Impressive. Danya Is not only the best chess coach on RU-vid, a great commentatore and One of the top blitz/bullet players on earth, he's also one of the only people on earth Who can ride a hippopotamus
Cmon we get this on every video i mean we all love our sensei but dont need to overmention i dont want him to turn into hikaru or magnus type arrogance
@mr.scream2934 he's not the type of person that gets arrogant don't worry. And Secondly if magnus gets arrogant, he has the right to. He's the best player of all time.
I actually found that the various series of Aman from chessbrah are better to build systematic positional thinking. Danya is great no doubt, but better for higher level chess. Better for players above 2000 imho
I read them whenever I can and have no words to describe how grateful I am at the overwhelming amount of love and support. It's a great privilege to be able to do what I do! Much love, Danya
You asked for honest feedback in your intro to the speedrun, which I am watching right now. So, here it is: this particular video here was JUST GREAT! Elaborating on the deflection technique was very interesting - thanks a lot for this. I am really looking forward to watching the entire series and maybe even catch some of it on Twitch. Keep it up, please!
This is the secret sauce! The methods you demonstrated for deflecting the knight on f6 were extremely instructive. I already had a game where I was able to implement the knight hop to d5 and won quickly after that. Thank you for providing the best and most enjoyable chess content out there.
Даня - лучший блогер! Отличные спидраны, лучшие в интернете! Без лишних слов. но очень информативно.Для будущих гроссмейстеров - идеальный контент. Жаль, что только на английском, но это уже мелочи. В свои 72 года с удовольствием смотрю и восхищаюсь красотой шахматной игры в исполнении Даниила! Здоровья и удачи!
I have one weird request. If an opportunity comes would you please play with 2 rooks against the Queen. I’ve just never been able to withstand the onslaught of the Queen in such situations. Tyvm
You’re my favorite RU-vidr by far and I’ve learned more about chess from you than anyone else on this planet. Some feedback : the majority of your demographic is in the 1400-1700 rating range and it’s been over a year since we’ve gotten any content from this range. Please spend most of your time in here (even if that means lowering your rating once you get to 1800)
I spent more time than I'd care to admit confused out of my mind because I could have sworn I'd seen these games before. Then I remembered I was feigning for Danya content and so watched some twitch vods xD
It’s really the small moves like Qc4 that win the game. Squeezing out as many potential tactics from each tempo as possible. That pin on f7 was huge later in the game.
I do hope danya gives more instructive videos like this on intermediate players rather than 1000 rated beginners. However, Very impressive new approach to scandi+indian setup Learned a lot from H file attack ideas e5+Ne4
That Karpov-Korchnoi game is one of my favorite games ever, and I thought about it before Danya even mentioned it- feel like I'm really making progress!
re: intro - I nearly won a game against a chess expert from the St. Louis Chess Club but I lost because I didn't consider the King's escape route. Opponent made a huge blunder and had I thought about that I would've won. Considering the King's escape route is so important!
The H-file with a knight on f6 theme was a phenomenal lesson. Any literature you recommend that will have similar specific themes in it (i.e. deeper than general concepts)?
Just an idea - what if you played bullet games (1+0) without explanation... and then after the game is done, then you can explain how your instincts caused you to play the moves that you play. I think bullet would fully ensure that you're playing with instincts only and not too much deliberation - and I would really be keen to learn how your mind works in such quick time controls.
I would gladly watch your whole speedrun series if you kept playing 5|0 games like in this one. It's just too long when you play 15 or even 10-minute games and explain every step. I think it is totally fine if you give a short explanation of your moves during the game and then a deeper analysis of your thought process after the game.
Is it possible to showcase how you find all those examples using ChessBase and how we can get most out of ChessBase as a intermediate player? (2000 otb)
