"White played quite poorly overall" he says while he annhilates a 1900 rated player. Honestly astonishing how ridiculously unmatched I am sitting at a 1000 rating. I think one of the things that makes a person at ANY rating watch these videos is how Danya is able to make it seem relatable. I've said it before, but Danya is the one guy with the brain of a chess player, and the heart of a teacher. The only channel where I have post notifications turned on, and this video is one of many examples why that is.

It's amazing to see GM Danya move his queen once THE WHOLE GAME, to G5, on like move 4, and that queen remained there the rest of the game controlling that diagonal, totally unassailable, totally dominating.

Dany, I recently broke 1900 like a month ago and I have to say that watching you play your games with other 1900s is incredibly helpful in showing me that I still have a lot to learn regarding the dynamics of positional play. I absolutely love it, thanks for making content like this so that anyone can watch and really understand the logical reasoning of grandmasters. XD

Isn't that nice that the move which ended the game also constructed Alekhine's gun in the Alekhine's defense? :)

I fucking love this Speedrun series. Thanks Daniel!

Interesting how in the last several games the opening has consistently been an issue, even at this rating. Thx to GM Danya for explaining the thought process even when he doesn’t remember the theory!🙏

White was only slightly worse out of the opening (that's why he shit on his opponents opening because white shouldn't be slightly worse but white was by no means losing out of the opening). White didn't attack on the queenside in the middle game, that was the problem. If I were playing black in this game of course I would lose because I am playing against a GM, but I would put up a better fight by attacking on the queenside.

I've been studying the Alekhine's and following your speed runs and I decided to find another game to study and this popped up. Your content is incredible thank you so much

Really good explanations. Thanks!

You are the best Daniel!

Eagerly awaiting those endgame videos! Thanks for the content

Glad I watched the whole video

It's kinda beautiful that you played Alekhine's Defense and ended up winning by forming an Alekhine's Gun

I really enjoyed your Alekhine from white video and now I get to see black's ideas with this video. Perfect complement.

That was a nice game!

Wow, that is a very educational attack. Staying precise against very defensive opponent is difficult.

Your videos are a great help to guys like me, who want to improve and have difficulty understanding the thought process of strong players. Many thanks for making speedruns like this! ~a 1500 rated player who wants to improve

Thank you

Happy to see you go into this line Danya. As black I play the modern Scandinavian and often get into a position like yours where I push all of the kingside pawns after castling queenside. I often get in trouble by overextending the pawns and have to meticulously craft an attack as white just defends pretty easily.

Awesomeness

That's nice that he played Alekhine's defense and ended the game with Alekhine's gun (kinda). 11:14

One of the greatest under heaven.

Loving the content! Thanks for your hard work; if i could make a small request maybe you could spend a bit more time and show a couple more lines after you punish an opponents opening/early middle game mistake.

I think it’s just depends how you want to play the position. He chose the path to dominate white through the middle of the board instead of down the H and G files

2:34 it's insane how nonchalantly you mention that tactic. Kb8 Nxe4, if black aims to trade the bishops and then capture the knight, black inserts Nxc6+ before recapturing the bishop. You moved your king into the path of the knight.

It's not that hard too see. You are calculating forced lines and if you have been playing games in a longer time format (15+0 or 10+5), it should be immediate. The only reason people fail to see such lines is because they play on instinct (usually due to blitz) and not even calculate two move ahead.

I live so close to him ( NC ) would give the world to play him in a game or two. I’d pay serious money but these GMs have better things to do than to squash nobodies. I will be happy with just these videos in the meantime then.

Maybe you could line up queen bishop battery toward h7 or some other similar idea in order to force them to push a pawn? I seem to remember Danya talking about that.

Danya smart damn

I get this position all the time because I play the scandi modern and for some reason the unwise knight trade shown is what most people do in blitz. I think because it gets rid of your kingside knight. Anyway in I've never seen a video on this variation but within two days both you and Levy player a scandi modern successfully. Maybe it will finally get attention.

Can you do a somewhat dubious gambit? Dumas please!

19:10 this also accurse in the french advanced

Could you make more of these videos playing the Kings Indian Defence? Would be really cool to see your experience with the opening show, since you mostly will play the Caro-Kann in these speedruns

So nice how the queen on D5 didn’t move an inch all game. Wooden shield as Hikaru would put it

only a GM could play a timed game and have enough time to TEACH US HOW TO PLAY, explaining each move and the thought behind it while playing

Im glad my friend from indo battle with danya

Thank you so much for playing this opening :)

I have played the Alekhine in about 5000 3 minute games and I have won over 70% of the games where White play Nc3 and trades on d5 after Black plays d5. I clamp down of the d4 square after I put Bc8-g4 with e5 and c5 and do short castle as I have read in countless books on strategy that if you control the center then you can attack. I am not saying this is the best or only way to go bu I have found it does create more problems for White. Please give it a try.

Wow! This is Morphy style game. Just destroing the oponent in elegant fashion.

2100 here, not the worst try for White to untangle, but indeed, the open gfile for black with even weaker pawn structure for White + open dark Square diagonal (a7 - b1) for blacks Bishop. These facts make f3 less of an Good move. But i would probably play it in Blitz. The position is really just a slow death for White, in longer Time controls atleast. Go f3 in Blitz and create complications. As i Always say, play aggressive Chess if you want to improve.

White played passively. White didn’t attempt to challenge your opening. White didn’t seek counterplay by trying to attack your king in the middlegame and also played Ng5 which lost too much time h6 and g5.

Playing Nc3 against the Alekhine. What a coward lmao

This is one of my favorite speedrun games. Other than playing extremely passively and without an attacking plan in an opposite side castle position (itself a pretty bad strategic mistake), white didn’t make any immediately obvious blunders until the end so with patient play Danya won beautifully.

​@@Excludeinfinityopposite side castling positions are generally races for who can break open the opponents king defence first and go for checkmate, as when kings are on opposite sides, you can push pawns towards your opponents king to break open their defense, without having to worry about opening up your own king by pushing the pawns. If you play passively (ie, not do anything) you will simply lose that race and get checkmated.

But he did reduce his opponent to nothing but moving his bishop 4 times, giving danya 4 moves to improve meaning the opponent was going to be forever stuck 4 tempo behind. It's fun to watch but it doesn't really put up a game of any difficulty. It's fun when there's chances for both sides imo.

@JKLKJ

Жыл бұрын

It always depends on the position. Ultimately, pure calculation is the only way to decide on pawn moves. Pushing h6 often forces black to play g6, technically creating a hook by allowing you to open up the position through an f5 push. Pushing g6 'forks' two pawns, not allowing black to lock down the position at all, although you have to calculate whether the end result is favorable. Pushing f6 is similar to h6, but the square is often defended and you also weaken/lose a pawn closer to the center for no reason.
