    I’m glad the speed run has finally reached serious GM-level openings.

    finally a deep throretical opening played by danya.....so tired of unfounded antipositional chess like the "Sicilian" or "Italian Game"

      I mean at the lower ratings people don't follow theory, so only when you get to 1500 can you start playing theory like the bongcloud

  • @ethan3038
    @ethan3038 Před 2 lety +118

    Hey Danya, I've always liked the speedrun and thought it has tremendous value. There is far too little slow chess being played by strong titled players explaining their thought process. This series is my favorite chess series on youtube and one of the only places I feel like I'm still learning something nearly every video (I'm getting close to my National Master title). I honestly wouldn't mind if you continued indefinitely. It's a really great resource for both beginning players and more experienced ones and will always be one of the first resources I recommend to my students.

  • @leerobbo92
    @leerobbo92 Před 2 lety +14

    Valuable as ever: that concept of not grabbing the d4 pawn when you've got less space to work with is a real eye-opener, and it felt like a few things clicked into place for me there and then! I always struggle with knight outposts, I feel like I over-value them a lot of the time and trade for a worse structure too quickly.

  • @johnnybouts
    @johnnybouts Před 2 lety

    I am a new viewer and I think these videos are amazing.
    I have been watching this speed run for the last few weeks and I often hear you speak about the fabled previous two speed runs. I have not watched those yet, but I absolutely think there is great value in this speed run.
    I came upon this series after I started reading a book that covers the four knights scotch opening. I was looking for some practical examples of that and I found the speed run videos where you played it, and I was completely blown away by how instructional these videos are. Now I have just been watching the rest of them.
    Thank you!

  • @andrewstrohman2122
    @andrewstrohman2122 Před 2 lety

    The speedrun series is what drew me to your channel and I continue to enjoy it immensely. It has helped me improve my chess more than almost any other chess content on YT save actual deep dive analysis vids of specific openings.
    I would love having 2-3 games per video but I understand that it can be quite difficult to fully analyze each one. So I hope you keep going with this series and we can look forward to many more speed runs in the future, maybe from the next one you can start it at a mid level rating like 1500 so we skip to players who at least slightly understand opening and middlegame theory.
    Thanks for everything Danya!

  • @ZmajevKralj
    @ZmajevKralj Před 2 lety

    Thanks for the video, I really enjoy these speedruns. Even when the openings are repeated multiple times there's so much to say that it can't be done in a few videos. I was really happy to see you didn't retire the series but restarted it. I also look forward to when you get to around my rating (1800-1900) and do these "recover from bad position" games.
    On another note, you probably won't see this comment, but I was curious why you weren't worried about damaging your pawn structure by playing Nc6? Was the value of removing the knight from that square truly worth it? It'd never occur to me to do that I'll be honest because I hate damaging my pawn structure.
