Might be because for you (and most of us) its more easy to identify with them. And whenever a normal mortal dude has good opportunitys against masters, that gives hope that also you and me could have great opportunities on the board.
Because people online don't know theory or prefer offbeat lines for whatever reason. IRL tournaments most of the players even at 1400-1600 level know some amount of opening prep. It's crazy how different the two are, I highly recommend trying both, they're both really fun.
This series is honestly superb for a beginner-intermediate level player like me. Daniel has a gift for teaching and giving clear, valuable explanations. If I can offer one small piece of constructive feedback: The detours to other GM games as a way to illustrate key concepts are generally great. But when, halfway through the overall analysis, multiple of these other games are reviewed in a row-particularly when it’s to showcase a concept only present in, e.g., a sideline of the main game-this can make the overall lesson feel haphazard and slightly difficult to follow. My humble suggestion would be to finish analyzing the entirety of the main game first, and then only afterwards go back and explore concepts using references to other GM games. Thanks for everything Daniel-you rock.
Shows how good this opponent played when Danya had a turbowinning endgame and 1:20 on the clock and he wasn't explaining moves anymore. In previous games he has had 15 seconds on the clock with very complex positions and didn't care about the clock at all.

@@mouwersorhe makes well into 6 figures making YT videos of a topic about which he’s extremely passionate. He’s not doing charity work- no need to “thank” him.
He mentions his series on the art of flagging and pre-moving, so since he’s one of the best bullet players he should totally do a video on mouse skills, pre-moving and time scrabbles. Would love to see his thought process when playing low on time especially since it’s a pretty glaring hole in my game.
Danny and GM‘s in general have insane amounts of experience by simply playing the game so much and playing it for such a long time, so I guess it‘s a lot of pattern recognition. If you‘ve mated someone with a King and a Queen 50 000 times you just play accurately without thinking about it
Recently stumbled on to your YT and am learning so much. You are an incredible and articulate about your thinking and conceptual ideas. Hoping to cross 1100 and continue my learning with this series.
This was rly helpful The exchange caro was the major part of that defense that I felt unsure about. I would just develop pieces and after 5 moves have a balanced or slightly losing middle game. This video really helped me understand the tactics and themes that I should think about (esp the value of the dark bishop)
Would love to see you do a kind of deep dive series into openings covering the different approaches eg. caro-kann exchange, advance etc the way you talk through everything is very accessible and you give great pointers about the general game plan of openings and what to focus on/look for. Keep up the great content mah duude.
Danya, have you ever thought about doing some recaps or analysis videos on the world cup games? You have such a great talent in making this stuff easy to understand beginners and i think you’d do a great job. Just a thought.
Crazy ! At 10:10 you can almost trap the queen with a king move ! kg7 then rook f6 (engine told me, I have no credit). Really nice line, according to the computer its -4, probably because you have 2 passed pawn

@@nachtarios It's pretty subtle for most streamers that put it in their video, most of the time I forget it's there unless I'm trying to figure out what the streamer is referring to when answering a question.
Unless the chat is relatively civil and slow moving, I prefer no chat. I like Levy's videos, but I really don't like it when chat is there. It is just noise.

That Fischer game is really nice, but it's likely he too was inspired by a previous game: Lasker-Capablanca from the storied 1914 St Petersburg tournament, where, also in an exchange Ruy Lopez, Lasker played f5 and slowly suffocated Capablanca's pieces. In the Lasker game, the queens had been already traded, but the position was actually more convoluted than in the Fischer game, so the latter feels more instructive
Thank you daniel for teaching us all these valueable things..man you are simply awesome .. you are not like those greedy twitch streamer who claim to be the contractors of chess and always restrict their twitch broadcast to the subscribers ... Love you DN ❤️
Danya: this guy is very very good Stockfish: HAHAHAHA that was a total blunder it's encouraging how even danya is only human and can completely misevaluate a position, and still be so super strong
Nah the brainy bits scientifically usually seen as the source of smartness, in that specific case "power", is usually located within rather without the cranium...
Thank you Daniel..! I m trying to learn this amazing game at copeartively old age! I should acknowledge that you are helping me a lot… Hope one day I we meet and wanna thank you in person…
"he saw it" lol I saw it even earlier and I have never even reached the heights of 1600 rating on the same site:D still hundreds missing, even dropping on blitz
I'm always so weirdly proud of the opponents when Danya's complimenting their play

Weirdo.

Me too
at least a beer. He is truly good. Educative AND entertaining.
But does he drink tho?
@@firstname8078 he's part Russian. What do you think
@@vexnightmare6364 I know :) but if you paid attention he does look for his diet. Example: He doesn't drink soda.

Literally every single one

Don't apologize for the premoves, I thought it was really instructive
Gotta love it when the speedrun covers one of your openings
You know danya has respect when he says "I'm low on time" with 90 seconds left in a Winning endgame
Knowing he can win a 80 moves game with one third of this time
Shows how good this opponent played when Danya had a turbowinning endgame and 1:20 on the clock and he wasn't explaining moves anymore. In previous games he has had 15 seconds on the clock with very complex positions and didn't care about the clock at all.
My favourite creator, not just chess but as a whole. Thanks for what you do and being such a genuine person, it’s truly amazing.
Just started the caro kann, good tips sir danya!
idk but just found you .... and addicted ,thank you! Keep posting.
Thanks Daniel and editor for putting out this much awesome content. I am enjoying the speedrun a lot :)

The best chess teacher u could ask for and its free. Clear consise explanations with a good vocabulary and nice personality. Keep up the good work 👏
These videos are criminally underrated, Danya you are the man!
this channel is so underrated. You basically get a free chess lesson
Loved the exposition on weak squares. As always brilliant comprehensive explanation. Would love to take private lessons with Danya.
Thanks so much for these analysis Daniel.

Glad you posted another Caro-Kann video Danya, very instructive one!
The first game was also quite close. Only 4 seconds on the clock. Premoves to the rescue.
Ultimate proof. Matrix glitch at 44:35 !!! :o
That later combination from danya's enemy with the bishop and queen was insanely impressive!
you're the best streamer out there! thank you for such instructive chess :)
"Sorry for the pre-moves" WE LIVE FOR PREMOVE BULLET SAIYAN DANYA
Ohhhh my Lands!!!! I love the hunting theme of the thumbnail. Very Cabela-esque
These are the best analysis for improving players on YT
Thats the man that has no haters
As I was watching the game, I thought Danya's opponent was a 2000. I forgot we are still at 1600.
he did say the opponent was very underrated
That 1600 was damn near bulletproof. As a 1300 phew..

15:56 how to play as white exchange Caro
Question: at 7:38 danya plays pawn to f5, why isnt danya worried about creating a backwards pawn weakness on e6?
because white can't really attack that pawn
Takes me 5 minutes to mate from a king and pawn endgame, it took Danya like 4 seconds!
Why is this man apologizing for premoving when he has less than 6 seconds lol
Because he has enough time to do so
Bxh6 was pretty obvious after Qxc3 because there was no other good move possible. I would play it instantly even at 1500 level!
That Fischer game is really nice, but it's likely he too was inspired by a previous game: Lasker-Capablanca from the storied 1914 St Petersburg tournament, where, also in an exchange Ruy Lopez, Lasker played f5 and slowly suffocated Capablanca's pieces. In the Lasker game, the queens had been already traded, but the position was actually more convoluted than in the Fischer game, so the latter feels more instructive
casually talking under 1 minute and checkmate the poor guy lol
When I first started learning the caro I lost many times to that pile up of pieces from white.
Thank you daniel for teaching us all these valueable things..man you are simply awesome .. you are not like those greedy twitch streamer who claim to be the contractors of chess and always restrict their twitch broadcast to the subscribers ... Love you DN ❤️
Is there a video you did on Ruy Lopez in the speedrun? If not, I would like to see one 🙂
Why the change in time boss. Great video as usual. Keep up the good work from ur No 1 Supporter.

Great content Dayna. Thanks
14:50 where s the red carpet? i only see a green one
yey the speedrun that has been going on for months!
41:55 is it Ruy Lopez or *Ruy* Lopez?
Only OG's remember 28:45 and Min
Thanks Danya!
Nice shirt, daniel. Where's it from?
Thank you Daniel..! I m trying to learn this amazing game at copeartively old age! I should acknowledge that you are helping me a lot… Hope one day I we meet and wanna thank you in person…
he wasn't underrated, he's now 1500 after 600 games
37:28 why not Qe5 immediately? (instead of f5)
because white might sac the rook for the powerful knight
Danya do you really type that fast bcoz the keyboard buzzes a lot when you do type
PS: Big fan of your teaching style
Hmm, I almost never put my knight on f6 in caro. Generally try to get it to f5 and attack the centre, but definitely get in trouble with that at times
I prefer f5 in advance variant. Exchange is a different position which makes me prefer f6.
16:25 Exchange Caro for white
Nice bgm in intro
Will u play dutch defense danya? :)
Danya is the man.
*Manya*
14:24 Rc1 works aswell
Can you next cover the Nimzovitch defense with 1. e4 Nc6?
is knight f6 possible after white takes h6 ?
I've been playing the exchange caro without even knowing it for a while
Damn why was that first guy so good? Do people have smurf-accounts in chess?
sometimes you can tilt and lose a lot of points playing in a bad mood

You don't need your castle at the end. You can win 3 pawns and king vs enemy castle and king. Completely impossible for white to win.
