I was really surprised why Danya thought this dude was cheating. He kept saying "that's a super high level move", like qs castling or bc7, when those seemed super obvious to me (1400) - just attack the undefendable pawn without conceding positional advantage, it's not that big brain.
@@resir9807 True but sometimes picking the best move out of a few possible good moves a few times in a row either says this player knows his opening or he's super lucky or he's being assisted. The exact timing of a mundane move is what makes it a strong move.
I wish other GMs can stream similar instructive chess. Many times i watched Magnus (and other GMs) play speedrun chess on youtube, and he was just murmuring his moves to the nth level without proper explanation. Danya on the otherhand is the best GM streamer/instructor on RUclips. Learned so much from him. Thanks Daniel. On the side note, Danya's opponent might be Hikaru Nakamura disguising himself also
Danya’s ruined other chess RUclipsrs for me because no one else I’ve found comes close to being this instructive and entertaining. Lots of them are focused on pure entertainment or catered toward beginners, and the more advanced ones feel too focused on theory. With Danya I feel I’ve actually become less dependent on remembering theory, because he focused so much on understanding the concepts behind openings.
Watching Hikaru you understand absolutely nothing except he just crushed another 2000 elo guy in 15 moves in a meme opening. 15+10 is a really nice time format to explain while playing.
I would shoutout GM Molton, IM Alex Banzea and GingerGM (just longer time control imo). All three very instructive. Not quite on par with Daniel though
I think part of the reason cheater videos are popular is that its hard to get a sense of gm strength when its a 1300 getting exploded, but it comes through more on a video like this. Crazy game!
40:13 Danya vocalized all of our reactions. What a rollercoaster was that epic trilogy of the Opening, Middlegame, and Endgame against digitalized precision all culminated into one. "What a game!"
Danya's description of how it feels to play against a cheater is so correct. You just feel like you are blundering every move no matter how fine they seem to be. Your opponent can do things that look like mistakes but all it really does is make you overextend, because it's thinking so far ahead a mistake is actually just positioning. it's so discouraging, no matter what game you are playing. It makes you feel like all your practice and experience is useless. Cheats in general are important to have because they show exploits and give you information you may never have had normally, but when weaponized, it's just so discouraging. It doesn't even really matter if you win or lose. If you win, fine. It doesn't feel like a fun game, it doesn't feel like you earned it.
Danya you're a straight up monster! What an epic game. This could have been a disaster but ended up being a very instructive game still. Way to keep your head and be an incredible role model and pull out a magnificent ending!
Holy crap.. i am stunned.. Clicked the video because of the title (i am not imune to a good clickbait)for a casual quick view to see how you would handle a possible cheater/"GMish" smurf on a type of opening that i have played lot and ended up staying glued to the screen for the whole hour and 15 min and learned much more than i was expecting. You really have a talent for teaching along with an absurd talent for chess. Also i really think the internet in general sometimes lacks some coolheaded handling of these situations that i am sure is not easy and turning it all into an even better lesson seems to me like e double win in this case . Keep up the good work!
This video was worth an hour and fifteen minutes. Don't stress over the length of your videos. You are QUALITY content. You can make them as long as you like as long as they are as good as your average video!!! Trust me no one is complaining on the length of these gems!!!
Fun fact: this guy (who eventually was banned for cheating) actually got ANOTHER game with Danya and resigned after 23 moves because of hanging their queen in an already dead lost position.
Daniel, this was a wonderful video. And this whole speedrun series is killing it. Considering that your recommended opening for black in this speedrun is the accelerated dragon, I feel it would be fun if you had 1 video dedicated to the theory of it. I would probably go back to that video after each speedrun game to try to understand how the real life game played out vs the theory. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Thank you for your time and dedication to making these videos. I love how educational they are. Have a great day, and a great Christmas.
Came here with the modest goal of improving my Sicilian and wow what a rollercoaster this one was. To be honest, it is unfortunate but there'll always be cheaters so it's good to know how to spot them and handle them. No love lost, we're all here to learn
I am happy you still post these games and it is interesting to see you trying to come with desperate ways to to get back material. That was insightful in its own right.
Almost think the rook fork was a mouse slip. Danya said B6 as the dude moved, so I don't think the stream buffer time would have reached the guy fast enough.
loved how you talked through using the engine properly to learn- your way of describing the accumulation of 'ideas' is something ive taken to other parts of my life- :bow:
As a 1400 rapid player that Qb4 line is in my (2.Nc3/Grand Prix) prep as white. My coach who made the repertoire said the line was considered dead before Qb4 and we put a lot of work into the lines that come after.
Super instructional despite the situation and perfect description of 'focus on what you can control'. Very cool to see how you still manage to play and describe your thought process
I think a video showing how to analyse your own games would be really popular! Especially in terms of what software you can use (on mobile in particular), what kinds of lines to look at, how long to spend on independent analysis and how long to use the engine, how to use the engine to best benefit.
Great Stream! Coincidentally I was analyzing this opening earlier this morning, including the ...g5 continuation, as it is a line in Daniel King's Anti-Sicilian course on Chessable.
Very new to the channel. Your talk about not accusing opponents early on, made it an easy subscribe. Even though, you were right! Thanks for the game insight.
Danya - You make these videos interesting; certainly not the cheaters. There's an element of mystery and the prospect of a great challenge, some mindgames, and other fun. Thanks for keeping it above-board and entertaining!
Best and best instructional chess content in RUclips. Cheater or not, Daniel will always keep his composure to give us the best chess lessons in YT. Thanks Danny, other chess streamers can and should learn a lot from you
Thankyou Sir. I really appreciate your chess games and I am learning lot of chess ideas from you.. You developing my understanding how to play opening and further proceed in chess 🙏🏿
He’s become my favorite chess RUclipsr. I used to think he was arrogant but this isn’t the case. He’s very thankful for his viewers and offers lessons in a way that doesn’t make you feel dumb. Some RUclipsrs make content for a narrow rating range; with Danya, however, it’s great 1000 and 2000 rated players can learn so much from the same video with how it’s presented. Since watching Danya 6 months ago I have gone from being a 1700/1800 player to pushing 2100! He’s a Godsend
Actually this game was indeed theory up to 15. Nxe5 with the checkmate combination on the open d file (around 14:00 in the video). This Anti-Sicilian setup can be found on a site called ChessMood (hidden behind a paywall), but I can provide a screenshot from their video material to prove it if anyone doubts it.
@@user-ro9md9wp3j I am 900-1000 and I have 10-12 move prep for 3 openings I play (inspired from watching all GM streamers and my chess club players). I am not doubting Danya but saying 1300s wont know 15 moves is not correct.
@@user-ro9md9wp3j Danya completely forgets the possibility that his opponent could be far stronger and is simply sandbagging (deliberately playing in a weaker player pool to win against them)
35:44 - the epic moment he fell for the trap! Stream sniping seems pretty likely in this context. Ben Finegold has been known to suggest stupid moves on stream to check if his opponents are doing that, and sometimes he catches them that way too.
i don't fully understand how stream sniping would work in this type of game. yes i can see how it would give an advantage to an opponent, but Danya's opp here played several masterful moves (and often quickly) that he was not even considering. Seems like a stream sniper at a 1300 level would only be able to neutralize Danya's planes not generate great ones of his own
As an educational material, this is somewhat challenging since you think on such a high level. I walked away with a few things from this video, though. I like the idea of "solving problems" as you put it. It's been reinforced to study openings and tactics. I used a stockfish engine to beat a bot I hadn't been able to. It's "cheating", but it's also a study. I would try to find the best move, then check with stockfish. There were 3 moves that stood out that didn't necessarily make sense until later like you described, but one I was glad to see, since it "solved a problem" I identified in wanting to take a piece and a strange queen move actually enabled it. Then I thought of a vid where a street player said he's never read a thing about chess, just watching people and since I'm so new to the theory, if I'm able to train with Stockfish and actually think like that independently, then yeah I might be an 800 to recon with!
53:35 jump ahead to see some signature brilliant analysis by DN of why the engine prefers to move the bishop and not the human idea of moving the knight.
I love it - everytime Daniel is calculating he stops looking at the board. Me around same rating as his opponent blunders pieces every game while trying my best starring intensly at the board 😀
Here is a nice suggestion , when the opponent is extremely suspecious or playing very well , you can shift the focus from your perspective to whites perspective and explain why his moves are so strong and how he was able to outplay the moves you made , so in the event of a cheater we get maximum educational value of engine ideas.
That’s basically what he did without flipping the board, you’re not going to be able to flip the board in a real game so it’s good practice to understand it from whites perspective without flipping the board
Bishop e1 as a defensive resource is so insane. Literally 0% chance this guy wasn’t cheating, a 1300 finding a cold blooded backwards bishop move that defends by not simplifying and keeping your king in an uncomfortable position but hanging on by a thread…us lower level players just aren’t capable of finding that and as quick as he did too.
To be fair, a 1600 - 1700 would have found this. Would a 16-1700 be able to win against a GM in a relatively long time control? No. Suspicious game for sure. But still possible for a say 2000 to play like this, and maybe once in a blue moon win against a GM. The most tell-tale signs are the super accurate queen moves, and the instinct to not play the obvious move. They placed their queens perfectly every time, refused to promote, prioritized piece play over material when necessary etc Maybe they were doing their own speedrun. :)
Danya is a great teacher and showed great patience with a 1300 playing like a titled player for most of the game, hmmm. The game shows Danya’s brilliance to still win it! Kudos Danya!
It appears you have played this fellow twice. Second time you did a demolition job. The first game, he was playing at a far higher level.. We all have good days at chess, I guess that was his great day :) Well done on an awesome game!
He was cheating for sure mate. But he put some moves on his own and that is why he lost. That fork made no sense. He had all the time in the world. After he lost his rook he played fast and all top movements again, yes the game was lost but he tried the best
Yep exactly. It’s just not logically possible to play 20+ top engine moves (that are also hard to find) and then make a sub 1200 blunder with no time pressure. There’s no scenario that makes any sense in which he wasn’t cheating.
@@gatosospechosop3 Well...as someone who can play well to generate a small advantage and then blunder to lose the game (though obviously not on a top engine moves only level), I can think of several scenarios where something like this happens. All too well, to be honest. Suddenly someone distracts you, you calculate something and then bust out the move without calculating again after you start going down the line you calculated, and oops you blundered a piece... Of course if he's actually playing only hard-to-find engine moves, unless they're mostly theory, then it would be sus
There's a Chessable course on this sicilian "butcher the Sicilian" from miodrag perunovic, i have found a lot of good positions from it, as Naro says it's not common and basically white takes you where they want
Amazing play under pressure, the way GMs generate counter play in hopeless situations is truly a thing of beauty!
We must learn the way.
@@saintsaens21 This is the way
It made me so overwhelmingly happy when he got the knight fork and win
It feels like all the pressure in the game is relieved.

All too well, to be honest. Suddenly someone distracts you, you calculate something and then bust out the move without calculating again after you start going down the line you calculated, and oops you blundered a piece...
Of course if he's actually playing only hard-to-find engine moves, unless they're mostly theory, then it would be sus

There's a Chessable course on this sicilian "butcher the Sicilian" from miodrag perunovic, i have found a lot of good positions from it, as Naro says it's not common and basically white takes you where they want
It won't work against a GM especially if it's a 1300 playing this repertoire, and I respect Miodrag a lot
@@monstermagnet3150 yeah of course i agree i wrote this early in the video, still a nice variation i think
