    As a player around 2000- Daniel I just want you to know I’ve learned more from you than any paid lessons. Everything else is always too rushed and Ill-explained, or too dumbed down. This is just perfect. I love how you say ‘well you might think about such and such moves, but then this happens, so I’m actually looking at this’ because that’s always exactly what I am considering as I watch lol!
    You’re a gift of a gem to the chess community. Thank you for this invaluable content. You offer it in such a pleasant and perfect manner for me.

    Clearly shows that players of this rank are not used to being punished this heavily in the opening for their mistakes. As soon as the opponent realised they made a mistake, they spent a lot more time and effort on their moves and defended very well.

  • @danielnaroditskyfan2610
    @danielnaroditskyfan2610 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Having researched human problem solving a great deal, a recurrent theme is that people are very hesitant to pursue solutions that temporarily take them away from their goal state. This can lead to bad and inefficient choices. An example is in soccer, a new player can be biased towards believing that crowding around the ball is the best strategy because it feels closer to the goal state (shooting and scoring), yet spacing players out is a far superior strategy. Similarly in chess, over the course of this speed run, especially when a mating attack is near, the tendency of the chat seems to be to choose moves that feel "closest" to a checkmate, even if they are suboptimal and overlook the opponent's resources.

    • @archsys307

      The taimanov but only from 2230 to 2270. If you are below 2230 start with the dragadorf. If you are above 2270 or born on a leap year you must play the Kan.

    Nd4 is such a classy move after which the opponent is totally demoralized and resigns. At 1800 lichess, people never make such moves. One of the most tough mental things is to lose against people who know zero opening theory (like playing 3. Bc4 in the Sicilian what is called "Bowdler attack"), or playing extremely primitive chess, but that primitive chess is good enough if you blunder something on the way.

    Castling at 6:05 is a top GM move which I didn’t understand - why give up an important central pawn? I set up the position at 6:05 on an engine and 0-0 is the second best move losing the d6 pawn. The top suggestion is .. Ke7 but only a small difference in the evaluation even with the extra pawn. Ke7 is such an engine like move. No top chess player will do it. This kind of intuitive decision making is the difference between a top GM and players below IM level I guess.

    Do more D4 please!

    I'm not sure but I think the Maroczy bind structure is good in only 1 or two lines. Dragon Sicilian is the only place I know it from. So avoid building it without a good reason.

      It's certainly good a lot more often. White even could play it like this, it's just that Danya made d4 impossible

      @@walterbrownstone8017 the computer approves of the maroczy bind in several move orders. You can even play it in the Reti. Nf3, Nf6. c4, c5 and then if black either goes for g6 dragon style or just plays e6/d6 you can play Nc3, e4 and then d4 as white (in a lot of move orders, most are no dragon transpositions)

    I really don't understand Black castling in this game. It hands White the initiative for no reason. Danya can get away with it though.

      Castling prevents some annoying tactics cause the queen can go to a4 and threaten Bxc6 or things of that sort. By castling you remove the king from the area and by doing so you remove it from danger and the threat of tactics

      It’s a true GM move which I didn’t understand either - why give up an important central pawn? I set up the position at 6:05 on an engine and 0-0 is the second best move losing the d6 pawn. The top suggestion is .. Ke7 but only a small difference in the evaluation even with the extra pawn. Ke7 is such an engine like move. No top chess player will do it. This kind of intuitive decision making is the difference between a top GM and a 2000 level player I guess.

      @@BM-hj6lq I think it’s mainly just an intuitive move. We’re already up a couple pawns so losing another pawn doesn’t really matter cause there’s that insane passer and white really has no strong attack, so once the attack fizzles out then whites getting crushed. by castling you put your king in safety and makes it so white can’t really consolidate

      I don’t understand his feeling of needing to castle either, the king was perfectly safe in the center in this position.
