Hey Danya, doubt you will see this but just wanted to let you know: Take care of yourself first and foremost. Don't push through burnout just for us. While we love your content, I am sure most of us would agree that your health and wellbeing matter more
Danya at 1100 elo: "Our opponent plays the philidor defense, already a mistake. Here's a 15 move line of perfect engine moves to punish it." Danya at 2400 elo: "We could equalize with c6, but let's play this other line that's more fun."
Danya, your community loves you and wants to grow with you in a way where you stay happy and healthy. If you need to take time for yourself, do it. When you’re ready to come back this will still be the best chess content on the internet
You’ve given countless hours of top tier chess lessons and content for free. Absolutely nothing to be sorry for. 50 years ago people would’ve paid and arm and a leg for access to your level of explanation and we all get it for absolutely nothing. No one can complain about slightly less frequent uploads
Usually I’m not a fan of tips in the internet But for this content i would like to give him a good tip just to thank him for teaching us about these cool lines
Thank you dayna from 1600 to 2072 in last 6 months....it would not have been possible without you..your channel is massively underrated..hope this changes in near future..Thanks for the vidz❤
@@atefhmematef5946hard work lmao chess is a game like any other wana get good? Get your hands as dirty as possible and start training most if not all games below 2000 are decided by tactics so just get real good at those get a solid opening repertuare and bit of positional understanding tactics is mainly calculation and patter reckognition so just train those and get as systematic and technical with those as possible
Kudos to Daniel for turning the chessboard into a playground of wit and wisdom on his streams! Learning chess from him is like having your brain cells do a happy dance. I'm so thankful for this content!
Your videos helped me gain so much rating. With that being said, you’ve made an enormous amount of content so far. Your channel is a gold mine and if you need to take a break and focus on life then do that brodie. More than enough content for people to watch. Didn’t you write a book when you were like 10 or something lol you’ve been working hard for a long time 😂 take some time off and pursue some other stuff if you want. Sometimes a break can lead to future growth when you go back to a former passion. I know that always happens when I stop making music for an extended period of time. Hope whatever you decide to do gives you happiness man
THANK YOU DANYA ❤ This is the best game of all speedrun games ever so far, just by the fact that you are playing against such strong players. It might not be very instructive for the lower rated lads but this is the exact type of content that there isn’t enough of out there.
Even if you decide to stop RU-vid videos, I will just rewatch all the old videos. There is always something new to find that you teach us. Take care Daniel !
This was absolutely my favorite speedrun game so far. These 2400 opponents that I get matched with from time to time seem absolutely unstoppable. It’s amazing to see how you are able to apply enough pressure to make them crumble. A lot of lessons to be learned here for sure.
Any one of your videos is already a priceless lesson, please take as much time as you need to deliver. I don't mind getting a video per month if it means you'll stay healthy. Looking forward to another amazing Speedrun game.
And they really show just how well Danya knows this opening. Excellent stuff, even though I recently started playing Benoni more it's still good to know more about KID.
Your content here is amazing. I mean, your bullet and blitz skills are impressive too, but the ability to teach as you play positional and tactical chess is outstanding. You've helped me go from 350 to 1100 in 7 months!
Thank you Danya for all your amazing series. Take all the time you need! There is plenty of content for us to go back to if necessary! Wish you the best man
i really hope that chessmeister2 is proud of how they played in that game, Danya is in a rare tier of players and even he couldn't do much for a long time against them. Awesome game, instructional and entertaining as always
danya, take all the time you need to relieve the burnout. the videos you already have are so incredibly helpful and insightful, it would take me so much time to glean everything possible from them. speaking of, i just played a 3|2 match as black with 96% (!!!) accuracy as a 100 ELO player. and (i think you’ll like this) i opened with a sicilian! i lost on time, but i can only attribute this great play to your insight and commentary. take care danya ❤
This video absolutely blew my mind! I watched it straight through last night, and I'm watching it again while taking notes this morning :) Thanks for creating such phenomenal educational content
Hey Danya, as someone who is suffering from work burnout as well I know that a lot of this goes in one ear and out the other. We all care about your well-being. I don't think there's a single fan that wants you to pump out videos and be stressed and burnt out. Focus on what makes you happy to produce(or not produce). I promise, no matter what it is we will love it.
As always, thanks Danya! You’ve got a masterful way of making the game and lines easier to understand for the community. We appreciate all the time and effort you put into your channel
Dayna, just wanted to say thanks. I've played chess for a long time but have always hated playing with black. Your videos are a HUGE help. I've become very comfortable with black since I''ve been watching your videos. I really appreciate how you take time to show all the lines/best moves.
"Lemme think for a moment:" *puts hand over his face for 3 seconds* "Aah! I know the answers to all life's conundrums" I'm so curious what that hand looks like from the inside...
You haven't only made me better at chess, you have made me enjoy this complicated game so much more. I hope you don't forget to take care of yourself. Mental health always should be a priority
My couch always told me, don't try to push through a burnout, take a break. Burnout is a sign that you've been working hard, taking a break during a burnout is not a sign of laziness
Dayna thank u so much for all of this help My play has improved since I watched u thank u very much u are very productive and Thanks for all of ur explanations to every move
Brilliant game and fantastic analysis as always! I love watching your instructional videos, but I know that I have no idea how much each one takes out of you to make. I’ll watch whatever you post, and if you feel like taking a break, well I could always brush up on your previous videos :)
I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible content you create and share on your RU-vid channel.

Thank you again for the exceptional content you provide, and please remember to take care of yourself throughout this incredible journey.
One of the most interesting games i've seen you play, sensei, and i've watched a tonne! Don't burn out on our behalf, self care is an elite move in itself. But yeah, this was fascinating, and crazy instructive, I really appreciate your efforts.
Just because I love these videos doesn't mean I wanna burn you down to the ground trying to make them! Take as long as you need, whenever you need. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this.
I love you because of this much of respect that you've earned by your honest work, i respect you and i wish you the best my friend, dany ; thank you for being so nice that reading your videos comments makes me feel better about the world, thank you so much, not just for absolute pure content but also making the world be nice❤❤❤
8:29 That fealing you get, if the last extension of your intellect. You can always explain your move, tho it takes more moves in the line to explain it. That feeling is your connection to what you are doing, its subjective. Its your body reacting to your perceived future.
that was an entire course module of top-tier prep. I swear the content on this channel is just unbelievably high quality and inspires me to push my own channel in terms of content as well^
One of the things I found very informative about this game wasn't even a move, or an explanation of a move. Rather: When the opponent was taking a long time to make a move, Danya demonstrated _how to think constructively when you're waiting._
Those who have followed you over the years aren’t here for the quantity of your content, we are here for its quality. You’re easily the best teacher on the net, so I think I speak for all of us when I say that your corpus of content as it stands could be studied for years even if you produced nothing more, and that we would all rather you take a break when you need to than feel you have to churn out content for fear of losing your audience. That ain’t going to happen, ever. I noticed watching Pogchamps the other day that you looked exhausted, and you should definitely take a break that’s as long as you need for your well being Danya. Like our interest in this most elegant of games itself we are all here for you and for the long haul. Thank you for another amazing analysis, but please take care mate.
Self care is a priority. I don't blame you at all for taking a break. And this is another amazing video of one of my favorite Openings. As always great tactics being played and I love the attack. Open the H File and blast White with pressure. Thank you for another great video as always. The wait is worth it.
@1:05:30 the e5 knight a d the g4 pawn have a symbiotic relationship! Knight keeps the pawn safe, a d the pawn prevents the knight from being traded off on f3. Totally nerded out on that relationship.
Broooo please I love these videos so much! You do an amazing job with them and every day I check your channel for a video from you. Of course if you feel burnt then take a break, but I want you to know these videos are much appreciated.
Great game, excellent instruction. Thanks man! Hope you get some downtime....burnout sucks. Can relate....I work in the music biz and suffered it about a dozen years into my career. Took a few years to learn something new and complicated, and instead of it leading to a new career for me, it actually solidified my passion for working in music and I kept going with the music. Reason I mention it is seeing similar passion in both chess and music....they are somewhat related....both are very harmonious and use tempos. Cheers dude....thanks again
Your videos is really a goldmine for chess fans. You and GM Henrik Danielsen are my favorites in live commentary games. H. Danielsen live videos is not available anymore. But it was really entertaining to watch. If you look up Polar Bear System here on RU-vid. That's the guy. He wins against Peter Heine Nielsen. Coach for Magnus Carlsen. Really strong players just like you. Great fun watching your games. Thanks a lot.
Most of the comments have been good, but a couple are stupid. So I thought I'd put in my own 2 cents Daniel. I think your youtube channel is amazing. I only got back into chess in the last half year, and I discovered your channel 2-3 months ago at the most. You're definitely my favorite overall of the youtubers I've checked out. I love the instructional value. The most fun are of course the speed runs. I started with most current and have been moving backward. I'm current on the most recent of course, and have checked out all of the one prior to that. I'm getting towards halfway through the speedrun before that. I'm loving it all. I've checked out some of the other stuff on your channel, and will do more as I go. I do tend to stay away from blitz, both my own play and others playing it, but I'm sure I'll check out some of yours eventually. Keep up the great work, and take as much time off as you ever need. Screw anybody who says differently. The only counter thing would be if you can't afford rent and this would jeopardize that. Somehow I don't think that's your situation. :)
@@rocketpig1914 Almost none do, I imagine, but I saw a few stupid comments. Things about how he already didn't post often enough, and if he was slowing down... I read a couple stupid comments, and decided to make my own. That's all.
Played the Kings Indian for the first the in my life because of your video and just won the most stressfull and blunder rich game I had in a while, together me and my opponent amassed 28 blunders/ mistakes. How do you make it look so easy x)
Watched a lot of chess videos and many on kings Indian, and this one is just the best for me, covering many options and tactics as well as positional concepts.
Hey Danya, thank you so much for these videos. They have helped me understand the fundamentals of chess concretely. Please prioritize your mental health and feel free to take breaks with content as needed!
