This is actually one of his least impressive games, it's feasible that an intermediate player could do the same just by studying. I've beaten players more than 1000 points higher than me with opening traps. What I love about this series is seeing him slowly squeeze an advantage out of nowhere against extremely good players. It's something I'll never be able to do but having him talk through each thought is really inspiring
This might be the most decisive and exciting win against a high level opponent we've seen in the speedrun. Really cool line and excellent commentary from Danya as usual.
Danya: I wanna play solid chess, fundamentals are important Also Danya: sacks a piece 10 seconds into the game (yeah I know it's not really a sacrifice) Never change teacher, never change
I'm adding this to my bag. I play the Alapin often but never thought to throw the check in . But know I see how much potential poison there is in the position
Great content. I improved from 1000 to 1450 in a couple of months just by watching Danya and implementing his concepts and thought flow into my games. It now seems that I hit a plateu and I am now learning some concrete opening theory to improve my repertoire. Keep up the good work!
bro ive just go to say that these videos have the highest quality of chess education. ive improved from 500 to 800 with very little resistence in a week! I love your calm and clear demeaner and ive incorperated a similar style thought process when playing even if im terrible at memorising lines and opening plans. Thank you for the great content!
Hlo naroditsky i am here just to thank you for the repiortire i played in c category chess tournament in banglore india where i score 6.5/10 playing your repiortire i played alapin Belgrade and most importantly the cloe system(my favourite attack)
Is Belgrade really that good? To me it always seemed like you just make the game harder on yourself and I've analysed it pretty deeply, seems impractical
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400 personally I played the Belgrade just because I didn't have any other repiortire against bishop b4 in heat of the moment I decided to believe whatever I learnt
when danya talked about the alapin being misrepresented the caro kann also comes to mind (both c6/c3 d5/d4), it's thought of as a very sturdy, positional defense, and it can be, but with modern lines the opening becomes very exciting with variations e.g. in the mainline where the play becomes incredibly imbalanced
Oh my God… I am so grateful you drew my attention to this line! Thanx Danya. I also use the same reference book for the Alapin. So much fun and satisfying :)
Yeah. One thing is that you loose easily just because you didn't think about consequnces. And it's very different when you thought about it, but other continuations did not look pretty too. I guess that's what is happening when strong players loose, and it must be a different feeling.
Hi Danya, I’ve been absolutely loving the speedrun videos! The post-game analysis of the games are extremely helpful. I was wondering if you could do a full opening video of each of your opening recommendations (of the ones you played at the start of the speedrun and the ones you play now)? I know you go over some of the theory during the analysis but I think an in-depth video of each of the openings could be very useful. A bit similar to you “GM Naroditsky’s opening lab” videos you did on the Danish gambit and the King’s gambit. Greetings from Belgium!
this reminds me of this line e4 e5 kf3 F6 when you can sac the knight on the pawn and if black isn't careful enough he ends up being checkmated on the side of the board
I don't think at low elo I ever lost to the alapin cuz I just push d5 and get my queen active if white takes. The white blocks his Knight with the pawn so the queen is big chillin
reminds me a little bit of the way WC Kasparov lost with the CK def vs Big Blue (in '01?) - he was angry possibly bc he lost a match and possibly bc he thought the programmers cheated giving the machine a book variation. A lot of us didn't understand that logic - why shouldn't a machine have a book line?
Am I right in thinking the difference between the Alapin and the Delayed Alapin (with Nf3 first) is that the Nf3 line is even slower and more positional than the original (with the exception of some Schranz traps)?
The "trick" where 5.Bb5+ provokes 5...Bd7 leading to the possible line that you prooose: 6.Bc4 Nb6, 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7, 8.e6+ Bxe6, 9.Ng5+ Kf6 (best), 10.Qf3+ is perfectly defensible for black. As you said, white does not get a winning position from this line. In fact, Stockfish gives black a very, very slight advantage. White gets no big advantage other than getting a position that seems easier to play. However, I think this line could have a big psychological impact on the black player if he's unfamiliar with this line. Any time the bishop comes crashing into f7 with check, sacrificing itself, it is unnerving - especially if black has to play 9...Kf6. Black has to be thinking that this is bad for him - although, it's really not.
How long would it take to learn the alapin deeply, and how long would it take to learn an opening in general? I would also like to know what gms give priority to when studying openings.
He could have said one of these funny movie line when 2 characters pretend to play chess with each other: Slowly level eyes with the other guy and say: mate in 4
Guys im rated 1300, I only play chess for fun and I want to improve my rating to 1800-1900 this year (to enjoy the game more & beat my friend because he keeps kicking my ass) what do you guys suggest I do to improve at the game?
I say it all the time: USE YOUR CLOCK. This guy is 2300, easily twice my ELO, he's obviously a very good player as Danya says at the beginning. But he finishes the game with more time than he started with cause he was just blitzing out moves in what is very obviously some dubious opening shenanigans. It's not even like Daniel used an insane amount of time himself, just take more than like, 5 seconds to blitz out moves in a rapid game xD

hi danya, in the next vs sicilian video can we get a Bb5 sicilian? (moscow, rossolimo) when i see you playing blitz you like to play this variations sometimes and i think they are very interesting
Hey Daniel, question, at 18:06 why can’t black simply do Nxe5? Also with Alapin do you ever do the e4, c5, c3, d5, exd5, Qxd5, Na3 line? Thanks for your input. Edit: other people in comment section explained the obvious to me (that I missed).
@@user-pu8ne4lq9gblack doesn’t lose material, in fact gains a pawn (at least it seems that way)Nxe5, dxe5, Bxe5, or Nxe5, Bxd7, Nxd7, or Nxe5, Nxe5, Bxb5. This is a common tactic.
Morra is good if you are aggresive, willing to sac more than a pawn and know how to keep initiative - if not, you are just down a pawn for little comp. Wing gambit can be ok but you need to know a lot. Alapin is very good but can lead to a bit boring positions at times. GPA is great if you don't want open Sicilian and it's easy to learn.
King's Indian Defense of course he made a ton of videos about it facing different variations from white. He also recommended Grunfeld at some point and it's really not THAT hard to play and leads to dynamic positions. If you are a tactical player play those two, if you are more positional stick to QGD.
The levels of joy I feel when Danya uploads a speedrun video featuring an opening I play is immeasurable

13 moves. And not in a standard way but in a drag-the-king-out-and-mate-with-a-pawn way
No better way to start off a weekend than with a new Danya video!

Danya gives us so much knowledge from 13 move game

I have a lot of frustration after loosing “easily”. It feels comforting to see such an advanced player lose a short game.

that guy was too greedy. overexposed his king taking that knight and trying not to lose his bishop
It's a lot of fun seeing the 2...Nf6 lines in the Alapin. At my level (1200ish), almost no one plays that against me so I stopped studying it.
