    Really good to see Danya explain advanced concepts to a new audience in such a simple straight forward way. So many strong players would balk at a beginner asking why the horse is called a knight, but Danya is so straight forward, factual, and nonjudgmental and totally gets it

    • @sumnerhayes3411
      @sumnerhayes3411 Před 2 lety +14

      Definitely, he's great at that: he also pointed out patiently during the pawn fork why the rook can safely take the knight (because it's protected by the pawn) if the king steps forward (also, FYI, it's “balk”: bock is a type of beer, balk means to refuse to do something)

    i really like the way Daniel explains opening theory. he talks much more about the general IDEA of an opening, and what the first 5 or 6 moves are trying to accomplish, rather than going into specific lines and variations. I have a feeling that general ideas in the opening is all you need until you're like 2200 or something, so this type of instruction is very helpful

    • @josephascencio-parvy7805
      @josephascencio-parvy7805 Před 2 lety +2

      It really depends on the opening. Playing an open sicilian using just general ideas and principles will often leave you in a bad position.

    • @Jschlick100
      @Jschlick100 Před 2 lety +5

      For sure, because if you know what the point is, you can make educated moves around that, some are very specific and you need to know lines but most are usable as long as you know the first 5-6 and then make moves that fit the structure of what you’re trying to accomplish because most of the time you’ll make a top 3 move and you’ll be fine

    • @strangevegetable2651
      @strangevegetable2651 Před 2 lety +5

      As soon as you’re 1600, people generally know the main lines. Going down a specific variation can grant you an advantage very early in the game. 2200 is way too far ahead to be learning theory

    • @kendreamer6376
      @kendreamer6376 Před 2 lety

      I'm trying to remember; when I was 400 elo, I tried to memorize opening lines and I would get some good opening, but by the time I was in the middle game, I didn't know what was going on. I like Danya style. I think it helps beginners to see the ideas in the position.

    • @mauer1
      @mauer1 Před rokem

      this is really not an opening you can play on generell ideas.
      there is opening theory
      and opening systems.
      with opening systems it is good enough to have the generell idea.
      but for theoretical positions you cant really figure out with just principles you have to know the perfect answer to keep even.

  • @DMSBrian24
    @DMSBrian24 Před 2 lety +7

    Thanks so much for all the speedrun series! I was stuck between 1000 and 1200 for so long but thanks to your great teaching I managed to skyrocket my play, I learned to apply all the principles, memorized multiple lines in my openings and trained my tactical vision by playing regularly, also switched to 10 min instead of 3, when i finally hit the breakthrough a couple weeks back I started winning almost every single game I play, often getting +90% accuracy in the openings I'm familiar with, crossed 1500 and still climbing with almost no losses, even at this level most games are lost due to opponent's tactical blunders and as long as you apply principles and know your openings your oponent will make them way more often than you will so if you guys think like you hit a wall, don't worry, you'll hit the breakthrough at some point as long as you follow Danya's teaching, definitely look up some openings too, especially how to play against the ones you often find yourself losing to.

Most opening videos just show you the line and that's it. They don't explain WHY you play these concrete moves, Danya does.

    It would be awesome if you did some kind of white/black repertoire series at some point, I tried preparing my own repertoire with the computer and the database but it's really hard to see some ideas behind computer best moves when preparing an opening, also while playing accelerated dragon and the vienna there's a lot of people playing the rossolimo or playing 2. Bb4 in the vienna or even just playing 1. e4 g6 and playing it like a modern/KID and really getting me out of the comfort zone despite me already having analyzed and memorized so many lines, would be nice to have some sort of repertoire series where all responses or at least basic ideas are covered, especially against some rare and dubious but very dangerous moves

  • @bigbrainedhuman3922
    @bigbrainedhuman3922 Před 2 lety +2

    At 21:05, Knight D5 does lead to mate in 4 if the king goes to a6, and mate in 3 if the king goes to a5 or b5, since the queen will get to b4 and the knight will get to c7 afterwards. I found this mate before finding the mate in two, since putting a knight in front of a pawn is more fashionable.

Looks nicer when more white pieces are hanging and mating sequence can be done longer when the opportunity arises. Thanks for the match play and recap btw, appreciate what you do for the game danya!

      Charlie (or penguinz0) is a twitch streamer who was Daniel's student at pogchamps tournament (basically a chess tournament for gamer streamers). He raided Danya which means he asked his viewers to go and watch Danya's stream.
