I think 10+0 is a happy medium. I love your 15+10 vids because you can go in-depth, but you're right, there isn't a ton to analyze when you're facing 600s. I think switching at around 1200-1400 is unlikely to bother anyone.
Yeah, I also feel like 10+0 is the best time format, also because (just like in the 5+0 Speedrun) Danya can focus on the "instinct" part as there is no increment
but 15+10 also means that the 600s will have more time to think (meaning hopefully A LOT less blunders). i don't blame him for not doing it, it must be boring to play, but for us, he could just cut it out. i'm not saying he should do that btw, imo there is no point in playing in this rating at all, especially if he's gonna play moves like 8:23. if you see a 600 playing this move, it's only because he blundered
Yeah, it’s very rare that people use the additional time until the 1500s, anyway. 15+10 just results in people with 17 minutes to spare in a completely losing position.
In my opinion, you are the best chess educator on this planet. Maybe some individuals are better but the combination of reach, accessibility, experience and ability is unparalleled.
@@jasper9481 There may be better chess teachers, but I have not found them as they don't have the reach. They may be behind a paywall, or speak another language. Jasper, your IQ is showing.
My advice to low rated players; don't premove and insta-blitz your moves. Try to actually think about the position and then make a move to the best of your understanding. Great content as always Danya TY...
There are people arguing for the 5 minute control - as a side project, it’d be interesting to see you teach intermediate players how to play faster time controls, but that’s what it would be for. 15+10 at high levels is an absolutely unreal format for teaching chess concepts, it is what makes your content LEAGUES better than any resource I’ve ever found on the internet. Puzzles, watching GM games, nothing will come close to simply watching you explain what the important concepts are in depth, because chess is a game that requires this understanding first and foremost. Others are saying they are “tired” of the old format. As of yet, I think your fans are FIENDING for more games. I must emphasize this - there is NO ONE doing what you’re doing. If you do do the 5 minute series, please don’t do it at the expense of the most uniquely powerful instructive tool of a GM playing rapid games with the intention of teaching. BTW, the Kings Indian absolutely rolls kids at the 1300-1400 level. I have a 65% win rate against any non-London 1d4 opening
And I didn’t say this, but thank you truly. My life was in shambles for most of last year, and new speedrun videos were sometimes the only thing I had to look forward to. I hope you never stop doing what you’re doing, because it means a lot to people like myself.
Respect to you man. Your comment gives me a feeling that you don't care about gaining rating but rather getting strong enough that your rating will need to keep up with your skill. A true chess fan you are.
I really like the 10 min time control, it's like the sweet spot in between. Similar to Eric Rosen's current series, enough time to be very instructive while not too long to be dragging
You are an amazing content creator and educator but you also give off great values as a human being, which is even more difficult and valious. Ty for existing and for putting your time and effort into our perspective Danya
Switching to the longer format is definitely the right call - maybe a blitz speedrun alongside, but overall having the time to deeply explain everything is more beneficial overall i think
Nice instructive games thanks ! I think the old schoolers refer to it, as the extended fianchetto. But I like the hyper fianchetto too. I think its definitely a hyper fianchetto when you put it on-prise because of a tactic. That was a fantastic example bye the way. Great job !
I'm so proud that I found Ne5 against the scholar mate and I never knew if it was good or bad. It's the first time I see it and by none other than Danya! 💪💪
I was really enjoying the 5 min speed run games, I’m trying to improve at that increment and it was very helpful seeing your thought process. I primarily play 10+0 so I think that is a good mix of both as well.
At 19:04 white does have a way of winning a piece by first playing e4 and then following up with f3 and g4. It's obviously still completely winning, but this shows exactly why it's better to avoid complications when you are completely winning
In the first game the most important, the most instructive move for me was pawn to c3, because (and I mean this honestly) you said so. For me, the biggest block to moving forward in chess was thinking my ideas alternatives to GM plans. It's so very important to deflate the ego and accept that if the GM says so then your move is bad. Deal with it, or quit playing.
I love these Speedrun videos because your level of teaching and explaining is greatly impactful! Thank you and I am absorbing this knowledge and understanding. Keep up the great work!
HI danya, i wanna say thank you first for the high quality videos. And a suggestion I wanna make is it would be very helpful if you could put the link to the game in the description.
18:20 e4 instead of g4 is an interesting line here. (Bxe4 f3 Bf5 g4 is like the line shown but white has made space for the king to avoid the checkmating idea) it seems like black will lose the piece but can pick up three pawns for it
I'm officially going to refer to Ba3/Bh3 etc as hyperfianchettoes from now on and claim that it has been given that name by a well respected grandmaster (which is true) and act as if everyone else is a fool for not knowing this haha.
If I want to learn an opening, I think 5 minute Blitz is perfect because I can see how you play all sorts of different variations (full Jobava London speedeun would be awesome). If you are trying to teach other parts of the game, 10 + 0 is perfect.
Plenty of blitz online to watch- but there’s only one Danya. I think the quality allowed from longer time controls makes it ideal. Ten mins is definitely a good medium.
Danya, at 6:05, thoughts on Knight E4 instead of D5? I'm thinking about the mounting pressure on D2, plus the C file and disconnecting white's queen + knight
at 2:33 after ..c6 isn't d6 by white a little annoying? By the way I think it's a good call to go 10+0 at these lower levels, and switch to 15+10 when the opponents get more serious
I agree that longer formats are the way. Although there is certainly a place for lower time controls. I feel like more people can understand longer time controls however. This is unfounded however I need more experience to know.
18:21 I found Bh6 which is just....excellent....threatening mate and black has no time to take and has to block.... [edit haha, should have watched the next seconds, although I think the immediate Bh6 is cleaner.]
3:00 isn't Ng4 obvious and winning? Opens up an attack on the knight and theeatens the dark squared bishop. If the bishop moves you take the knigt. Only other variation I considered Nxc6 Nxe3, Knight takes queen, Knight takes queen with a fork on the rook and white's knight is trapped. I might be missing some tricky defence
I was surprised you traded rooks rather than playing Bh6+ at 7:35, esp since you're always reminding us that alarm bells should ring when major pieces align on diagonals. Not that the outcome was in doubt but I'd rather keep my rook and exchange the bishop for a pawn and a rook if white plays e3 (or win the rook outright if the king moves). You didn't mention the move during the game or the analysis so it appeared that you didn't see it, which seems very unlikely. Perhaps you valued the bishop more highly in that position but if so I wish you had explained why.
Hoooly shit did I hear that right?! A Danya King's Indian chessable course?! Fuck me that's excting! As a KID enthusiast I don't think I've been this excited for any chess content in quite some time!
I've watched almost all your videos and they are very instructive for chess enthusiast. But, your opponents elo are a bit low for some player even though they are helpful. Could you please demonstrate your thought process, calculations and pattern recognition etc, with a higher elo like above 2000 for more advance player. Thanks... GOD BLESS YOU DANYA ♥
It is interesting to me that Danya's beginner advice ("keep the tension") is the exact opposite of Aman's in his building habits series ("always trade when offered"). Can Danya maybe address why keeping the tension is a better rule than always trade (recognizing all rules have exceptions of course). Why should a beginner keep the tension over simplifying the position?
I love the speedrun although im way happier with a 5+0 one im still gonna watch this but you couldve started atleast at 1000, I doubt that you have many viewers around 400 elo. Also no 400 player ever watched a analysis of his games/ would watch you analize some example of your previous games or they wouldnt be 400 rated. Levy is already doing the babysitting, you should make more content for people from 1500-2500 😊
I watch your all 15 10 speedrun videos they are best and i improved to 1900 rapid just by watching your speedrun and practice it would be great if you upload some 15 10 speedrun videos
Hello Daniel, I am 1800 rapid and I play KID vs d4 and pirc/ modern vs e4. I would like to evolve and change my response to e4, what do you suggest? Thank you!! :)
Hey, I am definitely no Danya but I do have the exact same reportoire as you at consistently 2100+ rapid (2220 peak). Tiger's Modern by GM Tiger Hillarp Persson really opened up a new world for me when I hit a plateau against e4. The core concept of the super early a6 and b5 throws off so many e4 players and offers really cool attacking oportunities! And if you want something completely new while still keeping the beloved Fianchetto'd bishop on b7 you could look into accelerated and hyper-accelerated Dragon setups in the sicillian. However people seem to be significantly more prepared vs any sicillians than the modern and so you will inevitably face theory a lot more often.
@@noone-ld7pt thanks for taking the time to write your reply :) yes, I cannot play without THE BELOVED BISHOP on g7 🖤 I will definitely look into the modern Tiger. I just had too many traumatic experiences with the pirc when my opponent pawn storms in the king side ahahah. Sicilian dragon looks interesting as well but too much theory and sidelines
Yeah I also love the idea of a friend competing with me, understanding and learning it together watching danya's videos. But they all hate chess and thinks its boring or nerdy. 😢
You gotta love how low elo chess players think. That play super fast when the position is even and then when there dead lost they start to think like at that point it matters
I miss the good ol’ days when every video was relevant to me. Now that I am 2200 I lost interest as soon as the opponent blocked his e pawn with Be3. Maybe I’ll find it in me to finish the video and sift through for a piece of gold that Danya always produces. I’m not saying there is nothing for me to learn here, the odds of it being instructive just goes down bit. Good luck to all who are climbing. Danya allowed me to self teach to 1700!
Thanks for this perspective of yours. How did you went from 1700 to 2100 then. Also now that you are 2100 does 1700 feels to you like "just don't blunder". If not then till what point is that the case for you?
@@sauravsharma8461 Can't answer for OP, but as a 2100 (2220 peak) myself 1700 feels very much like a "just do not blunder" level yes. However I realize that is not that helpful so a more tangible thing that was very game changing for me was learning to fight after making mistakes. At 1700-1800 I would so often just give up when I blundered but remember there is a reason why your oponent is a similar rating too, if you give them enough chances they will make mistakes as well! I remember watching Eric Rosens queen sac challenge against Alexandra Botez (highly recommended) and thinking: "If a WFM can be tricked to make that many mistakes up a freakin queen than anyone I face at my level can be tricked as well!"
@@sauravsharma84611700 is basically about not blundering tactics and spotting them for yourself as well as being able to accurately judge variations. It’s around the point where theory matters more too.
It is wild to me how the 600-700 level is almost nothing but a gauntlet of players that play "hope Chess" where they attempt every cheap 4 or 5 move mate in the books while hoping that the opponent falls for it. I'm really glad there is nothing like this in Go.
At lower levels you should really just stick with 10+0 . Only after 1100 should you switch to 15+10 as there is not much to do against sub 1000 players, and you can explain your strategy and still win with 3 minutes remaining on the clock.
I really love this channel but I dont think there is much to gain for most of the viewers when u are playing vs. this ELO range. I would really like you to start this run around 1200-1300, but you do you ill be back as soon as u get there :)

I believe the accepted term for developing one’s bishop ‘past’ it’s natural fianchetto placement (to the a-or h-file), is ‘an extended fianchetto’.

Why not 5+0 at lower levels and increase the time later on?
They’re literally just making up strategies at this point. “Nice, my opponent is playing the Bulgarian inquisition so I’ll play the Borscht defence”
Much more watchable (for me personally) - certainly at this rating level.... Think 5 minutes would still be more than ok at this level too...

@@sauravsharma84611700 is basically about not blundering tactics and spotting them for yourself as well as being able to accurately judge variations. It’s around the point where theory matters more too.
It is wild to me how the 600-700 level is almost nothing but a gauntlet of players that play "hope Chess" where they attempt every cheap 4 or 5 move mate in the books while hoping that the opponent falls for it. I'm really glad there is nothing like this in Go.
Leave them alone.
I swear folks are silly. Danya should have continued the 5 min Blitz run. It was so fun.
Chapters are wrong on this one, game 2 isn't listed
Danya the deliverer, he always delivers
The thumbnail mentions blitz, guessing it needs to be updated now it's a rapid speedrun again.
At lower levels you should really just stick with 10+0 . Only after 1100 should you switch to 15+10 as there is not much to do against sub 1000 players, and you can explain your strategy and still win with 3 minutes remaining on the clock.
I really love this channel but I dont think there is much to gain for most of the viewers when u are playing vs. this ELO range. I would really like you to start this run around 1200-1300, but you do you ill be back as soon as u get there :)
