@@darklightmaxi8045 i think hes contrasting that while he advocates for both the alapin and grand prix, he is yet to play the grand prix. to answer the original comment, i think danya is trying to keep things simple especially while we're still at relatively lower ratings. i think he wants to teach more about beginner concepts and ideas rather than be able to just outcalculate a 1200 player. i do however think that a series on attacking as a whole could be really cool; playing a bunch of games against players equal to him and basically just playing the same sharp lines, explaining ideas of the opening/position and showing off cool tactics.
ive spent a friggin ton of time searching for good youtube to explain move by move for my levels and this is leagues beyond everything i've scoured over ! thank you so much.
I enjoy how GM Danya steps through possible moves and showing how some are not as good as they might seem and others good but needlessly complicating.🙏
Such a clean video, very calm thought process and clean execution, opponent played as well as he could for his rating. When a gm has this much time to think over the board there's nothing to stop the inevitable checkmate. Daniel is a great teacher and a class act. o7 to you sir
Nice video Danya. Not sure if you’ll see this but can you please increase the volume of your videos in editing? The youtube ads are always so much louder than the video which blows my eardrums out
It’s insane how well Danya explains chess. It would be so nice to have him as a coach but I unfortunately don’t live in Charlotte so it’ll never happen.
Hey Daniel, I really enjoy theses classes on chess that you make. I would love to see you explore more about the "common themes" that you refer before the opening, and explain how you play around thoses themes more. it is one thing to know theory but I feel like once I am out of the book, I am clueless. big love
Watching Danya's speedruns turned me into a very patient player when it comes to slowly converting a winning position, which increased my rating rapidly as my main problem was rushing with under-prepared attacks and eventually blundering
Great pacing and explanation of your thinking. There are so many resources that teach specific openings/tactics but it's hard to find things that explain positional chess as well as you do
I know these games are played on stream, but if you read the comments here and take any requests, would there be any chance of attempting to get a Belgrade gambit or Krause gambit? You’ve already done the four knights scotch which can lead to both of these gambits. Love the instructional speedrun series, keep up the good informative work :)
I love how if someone under 2000 plays accurate moves people instantly ask whether they’re cheating lol Edit: also, to Danya’s point about the Bg1 move at the end of the game, it’s actually one of the motifs covered in checkmate manuals like How to Beat Your Dad at Chess, so could be considered pretty fundamental.
I literally open UA-cam saying "mmmm I need to find a video on the ponziani, maybe Danya has something... This was the first video on my recommendations😂.
You are an excellent teacher and after watching your speedruns my rapid rating went up from 600+ to 900+ but there is a lot to learn, and as I learn more, your videos and make more and more sense. You should try what Levy started doing recently. When playing at 900 level player, instead of picking IM moves, he would choose moves that are inaccurate or border line blunder and sometimes even blundered mate. Point is, that way, we get a weak position similar to our own games. Perhaps you can try that. You are a GM, and most of the viewers are probably going to be
Daniel, can you talk about your use of chess databases sometime? For example, you were looking up certain positions that led to a checkmate as in the game. How do you do that exactly?
Caro gambit, learning is fun! ( I was going off of my computer didn’t know they were going to say the name, interesting that he didn’t know the name 🤔)
You never talked further about white's queen going to h5 instead of b3 after the game. During the middle of the game, you said if the queen went to h5, black would block with pawn to g6 and then you would kingside castle. Wouldn't kingside castling make the king too exposed with the pawns advanced? Wouldn't it be better to queenside castle?
Hey Danya, please make an opening series covering various variations of the King's Indian/Sicilian Najdorf/Ruy Lopez. I'm sure it will be a massive hit!
Danya, I'd LOVE a masterclass on the Grand Prix. You've advocated for both the c3 sicilians and the grand prix, but haven't played it even once.
Yea danya you should do grand prix!
He played the c3 sicilians, right?
Search for miodrag perunovic, he has 3 lectures on the grand Prix that are great, almost 2 hours of videos

Please turn the audio volume up a bit in the future, I have mine at maximum output and it is still rather quiet. Thank you. :)
I doubled checked to see if it was yours that was messed up but nope lol I had mine maxed out and could barely hear it
+1
Maybe ya'll need some earphones because (at least in my opinion) it sounds perfect 🤔
@@elielsilva7432 I wouldn't argue against that :)
but in some videos I don't need earphones
Yes... audio sucks 😮
Danya, I need you to post about 3 times as often as you do. These are just too good.
If danya posted that often i would be a gm
My new favourite Chess teacher. The speed run you already did was amazing 🙂

5:30 you know the opponent is playing well when danya checks their rating history
No he was archiving the game. He always does that when he plans on putting it in a UA-cam video.
Been waiting for this opening for so long
Those few moves leading up to checkmate were beautiful.. great game!

Absolutely love your speedruns
Thanks Danya. Best educational content out there!
props to your opponent to have played this until the end

What a mate 😊 Beautiful lesson against the ponziani!
I just wanna say thank you Danya! Just finished watching this video and then went on to win 7 games in a row and got to 1200 blitz!
21:13 that's a pleasant thing right there. Nice dynamic finish

the belgrade gets my vote as well!!
GOOD stuff. Thanks for this
Great content. Thanks for providing it on UA-cam.

Yessss finally new video 😊

Danya is THE KING of chess instruction! He's also a nice human being it would seem.
Finally Dayna's playing the ponziani, thats what I play!!!
*opens video*: oh no... hes defending against the ponziani...
1:14 f3
Oh man that checkmate was simply poetic.
It is funny that I can relate with the idea at @20:13 which I realized after analyzing one of my games
FINALLYYYYY PONZIANI
Ponzi opening! yessssss
Thanks
Maaaaaaan your videos are good
the Bg1 idea is covered in chapter 20 of "how to beat your dad at chess" - excellent book.
Daniel has the patience of a saint, I tell you.
super exciting game
21:06 MATE!
The most impressive thing here is instantly finding the example game. Shocking memory capacity.
He is using a chess database search engine to find games with similar moves.
3:17 Wait this was *all* book???
Dude for theory this is short, most gms know hundreds of lines up to 20+ moves
It is if you're as nerdy as Danya

13:18 isn't there a fork on rooks after nxe3, qxe6, nc2?
Qxe6 is a check
Hey editor, can we possibly raise the level to -16 or -14? Been having trouble hearing using my smartphone then leveling has been a pain on my PC
I was falling asleep to the video and then a stupid youtube ad popped up and blew my eardrums out :(
@@dinkleberg794 two words: vanced youtube
I love these "speed runs" that take years
this is supposed to be an instructional speedrun, not an actual one. He's teaching us openings and chess principles so we become better players
16:11 Isn't Queen f7 more direct?
Edit : Nah ok after Qf7, Nxe4, Qg6 there is Ng3 I'm sorry
Daniel, can you talk about your use of chess databases sometime? For example, you were looking up certain positions that led to a checkmate as in the game. How do you do that exactly?
No member benefits on the channel? I would gladly be a member here
7:47 Bc8 would have been a nice trap if Queen grabs the pawn. Perhaps too obvious, tho
Qc6 ?
should do a vukovic gambit video, its a stockfish line in the ponziani where it sacks a piece for 2 pawns
Caro gambit, learning is fun! ( I was going off of my computer didn’t know they were going to say the name, interesting that he didn’t know the name 🤔)
Yepp my bread and butter right there!!!
Volume's too low. Tried on several devices.
Also, tremendous class!!
why did Daniel 'archive' his opponent?
at 7:09 how come you could not play Bc8 and if white takes the extra pawn you win the queen via the check on h2?
He doesn’t play tricks
Please make the videos a bit louder? The ads blow my ears
You never talked further about white's queen going to h5 instead of b3 after the game. During the middle of the game, you said if the queen went to h5, black would block with pawn to g6 and then you would kingside castle.

Hey Danya, please make an opening series covering various variations of the King's Indian/Sicilian Najdorf/Ruy Lopez.
I'm sure it will be a massive hit!
Would take about 5 years lol
@@tameshrew469 i meant one of those openings, not all 3 of them. If he makes a series on the Ruy Lopez it will break Chess YT
@@nikhilrao3448 that would be pretty good actually, there are so many variations for black though that's why I stopped playing it actually.
Why can't the queen just move off of the g-file after ...Rf2?
Ponziani . Botez variation
Honestly? An excellent game.
Hi Danya I love your speed run series, you got me to 1300! I owe you a ton- I live in Charlotte, let me buy you a coffee! :)
need more volume bro..
That mate was so pretty
Danya’s unprompted spurt of Russian awoke things in me
Audio sooo low
I have called the move police... if you keep up this stalling before making a move they will have to take action.....MOVE already !!
I watch erick roseen and play ponziani for several times. Then i wacth danya counter the ponziani 🙄
