    When Danya plays these drawn out positional games it really highlights the deep understanding he has of chess as a GM. Fortunately he makes it clear enough that even a 1200 like me can follow along and appreciate the moves. Truly amazing.

    I think this is my favorite speedrun game. I think Danya's ability to explain closed positions is really good. I think, specifically, he is really good at explaining his plans for future moves, and how to adapt them based on your opponents moves without losing sight on a positional goal.

    Daniel is confident enough to show that the game can be simpler than it seems. Usually we see GMs that, though have reached the top tier for players, feel the need to present the game more complex than it is, as to say "i'm genius - don't try this at home - you will never be as smart as I am". Thank you, Professor!

    Danya realizes Bc4 is a blunder, like in less than two seconds, I can't even tell if he already knew that or he discovers it as it was played, my best guess is he knew his two rooks were deadly so any thing that disconnects any defence of the Rook on the D file is going to win him the game.
    I can follow and even apply a lot of tactics but these decisive positional ideas are what makes a GM a GM. This is not an easy game and he ended it masterfully.

    16:20 i Think the way to explain why central control and knights on then are good is because chess is a game where flexibility is very important, if you only make moves with one plan in mind, you’re opponent will stop it and you’re not winning, and a good control of the center reduces the opponent flexibility and increases yours, so even if you’re not winning material with a good knight in the center you’re just heavily diminishing your opponent options with a great piece

  • @DavidEmerling79
    @DavidEmerling79 Před rokem

    I really like how Daniel points out how a seemingly attractive move is not particularly good. Then, later in the game, he ends up making (or *thinking* about making) that very same move. He remembers that he had told us that it wasn't a very good move. Then he says, "But, things have changed!" I think that's a very important flexibility of thinking chess players must have - the ability to change your plans and consider moves that you had previously dismissed as result of your opponent's play.

    I've seen some interesting systems against the Sämisch where, after white has established his bishop on e3, black plays the moves ...Nfd7 ... e5 ... then Bh6. Black's bishop is seemingly hanging, but after white plays Bxh6, black wins it back with the double attack ...Qh4+. If nothing else, a novel approach. Black generally does not castle to the queenside (or at all!) with this system.

    It's when Daniel does positions I understand that I realize how good he is: I clicked on it because it was on the KID which I don't really get, but it turned into a positional game :(. Tal described the early d takes e as a psychological weapon against the combative King's Indian player: he said the removal of queens was like "cold water to the face." I don't think he was including himself, but he was giving the reason that White often plays that way at a level where it's not considered the objectively best line.
    Thanks for explaining the result of the exchange of the knight on d4 -- I didn't see how Black could keep their advantage if White just traded it off: I often miss pawn-recaptures when the resulting pawn is optically weak. The NID is filled with those "recapture with the knight, or accept an isolated d pawn?" positions where there's a definite better and worse choice and I can't figure out which is which -- if I did I'd be a totally different player and understand a ton of other things I don't, and possibly giving my own lessons.
