The thing I appreciate most as a beginner trying to understand (instead of just obeying principles that may not apply or memorizing) are the clearly reasoned explanations that GM Danya gives. Even more when talking through his recovery after the mouse slip - a wonderful mistake to learn from!
Yeah this is a pretty good one eh, I remember watching this on twitch. I would have kinda liked to see how he played that position if he played 5. d4 instead of blundering the knight. I liked hearing Daniel’s take on the vienna too in addition to some of what Levy’s shown. Um the tip to go 3. f4 here after Bc5 is pretty interesting and is something I’ve started to do in my own games. Yeah, this felt instructive, funny it was only uploaded 4 hours ago cuz I remember this from so long ago. :) was a good one yeah
anyone ,even 2000 rated players would have a hard time being up a single piece against a GM Most GM's lose to Top rated players like Magnus down a piece when it comes to classical time formats
@@JakeLYT it wasn't just knight odds. check with any engine and you will see that he was losing very hard in the moment where he blundered the knight. it was -7. it was really bad time for knight D4.
Actually super amazing discussion and working through a mouse slip blunder with great jokes as always. I normally just resign in such positions so this is extremely instructive
It’s like he’s been fighting with one hand this whole time and yet nobody can hit him. The second they finally hit him due to his own mistake, he knocks them out with the other hand.
Rxf7+ is a rlly nice win after Re7+ Kf8:) If Kxf7 Qe6+ Kf8 Qe7+ Kg8 Qg7 mate If Ke8 then Qe6+ Kd8 and mate on d7 If Kg8 then Qg5+ Kxf7 Qg7+ Ke8 and mate on e7.
15:10 Instead of Qh5 the brutal Rxf7+ was another way to show the strenght of the 7th. I like Bg4#. Both are very nice of course. Instructive game thanks.
One of my favorite chess streamers, but (purely constructive critique) please acousticly treat your room behind camera or get a large condenser mic 8" away from your mouth. The voice reflections in the room "honk" we've all gotten use to via zoom/pandemic is ok for a biz meeting or a minor guest on msnbc, But your such a master (with the coolest intro!) That that small change will make a world or professional difference. Daniel=2630 Intro graphics =3100 Sound=1167
2...Bc5 may be inferior to the knight moves but 3.f4 is not the refutation. The position after 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Bc5 3.f4 is the same as after 1.e4 e5 2.f4 Bc5 3.Nc3. The King's Gambit Declined with 2...Bc5 is perfectly playable for Black, and 3.Nc3 is probably not as good as the usual 3.Nf3.
I followed every speedrun of you, amazing instructional content. I have a question: can you show how you work with Chessbase software? I'm always amazed how quickly you come up with a certain position, and analyse it further from there (not to mention what an amazing memory you have of played games). That would be very helpful. Thanks again.
Not to be political but I would LOVE to someday see a speedrun where you intentionally blunder a piece in the opening every game. It happens all the time to us non-GMs and this game was *super* instructive in showing how to play from behind. This is already the best speedrun series, but like most other speedruns you're basically never at a disadvantage because you're too good! A "playing from behind" series would help teach a very useful skill for us commoners!
I might be a stupid ignorant lower tier player but I think he was already playing inaccurately before the blunder. He was doing some very weird moves for the Vienna. You don't play the gambit after Bg5
LOVE the analysis of your games. Even in openings you explain really well and talk about theory as THEORY not just a sequence of moves! Keep the content coming :D
1. Move the same moves when you are up a piece as you will do when you are not 2. Think about what your opponent would do and prepare for it 3. Make moves with multiple threats and follow up options
"Hey, it gets you free wins in the opening!" Is a strike against an opening being good for beginners, not an argument for it being good for beginners - at least is they ever want to be anything but beginners.
it's like how spanish is my second language, right? and i had to learn it on my own. when i watch you play and explain everything it's like listening to a native spanish speaker talk and i understand it and it all makes sense, but then when i play its like when i talk in spanish y es un desorden completo.
I really like 4.d4 allowing Qh4+ 5. Ke2 for white, the position is objectively fine for white and practically dangerous for black. Plus it's a way of making a kind of bongcloud a part of my tournament repertoire.
If I had a dime for every time Daniel has said "I'll talk about it after the game" and then proceeds to not talk about it after the game I'd be rich. No hate, I just think it's funny that he says it all the time and forgets about it unless he writes it down.
I get so nervous watching the clock. I’m yelling at the tv, MOVE!!!! Quit asking the chat what they would do!!!!! Move, dang it !!!! But in true Danya fashion, comes through at the end !!!!!!!
So, minor nitpick - Bc5 by Black is the third top engine move against the Vienna setup, is recommended by both Levy and Jonathan Schrantz, and it often transposes into the Classical variation of the King's Gambit, which is a very respectable way to meet the King's Gambit. Saying that Bc5 is inaccurate is simply incorrect. White's first mistake in the Vienna game is actually playing exf4. The whole point of developing the bishop immediately is to allow d6 to be played without locking it behind the pawns, so taking on f4 shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the point of Bc5 against the Vienna.
Earlier on things got kind of political pin the chat so to ease the tension Danya kept saying things like "Not to be political but d4 is a great move"or "Not to be political but chess is a hard game
Danya i literally had the vienna gambit with Bxg1 and destroyed my opponent! Thank you for this lessons! i am willing to give PGN to whoever asks for it.
I like how Danya explains things too which is why I subscribed. Something I don't get from other Chess RU-vidrs, i.e., the detailed reasons behind the moves! Of course worrying about the bishop after it has taken the rook is wrong. Better is developing the knight to d7 threatening to take the pawn on f6 with the queen (threatening an exchange of queens, gaining a tempo, and allowing queenside castling). Nc6 is the blunder that turned it all around. Great comeback.
The positional reasoning was great and very instructive. I don't want to suggest purposeful blunders, but I would love to have Daniel show odds games and how he turns the tables. BTW, I just subscribed on strength of Daniel's exposition in this video!
