That feeling: "As soon as you drop your piece and before it even hits the board you realize it's a blunder but can't stop it" captured on Daniel's face forever 😱
Very funny moment! I actually saw the mate before Danya realized it but only because the title of the video clued me in and I was watching for the moment to happen.
As always Danya's transparency about top GMs blundering mate is always good to see. It's happened with me so many times that I don't see the blunder until just after I make the move and by then it is too late. Great video as always, super instructive!
Several of us were in the comments in the game pointing out as Danya was describing Ne6 that it hung mate, expecting him to say "but of course, you can't play it because of mate in two." We were shocked when he went ahead.
@@musical_lolu4811 People do it all the time in the stream, and as is clear from the video, Danya ignored them here. In any case, he refunds all the rating points from the speedrun.
I have prayed for this situation for years. This is like having a winning lottery ticket and then losing it: It's that rare and would be the most wonderful thing to ever happen to an 'average' player. As it is, now you still have a 'fish that got away story' which is still pretty great given there's video proof. One thing is for sure: This person will NEVER miss that particular mating pattern again. Ever.
Literally the last game I played before watching this video, I missed a mate in 1, realized it immediately after playing a different move, & then had 20-something more moves of nail-biting back & forth before finally winning on time. So I came over here to see if I could learn anything else besides just look harder at the board. The remark "after you realize you missed a blundered mate, you can't play chess anymore," is pure serendipity for me right now.
Hey Danya, I feel I speak for a lot of people here when I say we watch you not just for the games, but also for your way of communication and more importantly, you good will. People who are so well put together are hard to come by, and also make it through my UA-cam recommendations. Thanks and have a nice day 👍
With regard to the cognitive science, it's very interesting that the moment you move the piece, you're much more likely to see the error. I'd guess that having made the move, the mind clears of distractions or other thoughts, like your teaching. Plus, you see the new position, with the bishop no longer blocking h8, which can make it a lot more obvious.
There's the Fabi blunder vs Anish, that's famous too, he just randomly blundered a piece, I think it was Wijk aan Zee 2022. Also, cool you mentioned Hikaru almost never blundering because he also blundered mate in 1 against Fabi in an online event recently, it was Rf8 I think and Fabi had a pawn on h5 blocking the king. Nepo blundered a bishop in that petroff against Magnus. It's actually pretty common.
@@RG001100 I know, but it's just a move that gave him a losing position. O tried focusing on more drastic things like blundering a piece or mate. but yeah, that f5 is a good example too
Oftentimes I tend to trust the opponent not to make obvious blunders because they play so well, and then I miss mate in 1 or 2 or 3, or just a hanging queen.
Man, I just had a game today where I positioned my rook on the open f-file, and when the opponent queen moves from f7 to f3+, I was flabbergasted because I thought I somehow blundered a fork And yes I did blunder the knight as a result
Me too lol. I have a way better record against better or much better players than against lower rated players, because better players play more logically.
@@victorkao1472 the most thoughtless mistake I've ever made was moving a pawn to threaten a queen, assuming my opponent would move the queen, and then not taking the queen the next move. D'oh. :o)
Wow, Danya is so deditcated to teaching he's willing to show the exact types of blunders players can make by doing it himself at 27:30. Can you name a more dedicated guy? 🤧😂
It's so fascinating how long you were discussing the position after Ke6 and didn't see it, but almost instantaneous after you played it you saw it. I think it speaks to how much harder visualizing a position not on the board is, even for a world class tactician
I want to let you know that I really love your videos. And even if this does not get the views that other channels might get. Don't let that affect you. I've been watching you for a few years now, and I'm always impressed and how you improve and every video and every speed run. There are other channels that just prioritize clicks and not education. Also Happy teacher appreciation week!
Great video as usual. Regarding the apostrophe in the title: I see this mistake everywhere and it is driving me crazy. So here's a short explanation on the difference: Plural: One grandmaster -> two grandmasters Posession: The video of the grandmaster -> the grandmaster's video
But he lost to Hikaru today in Arena King. Danya was so mad about that. He was not able to recover and played poorly the rest of the tournament. Hikaru is good at destroying Danya
i can understand from the opponents perspective too. This has happened to me too. Its that you calculate so much that you know that in previous line that mate wasnt working cuz the queen was defending that square so you don't calcuate that mate again cuz you know it doesnt work but forget to take into account the new board.
43:10 "So what I decided to do was actually get up from the board, shake hands with Fedoseev and pretend nothing was wrong" -- I love it. I saw tactic immediately as a 1700 since I knew it was there. For a 2700 not to see it is a miracle that requires they trust you not to allow a simple tactic.
Finally was able to get close to beating my roommate who’s around 1300 as a 900 myself thanks to these videos. Thank you! I surprised myself for remembering the moves up until move 7 which is a first..
Caruana once blundered a full rook to Anish Giri. It wasn't hard to see either, it was just plainly moving his rook to a square guarded by Anish's knight. That's a blunder I don't forget lol
It was a great representation of the lesson of not forgetting previous ideas. You had just finished explaining not forgetting about Qf7 check and then showed it isn't so easy to remember lol
Thanks for not only teaching us how to analyze and calculate, but also how to handle blunders mentally and emotionally. Next time I blunder Mate in 2, I'll definitely remember this lesson!
“I promise you it will be 500k views, it will be Levy type numbers” Its sad to hear that in retrospect not because you dont have those numbers but because you totally deserve those numbers and much more
I'm coming back to this video just to see its views, I really wish it gets a million views (as Daniel guessed). This is the only channel I watch for chess videos.
44:34 Rossolimo did live in France from 1929 to 1952, but he was not originally from there, as he was a son of Russian painter Spiridon Ivanovich Rossolimo and a nephew of Russian and then Soviet neurologist Grigory Ivanovich Rossolimo.
I always kick myself for ages when i make a blunder like that or even something more advanced especially in my rapid games. It's really nice to know it happens to everyone.
I blundered this along with him. I was calculating this exact line but I was like "I wouldn't play this because the knight defends back the queen from e6", missing the idea of playing Bxg5 and then queen takes rook on e6. This is an example of Finegold talks about sometimes, where by sheer luck seeing less is sometimes better/luckier than seeing more but not seeing everything.
I'm guessing that danya missed it just like he missed the mate in 2, but even worse since danya did not mention it at all even after he played d4. Danya would be just lost after Nxe6, can take blacks bishop but no need since you can take it anytime and instead just leave it and keep it as a monster knight on e6 and play Bh6 instead to trade it off, then maybe Qg5 and bring the e2 knight into the attack also, and after that white can also think about bringing the light square bishop in along with a rook lift, but black would probably be dead before that. The position plays itself for white after Nxe6, while blacks e7 pawn basically blocking his pieces from being able to help in the defense of his king. So whites e6 "sacrifice" turned out to be devastating. I hate letting opponent play this move since it's so hard to develop after. The attack would be devastating, danya has like zero counterplay at all. He can try attack whites queen side pawns but so what. I'll gladly trade them all but I'll take Danyas king instead. White can even defend the queen side lawns easily if he wanted to to make it absolutely zero counterplay if he wants to be mean. Lol.
In the game you were talking about how if the Knight had to it could drop back to B8 in order to reroute to the other side of the board. As soon as the Queen left D8 though I was thinking a good place for the Knight would be on the Queen's old spot, because it would cover the F7 square which unburdens the Queen you moved to defend the square.
Bro for real too funny, i was wandering just few seconds earlier if some beginner/early intermediate player would play Ne6 blundering and when danya played i started laughing
wow that was the most epic thing ever danya, how come all these speed runs are so close now a days compared to yesterday, wow your look of utter shock was so priceless top 10 most epic moments in speed run history for sho!

So, what’s the chance the opponent also saw it after releasing the mouse for Qg4?
