Been watching a lot of chess videos lately to improve my game and I can say without a doubt that you explain the game more concisely than the other GM's I've been watching. Straight to the facts, no bs. I like that.
@@deadvirgin428 I get the distinct feeling that Hikaru's students don't actually truly understand what he's saying, they either just think they do or are being super polite about it
29:04 thanks for covering this. Seems like every 1200 player out there just focuses on killing knights no matter what the material cost is. Much harder to defend bishop to b5 when not using the Sicilian defense, so I'm probably going to adopt it now.
I play the taimonov, thanks for the super relevant ideas, I was so sad when this almost became the 5 billionth sicilian dragon video on youtube. and then suddenly....e6 BLESS!
I would like to point out the fact that now Charlie for pogchamps 3 is receiving similar opening prep to Voyboy here, so maybe Charlie is on similar lvl now?
Pretty cool, I noticed I have a teaching style very similar to Daniel's. TBH I wouldn't be surprised if when he teaches kids if he uses Fortnite and Minecraft references as well
im surprised when you edit you dont overlap two videos and crop voyboy down to just his window and put it over the top of him on the main video with his respo ses matching what we hear
Should I ignore the Sicilian Defence until I'm much higher rated? I've heard advice that it's too theoretical for 1000 ELO players (low I know), and that I should play French defence instead?
Rating isn't a lineair measure, so you might be 1000 because your tactics are lacking, or because you blunder a lot, or because you play terrible openings etc. As long as you understand the idea behind the Sicilian Defence I'd say go for it, but that also means that you can improvise if your opponent plays a move that's not theory like was discussed in this video. And this improvising part is why it's a bad idea for 1000 elo players, because your knowledge and tactical skill is often suboptimal. The sicilian is a very sharp position that needs to played accurately, so at a lower rating it's a bit of a double edges sword, either you blunder a lot in a sharp line or you opponent does (or both). What it ultimately comes down to is what kind of player you are, GM Eric Hansen for example was in his earlier days a very aggresive very tactical player that sacs everything and plays for quick checkmates, but he only got to GM level after he learned how to play very strategical and slow. So my advice for you is, if you are a slow strategic player, don't learn the Sicilian, but play something boring and safe where you slowly choke your opponents and then after you've reached like 1500 learn the Sicilian and move to a more aggresive style to learn to be a more tactical tricky aggresive player. If you're already an aggresive player then learn the sicilian and continue to play aggresively until you're around 1500 and then learn to play more positional strategic and boring.
You should play the opening that suits your playstyle, if there was such a thing as too theoretical, no beginner would play e4 as it is packed with enormous amounts of theory. The amount of theory that has been developed for an opening only affects you when you're strong enough to actually learn that theory, but even then, if you understand the opening you should reach a playable middlegame regardless as players around your level will be incapable of punishing it and when you finally get to a level where they can actually punish your inaccuracies, you will have already learned how to play accurately
Low-rated players should always start with 1.e5. This is the main theoretical move and by understanding this well, you can move to other openings. I am 2200 and I play e5, sicilian and french and I can assure you that it will be beneficial to begin with learning e5 properly.
Not true, the Sicilian is just as straightforward as e5, it simply has a different plan. You can play it if you like it. It's not like you have to play super sharp lines like the Najdorf either, the classical Sicilian is pretty solid.
Daniel...when people want to give you money... and they don't even play chess...but are fascinated watching you play and teach. Something is working in the teaching zone.
Can u please organize the theory that in order from beginners to.masters especially in the alapin I think you r the most instructional chess teacher o utube I have learned way more how to think while playing chess
I really, really like the content but if we could not get hit with an ad every 2 minutes that would be amazing as it really messes with my concentration of the lesson. :D
hard to watch with this clown being so loud and cranky, only here for daniel and the content.eating and speaking gibberish most of the time seems disrespectful, these streamers dont appreciate the opportunity of interacting with one of the best GMs
Dude is so chill and accessible with how he speaks

The Kid Genius and The Prophet actually knew each other from before? What a small world
They both landed on the same spaceship
& he’s answered our prayers by uploading more content🔥🔥🔥
From a 1200 whos encountered some of these nuances, this video was EXTREMELy helpful.
Daniel > Hikaru ????
I didn’t realise he coached both champions lol
hotel? trivago
Daniel is definitely a better coach, Hikaru honestly just sucks at it.

@@Musicrafter12 i think that is an unfair speculation towards them because we cant prove otherwise without them admitting so
talk about result based analysis

Bro, I can't believe you only have 16k subs when you're one of the best chess teachers out there.
Almost 26k just a month later. You love to see it.
@@atonesb5251 43k now ayyy thank goodness
@@name8329 And in just two more months: 117k. I think that speedrun-series is working the algorithm right.
@@helgebrekke Try 255k

that's actually great content
Voy is so fun to watch, hope you do some more lessons post pogchamps
You never showed the pawn push to E5 *cries
lmaoo in the beginning you see hans niemann as an international master before he became a gm
At 32:52, why can't the rook move to b8? Newbie at chess here
cuz white would take with the bishop
Take a shot everytime voyboy says ayyy let’s go
Bingo!
Can u please organize the theory that in order from beginners to.masters especially in the alapin I think you r the most instructional chess teacher o utube I have learned way more how to think while playing chess
wtff what a small world indees. its crazy. never thought this would be so wholesome before i clicked

"I love sacks in general", ok
This content is amazing!
Nice Video . Can you suggest any books on puzzles ?
chess.com or lichess.org has literally thousands puzzles
When I was 8 I was good at eating worms and pissing myself
this guy is actually zuck 2
love the vids daniel
Daniel: Hikaru is a bitch Chessbae94: Do you want to coach pogchamps 2? Daniel: Hikaru is the best!!!!
like like like like jesus voyboy
I came here to learn :)
I always play Sicilian against e4, everyone I play at my level develops their bishop to bc4
how to use chessbase?
Thank you
The profit
While Scarra is a GM at TFT, Voyboy mastering OG Chess. Are Imaqtpie and Iwilldominate next?
drinking game: take a drink everytime VoyBoy says "like"
This suggestion is like indirect mass murder.
Uh, like I want to like play better but, like, my mom says I’m like, no good it’s like so frustrating
He really cant take a compliment
Dan is da man!
4th!!! Charlie White owes his success to you.
Is that Angry Joe's cousin?
Once I noticed how much VoyBoy says "like", it made it so hard to listen, geez
I tried to edit out the likes, they were so often it ruined the convo and made it really choppy and awkward, decided to leave it in lmao
Yep he's got the California coast dialect alright
@@ClydeBarber you're the editor for daniels vids? Nice. Thanks for at least attempting to edit out his annoying "likes" either way
Bingo
The amount of "Like" that voyboy uses in his language is so annoying
I really, really like the content but if we could not get hit with an ad every 2 minutes that would be amazing as it really messes with my concentration of the lesson. :D
