Hey ,Danya i wanna sincerely thank u bro.I started playing chess Nov 20 2023.Now i’m 1700. I have some spine issues and often it’s hard for me to think i even took 1,5 month gap cuz my head was just blurry all the time. but as i can compare to others it’s pretty decent result Mostly thanks to ur educational content and ur personality so pleasing to watch and follow ⭐️
I have the same feeling time and time again watching these videos: it is like seeing a magician performing his show for a vast audience. Once again, Daniel: thank you so much!
I've been watching Agadmator for 3 years now, Gotham for about 2, hikaru only occasionally, discovered this channel yesterday, Im ready to conclude you're the best...
Awesome games. 8:08 the pinner and the pinnee or are those suffixes not productive anymore? (Im not a native english speaker) Edit: he says "pinee" later but he defines it has the pinning piece. I assumed it differently. + thought i should have two "n"s. Edit 2: Wiktionary says im correct. "Pinner" and "pinnee" do exist.
hi daniel, im a massive fan and even bought your jobava london course. although since i mostly chess on my phone it is very hard to view the files in their intended way on mobile. I was wondering if you'd consider playing and teaching some of the key ideas in this speed run since you've mostly played against it as black in prior runs. (also if you have any recommendations on where i can read up on chess history please lmk!)
Danya, Could you give an instructive video upon closed positions in fantasy? I'm seriously annoyed when my opponent simply plays e6 Nd7 Ne7 and it looks freaking hard to crack the nut
24:47 ever since that queen moved to a5, I just couldn't stop laughing at how hilariously it participated in the lateral protection of landing squares on the 5th rank🤣🤣
Fantasy is good but my weapon against the caro is the two knights attack. Everyone at my level misplays it and you get a huge attack on move 4 many times
When I was learning I played the Italian, and lemme tell you, people were always crazy about the Philidor. I guess it's just intuitive to defend that pawn and they feel it makes the position less sharp somehow? Also, we could call it the "pinpoint"? Sounds pretty good, and doubly can indicate that a piece can be pinned to a *square* due to positional concerns or unstoppable attacks.
I really recommend looking into Morphy Gambit against Philidor, a ton of people will try to cling to their extra pawn with c5 which is just terrible, if not you still get a ton of compensation and force them into less familiar lines.
When i first started watching you Danya, i was struggling to understand and had to calculate my way through every point you made. Now, i watch you sacrifice for positional compensation, and i can kind of follow along 😂😂
London is such a weird thing. There are many attacking ways to play (and traps!) but almost nobody seems to be aware of them and they just do their setup then trade a lot and hope to win on time cause you fell asleep from boredom.
22:16 At the rook sacrifice/deflection he says really hard move. Cant you instead go Nxf2 Qxh5 N#h3 Kh2 pawn takes queen? Ruined kingside for black and you can potentially use ur rook in G file
allowing b5 and b4 pushing away the own pieces to the kingsside where you want them... well you can allow the opponent to do what he wants to do when you are vastly better but usually not against people of equal strength. but if you are a very strong player anyway... ofc let happen what wont happen with a better opponent who will rather not overextend just because he gains "free tempi". you want to trap opponents pieces or place or keep them on rather passive squares.
Hey Danya! Your analysis has really inspired me to start using chess engine analysis more in my games. I’ve went from 1000 elo to 2700 in a few weeks! Thanks a ton!!!
Danya you always struggle with this...the piece behind the pinned piece i think is referred to as the back or backing piece or the valuable piece...otherwise we could invent terms like pinmate, pintarget, pinshielded piece..
I work as a symphony orchestra director and we were in the middle of a concert when the notification from Danya's channel came through. So I had no options, but to stop the show and we didn't continue until we were done watching this episode. The audience fully supported my decision 😂 Thank you, Daniel ❤
To whom it may concern. This was a poorly played out defence of the Philidor's.

I did a search for "philidor speedrun" and no one seems to actively promote Philidor Defence. Most videos are about how to crush the Philidor. So its popularity remains a mystery.
Because it's not about the openings. There was never anything wrong with the Philidor. It amazes me how players obsess about openings when their overall chess strength isn't good.
@@musical_lolu4811 never anything wrong with the phildor? While I suppose that is true it scores poorly at all levels compared to any other choice. Because let's face it, while there is nothing wrong with the phildor there is nothing right to it either. If you really want to play the phildor though, you should approach it through, 1. e4 d6, 2. Nf3 Nf6, then e5 later. Gives you the better variations. (and actually scores well, in the mainline on lichess black scores 51% compared to the philidor standard line that scores 42%)
I know it only feels this way and isn't actually true. But all of us 800s are playing are games and reviewing them and seeing that our opponents play like 12 moves of perfect theory, then we come here and watch 1700s lose in 6 moves. Haha.
