I found Carlsen's channel games are good to be combined with these lectures because the two GM's thinking styles look somewhat different, this channel as a primary and other guy's games like Carlsen's, Dubov's, Hikaru's and other's in addition would be great.

You’re the best chess teacher on the internet. I’ve been watching your master class for a while and the breakdowns of every move and the thought process behind it makes it easy to remember and apply during games. My win percentage is at 78% in rapid nowadays regardless of what color I’m playing. Thank you so much for this! You have helped me grasp the fundamentals of beginner chess.

Day 30 of saying really amazing content, again danya. You're my chess hero. You're so clear and principled, which are the best qualities to find in a chess teacher. Thank you so much, and your stream is so hype too.

Opponent survives till move 4. Danya: "the game is already over"

Hey Daniel, I have a suggestion for you. I've watched some videos on King's Indian and I feel like many lecturers assume that a move "should" happen (because it usually does at a GM level), which isn't very helpful for beginners that encounter a lot of misplays. To properly punish them, they need to know the idea behind each opening move, which holds value even in the middlegame, where even against a player that responds "as they should", they might become available. I feel like there is space on the market for opening tutorials that painstakingly explain every detail about the first 5-10 moves, with each idea and common mistakes.

@trallegas6589

2 жыл бұрын

That's a really good idea,I'd say the king's indian would be a bit harder to explain than other openings bc,as we all know it's a hypermodern opening and therefore gives up the centre in a way that can maybe feel unnatural to beginners (or at least that's what I experienced when i started out playing chess and played the king's indian bc i didn't know there were other possibilities) but most of the opening moves in most openings still apply to the same logic that those in the middlegame do,have your pieces on their best possible spot(not necessarily where they're most active if they're vulnerable to attack),determine which trades are advantageous(for example in the king's indian the lighsquared bishop for black is,from what I understand,something you don't want to ever trade bc of it's potential in the attack,in the advanced caro you don't mind trading off your bishops bc the positions generally can favor knights from the positions being closed,etc),don't overextend which basically means that if you feel like by pushing a pawn you're probably gonna have a hard time defending it(even if you're accomplishing something minor by pushing it then it might be a bad idea,obviously this is not even close to something you can take as a general rule and there's many times where overextending is fine bc there's more important things going on and it might win you the game but that comes down to experience and your judgment and the same applies in the opening,you might not always need 2,3 or even 4 pawns in the centre if you think you're gonna struggle protecting them. I love the idea of video you proposed but if he doesn't see your comment i hope this at least helped slightly,obviously can't explain anything detailed bc it's a comment but good luck with improvement and if you feel that you don't understand the ideas of the king's indian,don't worry,it's a really hard opening to play,as a lot of people have said the best response to d4 for beginners is probably the QGD bc it's a lot simpler to grasp and understand all of the main ideas.i went on a huge tangeant and you're probably not gonna read all of it 😂

I like chess factors videos like the caro kann advance variation intro video Hanging pawns also goes into decent depth

The benoni is one of my favorite openings. It can transition into the nasty blumenfeld gambit (if white plays Nf3 instead of Nc3). In the mainline benoni you get a scathing bishop on g7 that bisects white's center pawns on d5 and e4, a half open e-file targeting white's center, and the ability to chuck your queenside pawns to dislodge white's center. It results in super crazy positions that are a blast to a play. I hope we get to see Danya play it in the future.

dude i discovered your channel a while ago and let me say that all videos i have watched are awesome. your teaching is amazing. i really feel to be able to improve my chess thanks to you :)

Awesome stuff, Daniel!

Love these videos! When I open youtube and I immediately see these videos I instantly have to stop everything I'm doing and watch before I do anything else.

Love your stuff man. Appreciate the content you put out

You're amazingly good teacher. I've seen so many instructional chess videos on YT but yours are so much more clear and easy to follow. Keep it up my man, you're amazing.

That first game demolition was majestic. And so simple. And yet I will need to watch it 9 times before I fully understand what you did.

Thanks for doing this series.

Thank you for these videos ❤️❤️❤️

Major helpful to have the repeated explanations of the key points in the positions. Host Demeanor in these factors keeps me returning repeatedly. Greatly enjoy your focus on your You Tube audience, other streamers fail in that important regard. It's what actually builds a Twitch Audience. Bottom line, your Style is top shelf for Instruction. A Million Thanks for what always proves to be most important for a Creators success. Warm Regards and Appreciation from Oregon! ... Mike.

I hesitated to comment coz i had nothing else to say than "i like these alot cool yeah". But just like many have stated, these help A LOT, youre a natural teacher. You should definitely keep doing these speedruns. I watch alot of chess content and these are very educational while also being fun and enjoyable to watch.

Thank you so much for these series. This is super useful and interesting At these levels where you still roll over everyone, I was thinking it could be interesting to sometimes play a suboptimal move proposed by the chat - this is the kind of mistakes we would make but they wouldn't be deadly, so it would be super instructive to see how you get out of a worst position!

LETS GOOOOO!!!

Such great thumbnail. Let ppl get the big picture behind the classic game of chess.

I thought this position from 2:20 was in the shankland d4 course, and is good/fine for black after knight takes knight and meeting queen takes bishop with e6, we bring our knight back to d5 with the tempo we gain from our pawn attacking the queen. Does anyone know if I am missing something there?

Can you try to play a Grunfeld in future videos? I am currently learning it with a book by Yaroslav Zherebukh and I would like to see the application of the main concepts in a Grunfeld with their explanation by someone like you :)!! You're the best chess teacher and I'm happy that you're doing this instructive speedrun. Thanks in advance ☺

Opponent exists Danya - now thats already a mistake...

Hi Danya I saw that you tried to put timestamps in the description. You have to put in a 00:00

Gut

Danya will you do a deep dive on the Catalan?

Interesting that the set up played by white in game one was played to a draw by Wesley So in 2019 vs Shak. (Probably not his inspiration tho!)

When the opponent resigned in the first game, Danya wanted cxb2+ but it seems to me that c2+ was checkmate in one? Am I missing something? White is completely lost either way but theoretically they could go: Qc2 cxb2+ Kd1

How much is your typingspeed? It sounds like 200wpm

He makes everything sound and look easy

Master class it is

Background is good

I just played 3 ppl as white in Benoni and I asked myself- which chess streamer recently released the Benoni vid?

You didnt need to crush his souls like that. I mean, that was a massacre.

Love the coaching for beginners. Danya makes some advanced concepts very attainable. That said, I hope the audience isn’t fooled into thinking these online ratings are associated with over the board chess ratings. Game one - knight move, 2 candidate moves, calculated three deep. 40 seconds -then blunder Another blunder before move 10 FIDE 1100 USCF 1200 Game as white - black almost makes it to move 15 before blundering. Kids playing recreational chess play better than this after one year. Danya is so good I wish he would have an intermediate and an advanced class. Intermediate perhaps online rating 2000-2300 Advanced 2300 and up. John Bartholomew has a channel that is has a section divided similarly to what I recommend above, but with 200 less FIDE rating points than Danya and a much more passive style.

please post the videos daily....can't wait 1 day gaps

2:20 that is *EXACTLY* what he practiced for!!

1:39 "Bf5 is also possible to stop e4 but the only problem is it doesn't stop e4" I don't know why that made me laugh so hard

Cool thumbnail.

02:25 Sam Shankland (and Stockfish) disagrees with your assessment and in his Chessable course recommends Nxc3 and after Qxf5 e6 and the knight can safely retreat back to d5. Black is a clean pawn up with white not even having a development edge.

play a old bennoni against d4 danya it’s my favorite opening with black you’re the best❤️

I think there was some discussion of this in the last video "Defeating the London System", about the structure it leads to if white tries to hold onto the extra pawn.

Great, instructive video as always - thanks a lot! One humble request though- it would be fantastic if you could refrain from playing with papers near the mic, it's really distracting from what you're saying. Maybe I am weird to pay attention to such things, but I'd be infinitely grateful if you took the above plea into consideration :)

1700s getting flak from 1200s because they have a GM playing 'for' them.
