartokower is an interesting chess figure (he introduced the Catalan system playing it first at the Barcelona tournament) and as Danya said many great chess sayings come from him. A nice one, when regarding this game is "It's always better to sacrifice your opponent's men."
anybody whos watched a lot of these do you remember the video he plays against the french and goes into the taraish variation but the guy takes on e4 and the guy blunders sometimes quick after by putting his knight of c6 and not d7 and he started piling on the other knight which was on f6 and he explains why that was wrong can somebody help? I can't stop thinking about that video and how the variation went
If you are talking about the danish gambit accepted then white has 2 bishops staring at the king and a really easy plan to attack (bring the queen in, get your rooks on open files) meanwhile black is stuck with all their pieces on the bank rank
Hopefully when you get to 1500 it gets like 3 videos I been struggling to get my blitz elo higher and these speed runs haven’t been helpful just bc the opponents play like 40% accuracy lol
I would like it a lot if you played more akin to the building habits series from chessbrah, not in the sense that you have these simple rules but instead that you play more realistic moves and get more relatable positions. so the usual e4 e5 4 knights position as an example. you punish your opponents so quickly which I think is unrealistic for a 700-1100 player
I can see your point but I disagree, I think the openings he’s playing are not super complex, and they show how many different positions you can have that follow the same principles
@@Spnsr-db9mv yeah thats fair, I just personally find it more difficulz to learn from his videos and since I just like him equally if not more I would appreciate that^^
@@Taartin What I dislike about the building habits series is that at 1100 all of the habits were tossed to the side in favor of "memorize this opening trap to move 12" which I felt was equally unrelatable. I agree that habits and sound openings are ideal, but chess is a complex game and Danya does the best out of anyone in explaining why he plays the moves that he does.
Poor positioning, game is in shambles-his life is basically ruined. He should retire away to somewhere very remote and quiet, where he can live the rest of his days wondering what went to so horribly wrong. Why was his king on f6?? Is it truly better to have played and lost then never to have played at all? Not so sure anymore. Death is more welcomed than it ever used to be, but it’s possible to even screw that up. Lay very low, eating only Cheez-its if possible. Change your name. Try to paint. Maybe some sponge baths. But it’s definitely over for that guy
This is when I start to lose interest when instead of teaching us the easiest way Taken the Queen to win they have to show off by checkmating the opponent with a complicated sequence that most people at this level will never see
What's the point in playing these low levels? The games are obviously just going to be decided by them hanging their pieces. I want to see Danya playing 1800+ players where he actually has to use strategy and tactics to win.
He slowly works his way up until he eventually plays those opponents too. Hes starting off with these lower levels to accommodate the lower level viewers who face the types of opponents in these games. Being told that development is important in the opening is good and all, but these games really illustrate *why*, as we can watch a grandmaster punish the bad moves that the people of this level may not realise they're making. These also show good technique and the right mindset to convert a big material lead, because that's something people at this level tend to struggle with as well.
You record a 30 minute youtube video a day, can't you use the other 23.5 hours to stuff your face? And if not can you at least not talk with your mouth full? Should have learned that by age 5 dude.
@@MrYounis26 the smacking of the lips and talking with a mouthful is very impolite, bordering disrespectful. Hungry? Shut the stream off for an hour and eat. Irrelevant to me now tho as I've stopped watching him.
