The ability to watch a 2600 GM walk through a game of chess is something that can’t be taken for granted. This series is literally one of the most helpful chess tools ever created

Becoming a Super GM is probably more difficult then becoming a very rich entrepreneur. Also, it is much more useful I think. Listening to rich people rarely makes people rich lol.

I love how you always ask “does this make sense?” It always makes sense Danya. You convey information wonderfully.

Kudos to this opponent playing this to the end so that we get the education all the way to the end. Very good sportsmanship and as always, great teaching by Danya

I think this is my favorite elo to watch. No obvious blunders by the opponent (with the exception of a poor opening idea) and just good understandable, methodical, and instructive play, but not such a high level that the tactics are beyond a lower-level player's grasp. Great content as always!

This was my favorite game so far; Kxd7 was mindblowing, and then the buildup against the d pawn and slow positional crush was very satisfying. Want to see the analysis!

I dont know if u read this Danya, but as an 1800 casual player you are the only GM that consistently manages to make me understand your WHOLE games. Credit where credit is due.

I like watching Danya's video with Stockfish on a 2nd screen, you can see how strong he is as he is literally playing the first or second line of the computer every time and explaining why. Definitely the best chess streamer/teacher all over the Internet by far

I'll start doing this as well. Thank you!

Everyone, 19:09 take a look how quickly Danya evaluates 3 possible Q moves to find the checkmate.

I think this is one of the most informative games yet. The opponent didn't make any major mistakes and just gradually got outplayed.

This is my favorite series on YT right now, this is the stuff I've been looking for to take my game to the next level.

day 33 of saying you're kickbutt danya. You're the master of chess tutorials and line instruction. My chess game has improved drastically thanks to you, and I love your stream. Thank you for uploading!

Very instructive and proactive thinking in the middle + endgame. Great content as always

I love this series, very instructive. It’s seems to be so easy with Danya commentary 😂 in my games I always blunder at some point, but still it’s helping me to getting familiar with some positions and understanding them, I’ve applied some patterns in my games from those videos. Getting High level knowledge from top player is amazing, thank you for your work 🙏🏼

Mindbogglingly great. Love this series!

First time visiting this channel and I love it! Thanks so much Daniel!

Watching these videos has helped me improve more than anything else on KZread, you're an excellent teacher. 👏

Thanks for sharing another great video! You’re amazing teaching for these wonderful lessons!

best and most informative chess videos out there... thank you so much Danya! saludos desde Mexico

What a great game! Very entertaining & instructive. Thanks!

Didn't know about your channel earlier. But a GM making things clear in such a way and a totally instructive video like this deserves lot of applause. 👏👏👏 Thank you sir. I'll regularly watch your channel and twitch channel too now to develop thinking process in Chess.

what an incredible game to watch. Thanks for the wonderful content.

Awesome videos. Keep it up. Great commentary

really appreciate all the effort that goes into putting out tthese videos.

I’m late to the party but thank you Daniel for this content! It’s truly invaluable and since watching all your vids I jumped from 1400 up to 1680

I love how you explain!!!

This was such an enjoyable game to watch

Absolutely amazing

As always your video is great

When he says..Getaaaadafff there.. Am trying to improve simply by your videos and i must say I have learned more than any other resource.. Can't thank you enough for this man ❤❤❤

Thank you GM Danya

Watching him move the queen around for the very last move searching for checkmate and finding it so quickly blows my mind. I tried to slow it down to .25x and wipe my mind of the position and came back to see if I could keep up in calculating and I flat couldn't do that nearly as quick as him. Blows my mind

What a fantastic video series....

This series is excellent

That was a really nice game!

Ah yes ive been waiting on this

Thank you!

You know Danya is a master not only because he makes it look so easy but mainly because he can explain it so even a complete novice would understand.

we love you Daniel!

I usually pride myself on guessing moves/lines right as or before Danya plays them, but I don't think I'm alone in not even considering Kxd7 with the idea of Kc6 to follow. I probably would've taken with the rook, controlling the file and preparing to double rooks after I developed the dark square bishop. Weirdly enough, stockfish seems to prefer taking with the bishop (but it also doesn't like the Nd7 move offering the knight trade, preferring instead Nh5 to kick the knight away one move later with f6.) To me, it was abundantly clear how strong the king on c6 made the position for black, defending a well-placed pawn that limited white's counterplay, without ever being in danger of much more than an empty pawn check that was quickly captured back. Excellent and illustrative game!

Yea kxd7 makes a lot of sense when you look at the board for some seconds, but obviously its the difference between him and us that he even considers it in rapid

Amazing game, Danya. After watching videos like this I feel like donating to you. However, I couldn't find a link for donation on your video description. I would recommend you to add links for donation in all of your masterclass videos. Thank you for these lessons. It's overwhelming in a positive way! Love your teaching

Best of luck for the Magnus Tour!

It’s so fascinating to see that endgame where he just casually blitz his way to checkmate A reminder that he’s toying w/ us & could crush you whenever he feel like it. GMs are built different

That was awesome. Can you please do a video on the Sicilian Kan? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Lmao. It's not dangerous at all for black. It's just that the main lines end up very simple and equal and it's hard for either side to get an attack so it's kind of a drag and no-one likes playing it. Sort of like the french exchange.

Clean kill my guy

Yes! The Alapin Sicilian! One of Danya's favorite variations as BLACK instead of White! Whoop!!

Beginners: look for free pieces Intermediate: look for possible pressure and checkmates Advanced: look for positional game and traps, tricks Masters: gaining space advantage, punish inaccuracies, play solid GrandMaster: let your opponent to loose game even with the best moves

When you think you’re playing well but your opponent starts quoting Nimzowitsch

The opponent is really good probably the best opponent to practice with

I think this represents the mindset of a lot of beginners who play the alapin. They play it to "avoid theory" but he just got crushed because he didn't know alapin opening theory.

I'm a little late to the party, but... outstanding instruction.

I just love this series, there is really nothing out there that compares to this in terms of quality of the analisis and how easy and logical it all seems

We are actually getting the valuable insight and thinking process of a Super GM for free, for which he can charge hundreds of dollars.

@@PROJECTJoza100 It depends on what time control you are talking about. He is a Super GM at really fast time controls. And in classical, he is a very strong GM: GM starts at 2500. His current rating (from Wikipedia) is 2623, with a peak at 2647. The boundary for Super GM is today taken to be 2700, so he's closer to that than to GM. Anyway, given that these are 10 minute games, I would think he likely is Super GM in the 10 minute format. (But it's a very uncommon format at higher levels.) Anyway, here is an 80 game fast time-format match against Magnus where Danya wins half the games. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X5un0st_cbXXpNI.html Even if Magnus was having a bad day, Danya's has to be in Super GM land in that time format to achieve such a thing.

He is hyping up weak opponents for some reason. When he plays good opponents, he is mostly silent and focused. This is like watching a pro fighter spar a toddler while giving commentary - woah! This toddler is for real! His punches are lightning fast! He almost knocked me out there, you can never be too careful!

Am I only person who wondering what would be the move Danya play after ed, instead Qxd5?

It’s crazy how positions like this you don’t win anything, there’s not many tactics but the pressure just keeps mounting and mounting then once one thing falls a few moves later it goes from even material to up 13 points. Insane.

I used to play this 100% but now I play this and smith Morra

Whats the knocking sound? for example at 1:14 and 1:27

why cant the 1800s i play against have terrible opening prep involving there queen lol

The way you described his opening moves I expected complete steamrolling and not a slow positional endgame :( Maybe trading queens was a mistake in a hindsight?
