If I were in the live chat, I would've asked Danya how he found it so quickly. I assume he's not considering on every single move whether a queen can be trapped. In puzzles and in tactics, we look for checks, captures, threats, which would've revealed it eventually. Maybe it was the move ... d6, he naturally realizes through practice what that move does. Well it weakens c6 and e6, but that's not immediately relevant. It also restricts the queens movement. Hey wait, queen can't go horizontally, nor backwards. It has just one square, and the move Bg5 attacks the queen and takes that square away. So maybe that's how he found it so quickly. That's what we all need to try doing!
Your games are like poetry in chess world. :) Amazing games...the funniest thing is that You usually do nothing weird or "advanced" to show that You know complicated tactics. You show us simple, logical moves and easily win games like this... it's funny how hard can it be to do simple moves on my level... :D Thank You for sharing your knowledge with us!
Nobody from levels 1000 to 2000 resigns anymore even if you're mating them and you're up 12 points worth of material because they think they'll have some chance at a stalemate trick. It's the Eric Rosen effect, and I've also noticed that the guys who don't resign are also the ones who slow roll/rage quit like this guy did.
I'm one of those people that never resign. I have drawn too many games to stalemate to start now. I never rage quit or run the clock though, fuck those people
Sometimes I let the mate happens because it's a good one and I also appreciate when my opponent do so. However I mostly agree with what you're saying, toxic players...
Well it’s their choice to resign or not, and it’s up to you to prove your endgame technique by checkmating them. Usually when this happens to me, I’ll just go back to critical moments in the game and start analyzing lines that I didn’t have the time for during the game. Getting annoyed isn’t worth it
Two valuable things for beginner me… empty threats like N-c5 don’t only waste time but can also help my opponent (black queen moves back then black c6 chasing knight away while even prepping their d5 for later) and not evaluating king safety based on context - my material gain, opponent’s attacking options, my own other moves, etc. 🙏
I just reached 832 on Rapid after just finished your first 5 old speedrun videos. You really punch some chess senses into me and for that I sincerely thank you. Have a great day!
Your videos are the only thing that helps me improve my chess you take enough time and make every move seem very rudimentary most of the time but they’re always the best moves!
The position may still be lost if black plays Nc6 or Ng6 after d4, but it is also close to the draw margin in engine games. However, after Qh4 or Qf6 as played in the game, SF gives it an over +2.5 advantage. This seems to be because the king wants to go to g1 anyway and the h1 rook can develop vertically after white plays h4 in some positions. Also, as seen in the game, the Queen's position on f6 becomes a little wonky.
Bxf2 or sacs on that square are often so dumb. Like people do it and it just gives up a peice then they think they'll win because you can't castle not realising that the king is perfectly safe. Of course the tactic when a Bishop pins your Knight to the queen and you take on f2 or f7 bishop check to then check with the Knight and win back the Bishop pinning the Knight then that makes sense but I've won a lot of games because of people just sacking there for no reason and with no follow up. I know the guy didn't give up a peice he was losing the peice anyway but I just mean in general what Danyas talking about makes perfect sense
Danya, I love getting high and watching your videos. It’s seriously one of the highlights of my day. You remind me of a great professor I had in community college. Had so much admiration for him for first teaching me the love of learning. Thanks for rekindling that joy for me.
Do you play chess high ( assuming were talking about weed) ? And if so do you feel like you play better worse or the same? Just curious since i used to smoke about 4 grams a day....sober now though
worth mentioning that after Qf6, Kg1 there is a trap involing checkmate to a white king on diagonal, so moves like e5, nxe5, dxe5, Qb6 would bbe a checkmate
I need more 4 knight scotch videos because I have started playing it as my main opening. Thanks for the amazing videos danya. This Bc5 move is something I face so often
Hi Daniel, I really appreciate these videos. im currently on the videos around 1100-1200 right now. But i wanted to stop in and say these are helping me tremendously. i beat 2 1300's yesterday using your advice! However im currently experiencing a wall where I have time struggles playing my 10 min games with no increment. I dont want to play 15 - 10 as its way too long sometimes to get enough games in to review and learn from experience. I did hit 2200 yesterday also in tactics! Do you have any advice for my time struggles? I am usually in a very good position or up material and then my time management gets to me. I tried maybe playing my early development quicker but that has lead me to fall for too many tactics and then the other person is up 1-2 pawns and I cant come back or I think too long and am usually 3 min behind and we get to end game with maybe 1-2 pieces left and I hit under 1 min mark and flag. I know it comes with practice and time. Just curious if you had any other advice to offer. thanks again for these amazing videos on my way to the next video on the playlist! (ps thanks for making it a playlist in order! so easy to find what i'm looking for on your channel.) Cheers, from Okinawa Japan
Playing two 15|10 games will be at least as beneficial as three or four 10|0 games, as long as you’re analysing properly afterwards, and actually taking your time in the games. In fact, most titled players recommend 15|10 as the slowest time control you should play if you want to improve
What the guy above said is definitely true but i'd strongly recommend playing at least a little bit of blitz to get used to making more intuitive moves quicker. I've had friends who only play rapid try to play blitz and it is funny watching them panic the whole time because they just aren't used to it. Also helps with making moves that aren't necessarily the best but aren't bad or damaging to your position, just simple moves that respond to all threats. At a higher level you can't get away with stuff like that as easily but while improving it's super useful.
@@chrisbeaudoin9818 @markcowan thank you both for the responses, I will try it for the next week and hopefully get back to replying my results here in the comments.

@@danjeory3659 Definitely helpful stuff. If I can break 1800 blitz on lichess by watching these vids, worth considering the monthly donation thing. Currently 1650 or 1700 on a good day.
when analysing your games after you play, does anyone else find that the chess computer gives a different recommendation for the "best" move when the same resulting position is arrived at by a different means? not always, but fairly occasionally
if you are in learning state.... don't resign. push your self to correct the problem rather than leaving the problem behind. you will learn something for the future. we all know its not fixable... but its not about win or lose. its about your learning process.... i know because i am learning too.
Resigning is automatically the worst result. There's a chance your opponent will make a mistake, confident that they were winning. Disconnecting rather than resigning or playing to checkmate is definitely bad manners, though.
Although I resign if I lose a piece, for no compensation, I respect people who don't. Some of them are terrific defenders and it is not very easy to win even up a piece. That goes for all levels. So it doesn't really matter what your elo is.
Sacking the bishop of a Q+B battery on h3/h6 is a common pattern; you get two pawns for the piece, but the king is very exposed. -- Seeing how forkable black's pieces are is somethimg you'd have to manually evaluate. It doesn't always work, though, of course.
Most of the Indian who love chess follows Dan like me.. So may be this time his opponent knew he's playing against him.. Hope someday I'll get a chance and Dan will point out my mistakes.. Love from India..♥️♥️♥️
9:20 man how I hate this childish behaviour, disconnecting instead of resigning in a completely lost position. But the worst is when they let the time elapse, this should lead to an immediate ban.
this serie should be called: "The sensei punishes blunders in the opening of low rated player". Would be nice to see games with more than 10 moves before checkmate
Dude! He doesn't even end his videos with a "goodbye I'll see you next time!" It's just oh that makes sense I'm glad *roll my shitty outro lol. Great content as always but wow this one was the worst lol
"I should do a prophet compilation", hahaha. We would love to see that

I didn't even notice the Queen was out of squares. This is such a great channel for teaching, thank you.

It makes sense. Assessing King safety (in the open/not castled) can be hard and also finding the right king moves in an endgame.
much smoother editing, thanks. love your work.
I disagree, I find that there are too many cuts, which ruin the continuity.

Why are people asking for reporting the opponent? he was rude by not forfeiting but Daniel said many time a player can do whatever with his 10minutes.
He is just a boring guy who wants to annoy his opponent, if he can't play like an adult (I mean not like a spoil child) he should play sth else
It's not thanks to your videos, but I've climbed from 1350 to 1250.
6:09 I didn't understand how you saw this was ok.
He's up a queen, it opens the enemy king, and it's not even a sac because it allows for forking-checks that win back pieces.
