I love you so much. I'm on a rerun marathon of the speedrun because of how stupidly instructive it is. I'm 2000 cc and the one thing your speedrun has made me realise that it's really just the basics that matter. Most of us just falter to being impatient with our calculation despite the understanding of the game or because we're too fancy for our own good. Thanks for this speedrun, Danya. It will live long as some of the most instructional free chess content on the internet
Thanks, coach, for these wonderful videos. I moved from 1200 to 1500 by following a strict regime of your videos. I watch a video and immediately play a few games with all the concepts you taught fresh in my mind. Best cases are those when the opponent plays the exact line you played against. I talk through every move just as you do and that seems to improve my understanding tremendously!
You produce the best and most instructional chess content I have ever seen. These speed runs have massively improved my chess. I can’t thank you enough

Every time i see one of your videos i learn more about the game, is just an indescribable and unteachable skill that stocks in my mind but i am not a good player yet, and i need to be more tricky, but i am on the way.
Hi Daniel, I finally reached 1200 rating in rapid after playing chess for about half a year. Your videos have been extremely instructive and are half the reason why I climbed the ladder so quickly. Keep it up!
That's great ! Wow... Really cool also seeing the old book copies . Can you please zoom in on the old board diagram some time ?, that would be awesome ! I struggle with old book descriptive notation. Algebraic seems a lot easier. Great lesson thanks GM Danya. Part 2 on the chigorin would help us a lot. This is an opening you need to know like the back of your hand.
I played in a tournament last week and I got wrecked by the same Nb1 tactic you showed at the end of the video. I had to give up an exchange but I was able to win the game eventually. When you asked to look for white's refutation I was able to spot it quickly because "the wound still hurts"
Thanks sensei Danya, this was a very clean game overall. So far at this level the opponents are starting to play less sporadic and with a small momentum in moves and a bit of planning. Still though, nothing perfectly concrete or with a whole clear end game. I cant wait to see the next episode. 😎
I have already written many times how good you are and how instructive these videos are. If you could, I'd really like you playing the French at least once. I know is one of your least favourite openings but I (and many other) play it all the time as black and it would be nice to watch and hear you playing once. Wish all the best anyway
How exactly do you search for similar tactics in database games like you do with the discovered attack on the bishop by retreating the knight and opening up the rook? Can you show us how you do this?
I didn't know chigorin advanced Russian chess so much. I play a lot of his opening styles (as a current 1200 rapid), mixed with the reti opening, always liked his play. I will have to look more into some of his deep analysis. Have the old journals been translated?
I don't understand the theory of the chigorin system because after d4, d5, c4, Knight c6, can't white just take the pawn on d5 attacking the Knight and forcing Queen takes d5 and then white can develop his Knight on c3 with tempo hitting white's queen? I don't understand how this is okay for black...
@@jycegaming8530 I mean at around 8:00 , Danya said himself that he was going to explain why it's inaccurate after the game, but I guess he forgot about it.
I was wondering the same thing, after looking at the position for some time my guess would be possible f4 ideas undermining the knight and creating weaknesses for black after defending with f6, also it might leave the dark squared bishop without any real prospect because you block the diagonal. Additionally, white can then dominate your bishop by playing a3 at some point. Keep in mind im only about 2000 myself so i might very well be wrong in my assessment. Hope my input helps however :)
Interestingly enough exf3 isn't as bad as it seems to be according to SF even though gxf3 is still a little bit better and leads to more complicated positions. Sf 15 dev has them within 0.1 of each other at 1.2 billion nodes and 37 depth using MV =2. Funny enough when white castled K-side and not Q-side, the evaluation went from -0.89 to -1.96, so this may have been the losing move interestingly enough. Castling Q-side attacks the knight and also has the king close to black's Q-side majority. Lastly, on another note, Nf6 with later the idea of h5 was considered better than Ne7.
Does he have all the games he shows memorized, and recalls them by the tactic that just appeared in his game, or does chessbase have a tactics search engine?

Hello Danya, I am a subscriber and I have watched your youtube videos for many years. You are an inspiration. Keep up the good content because your videos are amazing. I have even try your openings in some tournaments. I am from Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. I just started to stream chess live on twitch and a youtube channel SLK CHESS. I don't get many views despite my videos being very good. I played Nakmanson, Urusov openings and many other gambits. I sometimes play against SuperGMs.I also made videos where I sac some of my pieces and my queen leading to checkmate but still not getting many views. I am also going to play against Nigel Short,1993 World Championship Challenger, in an OTB simul around 1st April. I just wanted to ask if you are interested in doing a collab with me where you can help me prepare against Short. Thanks for your time.

I come for the analogies
Been waiting for the chigorin! Just ran into this set up today, and I had no idea how to proceed. Thanks Daniel.
Sorry, I might missed it but what is the drawback of e5(when the knight in d4)? Isn't it good to make an outpost for the knight?
I think he didnt like blocking his bishop's line of sight
How exactly do you search for similar tactics in database games like you do with the discovered attack on the bishop by retreating the knight and opening up the rook? Can you show us how you do this?
He probably just remembers those games

Chigorin Defence
Watch ur vid daily with coffee❤️❤️❤️thanks😊
Daniel, what are your thoughts on CBT
How did he search for that position with the same tactic?

I don't understand how this is okay for black...
You didn't defend the d4 pawn, black just plays Qxd4, free pawn. e3 or Nf3 is better
Danya is at my rating now. And I play QG a lot so this is good. I play Reti a lot too. I wish he would play that more. Oh well, still good content
still wondering why e5 (when the knight is on d4) is inaccurate

Hi next time if you make. A chigorin video, could u cover the game kasparov vs ivanchuk game where they played this opening
Does he have all the games he shows memorized, and recalls them by the tactic that just appeared in his game, or does chessbase have a tactics search engine?
It's both, I know he pulls up games that he remembers, but other times he does a search by plugging in the same moves into chessbase
Why not knight take the free pawn instead of forcing a queen trade? Is it because after being a pawn up, a queen trade is favourable anyway?
Yes, I’m assuming that is why
Because he said the queen threatens both bishops and after the queen trade, the knight can go to c2 and check and win the rook.
How many openings do I have to learn to play good chess grandmaster Daniel?
Probably better to be good at one or two than be ok at many

Look forward to these every night

What about 3, cd? Black looks like he's getting steam rolled.
Black looks pretty fine to me after Qxd5, you can't play Nc3 and develop with tempo because white's d4 pawn is hanging
