    Hi Danya! Seeing how much contribution and dedication you have been offering to the chess community, you inspired me to do the same, and by that I mean I want to help you reach a wider audience by translating your contents but I don’t know how to reach you so I left a comment here. There used to be a community captions feature but it has been removed since 2020 and got replaced with a subpar auto-translate feature, so I’m not sure how it works now, but I’ll look into it. My native tongue is Vietnamese so that’s gonna be my main target language, however, I also know enough to proof-read French and Mandarin for grammatical errors.
    If you’re interested, let me know. It will be my pleasure.

    As a 700-800 new player, I've been binge watching chess videos to improve and this is definitely the best and most useful video I've watched. I get so stressed in game at playing the correct opening and regardless of time I try to force the game into positions I know. Daniel shows here so easily that if you just relax and play the game Infront of you it's alot more simple. Brilliant series, gives me alot of hope that I'll improve and enjoy every game.

    Began playing chess about one year ago and can safely say that your content is a large part of why I've managed 1400 on lichess (and climbing). Providing this level of educational content for us to consume for free is incredible. So if you read this just keep up the good work and know that I was one of those people that appreciated when you explained why the f7 pawn is a weakness.

    11:49 this such a great tip! Best beginner tip I have every got lol thank you for slowing down for us beginners! I'm sorry it's a drag but these sorts of information are SO important for us to learn and I'm glad that it isn't just skipped like everyone knows this stuff. This is really great teaching and the fact you do these sorts of videos for us for FREE is really awesome! Everyone is always SO DRY when they teach chess.. I get that it can be a boring game to some and when ur trying to learn chess it's tough to listen to people that just have no enthusiasm lol I feel like you make the chess lesson easy to listen to and pay attention... it's such an important part of teaching that so many qualified people just lack when they try and do videos like this. This is 1000x better than the Chessbrahs speed runs with the constant rave music going in the background and no breakdown of the games like this. Idk that their speedruns are meant to be as educational... but then theres like Anna Cramling's videos where she is just like yelling at us the whole time lol like WAAAAY too over the top in her chess videos. It's hard on the ears. This isn't like a diss on any of those channels! I consume the content and am subscribed to all of them lol but you have very quickly become my favorite instructional coach! My only real complaint is that I wish there were a few more games in and around my level which is exactly what I think ur trying to avoid lol but there are people like me out here that really appreciate this. Thank you!

    I am 1500 (rapid) and I am always impressed how you manage to distill learnings out of all games at all levels. I think in focusing on the fundamentals against lower ranked players and more detailed/positional/strategic considerations towards the high end you have found a great setup for the speed run. Please dont let the few internet haters ruin your mood - the speedruns are pure gold

      @@joshuaaa3337 Full disclosure here… I’m not a good candidate.
      I tested out at around 1000 against 3 different chess engines before starting to write my own chess notebook. I plan to finish my notebook by the end of this year, train for 3 months, then start playing online. I’ve become highly skeptical of “opening principles”, the value of tactics puzzles, and lots of other common advice. My notebook is just an honest experiment by an old boomer😆
      This series is valuable to check myself, and GM Danya’s commentary on his “speed runs” is simply the best I’ve bumped into.

    • @joshuaaa3337
      @joshuaaa3337 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@alexwiththeglasses that is so wonderful to write a book and you are still a beginner. having a 1000 chess rating is good as i knew someone who was stuck in 800 ELO for a long time and he told me that reaching 1000 was the most difficult part for him. increasing chess rating while learning from your mistakes is a beautiful journey. it takes time but the most important thing you should enjoy every moment while playing, and make losing is your big lesson rather than getting upset. when i play chess and lose i smile because i know i will learn something new when i analyze my game. my blitz and rapid ratings are above 2000, but in bullet i am still in 1700. my goal is to make it above 2000 as well while enjoying every part of the chess game especially those games that i lose. i just want you to remember two things when you start playing a chess game. First, don’t be scared from your opponents when their rating is greater than your rating. Play calmly and show your opponents what you have learnt so far. Being scared will distract your thoughts which means the probability of losing is very high. Second, every chess player makes mistakes, not matter how high is his/her rating, even Carlsen does, and when that happens by your opponents, crush them immediately by seizing the moment. This means play well and be patient waiting for the big blunder from your opponent. It takes only 1 move to convert +100 bar to -100 bar.

    • @alexwiththeglasses
      @alexwiththeglasses ปีที่แล้ว

      @@joshuaaa3337 Tyvm for such a thoughtful reply and the advice!
      Imho anyone stuck at 1200 or lower is likely making a certain type of error, sometimes called a one-move blunder. Typical solutions to minimize these one-move blunders talk about board awareness, chess vision, looking at threats, pattern recognition and doing tactics puzzles. The first section of my notebook, First Stop the Bleeding, defines a simple process based on the rules of chess alone to completely eliminate these types of errors. Big claim but easy to prove. More complex blunders are less obvious for sure.
      My notebook is a personal experiment & lots of fun!

    @torbenmg8538 ปีที่แล้ว

    5:00 You say d5 'attacks and defends' which is misleading. The pawn can only do one thing at a time so it doesnt really threaten to win the bishop because then the knight would be undefended. One can even imagine a scenario where the pawn doesnt defend or attack because its pinned or where it defends inadequately because the knight is attacked twice. In these cases the knight would have to move (preferably to a square where it is defending or attacking something). I think the beginning of a speedrun is a nice place to talk about the interaction of basic strategies and tactics like this. Nice video.

    I got 2 games in a row against the Wayward Queen attack and destroyed it both times. At the lower levels, they’re usually diving headfirst into the couple move mate, which is easily preventable and punishable in some disgusting ways. The best game I’ve ever played was against a Wayward Queen attack after I had literally just studied to play against it. I played at a 95% accuracy and white blundered the Queen via fork on move 6. Develop intelligently and most importantly, stay calm. Their threats are just as Danya said. They’re scary but only at a beginner level. When you’ve stopped the 4 move mate once, it’ll be very hard for you to ever blunder it. They hardly ever do anything different at a 600-700 level.

    I'm rated 2700 in puzzles, but I often miss the simplest of tactics when playing. Explaining your thought process is very helpful to fill the gaps, doesn't matter whether your opponent is 500 or 5000

    Damn, almost broke 800 in a super sharp game after I blundered in the opening, I trapped his rook but then I moved my king 1 square instead of castling when his queen was on b2, which turned a 2 point advantage to mate in 2 :(

    they see three or four threats and their mind turns into mush

    23:45 can you gambjt the g2 pawn with Nf3 and if Qxg2 just rg1 getting the rook into the game and potential to harass the queen even more ?
