@@nolansaunders5220 yeah but as he said, thanks to his content and didactic pedagogy plus his clarity in communication, he knows his thing very well and also how to give out his knowledge
It’s very annoying how much sense everything Daniel says makes when he’s explaining it to the point where I say to myself “damn this is all very easy. He makes it make so much sense!!” And then I try and play by myself and I blunder queens left and right
Same here bro..eric rosen. Gotham. Daniel. Aman these guys makes it look easy move by move but I cant get the same result while playing 😛 Btw hikaru is on another level he is too fast for learning
Blundering pieces and pawns is by far the number 1 reason people have lower ratings like around 1300-1500. Part of it is not calculating out lines, if you are not calculating out lines to about 5 plys, that is a problem. Also, constantly look for loose pieces of both your own and your opponent. And look for type 2 loose peices, a piece that is defended once and attack once. Finally, it helps a lot to do tactics and combinations puzzles and also look at your games afterword and see all the missed tactical opportunites on both side. Until you become a pretty good tactical player, you will never increase your rating, because it is so common to blunder and it ends the game pretty much on the spot.
Since I started watching Danya and his speedrun videos, I've gone from 1000 rating to 1550 in about a year. Just from re-watching these and learning from each match where I can improve. Daniel if you read this I hope you know how much these videos help make Chess accessible to players of all skill levels.
I don't know how is it possible that this channel does not have a million subscribers. It is the best by far. Having such a strong GM giving lessons for free is amazing.
That “putting your time to good use” is like my motto when playing chess. Since I always play 30-minute games, I almost always spend the entire game during the middlegame, just to make sure I don’t blunder. Many people doesn’t seem to realize this, as I’ve had opponents (which probably are used to blitz/bullet) who would chat me with “zzz” or “???” when I haven’t made a move for a few minutes, which to me was really weird and annoying. Like bro, why’d you even pick to play a 30-minute game if you’ll just blitz moves and expect that your opponent would do the same.
Yeah thise kind of pepole are so frustrating The irony is thst they are usually completely lost with still 28 minutes on the clock lol Also sorry for bad English
I usually don’t comment on videos but i have to say this, your videos really helped me improve so much. You’ve changed my whole way of thinking about positions and so made me so much more tactically aware, taught me when a move is good and when it isn’t, when i should be scared of pawn pushes etc. My rating shot up from 1300 rapid to 1581. And all this for free. We love you Daniel keep up the great content.
There are so many nuggets in these videos that are super useful and easy to integrate into my game. Like defending with Nbd7 and not rushing toward h6. Sometimes I think I overthink things in chess, because at my level if you develop all your pieces in a harmonious and logical way you usually just win.
3:00 There is 0-0-0 here actually because of Qe4! Escaping the skewer with a pin, and if black tries f5?! to deflect the queen we can escape the deflection with Qd5+ using the newly opened diagonal. Then after the king moves, the rook escapes too
I don’t really play chess daily or really play at all but I still watch danya bcuz I love to support and just watch him play and explain. It’s crazy bcuz I just played about 6 games and went 4-2 around 1350 elo and I think that’s due to just watching danya. Being able to play at 1350 after not playing in almost a year shocks me. He is one of the greatest
Sí. Yo igualmente lo creo. Si no me engaño es el mejor GM en YT (excepto Hikaru que es super, pero no es tan didactico). Yo descobri este canal hace poco tiempo y veo los videos todos los dias. Saludos desde Brasil.
Kudos to the first opponent tho. I think the reason he got this far is he was playing aggressive, tactical chess (sometimes dubious) but not getting punished. I'm pretty sure that person had much, much better games in the past, hopefully with higher accuracy.
Danya, I absolutely live to watch your videos. Some might think it to be a useless excuse for life but I love your personality, your intellect, your attitude, and overall your double dose speed runs. Thank you for this, I can’t wait to learn something new.
11:29 What if black plays c5? I assume it leads to a position with an isolated pawn but your Bishop is placed aggressively and simultaneously your remove your opponent's central pawn. My question is whether c5 can be played or not.
Wow I just got the exact same line as game 1 until 11.Qh4 at ~1300 rating; I don't think I would've found the knight/rook fork without this video, thank you!
Thanks Danya I'm so proud of my chess improvement I used to be 800 just three years ago and now I'm 840. I feel confident in my tactical instincts and positional awareness . My favourite gambit is the King's gambit accepted.
I was going to complain about the QGA in the title when i saw a four knights scotch being played, but then saw the blunder and said oh ok it's the second game...but that's still not the QGA ;)
Danya and Eric are like watching well written TV shows. Levy is the useless but entertaining 30 minute comedy. Agadmator is the solid classic TV. Hikaru and Botez are the Kardashians. Not my cup of tea.
Danya is one of the best chess teachers on the internet. Seriously I've improved tremendously in chess with his simple content. Simply Amazing

I openedyt and Danya posted one minute prior. A perfect way to end my evening.
openedyt
If only he uploaded daily, the wait is sickening frankly
Me: "oh maybe a5 to prevent b4"
Danya 2 seconds later: "99% of you would play a5 here"
Me: "pfft a5? So dumb"
24:48 this is what happened after I blundered a piece while Danya was my coach

Yes, I found this instructional too. I would have played ...g6 and...Bf5; also okay, but I LOVE not weakening my Kingside if it can be helped :)

After Bxf3: white has 3 pieces covering that square, but each of them are pinned in a different way. Great stuff, Danya!

Love the moth killing scene. Make that a gif and put it in the twitch or discord chat anytime someone gets banned xD
Wonderful explanations about opening concepts throughout!🙏
Danny, another great video once again, every single one is gold to me. Keep it up and thanks for the countless lessons.
5:08 ohhh! we lost the pawn 🤣
NOOO Danya don't tell them about that Vienna Gambit trap. That single line probably gave me 300 free ELOs
New favorite chess term: "Concretizing"
😂
The only thing better than Danya video before bed . . . Waking up to a new Danya video. Awesome 🙂
Thanks Doc
After Qd1, Qe7 you can play Qe2 forcing the knight to retreat. Very similar to if black accepts the vienna gambit. 6:43
Yes he said the exact same thing lol
2 fun games and a homerun moth swing, quality content
That moth got fuckin' merked.
Danya in the first game is a more mild version of my condescension towards people continuing to play a game down 12 points. “Oh no my pawn”
I was stuck...on 1000...but after watching your speedruns i reached 1400 😅😅...truly grateful ....very helpful videos.....

Hello, abbas56 here. I was playing with my feet. Thanks for the game.
Underrated comment.
The only chess related video I will always click on
RIP moth
thanks
Daniel makes it look so easy.
I tend to play the exact structure in the second game in the advance French, other side has an e instead of c pawn but it’s just as solid
3:05 isn't taking the biship on his terms a bit of inaccuracy because he can take with the b pawn and open the b file for his rook
i mean, not really, u're still up a full rook anyways
@@zeninguem1937 well I know that, but it doesn't answer the question
I just know that if I ever ended up in a speedrun, I'd end up playing like the first guy.
Finally like the old series
Online players don't know any opening theory compared to anywhere remotely equivalent in classical chess.
Where is the queens gambit acccepted from the title?
4:34 he said if you watch what ? I am curious what chess content he is refering to
Hey Daniel, do you answer on Patron questions?
Couldn’t help but notice the title of the video says “Queen’s Gambit Accepted” when the featured game is a Queens gambit declined
5:08
Why is the video called Queen's Gambit Accepted, am I missing something?
hahahahaha we lost our pawn let's resign
in the second game you can play Bxf3 and not Nxf3 afterwards but Ng5
Can you do a kings Indian?
R.I.P moth.. you will be missed😞
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN A2 PAWN . . . .
Queen's Gambit Accepted? is this the wrong title?
I was going to complain about the QGA in the title when i saw a four knights scotch being played, but then saw the blunder and said oh ok it's the second game...but that's still not the QGA ;)
Is putting back to back games on the speedrun a response to Gotham saying Danyas speed run is actually a tortoise run???
Can you do opening analysis on Nxe4 Four Knights Scotch, it's a really cool sideline and scores very well
Danya make a video on IQP structure for both black and white ...... Those play is hard for me as a 1900
At what time does he streams?
He has no schedule, usally he streams evenings or nights US west coast time. Sometimes he goes on until morning.
5:08 Literally an "oh no my pawn" moment
So many people starting a rapid game and then taking zero time to play bad moves.
