Hey Daniel, just wanted to say thank you so much! been playing chess since I was 9 years old with my dad, fell off the game for many years and got back into it because of you. In the past 2 months I’ve gone from 1082 to 1473 ELO, largely due to watching your videos. I always had talent for the game, but I just fell off of it around 13. I basically played to become good enough to beat my dad and then forgot about it. Your videos have helped reignite my passion for the game. I watch almost every day, your positional analysis and your explanation of the deeper principles of chess have allowed me to play like an adult rather than a child. Most people try only to show cheap tricks and traps that rely on your opponent making a mistake, whereas you explore lines of “best play” in a way that a non GM can understand. Trying to discover/create that “best play” has always been what I enjoyed about chess and you reminded me of that. Thank you so much for all the work you do. I wish great success for you.
Hey Danya, thanks so much for making this high-level chess knowledge available for everyone to learn from. You are an EXCELLENT teacher. I've been watching your speedrun videos religiously for a long time now. At the beginning of this journey, I would struggle to actually predict the moves you make, even after taking your 'hints' into account. But now, I'm able to predict many, maybe even most of your moves, even before the hints. The way you talk through every move is pedagogical mastery. I feel like I now have a mini-Danya in the back of my mind that I can consult. I can ask myself 'What would Danya say?' and it actually helps. Keep being awesome :D
Loving the higher rated games, and especially deep thought and consideration on the level of the Kasparov on Kasparov books. Your own coaching perhaps necessitates a character such as R.B. Ramesh but the explanations you provide to my less advanced understanding especially in terms of strategy, I find incredibly useful to my own improvement. Welcoming the longer videos! Many thanks, M. D.
Not only is this another video for the Accelerated Dragon but a deep wealth of End Game knowledge!!!!! Double bonus!!!!! Thank you very much for the great content as always.
It's always incredibly interesting and insightful to have an analysis board open with these games. It's great how danya identifies the vast majority of relevant moves, even when he discounts the best computer moves. He will also sometimes beat himself up over a move he made that was technically the best move haha.
Kudos to Dana for the incredible job in this chess streaming video! His deep analysis, precise calculations, and engaging commentary truly make the games come alive. I'm always amazed by Dana's ability to break down complex positions and explain strategies in a way that's both educational and entertaining. His passion for the game is evident, and I'm grateful for the valuable insights he provides. Keep up the fantastic work, Dana! Looking forward to more insightful streams like this in the future. 🙌🏼🔥
A funny observation as a ~1700 Accelerated Dragon player - I employ the Hyper AD move order and actually get the open Sicilian VERY often at all levels from 1100 to 1700 in both blitz and rapid. Not sure why, the more common AD setup leads to so many anti-sicilians. Also glad to finally see coverage on the bind. Tho it's very funny that for instance Andrew Greet's book is like +50% dedicated to the Bind, yet it's unbelievably uncommon at the club level. So much theory for a line that white rarely even goes for.
But both the Alapin and Smith Morra are quite testing against the hyper-accelerated, more so than the standard move order. But personally I've started to look forward to the Anti Sicilians now that I have a plan against each.
Thanks for some in-depth endgame material. It is so rare on the internet. I think you could make a great contribution adding more. There is almost nothing I have seen of the quality and depth you create for anything besides the basics.
Danya, it's mind-blowing that you post these videos for free. Very, very generous of you. I hope everyone who watches these subscribes to your channel and follows on you Twitch. I purchased the Jobava course, and it has paid huge dividends. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Thank you thank you and thank you… even when the games are not in the openings I play, I find great value in the way of thinking and processing positions.
I feel that I have emerged from this video with a much deeper understanding of such endgames so now comes the tricky part of utilizing said understanding in a game of chess.
Wow this is my favorite yet. The end game ideas, techniques and thought process are Golden. Thank you GM Naroditsky.
Рік тому
Really excellent video Danya thanks! I play the hyper accelerated dragon for a year now and your explanations about the Maroczy lines really helped, keep them coming! 💪🏼🙌🏼
Finally an endgame showcase in a Danya speedrun game! It's been long since an opponent reaches an endgame with instructive value so this is gonna be a special fruitful lesson :D
Whew! There was a lot of food for thought in this long video. At the end of it, I basically felt as if I'd graduated from an entire course on difficult rook and pawn endings. Not easy but chess at the higher levels is not supposed to be easy.
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 Thank you! It’s been like a year and 3 or so months and also lichess is a little inflated my real Fide would be somewhere around 1700. but that’s motivating to hear :)
Came just to comment that danya be looking chad-ly in the thumbnail. I seen clips of him back in the day looking scrawny, but these days he's evolving and I'm glad for him.
At 1:05:10, Daniel mentions a trap that Bobby Fischer fell into in a game against Pano. Does anyone have a reference for which game he was referring to?
Hi Danyya, thank you for all the great content you make. For future reference, I think you need to boost the audio level of your voice when you're recording with this setup. The sound is fine in terms of quality, it's just a bit too quiet. I hope that is helpful, I don't mean it as a criticism.
13:11 I went to check from Stockfish and althought it says this position is equal I spotted as a 700 rated player the top engine move, which is to sac the rook for the knight! My 700 brain thought about sacing the rook for the knight and the pawn that recaptures the rook, but stockfish thinks that's a mistake, so I didn't see the contiuation, but sacin the rook for the knight at that moment is a viable option! You said you didn't see any really viable options of taking the knight back, but I and Stockfish (atleast the semi low depth) thought otherwise:D Okay it was mentioned immediatly after I continued the video, but I wanted to confirm that it's a viable option, you just got to move Qg3 next move according to stockfish and the position is equal. Oh I realized it, I think there's a forced repetition draw if black wants! That's the thing you missed. So yea there isn't a checkmate, but a there is a perpetual. White rook takes black knight on g5, xg5, Qg3 or Qg5, Kh8 forced, Qe5 and the y ou just check the king from g3 or g5, when it's on g8 and when it steps to h8, you check from e5 until you've repeated it three times. Okay yes you mention this at 16:12, sorry you didn't miss it. Anyways I'm proud of myself that I keep finding alot of these high level moves in videos (occasionally in games too), even thought I'm at novice level. Though in this case and in some other cases it's that I find the sacrifice that starts the mate, perpetual, material- or positional advantage sequence, but then I don't find the right follow up:D Like I said I wouldve picked up the pawn also after black recaptures the rook, which would've been a mistake.
Hi, to answer your question (not sure of the time stamp) Wesley So's 1e4 repertoire (if you meant the one on chessable) doesn't enter the accelerated dragon line that we see here. That's because we don't enter into open sicilian. Against 2.Nc6 we go Bb5 the Rossolimo. We do have some Maroczy bind, but it's from another line (2. ...d6 Bb5+ Bd7 Bxd7 Qxd7 c4) and maybe somewhere else too, but if so I don't remember it
6:39 I would never play this with black because I don't know what is my next move if white does nothing. Knight to h6 loses to Bxh6 Bxh6 and exd6, because its a discovery against the rook, so I don't know how to develop the knight on g8 since e7 is occupied by the pawn. I'm pretty excited to see how Danya will handle this...
You see these opponents a lot online, offbeat if not dubious opening but incredibly resourceful. Very strong defense from your opponent, hopefully they play OTB because they'll earn a title very quickly with this strength, given they play norm events of course. Very instructive as always, but especially so this game as a 2100 uscf player. Makes me want to get back to rated events myself, haven't been to one since covid.
Watching you play and analyze is a totally different experience than actually playing. Whenever I play I feel like a blind man trying to navigate through a maze. Do you have any suggestions on how I can start understanding the position better and figure out opponent's weaknesses and strengths?
Привет мои друзья! So Danya, I have heard tons of commentators say that you are one of the best, if not the best 3 min blitz players in the world! Just wanted to congratulate you on being bad azz
39:15 chess noob here, wouldnt white have c6 here? essentially guaranteeing a passed pawn? i guess from calculating the problem would be after c6 axb4 cxb7 bxa3, but then white queens? unless the rook drops f5 king side pawns but then a3 still being targeted, im sure im missing something here, my head hurts LOL 😭
If c6 ever happens then black has to take otherwise the rook will have to stop that pawn and the inclusion of axb4 just trades everything. Also when the pawn is on b7, if Kxf5 happens then Rxh4 becomes a threat if the king cant get to the b7 pawn because when the black rook takes back on h4 then white queens the pawn, therefore swiftly dropping all of their pawns. As an ambitious player who wants to play for better or winning position rather than lose or draw, calculating a line where I’m guaranteed a draw at best case because all of my pawns are dropping is not in my interest.
I love that Danya uploads movie length episodes and calls them "speedruns" it's incredible.
I actually figured out I was autistic bc I watch these religiously but can’t be bothered to watch a movie that’s the same length
@@jamesp6376 genuinely my attention span is so ruined i cant watch movies but im fine watching hour half long chess videos

Hey Daniel, just wanted to say thank you so much! been playing chess since I was 9 years old with my dad, fell off the game for many years and got back into it because of you.

Same, sometime I hear Danya’s catchphrases when I’m about to play a subpar move lmao. Like, “Well this just walks right into a pin”
These free lessons are charity for brains, and Im grateful lol
What’s your rating?
Oh hey there zardoz
what elo did you ge tot this way haha -- i have the same thing with the mini danya but havent seen it convert to a big rating increase as of now
You’re a great teacher. Please, more accelerated dragon games/analysis! 🤞

But that's a moot point

You’re right, I’m also a 1700 rapid HAD player and I’ve only seen Marcoszy bind once against a 1900. It’s almost always open Sicilians
But both the Alapin and Smith Morra are quite testing against the hyper-accelerated, more so than the standard move order. But personally I've started to look forward to the Anti Sicilians now that I have a plan against each.

He should do a endgame speedrun where he tries to get the queens off the board as soon as possible trade a couple pieces.
Some positions require trades, others don't. I don't think that forcing it artificially would be in keeping with his teaching style.
39:15 chess noob here, wouldnt white have c6 here? essentially guaranteeing a passed pawn? i guess from calculating the problem would be after c6 axb4 cxb7 bxa3, but then white queens? unless the rook drops f5 king side pawns but then a3 still being targeted, im sure im missing something here, my head hurts LOL 😭
