    The ability to watch a 2600 GM walk through a game of chess is something that can’t be taken for granted. This series is literally one of the most helpful chess tools ever created

      Becoming a Super GM is probably more difficult then becoming a very rich entrepreneur. Also, it is much more useful I think. Listening to rich people rarely makes people rich lol.

    I think this is my favorite elo to watch. No obvious blunders by the opponent (with the exception of a poor opening idea) and just good understandable, methodical, and instructive play, but not such a high level that the tactics are beyond a lower-level player's grasp. Great content as always!

    Watching him move the queen around for the very last move searching for checkmate and finding it so quickly blows my mind. I tried to slow it down to .25x and wipe my mind of the position and came back to see if I could keep up in calculating and I flat couldn't do that nearly as quick as him. Blows my mind

  • @wugsessed
    @wugsessed 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I usually pride myself on guessing moves/lines right as or before Danya plays them, but I don't think I'm alone in not even considering Kxd7 with the idea of Kc6 to follow. I probably would've taken with the rook, controlling the file and preparing to double rooks after I developed the dark square bishop. Weirdly enough, stockfish seems to prefer taking with the bishop (but it also doesn't like the Nd7 move offering the knight trade, preferring instead Nh5 to kick the knight away one move later with f6.)
    To me, it was abundantly clear how strong the king on c6 made the position for black, defending a well-placed pawn that limited white's counterplay, without ever being in danger of much more than an empty pawn check that was quickly captured back. Excellent and illustrative game!

    • @victorhaland5474
      @victorhaland5474 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yea kxd7 makes a lot of sense when you look at the board for some seconds, but obviously its the difference between him and us that he even considers it in rapid

      @@PROJECTJoza100 It depends on what time control you are talking about. He is a Super GM at really fast time controls. And in classical, he is a very strong GM: GM starts at 2500. His current rating (from Wikipedia) is 2623, with a peak at 2647. The boundary for Super GM is today taken to be 2700, so he's closer to that than to GM.
      Anyway, given that these are 10 minute games, I would think he likely is Super GM in the 10 minute format. (But it's a very uncommon format at higher levels.)
      Anyway, here is an 80 game fast time-format match against Magnus where Danya wins half the games. th-cam.com/video/-gspiFARqto/w-d-xo.html
