Love the chess history, please don't worry it is uninteresting. Super cool to hear how the game developed from someone that understands the game so well. I would watch every second of a series where you only reviewed history and old chess lines.

Thank you for your tutorials as always, Danya!

[@Joeschmoe4472]

Dude, drinking a beer with my girl when I get the notification. Just stopped everything and forced her to watch the speedrun with me. Your the man dude 🤘🏽

[@Jon_Blake]

Sensei is back!

[@gus-199]

Thanks Danya for sharing the beauty of chess through your incredible work!

[@rogerpaul8918]

Nice to see descriptive notation for a change. That's what was used in 1972 Fischer Spasky & I still use it. Like E Lasker said; "it describes the action."

[@niemand5799]

I do wait everyday day for a video like this! Danya, you're a pure gem in this clickbait climate!

[@ThunderChickenBucket]

love it, always learn from these vids

[@harpAlmo]

The history is great. Easy enough to scroll forward for those that don’t enjoy it or want to get on with the chess.

[@ddenti99]

Thanks for the video, Danya. Cheers from Brazil ❤❤

[@imawatermelon1439]

Just recommended your videos to my chess club here in Germany, hopefully some will finally watch!

[@initiativ_e4]

Hi Danya,
Thank you for the amazing and, as always, instructive video. Are you planning on to continue your endgame series? It has been insanely helpful for the last couple of months

[@paulsarkady6827]

This helped me because I just drew a game where I messed up this opening with white, BTW I’m a big fan, was really rooting for you in world rapid and blitz

[@ber7129at]

My partner thought it would be romantic to surprise me with a candlelit dinner. It was lovely until the cat decided to investigate and singed his tail on the flames. Romantic, with a side of fur-scented ambiance🧡
