These strong GMs are on such a different level, it’s almost incomprehensible. Obviously Danya’s explanations are super clear, but the fact that both players are still in prep after like 20 moves is just ridiculous!
Danya is such an inspiration. The guy is so straightfoward and humble enough to say things like "This is when I started to regret my choice" The guy has no problem showing that he´s still learning and gives chess a very human aproach, getting away that savant-robot unreacheable idea of chess. This guy has a lot to do whit my new love for chess. Danya, you are the man.
You're the best coach out there sir. We love your content and especially the explanation part. You're so patient while explaining, answering almost every question. We'll be following your videos. Thank you sir🔥
I honestly thought that any analysis videos of your games would be from wins, not losses. So much learning, and very wholesomely unexpected humily of learning from losses. What did we ever do to deserve you Mr. Naroditsky
Those videos are seriously the best! You don't often get such an in-depth insight into a GM game of such level. Daniel clearly articulating his thought process and makes everything seem logical and natural. Well done.
Yeah to me too. Even as white I'd be horrified.. I would know that I'm better somehow but have no idea how to make progress and just end up trading into an equal position regretting not having done anything with the advantage
I think one of the issues is that you said it yourself you wanted to play more positionally ... and then chose a very tactical line to try to break out from the main line. Very good analysis as always thank you for the great content!
This story was told beautifully! Thank you for the analysis! There is great mental fortitude and a lot to learn from your willingness to talk about a game where you lost and had to desperately defend!
me winning a game after blundering queen and rook, GMs: plays the best move one tempo late and loses :p jk btw! its amazing how far into the future gms look and evaluate position because 7 moves later one tempo can be the deciding factor!
Yesterday I was analysing the position of the Alekhine after 14. ... Rad8 and the engine says it is about +1.03 on the 50 depth. And yeah, Kh1 is a top move. Does it mean that Alekhine is incorrect opening?
Actually having black against all the top guy can be good because it mean if you would have a super solid repertoire you could just draw all game if they don't want to take any risk. Something like nimzo ragozin + berlin. So you force them to take all the risk to give you winning chances. As opposed as having black vs the weaker player that would mean you would need to play king indians and Sicilian to win with black and take all the risk. Now having 6 black is obviously bad.
Daniel,what is your top go to opening for white? or even your second? Im looking for an opening that im happy with thats got ok theory but not to heavy and has good winning chances.please help :)
Ok. Crazy coincidence. I got destroyed by a young Ray Robson at the USATS many years ago...and I played the Alekhine as B! It's sort of an open tourney, so in the first round or two you can face off against very strong competition (until the stronger teams accumulate enough wins to separate themselves). We were both top boards for our respective teams, but he was like 800-1000 rating points above me. Lol.
Sensei, your courses showed me that the student can become the master. Your teaching methods is how a professor teaches, an advanced course and little anecdotal notes like “strategy v. Tactical” is the cherry on top. Watched all the courses and it’s like you’re already a computer that just knows what to do. Guess that’s what makes a grand”master”.
I play the alekhine almost exclusively. One of the best things about it is the total look of confusion on the face of the opponent on move two that you usually get. It is massively underrated.
When i face the alekhine I play Nc3 and often transpose into a Vienna, then I play the Vienna gambit. But Learning the opening is probably better, the four pawns attack is one that I have been interested to learn.
I'm going to spare myself trying to get into details here, but from a certain qualities of game content - and trough a precise setup of an audience engaged, those videos are much more appealing than a World Championship Match.
Seeing the analysis of your games against top competition is amazing. It's also great how you were always trying to go for the win in this game and the other games in the championship. Not going for draws really speaks volumes when i think draws would have helped your rating against most opponents of this level.
I really appreciate the content u r putting ❤️ but u being a complete GM it comes with a super high risk of ur competition knowing ur prep , I urge u to take a diplomatic stand where u can make the best content without giving out ur best weapons 😅
I'm sure he knows what he's doing. He also said that this opening isn't good enough to stand the test at this level meaning he probably isn't going to play it again
at 12:37 Re8 is an imprecision because d5! + 1.6 while 17... Kh8 18. Bg1 a6 19.a3 Qd8 might be playable but not guarantee it will hold in the test of time. it's + 0.8
I’ve been playing the alekine for years now granted I’m not a GM. But with four pawns, instead of Nc6, I play g6. Intention is to fianchetto my bishop castle, pin knight on F3 and chip at center with c5.
@@larskerkhof8835 I’m sure he has and maybe he found something I don’t know about but at least this line gives chances at counter play instead of relying on a line that just looks to equalize.
