      Agreed. As an aspiring KID player myself I was nodding my head along with almost all of blacks moves as they seemed to make so much sense to my limited understanding and Danya just absolutely dismantled him! Really cool to see, but also a little bit scary!

  • @aravindsfirst
    @aravindsfirst ปีที่แล้ว +136

    I think that was the longest laid plan which was successfully executed on a speedrun video, with a couple of ad-breaks on the queen-side. Absolutely unbelievable plan which worked out so well like a movie script. How can Danya ever top this?

    • @DavidWeinerProfile
      @DavidWeinerProfile ปีที่แล้ว +2

      One of the most frustrating things about facing the KID is how easy it is as black to play near book moves for 10-15 even at low ELO. Very tough to gain a significant advantage against even with great accuracy.

  • @swithin2645
    @swithin2645 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    I've been in love with the Averbakh since the last time Danya showed it, but always struggled to make progress after h5-g5 closed the kingside. I'd end up sac-ing the bishop too early and usually lose, but this taught me so many cool ideas like delaying f3, how to reroute the knight, the Rb1 resource to deal with black's a3 and the need to connect the rooks without castling before Bxg5. So excited to take these ideas into my games!

    • @KeepChessSimple
      @KeepChessSimple ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If the kingside is closed; castling queenside,walk the king all the way to g2 and then attack the queenside is also a legit plan.

  • @tommydashed4205
    @tommydashed4205 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think the potential of pieces is the hardest concept for new players to understand. The activity of a piece directly and strongly correlates with its future prospects. Just because a knight is on an outpost for example doesn't make it active if it can't go to any squares and sometimes it needs to come back and be redeployed. A piece pointed at a weak pawn often has the best kind of activity because it has the potential to capture a pawn and when weak pawns fall there tends to be a cascade effect because often the defending sides entire position collapses since their play leading up to that point was to defend that pawn. Thus the position of their pieces no longer makes sense and now the absence of that pawn creates more weaknesses in their position. The knight on f5 in this game would be pointed at two weak pawns and every forward square in Black's position is a potential landing space. That knight might be the most valuable knight possible behind only a knight giving checkmate. Therefore, just the potential of going to that square already constitutes a lot of activity as black's options become very limited because they cannot allow the knight to land on f5 free of charge. Very instructive illustration of how the threat can be stronger than the execution even if the threat is just positional.

And I‘d like to quote that previous video here: „Just because computers exist doesn‘t mean there no longer is any magic hidden in chess. Actually it means that now we can appreciate the magic even more!“
    In my opinion, seeing the engine spit out Nxg4 as a critical resource for Black isn‘t souring the combination for me, it lets me learn without worshipping false idols so to speak.

    On move 13, Nxg5 was winning according to SF. Aside from that insane sac for long term compensation, these closed type of positions remind me of computer chess games where it seems that black has a blockade/fortress, but usually does not. See games 98 and 100 from the TCEC Season 23 Super Final and see how Stockfish crushes Lc0 in a closed position to learn more.
