      When I first started watching chess channels on RUclips I didn't play chess myself (before that I only played chess when I was a little kid) and because I watched those videos I thought that chess was a lot easier than it actually is. Basically I thought that I would be 1500-1600 elo immediately when I start playing chess. When I started playing chess on my own, I was rated 600 at first haha. It took me a year and thousands of chess games in order to reach that 1500-1600 level that I thought I would reach immediately.

    Danya! Thank you for everything! If I may offer a humble suggestion, around 4:30 you made an intuitive decision and only calculated to castles, based on your knowledge of the position. I think if you could let us know what things you foresee based on your knowledge of similar positions we could all learn a lot. Like what is the down side of the other choice?

    • @Mathijs_A
      @Mathijs_A 2 года назад +7

      I understand your question, but he did say it was based on a lack of development and a rook coming to c1 in the future. I don't think there is much specific to foresee in this case, white will just have clear initiative and the risk is that you, say, have to give back a pawn to not get pushed away. I personally would have gome for it (2250 lichess rapid), as Daniel said: he also decided this plan just to keep it simple and be certain he's safe. At almost any level the pawn is certainly worth more than the initiative

    @Daniel Naroditsky I often use the "continue from here" feature on lichess to drill openings and endings (For anyone who wants a tough challenge, set up a random Q + K vs R + K position and try to win with the queen or draw with the rook, it is incredibly difficult against stockfish max level) I also sometimes do correspondance games against myself on a different account to then analyze my games and work on specific openings simultaneously! You're right that it is an incredibly powerful ressource, especially when paired with the study function

With the intention going to B5, same principle as what you did with your rook on B3. Would you have played then like for example rook B1..rook b6, Queen E2, rook f8-B8 etc?

    @Alexander-mw1ek 2 года назад

    Stockfish has repeatedly recommended the move 4. d4 in that position as black (following 4. e5). It’s my opinion that after you play this, white’s position is embarrasing. The e5 pawn is overextendend and weak, white’s d pawn is backwards, and blacks advanced d pawn is actually very strong. Usually, you end up winning one of the center pawns, or getting enormous compensation while white struggles to hold them

    @DudeTastic13 2 года назад +1

    I finally understood why Danya doesn't play the French. He just doesn't love double pawns on the C file & he doesn't love the light sq bishop blocked in. This is like the 3rd game to which it gets transposed to a French position but with the light sq bishop outside the pawn chain. Anyway, it's pretty darn cool to watch him play this game and winning without even involving his queen.

  • @AmazingMr99
    @AmazingMr99 2 года назад

    Can someone explain to me why Danya might not want to mess up the queenside pawn structure in the opening, and thus played Qc7? What about this position would prefer Qc7 over another developing move?

    • @archiebellega956
      @archiebellega956 2 года назад +2

      Well no need to mess your pawn structure unless necessary. But move Qc7 is a common moves in many variation of Sicilian, as it's an all-purpose move, and the center is closed enough that you can afford the lack of development a little bit.

    • @therandomrat5238
      @therandomrat5238 2 года назад +1

      As a french player, letting the opponent ruin the pawn structure or continuing developing, this choice comes down to preference. However, QC7 is a multifaceted move, clears the queen from the backrank so in the event that all pieces were developed and danya castled, he wouldn't have to worry about connecting rooks. Another reason why I think Qc7 was played was because of the possibility of white playing Qb3 which could lead to some problems (black's b7 pawn is fairly weak in french structures)
      EDIT: also the obvious pressure on the E5 pawn

    • @huckthatdish
      @huckthatdish 2 года назад

      @@archiebellega956 yup, as Danya said “we can afford such niceties.” Cuz things are closed and you know white wants to play d4, so black isn’t even behind in development. And the tempo on the pawn discourages white from developing in response. Either they take like they did in the game or play d4, either way development remains pretty equal
