somehow i find these games where you sacrifice a piece early on far more instructive than most of the other games. they really demonstrate the importance of squeezing the most amount of potential out of every move.
Yeah watching gms play lower rated players without some kind of odds isn't always that instructive cause half the time they are already winning after the first 5 moves. Most of the time just knowing why a move is inaccurate in the opening.
I think the way he instructs is subliminally effective. I may not feel like I’ve gained anything by watching him crush his opponent, but his concepts and voice is in my head as I’m playing my own games.
@@chrisbeaudoin9818 I would disagree. They are both instructive in different ways. Danya playing the best moves in a normal position are supposed to help us see and remember those best moves in our own games. Danya doesn't play any of the openings I play a lot though lol but I find his thoughts instructive nonetheless. The point is for us to not end up down a piece by move 15 when he plays normally
Can't really say who is the best but you should definitely check out few videos from chessbase India , there are also various playlists available according to your needs
If only I could be this calm when making decisions in my own games. Everything Daniel says and does seems so logical and inevitable. I just want to think like him.
16:54 I could've used this advice yesterday. Had a crushing attack in my game yesterday: up two pawns, no queens on the board, preparing to either queen a pawn or capture his rook if he wanted to sac it... completely tunnel-visioned on my attack when my opponent moved a pawn that freed his blocked-in bishop, and by ignoring that I moved a pawn of my own preparing to bring my own bishop into the attack, only to completely miss he had a check-fork that allowed him to take my rook and then my knight, which was defended by the rook. Game ended in a draw with a really weird endgame where I had four pawns and a bishop against a rook and two pawns, but I'm still kicking myself over that a day later!
Great episode highlighting winning from a losing position (down a piece in the early game), and for high levels how to effectively utilize a pawn storm to win the game (hooks, cavities, when to open center, speed of attack/counter attack, endgame patterns)
0:16 that 'accelerated ruy lopez' has actually been called the Portuguese opening (not to be confused with the portuguese variation/portuguese gambit in the scandinavian)
was in a drawish/losing position with 24 seconds on my clock vs my opponents 3 min on move 43. I checkmated him on move 73 with 9 seconds left, no increment. Feels good man
Ya totally agree,sometimes ppl resigns too early,please keep in mind haha we are just normal players(not a master or gm) like even down a piece does not mean you are done and no chance anymore
I've watched almost every video you post, and I found this one to be especially helpful. My pawn storms never seem to work, and I have new ideas to try. In general, you have made chess fun again, thank you so much for your hard work.

This was very instructive and beautiful. I really like the way Daniel is so articulate and humble enough to explain all these ideas to lower rated audiences to actually teach them and enjoy them. Great stuff 👍🏽
It’s nice to see such a polite opponent. It feels like I’ve come across so many people on this site who choose to be dicks to others. My biggest pet peeve is all the players who taunt you for taking your time to think in a rapid game.
Lol mouse break shoutout. I heard about Daniel destroying his mouse or something and thought it was his pet mouse at first and was horrified lol. Was relieved and of course Daniel wouldn’t do that. Big fan
I think you are a great chess teacher. Your speedruns are awesome so far and you explain the concepts in a way it is simple to understand. One suggestion i have for you is to mute when sipping/drinking/eating. It is very annoying for people with misophonia. Besides that everything you do is great!
Daniel should have so many more subscribers....this is top quality chess coaching and it's free. No offense but there is too much "chess-influencer" garbage on the internet.... Thank you Danya for staying real and creating so much quality content.
5:55 need to keep all pieces close by including queen when you're down material. you don't have the ability anymore to try to do long range tactics that abandon the king
beginner here - my line of thinking at 6:17 would have been to take with the knight instead of the queen, because it'd be easier to develop my queen later versus my knight. Thoughts on this?
Hey danya, i think its a good idea to make an entire speedrun of this type of sack a piece at the start so we can all learn to handle position where we blunder heavily early. like maybe 10+0 time control to enable flagging and tricks as well. thanks
@@mrpotatohed4 😂 think I got random Deja vu. That moment explaining what his opponent is thinking about the draw offer and the story seemed identical to a past speed run
“We are going e4 and then ba6” *goes e4 and then ba6* oh no guys it was a mouse slip guys, oh no chat, it was a mouse slip chat, so bad, yeh chat im so bad, but I don’t care chat..
That's just bad sportsmanship to offer a draw in a completely winning position, it's just bad sportsmanship. Like there's somethings you don't do, like offering a draw because you feel bad for your opponent but I literally don't care
@@xPandaaaah i could b wrong but i thought ive seen videos in the past with him having normal, brown eyes or something. idk though, they seem like contacts
The man took a free bishop with his knight but never ever moved his knight again to get it into the game. Computer says +3 but to me it was a draw until he moved that knight xD

You mean good sportsmanship. His opponent offered him a draw before, and he wanted to return the favour.
Kudos to the opponent who was gentle enough to offer the draw.
Super interesting game as always :D
Yes this was a very classy move from his opponent!
"bishop sac variation" :)) i died
You died so did the bishop
0:16 that 'accelerated ruy lopez' has actually been called the Portuguese opening (not to be confused with the portuguese variation/portuguese gambit in the scandinavian)
Oh god, this is exactly the kind of game I was looking for. Playing from behind from the start. Thanks for this, great stuff.
Not even lying, I gained more than 100 rating points just by not resigning too early.
Literally, the last two games I played my opponent resigned way too early. It is never to late for me to blunder.
Wow! I can finally go from 450 to 550!

Looking forward to this upcoming game. I typically play the Scotch opening as white, so this will help me expand my opening repertoire.
Wow! 2. Ba6!! What a novelty
Italian better
@@epicwolves125 I have heard that italian is better for beginners and then ruy lopez for more advanced players no?
Around 30:10 Wasn't there a defensive plan for white with Ke8 ... g6 Kg7 and Kh5 ?
Thank you very much for this type of video, I really appreciate that ❤️
that was the Naroditsky Gambit a hyper uber super modern opening
Although these concepts do come naturally it always helps to revise Great video:)

Knight on f6 takes e4, the knight is the only defender of the pawn so you'd blunder a pawn by moving it
