Danya: In the higher ratings I will not be explaining basic concepts in the opening or basic tactics Also Danya: Since the pawn captures diagonally, it's protecting F6
one thing danya doesnt mention when analyzing with an engine is that if an engine shows an advantage you should look at how many lines maintain that advantage and if its exactly one move then its likely a very hard position to play unless the move is terribly obvious.
Very well said. Sometimes I also look at a seemingly equal position after the game (materials equality) and the engine gives a plus 3 ... and I wouldn't understand why. I tried to follow the exact 1 line and with the crazy computer idea and I just give up. I totally agree that people (esp under 1500) don't really learn a whole lot by following those advance computer ideas. I'd much rather play solid positions and stick to the ideas I know, either exert enough pressure to induce a blunder, or slowly build up a positional advantage over time, or just winning a pawn here and there to take it to an end game. I didn't understand why Danya wasn't too fond of the engine-eval ... but the more he explains the more I understand his rationale behind that claim now.

Yup, in very complex positions I wouldn't trust the engine. But masters do so very much because they know it is worth analyzing and actually studying variations.
Right!?! The number itself is nearly meaningless. You also need some idea of the number of moves that maintain advantage or lose it, if there are close mates or draws, material, and transposition. But that kind of analytics could be overwhelming.
Well put. This line is very sharp. I think everyone under 2000 would easily blunders here and there, given how little variations is there that would give black an advantage or even time to consolidate.
True it can make you deadly in the SM, but it requires a lot time to learn all the lines but on the other hand black going into the SM is easily the most common move, so it is a good investment in time. I would play it but I don't have that much time to devote to chess, you do have to be ready to play a bunch of other moves too.
I’ve been playing the morra for about 10 years now. Started playing it when I was around 15. Saw it on Kingscrusher’s ICC blitz UA-cam videos. Bought Mayhem in the Morra when I was 18. By far, and it’s not even close, my favorite chess book. The writing is engaging and hilarious. The lines are crazy. The romantic spirit seeps through every variation. Cannot recommend it highly enough. I’m 1800 USCF now and the Morra is still my weapon of choice against the Sicilian.
@@chrisbeaudoin9818 I found it the alapin to be perfect for me until about 1900. After that I found I could never really get an advantage after the D5 line from black
@@wilfredpease9785 I am just 1600, but there is a Chessable course on the Alapin, and it makes me hope for the D5 line...

Keep the videos coming Danya. I have watched every single speed run and instantly click every single speed run that is released. I fuckin love this series my Elo is only going up and I'm barely playing these days just watching your videos
There still hasn't been a single Morra game in the speedrun where Danya has been able to showcase the true power of the gambit. Most have just been really anticlimactic blunders by black.
It’s insane how fast people fold against this opening. Other super aggressive gambits like the Danish will see way more resilient counterplay across all content creators. But every time I’ve ever seen Danya use the smith morra the opponent crumbles immediately.
@@pepega3344 The true power is that it has no refutation to date, definitely not "losing" even by computer standards, and is very unnatural to play for black while white, if they're studied in the basic principles and tactics, usually finds very dangerous moves.
Hey Danya, really enjoy these videos. I have recently climbed my blitz rating from about 800 to 1200 by playing the Smith Morra and Sicilian even with no prep and just my tactics. Thank you for being a legend
I think Daniel's explanations are fantastic in all his videos, I learn a lot with them. But I would like to see another kind of openings, for example Philidor, Caro Pirc, Reti... Thanks for your work!
For me is the opposite, i love these speedruns because he used 2-3 openings, so it's possible to see different lines. You can check also older speedruns like oh my lands
Philidor is trash, caro is too easy to destroy, pirc is lame, and reti is like the vegan opening of chess. He definitely doesn’t need to cover those openings.
I had an 11 move win in the Morra against a 1950 in a classical OTB game this week. After I put the knight on d5, my opponent just collapsed. Psychologically such a strong opening.
Just wanted to say thanks for the speedrun series. I watched every single one over the course of some weeks. Started playing shortly after that. Been playing for 3 weeks now. Used to play occasionally against the windows computer and sometimes watch chess games as entertainment but had never played online or in real life. The strategical insight from watching the speedruns has ben amazing. I'm 1300 now online in 10 min games with something like 100 wins and 40 losses (started at lowest possible rating so required lots of games to climb). I think I can keep climbing quite a bit yet. I know it's low rating but still seems pretty fast progress. Have been doing TONS of chess puzzles as well since I started watching the speedruns. That's obviously key for improving quickly. I do feel like the strategical insight from your vidoes though has given me a big edge at this lower rating. I don't know any openings in depth but I almost always get an advantage out of the opening by just trying to adapt what I have learned from the speedruns. Usually play pirc, hyper/accel dragon as black and ruy lopez, c3 sicilian as white. Losses has been either blunders or running out of time because I am to slow in the opening and early middle game. Anyways keep up the great work. Chess is awesome. :)
Accurate moves by white, but as you pointed out d6 is the move for black. It's uncomfortable for black, but after d6 black unwinds because the d5 knight is now under threat because black can clog the e file with Ne5 at the right time (obviously black doesn't mind losing a pawn if a piece was won in the meantime). Black just needs to keep his cool and not panic which is true of many black opening schemes. As a NM who has played both sides of the Morra for 30+ years I can attest to the value of Esserman's book. I would recommend this book not just for those who want to play either side of the Morra, but to anyone wanting a better understanding of how positional play and initiative are related. The Morra exemplifies the famous Fischer quote "tactics flow from strong positions". And that's the challenge for black - avoiding a fatal compromising of the position while muting the white initiative. Objectively I don't think the Morra is sound (and Esserman underestimates some of the black set ups), but you need to be a stout defender to prove that. Everybody loves to gambit a pawn and attack, but players need to work on their defensive skills as well. Sometimes it pays to play like Iron Tigran. It still is one of my blitz favorites though.
Funny.. In a position roughly @8:50, I would have semi-instinctively went for a 'hope-chess-variation' with Bf6, but looking at the position for ~30 seconds, I figured it would have been a very bad move :-)
Hey Danya, I was wondering if you've ever seen/tried a new game that came out called "Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate." It's based on chess rules but with some significant twists and is gaining some traction in the twitch sphere. I'm really interested in seeing how a GM would approach it.
I'm kind of proud of myself for seeing Be3 Nxd5! Not sure I would have spotted that in a real game, as I would probably have just played exd5 immediately as black. You are making me want to learn the Smith Morra, Danya! Great video as always, great shame the opponent blundered the mate, it could have led to interesting positions otherwise.
Newbie note to future mediocre me… do not accept the Morra😆 I want to echo the suggestion of a minimal chess library video. I’d also love to see a more in-depth look at analyzing one’s own games (not assuming any “chess partner” or money/luck for solid coaching, etc.). That’d be such a valuable chess-for-life skill! I’ve already looked at several videos about it and am, well, less than impressed. The GM Danya take would be so valuable.
The white pawn on d6 is thematic for the Halloween Gambit for which also a pony is sacrificed. But in this gambit black is slower to develop with this c5 nonsense. The biggest difference is the other knight gets saced so in the Halloween game Nb5 and Nc7 is a common threat.
On the subject of books, games collection books are good. I started playing 7 or 8 months ago. I got stuck around 800 then read my 60 memorable games. After I read that book I went from 800 to now being 1300. This is on lichess I'm actually 1100 over the board I think. I don't play much over the board because of anxiety but when I have played I drew against an 1800 at my club. I've never played tournaments or anything though so not amazing but I will say getting past 1000 was mostly down to me reading my 60 memorable games
In the line played, on lichess opening explorer, after h6 Bh4, g5 is the most played move! Average rating 2146!! Then Nf6 checkmate is played only 8 out of 17 times!!! Average rating of players that did not play Nf6 checkmate is about 2200!!!
I was feeling terrible after blundering a mate in a level endgame - just trapped my king and snuffed it. Watching someone 500 points better do this makes me feel slightly better.
at 20:52 for example, why is d6 strong for black? i cant see how it aids development in any way. is it just to prevent white from pushing d6 in the event of takes twice on d5, opening up that possibility of taking the knight?
I think it’s just a multi-purposeful move. You push a pawn, gaining some space in the center, covering the e5 square, giving space for queen and, what’s also important, prevent Nc7 ideas after Bg3 for white. You just don’t immediately have a game-changing move for black so you have to gradually strengthen your position. Great question, by the way!
@@НикитаВолегов-й9ш ahh i didn't notice that Bg3 idea. all that makes a whole lot of sense. i thought it was odd with how it really limits blacks dark square bishop, but i guess its not like it was going to move away from f8 anytime soon. thanks for the response!
The most difficult thing in Morra is to keep the initiative. As soon as black gets to trade and block in his position white knows he runs out of ideas and has to go into end game. Usually a pawn down. For black I recommend to play accelerated dragon against Morra. There you have a late middlegame at around move 6
@@KuribohdudalalaI would say that any opening is trash if the opponent knows all of the theory. The difference is g6 lines appart from others is that there for white, if black knows theory, is nothing better to do than to go in the late middle game right away.
nah we all do stupid mistakes at 1900 from time to time. After a long day of work or some headache and i want to play chess i feel more like a 900 than 1900
Danya: In the higher ratings I will not be explaining basic concepts in the opening or basic tactics
Also Danya: Since the pawn captures diagonally, it's protecting F6
The opponent won't be forgetting this one for at least a decade.
Let's be honest. We all knew what was coming the moment Danya pointed out that the King was boxed in.
Not from a 1900
with 11 minutes on the clock.... you gotta retire from chess at that point
I heard Danya's voice in my head: "Imagine if a knight were to appear on d6. That would be checkmate." Just turned out to be f6 in the game.
one thing danya doesnt mention when analyzing with an engine is that if an engine shows an advantage you should look at how many lines maintain that advantage and if its exactly one move then its likely a very hard position to play unless the move is terribly obvious.

he thought for a bit after Nd5 so unlikely he knew the theory tbh
