    Reactions to bg5 by elo:
    600: Oh no, I need to defend my queen
    1000: Look, a free piece!
    1400: I am unfamiliar with this gambit. I better decline it.

      As a 1600 I’m of the mind… “That’s a strange move, do they see something I don’t? Let me look around and calculate a few moves… still don’t see it. Ok I have to take it, if I’m wrong, I learn a new tactic.”
      When training, if you can’t calculate the threat of a strange move do NOT defend it. If you can’t calculate the poisoned-piece/gambit/trap DO play into it. Getting punished and reviewing the line is the best way to learn new tactics :)

      @GEM4sta Před 2 lety +3

      I'm around 2100 and most games I blitz out the knight block and then instantly realize it was hanging. I don't think any 1400 is consciously declining a piece gambit and there are almost no piece gambits that are sound

    • @Matt-sl1wg
      @Matt-sl1wg Před 2 lety +13

      The engine response to f4 for black '...Rc4' leads to a pretty easy cleanup of the pawns, but it's incredibly hard for people at 1350-1400 level to find. A stronger player probably finds it, but then Danya probably wouldn't have sacrificed a bishop against a player who was strong enough to find that move so your point is still valid.

    • @piflah
      @piflah Před 2 lety +1

      @@Matt-sl1wg One response is simply to take the free pawn and go Nf7 next... if the pawn is pushed you fork it. It's not even a "engine line" and not a very hard move to find, something he could have "lucked into" easily as he moved the knight anyway. It's definitely not a "game winning move". He (opponent) was really close to winning after that move. Even GMs can blunder.... a few moves later evaluation is -6, in game.

      probably 1300-1800 if an IM dominates him but he can keep a winning position against an NM following a blunder, any lower and the NM probably could've clawed his way back. I only say this because I beat a CM after he made fluke blunder against me and I surprisingly was actually able to win and i was 1350 at the time.

    As someone around this level, the moves hardest to find for me are near the late/middle - early endgame, because its usually a pawn or king push, which then leads into an attack/past pawn advancement. When doing more puzzles, tactics like relative skewer from the bishop are seen more easily, but sometimes those don't relate in game, as there is no alarm bells for "tactics" The way you used your king in the endgame mate was insightful as well. Thanks for the content btw.

    The amount of accuracy needed to recover is crazy.

    • @therandomrat5238
      @therandomrat5238 Před 2 lety

      Not at all. Hell, even titled players mess up (women's world champion failing to convert a knight+ bishop win and aronian hanging mate in 1), but it also depends a whole lot on the type of opening/position. Down a piece in a symmetrical petroff? Sure. Down a piece in the king's gambit/ vienna? You still have a lot of chances. I've noticed that when you lose a piece the most important thing to do is to change your mindset- you're going to lose anyway so any result other than that is a plus. Danya did not play the most _accurate_ moves, what he did do was play the moves that may be a bit suboptimal in the eyes of a GM/stockfish, but would require precision to dismantle.

    Videos like this where you put yourself at a disadvantage are some of the most instructive and engaging. They are instructive because it is very often the case that I blunder a piece early in the game and could do to know how my approach should change as a consequence, and they are engaging because there is genuine uncertainty over whether or not you will achieve the win.

    • @TRXSTA38
      @TRXSTA38 Před 2 lety

    This was very instructive, props to the guy who defended so well in the endgame. Also it would be great if they make a post on the channel whenever Danya goes live, I would like to watch his streams.

    This is an absolute master class in resiliency and tactical recovery. This game was well fought by both sides and an absolute privilege for me to watch.
