I can't believe this series is already past 2000 elo... I don't want it to end! This has been the best speedrun so far in terms of teaching methodology and themes
There have been like 3 editions prior to this, you can just watch them now! Chess hasn't been updated in hundreds of years, the old episodes are still just as good.
I don’t want it to end either, I hope he finally reaches a rating where people stop blundering pieces in one move and start playing real openings, be it 2000 or 2800. I feel like this particular game has very little value for OTB players like me
@@triflomastera4882 Thank you but I have already seen them; I have been watching Danyas videos a long time now. I just really like the unique aspects of this series even if they may seem subtle. Maybe it's also in large part the vastly increased production value too, so I'm glad that will not be changing
Love how no-nonsense Danya is with the higher-rated opponents in his commentary, in comparison to the lower ratings. As he should be! Did not expect to see a 2000 blunder like that so early in a Sicilian.
It's not even a blunder, Bc4 is just not a move. The dude is at 2000 and still doesn't play a reputable line against the Sicilian. Danya was obviously baffled by that more than the blunder itself.
What rating are you? Sometimes I struggle to keep up the pressure in my morra games, you pretty much have to play in a perfect aggressive manner to keep your advantage
I saw the notification for this and I've been having a rough time but I felt my heart lift seeing this video. Keep up the great work for I've watched nearly all of your speedrun content.
Danya, these speedruns are the go-to for beginners, intermediate players and even some more advanced players who want to absorb instructive chess. Maybe if you could do whole speedruns with certain openings (against subscribers perhaps), this could give players so much insight about the concepts and different variation of a certain opening.
Every episode of the speedrun is so instructive. Danya helps us to improve and to understand better chess. I haven't found more helpful videos in the internet. Thank you! We all appreciate it!
If you want to show recovery from piece blunder, maybe you could fall into a common trap that opponent sets. Like here this queen b3 move when developing a bishop. I feel that would be more natural blunder than those fake mouseslips. I love the content!
I don't think falling into a "common trap" is such a good idea at the 2000 level. At that level, these opponents have used that trap a lot and have become experts at converting the advantage from the specific position. I think dropping a piece from an apparent "trade miscalculation" would make more sense.
@Blitnock I agree with Marek Defecinski. For example, allowing Qb3 here wouldn't have been catastrophic, though it would have been a serious setback. White would have had to work hard to convert.
@@Blitnock I love how you're actually suggesting blundering the N/B instead of dropping the B pawn in this game because the opponent is going to be more prepared. Seriously, what's your elo?
It just seems so unreal getting this quality chess training for free. I love your videos, maybe your not funniest but most instructive for me. Thank you
This is a good lesson. Thank you, sensei Danya. I often get a winning position/advantage only to either end up blundering so hard or making mistakes which makes the position back to equal. This video is a great help.
I really enjoy watching top players go through their process I just got to 1600 like last month and this kind of content has really helped me get better.
It’s 5am here. I often sleep to danya’s advice but this type of Vid is what I NEED to take notes on. Maybe I’ll listen now ti sleep then again when I wake lol
Nice conversion. You defended carefully against white’s initiative and played patiently while improving your pieces. The winning of the d3 pawn activated your rooks and led to your decisive counterattack.
I'm watching these with a jar of jalepeno peppers. Eating one every time the opponent blunders and Danya jumps on it. Come on, you 2000+ rated opponents. This is brutal, get it together!
Hey Naroditsky, just had a quick gut response idea at 8:40 to sack the bishop on e4, with quick play on the queen and bishop and an open file is that too hasty?
Hyped for a piece-down series, like Aman does now. Daniel now is pretty much winning start from finish, but most other players at those elo-ranges obviously aren't so learning how to create counterplay can be so useful.
Another great video, like others have said my favorite speedrun so far. I agree with the idea that you should do the piece blunder at this level.. against a 600 its basically guaranteed you’ll make the position won, but much more uncertain at this level
You are just the best teacher and great person. I would love to see a continuation of the end game serie couse I have big problems with not loosing rook end games.
Great video! Suggestion for a future one though, could you make a video on how to win with a pawn majority? I’ve noticed most people around my rating 1300-1400 lose when they have 3 or even 4 pawns for a piece even though they should be equal or even up material
Daniel I completely disagree with what you said about magnus's decision. He definately has something to prove as Nepo has matured since that encounter. And if he really has nothing to prove, why would he play with ferusia. ferusia wasn't even close in the candidates. magus must have a love crush on ferusia or something.
Maybe Hikaru is split between being a "careless" streamer & taking the job to become world champ. I wonder if it means anything to him if he doesn't beat Magnus in the way also.
If you want to play without a piece next game you might as well hide the opening from the title, play a chess960 game, doesn't really matter. Of course I'm against it because I want to see how people at that rating behave against you in a normal setup. Purposefully blundering a piece early in the game removes the part where we immedesimize in your opponent.
2:50 Well damn, I didn't expect him to literally think about it for 1 second.

I was thinking the same thing. "My opponent played so badly here that I need to apologize for letting you see that" haha
@@SoundAndFuryy he's referring to Nfg5 that just blunders a piece
@@SoundAndFuryy Bc4 is totally a move when black plays d6. It’s been played by Magnus, fabi, Levon, many others
@@Omsamara6 it's not something that should be a 2000s repertoire though
Converting winning positions is never boring. There's something very satisfying about not blundering and preventing any counterplay from the opponent.
I like how he apologises for the opponent playing badly
Lmao imagine the opponent watching this video and getting all embarrassed
Daniel, been crushing with the Morra as a result of following your speedrun. Love what you do bud
Same Here
What rating are you? Sometimes I struggle to keep up the pressure in my morra games, you pretty much have to play in a perfect aggressive manner to keep your advantage
Rd7 was mind blowing when you explained how it can help later in the game and then it did exactly as predicted
Mind blowing doubling rooks in the open file 😧🤯
@@tengu8560 I mean Rd7 instead of Rd6
That was excellent foresight

Even after the opponent blundered, GM Danya still made it very instructive by talking out his reasoning - nice!
Thank you Sensei Danya 🤍

Thats a great thumbnail. It looks really cool
I learnt how to checkmate with Knigjt and Bishop from your video on it .
Thank you for all your instructional content!
Your speedruns always so instructive... haven't watched them all, got to know you because of the endgame series. Very enlightening either way!

Hey Naroditsky, just had a quick gut response idea at 8:40 to sack the bishop on e4, with quick play on the queen and bishop and an open file is that too hasty?
Oh I didn’t even see his queen can just take the bishop…nvm lol
Im excited for the next game where he'll blunder a piece against a 2000. That'll be really fun to watch
Hey Danya what was the specific name of the book that explained taking notes of pawn structures to review? Sounds like a fantastic book by Dvoretsky!
10:27 "I don't know why our opponent didn't play like this before" probably he's also on a speedrun blundering a piece in the opening 😂
Excellent.

hoorayyyyy danya!
Opponent just played the italian opening like its nobody business.
Danya what should people in this rating range do to improve?
i do hope to see a piece blunder game at the 2000 level. Would be fascinating seeing how you try to recover.
How do we get to play Danya? I’m near this rating range
how does danya find games in chessbase with similar pawn structures so quick? is there a feature for that?
its called his memory
Yes there are features for searching games by moves or pawn structure in chessbase 16

I was expecting a nice game to learn and guy blunders in the opening in the most 600 elo possible way 🗿
It was still very instructive. Literally a textbook example how to convert advantage.
Gg Danya
Easily covert winning position to losing position anytime.
A 2000-rated player who blunders a peice like that? What? There were so many moves that didn't blunder anything!
Blundering a piece yeah we want that!

4:00 *opponent makes seemingly innocuous move* OK and that loses the game on the spot
No need to print and cut diagrams anymore; I provide my chess students with screenshots so they can save them in organized Folders.
Maybe Hikaru is split between being a "careless" streamer & taking the job to become world champ. I wonder if it means anything to him if he doesn't beat Magnus in the way also.
