The vienna is how I get games with 99% accuracy. It is all you need in life. I have no credit and no money in my bank account. My wife left me and took the kids but it doesn't matter. I have my vienna and no one can take that away. Bless you danya ur vids are amazing.
Lol me too. I listen to this guy and how well he explains the theory, the tactics, etc etc. And I think to myself, "I can DO this, let's GO" and 60-70% of the time, I crap the bed... But to be fair, I have gotten better in the last year, so there is that. Will keep tuning in. Good luck.
Thanks Danya, I watch every video of yours and being able to have a GM such as yourself help us explore the game is unbelievable. I've been playing the Pirc and Danish Gambit around 1500 but you've inspired me to move on to the Accel Dragon and Vienna Gambit. I would love it if you could explore the Vienna in an openings video to help me out...! Again thanks so much
First time I experienced a deep learning of chess. You're a great teacher/explainer. A perfect mix of your love for the game and a reserved distance, and it is obvious you have a very good feel for the audience your are talking to, something almost all chess players of your very high caliber lack.
I just want to see that all of these chess speedrun videos are so relaxing and fun to watch, Daniel just knows his stuff so well and is so calm and patient through the whole thing and I have learnt a lot. Keep it up!
Loving all the Vienna content recently. I've been looking for more content to supplement Levy's course. Would also love to see some games with 2.b3 lines against the French and Sicilian.
I’ve been trying to learn chess and came across your channel. You are by dar the best chess teacher I’ve come across this far in my search. Watching your videos has helped me improve immensely
calling it a ruy lopez on steroids is incredibly accurate. knowing every variant is hard but very fun and very very rewarding. my favorite line is vienna gambit offer, they d5 decline,bishop pin Nc3, e5 take, Qe2, bishop out for a very clean longcastle setup with open rook. Qg4 is an instant win if they dont see and gambit accepted is +2 with hanging black pawn and no opposing pieces out. can also transform into a 3 knights at turn 3 for extra confusion
The line you showed at 10:45 in the vienna gambit.. I play this all the time. Only difference is after they play exd4, rather than take the pawn on f4 with my bishop, I just short castle. When I do this, my opponent thinks I hung my knight EVERY time. Then I sac the LSB and win their queen. And if they don't immediately take the bishop, I have rook e1. 👍
2:40 does he explain the taking on e4? he forgets to explain sometimes so that's why I was wondering if by chance I didn't notice the calculation. maybe he was trying to explain at 20:25 and was side tracked. maybe 17:05 bxe4 and that's why he drew a diagonal line to it at 2:40
Thanks for this amazing Vienna gambit line! The computer however, gives the defense: After white takes the f pawn with the bishop, black does'nt take the kight but checks with the queen! 9. Bxf4,Qe7+ ! Afterward we get a totally different line...
Leaving a comment on this 2 year old Vienna video to say that this is why i play 6. d3 in this line (which is super common at my level) instead of 6. O-O, because Black's two most common follow-ups are 6... a6 as seen in this game, or 6... Be7, and in both cases, 7. Bxc6 Bxc6 8. fxe5 dxe5 9. Nxe5 does indeed win a pawn. (Note that because White hasn't castled yet, there is no Qd4+ to pick up the knight.) Granted, Black better play 8... Ng4! in the Be7 line to not be lost, but very few people know that, and the evaluation is at least +2 after winning the pawn, threatening to take the c6 bishop and further cripple Black's pawn structure, making all endgames better for White. Additionally, the lines at 9:56 are some of my favorite in the Vienna, I've gotten multiple versions of that knight + bishop sac line and won lots of quick games, it's so deadly - BUT, it should be noted that another great option for White is 7. Qe2!?, pinning the pawn, with Bxf4, Bb5, and sometimes Nxe5 on the way. It's the line Levy has recommended, and if Black doesnt know what they're doing (which, if they played 3...exf4, they probably don't), White can decimate in this line too. Worth checking out.
hey Danya hey everybody, I've analyzed the position after 13.Kd6 and it's completely equal because after Qxf6 black has Be7 linking the rooks. Ne7+ Kc5 Qf2+ Qd4 Nxh8 Qxf2+ Kxf2+ and the knight on h8 is trapped. Lots of crazy lines after that. Really helpful video nonetheless thanks Danya
At 14:00 when bishop checks, what is the response to blocking with the bishop or knight? Does it have any advantage or are u just losing pawns with a gambit style positionv
This has quickly become my fav white opening. It's sharp, tactical & seems to confuse most opponents at the beg. level. Is there an equivalent opening for black? I play Kings Indian, Sicilian hyper, but I often get into serious trouble. The Caro-Kann seems like a possible equivalent for Black. But when I try to play it usually ends in disaster for me.
I play the Vienna as white and the Caro as black. Caro is very solid, but there's some nasty traps against it that are easy to fall into. But if you know how to avoid them you'll end up in solid positions. You likely won't be winning any games quickly with sharp tactics so if that's what you're looking for as black then you might like the Scandinavian against e4. Against d4 the Albin counter gambit is also sharp and tactical (specifically it's against the Queens gambit).
@@CaptKnuckles - Well, I feel kind of stuck in the Vienna w. white at this point. I think what I w. it is the quick development. Against most players I can get an advantageous position. I've gotten a lot better w. Kings Indian & Sicilian as black. I seem to do pretty well w. both and get into less trouble these days. But to be honest mostly what I enjoy doing these days is exacting retribution on people who bring their queen out early for all the times before people did that to me. I fear them not now!
@@mcsequoia5107 Interesting! I feel like as I'm getting to know the Vienna more, I'm getting consistently better positions from it. I'll still lose but that's just cus I'm bad haha Nice! Punish those early queen heathens
I love Gotham but you simply are much more articulate. Your style of teaching is unmatched. I’ve learn some things from Gotham but it’s mostly for entertainment. When I wanna learn, it’s danya
@@BodhiGeraci I agree, Gotham is more of an entertainer than educator. He does sell courses though and you'd have to see those to actually compare the difference between IM and GM level analysis.
Vienna game and especially gambit lines are probably my all time favourites! I just love the follow ups if they for some reason accept the gambit.Though the problem is (as Danya said) that after certain level ppl know the best lines for black and games become somewhat boring.
In my game just now, playing as White, I won by opening the f file. I didn't play the Vienna Gambit (the game was a Sicilian Defence, Alapin Variation), but the principle remained the same. I got my Knight to f7, defended by my Rook, and forked Black's Queen and Rook.
There should be Qe3 to defend it,after Rxf2,Kxf2,Qtakes and dxe3 but then black has to defend his pawn on e6,but probably the best line to equalize or being at least close(this i calculated because looked to me the same way as you at first)
What if black plays Qe7 pinning the pawn to our king? What is the best move for white then? Talking about the vienna gambit accepted and pushing the pawn attackikg knight

Opponent has 8 minutes+ left on the clock, a huge time advantage, and spends 4 seconds on a move that blunders his queen and immediately resigns 😂
Lmfao
I mean you can anticipate fork but you don't kniw when you walk into fork.
I absolutely love the Vienna! Completely destroyed someone the other day when he accepted the gambit

Ngl im just a Vienna merchant nowadays. Nice line to learn here. "ICBM vatiation" 💀
