In order to transpose into the Stafford, you have to follow up bishop C5 with saying "I insist" or the opponent won't play it. Works for Rosen every time
This is such a great comment
"He insists upon it.. insists"
czcams.com/video/br_yTDxMJuc/video.html
Even if white takes on e5 he can just go right back to f3 and you're down a pawn with no Stafford
@@deadvirgin428 yeah if opponent moves the knight back, then it's not a Stafford. If it's not a Stafford it's not a Stafford 👍
Ah yes, the Insist variation
Danya: blunders and is still winning
Me: blunders and loses my queen, job, and all my possessions
"Let me calculate"
Proceed to cover his eyes... GM fascinates me
The stronger you become the more sometimes u look away from the board to calculate for some reason. Its just how it is
I sometimes look away while playing and pretend that im actually strong enough to calculate all the variations in my head lol
@@Narrowcrosbecause you are visualizing a new position on your head, not the one on the board.
@@dudemcgyverson True, I have done it before just not as often as some GMs or IMs
yea I thought that many times I saw him do that
great comment
That 1800 was great. Once the level is over 90% of the chat's level, they get accused. However, he clearly just has great intuition for the positions
Seems like every single video someone in his chat cries "cheater", but if the opponent plays below their rating, they cry "noob". Like you only have a very narrow window of skill otherwise the chat goes retarded.
The way chat screams "cheater, cheater!" So obnoxious. Computer cheaters play moves that have a "smell." There's just something about a cheater that is really clear to someone who has played for a while. If Danya says the dude wasn't cheating, I 100% believe him.
As he said, most people were actually not making cheating accusations.
Also, with skilled players using an engine, it can often be very hard to detect. They have a good intuition for moves that look human or natural and won't just mindlessly play the top engine move every turn. Mostly, they use the engine to look for tactics and give them a general idea about the best approach (i.e. when/where to attack).
If Danya says he won’t accuse someone if cheating until he checks the engine. I don’t think anyone should accuse someone of cheating based on “smell”
@@sparkygtynes He also admitted immediately after that that he does sometimes make insinuations before checking with an engine. The important thing though is that he doesn't make accusations PUBLICLY before checking. However, the reason he checks at all is that concept that certain moves and lines 'smell' wrong. If he didn't have that sense, he wouldn't check for cheaters at all (or he might be so paranoid that he checked every time an opponent made a good move).
chat is stupid lol
@John Napier you'd think this but it doesn't hold water. People hack at video games all the time.
I love it when Danya gets in trouble with only seconds left on the clock and he goes into "beast mode". That is when the GM comes out, and we get to see how a GM manages unclear positions under time pressure. Very instructive.
My heart rejoices at 27:08 when Danya says "from a distance," reminding us of all he has taught in the hyper modern openings
Before I make a chess move, I ask myself: "Would Danya make that move?" And, if the answer is no, I do not make that move.
Kind of a reverse Dwight Schrute. Well played.
Instructions unclear; I spent 6 minutes in the first 3 moves
Yeah same with me, it makes me burn much time until mid game 🤣
What if your brain answers yes but Danya would still refute that move xD
Interesting as always Danya, I don't remember seeing a pawn endgame in a long time in this series, but they're always so tricky and sometimes counter intuitive
Agreed. The three knights aspect of this game is oversold by the title. It's really about the clever kingside attack played by his opponent and the really rigorous pawn endgame lesson Danya gives.
Everytime Danya says "hold on i have to calculate" and goes silent I'm just imagining him powering up like in dragonball.
24:00 WOW!! The foresight by Danya's opponent! R4g2 looked weird at the time, but it was critical in vacating the square for the bishop in that tactical sequence. This 1300 is impressed by the 1800 Danya played!
Hate to be that guy but this isn't foresight, all he had to do was see Nb6 followed by Be6 Bg4 doesn't work because there is a rook there. Not very impressive but seeing that as Black is much harder.
@@drekart4244 I suppose you’re right. Still a cool tactic/idea w.e
as an 1800 myself,im impressed by the 1800 danya played
@@drekart4244 but all of that isn't necessarily obvious. It's obvious looking when you write it out as a series of moves.
he likely played it to defend f2 honestly
It's just amazing how easy to do certain plays.. with 40 sec on the clock and a seemingly complex rook and pawns ending position, you just close your eyes and think for a couple of seconds.
Just impressive. I wish you all the best. And REALLY THANKS for sharing this with us humans. Cheers
Remember: when Danya says "let's calculate" the correct response is to look away from the board. You can check out the inside of your shirt, or the ceiling, or your hands, but never the board itself!
That pawn endgame was highly instructive.
I like this one. I remember watching this one live. Watching it again, doesn’t seem nearly as suspenseful as I remembered it live 😂😅, or maybe I’ve just gotten accustomed to being much more confident in Daniel’s ability to just rout ppl at will
For sure some very cool ideas by that 1800 and strong chess. This game really helped me kinda pick up that idea of not worrying as much about ruined pawn structure in front of my king and how to use it to my advantage by sidestepping the king and planting rooks on the open file. Really cemented the idea in my head a lot more, I remember using this idea to win as black in a King’s Indian shortly after watching this live.
My goal is to get good enough to be called a cheater.
lol
Once I won when my opponent hanged mate in 1 and then he accused me of cheating..
@@ahmedsayeed1330 😂
10:31 you know when Danya archives the game it’s serious lol
isn't that just looking at the archive of the player's games?
@@RG001100 yeah, he does that every time that a player plays very well just to make sure.
@@Eorzat or he might analyse it later
No, it adds the game into _his own_ archive so he can easily find it again later. When that happens (and it's happened many times during the speedruns) it's basically Daniel's tell - it means that he's suspicious of his opponent. Tbh him doing it so often on stream really takes the wind out of the "thou shalt not accuse" moralising.
(to clarify - I agree with his advice to not accuse other players willy nilly. It's just a shame he doesn't completely hold to it himself)
@@cpf2566 Being suspicious of someone is not the same as accusing someone. He wants to get his facts straight before making any accusation and he’s being responsible with chat by telling them to stop accusing without being 100% sure
Thanks for the amazing content! Watching the speedrun really helps me improve at chess. Yesterday I started at a chess club and made a draw against a dutch GM at an simultaneous game.
Jeez that was intense for once 😂
These games are much more fun to watch than the ones that are already losing by move 12.
@fujiapple96 while these are fun i fell the ones he wins in the opening are far more instructive as they teach us how to punish bad opening play by our opponents
@@BlastS01 I like these better, you can learn how to punish opening blunders by just doing free puzzles but middlegame defense while attacking with instructive commentary is very rare
@@BlastS01 it all depends on your rating. i’m 1400 so 1300-1700 are most helpful to me
Lol
Ya I really think this guy wasn't cheating. Their moves were logical and understandable from a human point of view. 1800's are good chess players.
Yeah and the be6 move is hard to spot because the idea is uncommon but not complex at all calculations wise.
He's still playing and still active. I don't believe he was cheating.
Once again, thank you for this public service!
Danya's opinion on an oponent playing NC3: this should be criminalized.
Danya's recommendation on openings for white: four knights.
Watching these commentaries inspire me to go play, then when I play it inspires me to come back and learn more lol
Very nice pawn endgame explanation! Thank you
Terrific content, as always. Thank you!
You seem like a solid guy, Daniel. I really enjoy your content!
Incredible stuff!!
Thank you!!
When I drew against gothamchess most of the chat were accusing me of cheating, it wasn't a great feeling, especially since I was so proud of the accomplishment at the time. So I appreciate the mentality of not accusing people of cheating when not warranted. :)
Congrats on that draw!
Great explanation particularly the endgame. Well done!
Watching the opponent play the opening exactly how I would and hearing Daniel refer to him as "boring," makes me want to learn a new opening.
Guy had a good game.
90% of my games start like this, lol
I just spam the queens gambit as white.
Learn the bongcloud
@@gtatielmehdi369 watched danya playing it. Looked really bad.
@@shhiknopfler3912 I was joking
I have a friend who got banned for cheating and it's kinda a bummer because she was HORRIBLE at chess (like literally raw beginner), but she's also one of the craziest smartest most neurotic people i know, so she bought a book on the sicillian, studied for a weekend, and started DEMOLISHING her 400 level peers with 98% accuracy (hard not to when it's just a blunderfest) but her account got closed because obviously she went from averaging 20-30% accuracy to 8 straight wins with 90% accuracy
Hey Daniel, thank you so much for providing us with this high level gameplay. It is really instructive to see how you analyze each move!
Really enjoy your vlogs. & the information that you share. You explain things quite well
Refreshing to see Daniel to be in a bit of a pickle
I'm glad you didn't see Be6 , and I'm glad it turned on to pawn endgame !! Very informative .
Thanks as always!
fantastic game from the opponent, kudos
damn I love these kind of aggressiv games with unusual positions
1. Material.
2. More pass pawns, which side has OUTSUDE pass pawns
3. Active king
4. Extra pawn moves in reserve to create zugzwang
5. Pawn breakthroughs., allowing king to make inroads
Vaccum up all the pawns after creating inroads by pawnbreaks
0:38 every stafford player can relate to this
great timing
Amazing Pogchamps commentary today Danya
zero dislikes so far, this does put a smile on my face
Congrats to your opponent for a good game
I hope you could analyze your recent games from the US Aimchess and do some behind the story on why you chose those lines if there is any.. Thanksss
Oh my Rosen!
Sensai, you made me check my phone dozen times throughout ur videos.
7:11 In German there is a similar saying: "Wer A sagt, muss auch B sagen" :)
Thank you GM Danya
6:37 one of the good reasons not to place Q to h4 would be Bg5 next move, I guess
17:28 he predicted Magnus Carlsen!
The last time I was this early, I was f6
lol I was having a bad day and this made me laugh thanks
I dont get it.
Overused and unoriginal. Please do everyone in the comment section a favour and stfu.
@@turtle_fps im sorry us peasants dont have the same godly sense of humor that someone such as yourself has,why even bother talking to us mortals? im sorry you felt so offended by the lack of humor that you needed to take time out of your day to write something unnecesary,offensive and just straight up rude,must've been hard,how about instead of telling people to shut up,you just follow your own advice? if you dont like a comment,just move on with your life unless you feel like you have something to say
As a 1700 elo player my opponent plays well but not that good like 1800s maybe improvement is hard in that 1800 - 2000 range
At 17:10 "It is scary when a top player accuses you of cheating and you know that you didnt cheat, because you know thay they have authority and weight"
And that, my friends, is called foreshadowing.
0:39 I've caused more than a few of these moments with this move lol
I know it's obvious, but you're SO good. Sac an exchange, start playing properly, one minute later & you're winning! 👏👏👏
just in timeeeee
great to see a detailed endgame
Lmao as soon as someone said thats what eric does he didn't think twice
Day 36 of saying you're seriously legendary Danya, love your content and your play. You're creative and principled at the same time. Easily the best chess channel on youtube.
Cbreezy is here, love your work Daniel
the prophet, the legend himself
we demand a speed run where you play like Tal or Morphy creating masterpieces.
6:37 "Where should we put the queen?" Lucky he didn't see Nd5 after!
nd5 blunders a pawn
@@willhblob1171 4 months since this comment, but I just checked with an engine and Stockfish 14 NNUE says Nd5 is +5.5 at depth 30, or "absolutely crushing" as Daniel would say. Pawn on f3 is poisoned. Check with stockfish :)
@@piflah -5.5 not +5.5 (black is completely winning), i think you should re-check your engine lol
25:10 God i love a chess player's memory. I'm the only person I know who can remember spoken words with this kind of precision.
Let’s go!!
how do you calculate with your hands over your eyes?
After you play for a while and build up your visualisation skill it becomes easier to calculate in your head any time you need to consider further than one or two moves. That's why top players so often look away from the board, or close their eyes, during OTB games.
The best analogy I heard was to imagine someone asking you to perform some mental arithmetic: "start with the number 16 then add 9, now divide the result by 5, now add 13, subtract 12" and so on. It would be a bit of a distraction if you had to stare at a huge number 16 while you were doing it, right? When we're told to calculate 16+9 I think most of us "forget" the number 16 and replace it in our head with a 25. That's basically what chess players are doing when they look away or close their eyes.
This is something you can train surprisingly quickly with deliberate practice just by forcing yourself to recreate positions in your head. At first you'll find it really hard and will be limited to the simplest sequences but it quickly gets easier.
@@cpf2566 that makes a lot of sense, thanks!
I actually stopped playing the Stafford because of Nc3(
Came here after seeing Levon spend five minutes to miss mate in 1. Doesn’t matter chess level anyone can miss a move or potentially find an amazing move higher levels just are more consistent.
this happened against me I am 1800 rated player and was playing against 2600 rated on lichess titled player in simul I beat him as he went into my prep opening theory and lost 2 pawns in middlegame then chat started accusing me and that titled player even blocked me even though the moves were natural. But since I didn't get banned for it I am good
lol someone accusing you of cheating when you didn't is an awesome feeling
It's not when a titled player does it though
@@akshay4107 that's even better
I think it's only low rated players who accuse people of cheating like that. They can't comprehend someone making good moves who isn't a GM but the reality is that 1800s are pretty good chess players, if you're 1800 you're probably in the 80 or 85 percentile probably and once you get into the 2000s, we're talking about 90-95 which makes you pretty damn good. Usually a GM is going to see moves before you unless you yourself are a GM, but it's not impossible. If you're making move after move that a GM doesn't see THEN it becomes suspicious.
I just wanna know what to play in 3 knights for black. I dont think this is the right video for that because after black Bc5. White has the fork trick with knight takes e5. Of course white missed this obvvious tactic.
Meanwhile, I'm just BARELY beating Stockfish 3.
It claims to be a 1400... but I'm just not buying it. 😂
You hang your queen THAT many times, and you don't get to call yourself a 1400.
Still. The recent Caro Khan video has helped. I'm trying to get some basic openings memorized and ready for when I play real Peepo's. I'm getting my ass handed to me by 1250's 😥
did it get easier after the videos?
A friend's account got closed mistakenly, because he played a game while having his analysis board open on another tab and he played the opening he had on the analysis board.
Doesn't sound like a mistake at all. Whether he knew it was there or not, whether he checked it or not, if you play a game of chess with an opening written inside your forearm you'll be labelled a cheater
@@Tikorous I always play with my openings study so I stay in theory for the first few moves.
@@swift8821 that's definitely cheating
@@Tikorous only cheating if the engines on.
No - looking at an opening book is definitely cheating lol. A study is effectively a personalised opening book. It's cheating to look at any external documentation/receive any outside assistance whatsoever during a live game.
20:54 among us? MonkaLaugh
no neet to renvent the whel her
Lets punish him cause he didn't do what I wanted. haha.
I don't watch his streams but I'm assuming if everyone is accusing his opponent of cheating then his streamers are mostly below 1200
1800 did good.
Boring position but a typical e4 e5 position where it’s difficult to know exactly what todo. If you can’t traxler or Stafford.
I like bb4 instead of bc5
If I'm not cheating and everybody accuses me of cheating I would take this as a compliment
Illegally criminalized
The S word LMAOOO
Last game before bed, chat!
*Qf6 what a blunder* After Nd5 he is simply lost - I hope Danya would make a correction. To blunder is human.
How so? Qxf3, and then what?
Elephant
1 hour+ and 0 dislikes? Damn girl
Two hours now
Wow
13:28 why not grab opposition with kg5 any reason?
You saw the reason in the game, it wasn't necessary, king could only try to move forwards through the left side

How GM think in chess & become master in chess
I think the understandable part about the accusations was how blisteringly fast he was finding such great moves. Surely someone like that would be higher than 1800. Like he blasted out the rook trade and a GM had to sit there and try to figure out whether it would be good to do.
Eh 1800s are a lot better at chess than you seem to think that they are
He “blasted out the rook trade” because he was trying to simplify and clock out his opponent. It wasn’t a good move.
One of those games that starts out boring and symmetrical and gets interesting later.
;) I guess players like me who play these boring lines have everyone else to thank for making games interesting. (~1200 elo).
I don't think the guys who accused cheating were completely serious about it. They probably just wanted to shout out their first thought into the chat. It's fun to make silly accusations.
cheating accusations when a lot of people are watching aren't a silly joke. That's scary.
@@PTdoubleOT yeah you will be banned from chesscom...
@@finkyfreak8515 They check the games with an anticheat system, has nothing to do with the number of reports
@@joyrajghosh6322 you are indian
why does he 'archive' some of the players?
After 12... Qf6 there is 13. Nd5!
Qxf3,white for sure has compensation for the pawn but he probably wasnt worried about Nd5 even if it might be the best move(i havent checked with an engine if it is or not)
i just checked it with an engine,didnt realize the queen got trapped,thats a nice line
