      I found Carlsen's channel games are good to be combined with these lectures because the two GM's thinking styles look somewhat different, this channel as a primary and other guy's games like Carlsen's, Dubov's, Hikaru's and other's in addition would be great.

    The benoni is one of my favorite openings. It can transition into the nasty blumenfeld gambit (if white plays Nf3 instead of Nc3). In the mainline benoni you get a scathing bishop on g7 that bisects white's center pawns on d5 and e4, a half open e-file targeting white's center, and the ability to chuck your queenside pawns to dislodge white's center. It results in super crazy positions that are a blast to a play. I hope we get to see Danya play it in the future.

    Hey Daniel, I have a suggestion for you. I've watched some videos on King's Indian and I feel like many lecturers assume that a move "should" happen (because it usually does at a GM level), which isn't very helpful for beginners that encounter a lot of misplays. To properly punish them, they need to know the idea behind each opening move, which holds value even in the middlegame, where even against a player that responds "as they should", they might become available.
    I feel like there is space on the market for opening tutorials that painstakingly explain every detail about the first 5-10 moves, with each idea and common mistakes.

    • @trallegas6589
      @trallegas6589 3 роки тому +1

      That's a really good idea,I'd say the king's indian would be a bit harder to explain than other openings bc,as we all know it's a hypermodern opening and therefore gives up the centre in a way that can maybe feel unnatural to beginners (or at least that's what I experienced when i started out playing chess and played the king's indian bc i didn't know there were other possibilities) but most of the opening moves in most openings still apply to the same logic that those in the middlegame do,have your pieces on their best possible spot(not necessarily where they're most active if they're vulnerable to attack),determine which trades are advantageous(for example in the king's indian the lighsquared bishop for black is,from what I understand,something you don't want to ever trade bc of it's potential in the attack,in the advanced caro you don't mind trading off your bishops bc the positions generally can favor knights from the positions being closed,etc),don't overextend which basically means that if you feel like by pushing a pawn you're probably gonna have a hard time defending it(even if you're accomplishing something minor by pushing it then it might be a bad idea,obviously this is not even close to something you can take as a general rule and there's many times where overextending is fine bc there's more important things going on and it might win you the game but that comes down to experience and your judgment and the same applies in the opening,you might not always need 2,3 or even 4 pawns in the centre if you think you're gonna struggle protecting them. I love the idea of video you proposed but if he doesn't see your comment i hope this at least helped slightly,obviously can't explain anything detailed bc it's a comment but good luck with improvement and if you feel that you don't understand the ideas of the king's indian,don't worry,it's a really hard opening to play,as a lot of people have said the best response to d4 for beginners is probably the QGD bc it's a lot simpler to grasp and understand all of the main ideas.i went on a huge tangeant and you're probably not gonna read all of it 😂

    At these levels where you still roll over everyone, I was thinking it could be interesting to sometimes play a suboptimal move proposed by the chat - this is the kind of mistakes we would make but they wouldn't be deadly, so it would be super instructive to see how you get out of a worst position!

    02:25 Sam Shankland (and Stockfish) disagrees with your assessment and in his Chessable course recommends Nxc3 and after Qxf5 e6 and the knight can safely retreat back to d5. Black is a clean pawn up with white not even having a development edge.

    Love the coaching for beginners. Danya makes some advanced concepts very attainable.
    That said, I hope the audience isn’t fooled into thinking these online ratings are associated with over the board chess ratings.
    Game one - knight move, 2 candidate moves, calculated three deep.
    40 seconds -then blunder
    Another blunder before move 10
    FIDE 1100 USCF 1200
    Game as white -
    black almost makes it to move 15 before blundering.
    Kids playing recreational chess play better than this after one year.
    Danya is so good I wish he would have an intermediate and an advanced class.
    Intermediate perhaps online rating 2000-2300
    Advanced 2300 and up.
    John Bartholomew has a channel that is has a section divided similarly to what I recommend above, but with 200 less FIDE rating points than Danya and a much more passive style.
