Danya is an amazing teacher. Not only does he share his thought process, but he dumbs it down for people like me to process the calculation that goes into each move he thinks through. Phenomenal content and a brilliant chess player and person.
Wow, this was such a crazy game, weird, unpredictable positions are definitely one of my weaknesses, they are so complex and you can do so many things, I become overwhelmed and miss something and resign. This was such an amazing game, I learned a lot thank you!
At 10:30, Danya missed the very clever Bb5, and if black BLOCKS with Bc6, then you can take the free Queen, black cant take back because of bishop pins bishop
I think you're right, nice find. Black is under no obligation to block with the bishop though, but if the black king moves or if knight blocks, you get basically the same thing as in the game
@@fizco6759 Yeah, but moving the king to d8 worsens his position slightly, and most importantly removes his casteling rights, which might prove to be more useful than you can imagine.
I may be wrong, but that was the most brilliant game I've seen today. Maybe it's the weed. Lol. Top notch tutorials, as always. Best quality steamer and RUclipsr
Instead of Nxf3, did you have Bb5+ first? The idea is if Bc6, then Qxb7. If Nd7 or Kd8 then you play Nxf3 and worsen the quality of your opponent's pieces.
@@maxingleby9639 yeah. I ran it through an engine and the moves are basically equal on depth 21. I would just want to give my opponent a chance to blunder even worse and I personally prefer their knight pinned on d7 than on f6
hey Danya, what about bishop takes queen instead of queen b3? because if white takes black's queen, black will reciprocate with capturing white's queen but white has an in between move bishop takes knight on c6 with check, then white takes black's bishop on d1?
"With experience you're going to learn how to break it into its component tactical parts." A U.S. Army War College professor once said something similar to me (re: my thesis on bridging the gap between strategy and tactics in the Clausewitzian matrix) and I thought..."so...finish my Master's...finish my Ph.D...finish my postgraduate internship...experience WW3...win WW4, and I might begin to comprehend the art of war."
I'll save you some time. In that 3 Variation of the World War Opening, the Nuclear Exchange variation is a direct way to bridge the gap between strategy and tactics. The resulting positions are equal, cannot be avoided, and there is no dynamic play remaining after the exchanges.
@@yzfool6639 Sure there is. MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) more or less guarantees that nuclear weapons won't taken into consideration as a viable tactic exactly for the reason that you stated. Many authors have reasoned that modern warfare will be fought on the hypothetical adoption of nuclear technology not even existing to begin with. Of course the theory of rational leaders disagrees with that notion that all leaders are always rational but nonetheless we will be likely to not see any nuclear warfare ever.
I'm 1500 rapid and I think this is impossible for me to calculate in 10 minutes. I've had this position before and the only sensible move after bxf3 is to offer queen trade. There's no way a 1500 will play into this line. Nice game.
What makes it impossible for 1500 to calculate all checks and captures in any position? Maybe calculation isn't the reason you might miss the best move after 'bxf3'.
@@yzfool6639 Maybe it isn't. I don't know honestly. All I see is that I'm in a world of complications after that move if I don't retake and I usually just give up after that because I don't see a way to evaluate all the positions that Danya laid out in a reasonable amount of time. I usually give up because after a couple lines that you get a losing result there's no reason for me to believe there is a line where I can come out ahead so I just pick the simple move. I guess it helps knowing in advance that there is a way to come out ahead. Also if I'm in this kind of position where I'm seemingly (for me) forced to trade queens and ruin my pawn structure, when analyzing I'll look for a way where I could've avoided getting in that position in the first place, not salvaging the position after bxf3.
@@zokisvasta i'm the same rating and feel the same way, but I know i need to sometimes get into uncomfortable and super tactical positions, can't avoid them forever. A lot of times i analyze openings or games and see a tactic that just seemed so hard to calculate that i'm glad i didn't even bother trying, but like i said i gotta stop that ir improving will be hard
There are far far more tactics in the Open Sicilian than the Alapin or the Grand Prix. That's why weaker players tend to avoid the Open Sicilian and play the Alapin and Grand Prix instead. Why choose an opening that constantly tests your greatest chess flaw unless you are trying to improve and can devote the time necessary to do so?
@@yzfool6639 Could you tell me some tactics in the open Sicilian? I used to play the open Sicilian but switched to Grand Prix because of the sheer attackimg chances it gave me.
@@yzfool6639 i could have said that because it's quite possible but 2400 is somewhat technically sound,have knowledge about theories that's why I refrained, To be safe you can say 2200 easily!!!🙂
The one unrealistic thing about this series when he says "the game is over" after winning a pawn or a piece. In my experience the games are far from over at this level even down a fair bit of material. Sure if you can convert like a grand master it's a winning advantage, but that's not really the point.
That's exactly the point, the series is of a grandmaster playing through all rating ranges explaining moves and winning concepts, when he says a game is over up an exchange and opponent has no compensation, the game by all means is over provided either player doesnt blunder.
@@KnightToRemember He thinks you can know enough theory, to know not to run into theory, and that only GMs should use theory, so he offered free advice. I don't think he knows what 'theory' means. If he knew it meant the consensus best move in a position, he might realize how foolish he sounds.

Danya has me pretending like I’m him when I’m playing 700 games
"So this is a mistake already"

So helpful when I try to follow along with the thinking, and even better when GM Danya considers suggestions from the live chat and other options.

Black's king can simply move to d8 I think
Yeah but both moves are winning anyways. Especially with a ~1000 elo audience, playing the simpler move is more instructive. Very cool move tho

I’ve been waiting for this opening for a while
Such a deceptively complicated position to end in less than 20 moves. One of the channels I instantly click on whenever I see a post.

At 10:00 why did black move his queen to B7?
It’s undefended? What was the logic?
It's not undefended. Bishop from f3 controls b7
Hey Danya, i wondered what will happen if bxg2 at 6:38
Isn't white in trouble?
13:07 nevermind 😂
12:50 Does anyone know how he's looking up moves for theory? Does he just look at the top engine move in that position?

Can you play the Colle the King Gambit (white) and then the nimzovitch (not nimrod Indian) (black)
I was just rewatching Danya teach this line to Charlie
11:10 why not just take the queen with your own queen?
Because his queen is defended by the bishop and if you capture it, his bishop is out of danger and the material is equal.
Daniel. I'm a big fan 😁

16:03 why would you go rook b6 anyway?
To try to protect the knight

It's important to learn two-move tactical motifs. Then you can learn any opening you like and win.
Sooo many tactics, I love it! I had been playing the open sicilian but I think I'm switching to the alapin now.
Try Grand Prix attack it's IMO better than Alapin a especially if you like attacking and dislike IQP position
