I would actually love to be playing against him in his speedruns and have him talk for half an hour on the game afterwards, honestly some nice coaching lesson
One of the things that I've learned from the speed runs is the value of stamina. D is right that so many sub 2000s play well for 10-15 moves but then under pressure sort of blunder late game. This is either because they are so used to their initial attack working against lower opponents and are shocked when tables are turned, or because simply below the pro level people can't concentrate deeply for a full 10-15 minutes.
@mortalkombaty7960 that makes no sense lmao if Magnus trained them personally from 400 to 1000 you couldn't say "that's normal progression" 😂😂 obviously they learned something
Really like these videos Danya, it has helped me improve my thought process a lot. I am interested in the chessable course you mentioned in the video, but it seems like you forgot to add the link to the descreption. Would you please mind to add it in?
Concerning that mystery chessable course mentioned by Danya, I'm guessing that he might confused 1121 mates with 1111 mates. In such case it could be "Mastering Mates 2: 1,111 Two-move, Three-move & Four-move Mates"
Danya, please do not change the way you are doing your videos or speed runs. They are so educational. There will always be a ton of queen pushers that get they tactics from 15 minutes trick based click biting videos you can find anywhere. PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE. You once said your content is for serious players who want to learn and do not mind spending some time on it and PLEASE keep it like that. GREAT JOB. It is amazingly effective, I would love to learn from you about Naydorf or in general open Sicilian lines. You can also make a speed run playing with subscribers and set bases for only openings that we would play. I play Sicilian and get 1 Naydorf out of every ten e4 c5 moves. I do not remember loosing against wing gambit a lot ( I usually somehow get them to some different waters) but this kind of speed run is EXACTLY what we need in order to learn how to face what we actually face when playing on line. You must face different stuff all time and you are showing us HOW TO THINK. Thank you.
You are by far the best chess streamer on youtube. The way you explain chess is so artful and beautiful, yet so simple and easy to understand. You make people better, and entertain them.
Coach, please provide the link of that chessable course. This is the first time, I am commenting on your video but been your viewer since months. I don't have enough words to thank you but lots of love from my heart 😇
If you look it from the other side, a strong GM like Daniel was caught in the opening by an 1800. So most of your opponents are going to crack under this gambit. Then why not add it as a repertoire against Sicilian. Also most players prepare main line and other sidelines, so it has a surprise value too. You will catch many fishes.
@@nr1771 Haaaaaaahaha GM Danya reconsidered/reevaluated an opening, after all his GM norms, tournament commentating, and countless other chess successes?? His books and his channel and his endless, wonderful speed runs?? I must admit I didn’t watch to the very end, so I missed that part… 🤣🤣 I play the WG, so this topic is very relevant and personal to me. I sometimes wonder if investing my time in it has been a mistake 🤷🏻♂️🙏
Love the videos! Doesnt it seem recommendable to 99% of chess players to play these gambits even if they are objectively third tier if they can get you an advantage even against danya?
I'm at 17 minutes into the video and there's a move that i was thinking about a few moves ago that you didn't mention. It's Qd6, threatening Qe5 trapping the rook if he doesn't want to trade (it also defends the b4 pawn) and additionally, it avoids any Qh2-h5-hg6-Qh7#. Did you not consider this option because you were planning on counter-attacking white and not go into an endgame as clearly winning as it was, or was it simply because it was 2am ?
Qd6 is a fantastic move forcing the Queen trade and i don’t believe black can create a counterattack of his own here quick enough and it’s important to stop the d pawn and deny white space and develop so Qd6 is ideal.
WARNING - if the Wing Gambit seems appealing after watching Danya struggle a bit early on -WATCH OUT! It is incredibly broad. I’ve played it 4-500 times, and it’s still hard to play for me. I also play the Bc4 King’s Gambit, and my winning percentage is 15% higher with the KG vs the WG, if that’s any indication. Good luck with your chess! Life is short - play exciting chess! 🤣🙏
4:53 "I will admit that D5 is probably the best move and black is better there, will check it with the engine after the game" 43:52 "the engine doesn't think black is better after D5, I was right!" 😅😅
@@aluminiumknight4038 that’s sound in comparison to what Danya did here - a mere +0.7 🤣🤣 it was fun to see Danya dig out of a position he rarely experiences (positionally behind by 1.2 pawns on move 10), one the rest of us experience every third game 🤣👏🙏
Hi Danya! You didn't link the chessable course in the description ("1000 mates or somethiing like that") Could you please do it? Also thanks for all your instructive videos, you're the best!
Thanks for your videos! Question: at 42:44 you recommended Pd6 to prevent Pe5 but don't you lose a knight or the b4 bishop after white plays Qa4 and then Pd5?
thats one of the funniest videos I saw the last few weeks not only the pawn blunder but also how the guy is on the edge of death and just picks up the free pawn😂😂😂
Thanks Danya ! I have seen several references to Louis C K comedy in your videos (amaziiiing, how do you like them apples) hahahah it looks like we have the same comedy tastes.
I have a lot of difficulty figuring out when I should sacrifice pieces/exchanges. I never know when it’s ok to trade my rook for a bishop, or my Queen for a rook and minor piece, or a pawn for a better position, the list goes on. I guess what I’m asking is how do you evaluate if a resulting position is good enough to make a sacrifice (like you did in this video)?
Does anyone know if hes fought the 2.a3 sicilian/mengarini before in a vid im not sure if theres a video on that and im curious on his thoughts about it since its similar to a wing gambit
I love how g6 actually gave white a great position according to the engine because of the very natural c5 push and the pawn on d5 is never hanging as the rook on h8 is also hanging, Bb5+ becomes a monstrous threat and if allowed, black’s position will completely collapse. Be2 was a very strange move that was not in the spirit of the position at all.
