Legit! Love Eric's Stafford and London content. I also enjoy educational content and Daniel's speed run content is great for that even if I'm not looking to even become decent at chess right now.

Seeing you go GM in the last ten seconds is truly a sight to behold. Like fuckin watching Goku have fun with his opponent before going Super Sayan

Just won my first OTB podium, in a local U1500 tournament! And it's all thanks to Danya's instructive content, playing the openings Danya recommends, paying attention to active development and king safety, noticing pins and watching out for forks, getting excited about xrays and discoveries, weak squares and outposts, open files and batteries, and all the rest of the wisdom I could retain from the videos so far. Thanks, Danya!

Danya's appreciation of Rosen really warmed my ❤. Danya and Eric are two of my faves.

Your level of self-awareness is one of many factors that make you such an amazing chess instructor and player. Keep doing your thing, and your life's trajectory will lead you to fulfillment. Thanks for putting yourself out there.

as an 1800 you cant imagine how incredibly proud i am to see the guy in the bongloud game making danya struggle,i havent been playing chess for too long but i'd like to think ive put a lot of effort in (helped by the legends danya,levy and eric) so seeing someone i'd consider of similar strength to myself playing so well against a gm,even if he did play the bongcloud i cant help but feel happy.thanks for this series and all you've done to improve our chess danya,i know you get comments like these on all of your videos and its for a reason,all of us really cant wait until the next one of these is out.By far the best chess teacher on yt as well as one of the most grounded and down to earth people imaginable

It’s extremely helpful to see how you play defensively, it doesn’t happen as often in your games but I think it’s the patient and ‘ugly’ moves that I have the hardest time finding. Thanks as always and please do more positions where you’re forced to play on the defensive!!

that subtle Hikaru reference lmfao

Daniel is humbly world-class. He played five games against Magnus a couple weeks ago and won 2 1/2.

6:40, "Covid conscious move" A new level of chess vocabulary 😂

yessirrrr! almost fainted as no video yesterday! haha your speedrun series are more interesting than whatever im doing! 😁

hey Danya if you see this just know you help me get through my day idk why your videos bring me sm joy it’s so wholesome

Thanks again for the amazing content!

Hey Danya! For your next two gambit snuffing videos, two that I would really love to have confidence against are the Elephant and Latvian gambits. I love e4, and I love the feeling of having a Danya inspired line to help me go through the Stafford. So these two unsound gambits getting a line like that would be awesome. Also, thanks for all the amazing content you put out!

It shouldn't! Not all gambits are tricky and unsound, and giving up material temporarily for an advantage down the road is a necessary part of chess. For example, the Queen's Gambit is extremely solid at all levels, from beginner to advanced.

@@GMBethHarmon the queen's gambit isnt a real gambit tho,you're 95% of the time not gonna lose the c4 pawn and even if you do theres a lot of activity to show for it,my personal issue is that eventho i know when giving up a pawn for activity is the recommended or better option,i cant really capitalize on it bc im more of a slow positional player rather than a tactical one.Not saying this is in any way an arguement that gambits are bad and shouldnt be played,im just saying that its incredibly hard to be able to play them correctly(ignoring the theory aspect of openings,just assuming you play with no previous knowlege and just your own proficiency in the game guiding you)

@@trallegas6589 If you feel you're a positional player, you should give the Queen's Gambit another try - while it can become pretty tactical, it frequently leads to very positional games, especially when it's declined (Slav Defense, transposition into the Catalan, etc). People only say the Queen's Gambit isn't a real gambit because of how solid it is (which just proves that not all gambits are made equal!). The pawn can be taken back by white within the next few moves (and if black refuses to give back the pawn, they will end up with a losing position, if white plays precisely). However, it's still a true gambit, because there are plenty of lines you can opt for as white where the pawn is genuinely sacrificed. Even at a beginner level, the Queen's Gambit is one of the most popular d4 openings, because it's easy to play and very sound, unlike some other gambits. The Queen's Gambit shouldn't be thought of like the Stafford or the Elephant Gambit - it's one of the major openings for d4 as the Italian Game or the Ruy Lopez is for e4.

The best crossover episode of all time.

Hey Danya! I’m curious if you’ve seen Eric’s recent video on the G5 Stafford? He’s been calling it the refutation of the refutation of the Stafford, it may be a cool video to check it out, see what you think?

Stafford gambit AND the bongcloud?! oh my lands

*Happy Eric rosen noises*

4:48 I was tricked into getting up and checking if someone was knocking on my door.. LMAO

That Hikaru impersonation had me laughing!

Bongcloud rook lock tactic at 30:10, I’ve never seen a movement like this in chess before this. The knight looks like a lever to block a pawn and wedge it in the corner using a bishop which is controlling the center. Crazy

Hey Danya, great videos. Start your timestamps at 0:00 so that they appear on the video itself ;) You can edit the description and try it live

Daniel is always so proud of his Stafford video.

That was an unexpectedly good hikaru impersonation

What an honor for Mujo Babajic getting to play against the mighty bongcloud and it's against gm sensei Danyaaa!

34:49 This is an eternity. I agree, actually. Having played about 8k bullet games, having that amount of time is more than enough to win an endgame up a queen :D

A london video and a Stafford right after?? Eric Rosen is in shambles

Nice

Dan was really funny this video

Nice :)

Lovely.

at 6:55 I really like rook f to b8 to simplify personally, with the queen a5 trap I have blundered so many conversions in low time lol

Look at Daniel man... so inspirational

The tapping finger triggered my anxiety 1000% 😋

Great video. More bongcloud please.

I am sure this upload makes IM Eric Rosen very happy!

Masterclass.

It's not about discouraging others from giving gifted subs, but more about keeping the commentary appreciative and natural. Great content as usual; I'm always pleasantly surprised this series isn't behind a paywall.

true, play whatever you like...garrychess played against anand with an evan's gambit (1995 tal memorial) and beat him in 25 moves. (i know he's a legend but the point is that even he indulged in gambits) if you're interested in seeing kasparov on a few streams, check out chessbase india's channel where he has done a GM chess session with Sagar and a few comedians and he mentioned his love of gambits :)

6:56 epic🎉

Jonathan Schrantz has a video on youtube getting a draw with blacks against Stockfish 8 with the line you recommend

How do you recover from the bongcloud against an 1800? Be a GM - Oh nice... no worries

25:02 this need to be clip

Could you do modern defense / robatcht next?

What's the other openings do you recommend for 1000 rated player with black. I always play Stafford when e4 is played. Any recommendations please

Love how all the players think sensei danya is slow and when there's 10 seconds left he suddenly premoves to victory and they think "wtf just happened" 😆🤣

I thought the bongcloud was referring to the opponent moving the king in the first game 😂

how much of this is transferable to no-castling chess, like Vlady Kramnik and Vishy Anand recently played?

These 2 games are representative of the 1800 level chess, one game was played well, in the other game the 1800 player blundered his queen.
