As a player around 2000- Daniel I just want you to know I’ve learned more from you than any paid lessons. Everything else is always too rushed and Ill-explained, or too dumbed down. This is just perfect. I love how you say ‘well you might think about such and such moves, but then this happens, so I’m actually looking at this’ because that’s always exactly what I am considering as I watch lol! You’re a gift of a gem to the chess community. Thank you for this invaluable content. You offer it in such a pleasant and perfect manner for me.

Clearly shows that players of this rank are not used to being punished this heavily in the opening for their mistakes. As soon as the opponent realised they made a mistake, they spent a lot more time and effort on their moves and defended very well.

Hey, thanks for uploading, I learn a lot from your videos (the ideas, the thought process, the mindset and lot more). Please continue to make such instructive videos in the future as well ❤️

3:49 Tuco breking bad reference lol

Having researched human problem solving a great deal, a recurrent theme is that people are very hesitant to pursue solutions that temporarily take them away from their goal state. This can lead to bad and inefficient choices. An example is in soccer, a new player can be biased towards believing that crowding around the ball is the best strategy because it feels closer to the goal state (shooting and scoring), yet spacing players out is a far superior strategy. Similarly in chess, over the course of this speed run, especially when a mating attack is near, the tendency of the chat seems to be to choose moves that feel "closest" to a checkmate, even if they are suboptimal and overlook the opponent's resources.

I sorta had this on in the background and the Tuco impression caught me off guard...

are there two separate breaking bad references in this video? that's great

Pulled out the breaking bad Tuco. TIGHT, TIGHT, TIGHT!!!!!

Danya is a true chess learner`s GM. Magnus is by far the best and beast of his generation but people like Danya helps chess grow lot more. Hope this guy qualifies for candidate soon.Good on you Danya😊

Daniel you should really consider making a KZread VOD channel. I would definitely love to have more content to watch all night and give you ad revenue while I sleep

Nd4 is such a classy move after which the opponent is totally demoralized and resigns. At 1800 lichess, people never make such moves. One of the most tough mental things is to lose against people who know zero opening theory (like playing 3. Bc4 in the Sicilian what is called "Bowdler attack"), or playing extremely primitive chess, but that primitive chess is good enough if you blunder something on the way.

Who are your favorite chess authors and would you recommend any of them/their books to a relative novice? I want to buy a book about openings for white but there’s so many on the market, I don’t know what to pick

His first breaking bad ref, where's that "tight tight tight" with Tuco's accent came from :)

A lot of those weird moves showed up briefly as 3rd choice engine moves. And, there was a long pause before the only move Kh1. Waiting for the engine's 2nd and 3rd recommendations that never came?

@Daniel - Happy to see you around! I appreciate this late-night 'Chess and chill' more than you realize. ・I'm taking a break from recording a Chess-related Therapy Lesson. ・I appreciate this /extra/ right now because I'm suffering an unrelated tragedy (that has parallels to the territorial disputes of Chess).

Dear Danya, I've been watching all your speedrun videos and it helps me a lot. I have one question about Sicilian as black. Which one is better for between 2200-2300 rated players: Sicilian Taimanov or Sicilian Najdorf? Thanks

@archsys307

The taimanov but only from 2230 to 2270. If you are below 2230 start with the dragadorf. If you are above 2270 or born on a leap year you must play the Kan.

Danya added elevator music to this video

“Danya does the slowest speedruns in history.” - Levy Rozman aka GothamChess

GM NARO is the Spielberg of Chess video production and his Chess play is exceptional.

Castling at 6:05 is a top GM move which I didn’t understand - why give up an important central pawn? I set up the position at 6:05 on an engine and 0-0 is the second best move losing the d6 pawn. The top suggestion is .. Ke7 but only a small difference in the evaluation even with the extra pawn. Ke7 is such an engine like move. No top chess player will do it. This kind of intuitive decision making is the difference between a top GM and players below IM level I guess.
