@@darklightmaxi8045 i think hes contrasting that while he advocates for both the alapin and grand prix, he is yet to play the grand prix. to answer the original comment, i think danya is trying to keep things simple especially while we're still at relatively lower ratings. i think he wants to teach more about beginner concepts and ideas rather than be able to just outcalculate a 1200 player. i do however think that a series on attacking as a whole could be really cool; playing a bunch of games against players equal to him and basically just playing the same sharp lines, explaining ideas of the opening/position and showing off cool tactics.
ive spent a friggin ton of time searching for good youtube to explain move by move for my levels and this is leagues beyond everything i've scoured over ! thank you so much.
I enjoy how GM Danya steps through possible moves and showing how some are not as good as they might seem and others good but needlessly complicating.🙏
Such a clean video, very calm thought process and clean execution, opponent played as well as he could for his rating. When a gm has this much time to think over the board there's nothing to stop the inevitable checkmate. Daniel is a great teacher and a class act. o7 to you sir
It’s insane how well Danya explains chess. It would be so nice to have him as a coach but I unfortunately don’t live in Charlotte so it’ll never happen.
Watching Danya's speedruns turned me into a very patient player when it comes to slowly converting a winning position, which increased my rating rapidly as my main problem was rushing with under-prepared attacks and eventually blundering
Nice video Danya. Not sure if you’ll see this but can you please increase the volume of your videos in editing? The youtube ads are always so much louder than the video which blows my eardrums out
Hey Daniel, I really enjoy theses classes on chess that you make. I would love to see you explore more about the "common themes" that you refer before the opening, and explain how you play around thoses themes more. it is one thing to know theory but I feel like once I am out of the book, I am clueless. big love
Great pacing and explanation of your thinking. There are so many resources that teach specific openings/tactics but it's hard to find things that explain positional chess as well as you do
I literally open RU-vid saying "mmmm I need to find a video on the ponziani, maybe Danya has something... This was the first video on my recommendations😂.
I know these games are played on stream, but if you read the comments here and take any requests, would there be any chance of attempting to get a Belgrade gambit or Krause gambit? You’ve already done the four knights scotch which can lead to both of these gambits. Love the instructional speedrun series, keep up the good informative work :)
I love how if someone under 2000 plays accurate moves people instantly ask whether they’re cheating lol Edit: also, to Danya’s point about the Bg1 move at the end of the game, it’s actually one of the motifs covered in checkmate manuals like How to Beat Your Dad at Chess, so could be considered pretty fundamental.
Caro gambit, learning is fun! ( I was going off of my computer didn’t know they were going to say the name, interesting that he didn’t know the name 🤔)
You are an excellent teacher and after watching your speedruns my rapid rating went up from 600+ to 900+ but there is a lot to learn, and as I learn more, your videos and make more and more sense. You should try what Levy started doing recently. When playing at 900 level player, instead of picking IM moves, he would choose moves that are inaccurate or border line blunder and sometimes even blundered mate. Point is, that way, we get a weak position similar to our own games. Perhaps you can try that. You are a GM, and most of the viewers are probably going to be
Daniel, can you talk about your use of chess databases sometime? For example, you were looking up certain positions that led to a checkmate as in the game. How do you do that exactly?
You never talked further about white's queen going to h5 instead of b3 after the game. During the middle of the game, you said if the queen went to h5, black would block with pawn to g6 and then you would kingside castle. Wouldn't kingside castling make the king too exposed with the pawns advanced? Wouldn't it be better to queenside castle?
Hey Danya, please make an opening series covering various variations of the King's Indian/Sicilian Najdorf/Ruy Lopez. I'm sure it will be a massive hit!
