(Almost) Exhaustive List of Danya’s Teachings: - When you find a good move, look for a better one - Don’t let your bishop bite on granite - Your pieces don’t always have to be conquering Mount Everest/ developing a Covid vaccine - The threat is stronger than the execution - When your opponent plays passively, strike in the center - No need to reinvent the wheel, just develop pieces normally - Bad bishops defend good pawns - You want to perform a task with the piece of least possible value - Sometimes your knights need to go to Frankfurt airport - Keep the tension - Something something potential energy - Queen should be the supporting actress - Loose pieces drop off

I wouldn't consider it a vaccine when its effective rate is in the 60% only. Also, it's a gene therapy in lieu of the truest definition of a real "vaccine." But yes I do get Danya's point.

That's only dangerous if you don't understand that g6 famously creates two weaknesses (h6 and f6), and the point of Bg7 is precisely to cover those two weaknesses.

Haha, I like Danya's casual sarcasm when he addresses the chat about the strong knight outpost "ya, you can sac the queen" 😂

Hey Daniel! Today I faced the Four Pawns Attack in the KID and didn't quite know how to respond. Fearing my pieces will get swarmed and trapped I played Bg4. The guy went Qb3 and I kept trying to get pieces out with Nbd2, which, ironically, cut the bishop's retreat path and it almost did get trapped. Anyway, when I was later reviewing the game, Stockfish, obviously, laughed about Bg4, and so I checked what the Book says. To my great joy I found that there was exactly one master game on the Lichess database in this line, and that was your game against Kayden Troff in 2011. I wonder if you remember the game at all, but have almost no doubt that you do, as you're always pulling them out in your videos to illustrate specific ideas. Man, I am a massive fan of your speedrun series and your approach to chess in general. You are by far the best teacher on KZread and the coolest GM overall. I especially like how casually you demystify master level chess by freely sharing your experience and methods. Anyway, take care and thanks for everything!

Super clinical conversion there.

Two key challenges to common wisdom for me: giving up an outpost on my half of the board isn’t always a net negative, and playing a “trick” that’s still a solid enough move if it doesn’t work is okay to try sometimes. 🙏🤔

Hey, mate. In that case, black can take the bishop with the g pawn, if the queen takes the pawn, Bg6 defends everything and black is three pieces up. The dark square bishop can come to g7 and the king is chilling out behind a stronghold. Cheers from Colombia!

Seems like the distinction between trap and tactic is not very clear. Maybe I misunderstood, but the ‘trap’ in the game if he’d first moved e4 was down to calculation?, vs moving Re8. Both cases are discovered/double attack. What’s “trap”-like about moving e4 first?

@aayushhegde6738

2 жыл бұрын

@RG001100 The move e4 was not a trap, it's a straightforward move. The move Re8 'sets up' a trap in the sense if the opponent blunders, we win a piece. Danya calls it a trap cause with perfect play from opponent he doesn't win the piece but he played Re8 anyways because it didn't harm his position.

@@aayushhegde6738 it was the best move according to the engine. i don't think it was a trap, a trap assumes your opponent overlooks something and loses material or advantage, but Re8 was just plain out the best move.

The question isn't whether you're ruining your position, but if you're giving away the chance for something better. Here you objectively weren't, but made it seem so until the analysis. It's super important to avoid allowing your students to think winning is learning. It's the same issue as with the Vienna Gambit - yeah you win a ton of games, but only in the short term because opening wins are honestly just worthless.

Danya is susceptible to trolls. They're annoying
