I like when Danya plays 4d chess by recommending moves for his opponent that blunders to combat stream snipers.
Just set a delay on stream...
@@lottoking7777 he can't interact with his viewers properly then
@@motelbotelsure he can, they jus have to wait a minute or 2 for his reply..
@@lottoking7777well if its a good enough delay itd be closer to like 3 minutes
One smoorfs another snipes. They're even
Danya, since I’m catching this video early, I just want to say thanks for making these videos! They literally carried me from almost a 1300 level to now 2000 and climbing fast in under a year. I recently won my first chess tournament, and I firmly believe that it wouldn’t have happened without these videos.
That's impressive! Congrats on your tournament win 😀
I hope I win my match tomorrow too! And also, this video got the perfect timing because Im desperately needing a counter to sicilian without memorizing too much
2000 is sick! How did you progress this quickly?
Im just starting out in chess and this guys explanation is craaazy genius... how he lets his time just tick away just shows how good he is
2000 is crazy
11:20 is a great instructional moment. I often struggle to decide where to develop my queen on the second rank and will now never forget this idea.
I enjoy watching your videos more than I enjoy playing chess itself
Probably cause watching a GM explain chess and making it look easy is preferable to actually developing these ideas yourself
@@Gabe-zm9vh damn
That Qc4 move was incredibly suspicious, not gonna lie
It really was. And I was already growing suspicious of stream sniping.
It seems suspicious but the fact it was played so quickly after he said it kind of relieves suspicion because of stream delay.
@@starship1701 the yt video cuts after he says that so it seems like he moved quickly. My guess is he waited for a couple seconds before that move was made.
Definitely suspicious, but it's worth noting that without the tactic that Daniel mentioned it's actually very logical. It's not impossible that they simply missed the tactic and played what they thought was a solid move.
Ultimately we'll never know for sure.
@@reidcole6179 You can just look at black's time instead of guessing.. 6:26 remaining before the cut, 6:23 remaining after the cut.
My God, I can't really explain how much of a honor is to be able to watch your classes, Danya. What a great work I must say! You were born a teacher. So natural listening to your explanations!!! Thank you a lot for these videos. I hope you get rewarded here in life and in afterlife as well, Sensei.
I love how much you explain your thought process and options for both yourself and the opponent. It's not something you can get from analysis and engines, extremely valuable! Thanks for making these videos!
Haha he played the queen move🤣
he made a fool out of cheater.
@@optimalbrand it's not an obvious blunder and the move looks pretty natural on the surface, no need to accuse without proof
He had nothing to do with any other piece, all pawn moves would be very weakening and risky versus a clearly much better opponent and Qc4 attacks the a2 pawn, one of the most important things was to create counterplay and win back pawns to atleast draw. That was not suspicious, just a weird coincidence in my book. His profile looks consistent with the play we experienced. He completely ran into other ideas discussed on stream so I neither suspect sniping nor cheating. Danya is just incredibly strong at prognosing beginner and intermediate moves, he is called the prophet for a reason!
Great video as always! 😄
I love the late night uploads fits perfect with my night routine of watching chess😊
Hey Danya, keep up the good work bro. Appreciate it!
Daniel is an american national treasure, so didactic and well paced.
Superb Videos On How to Approach A Game Of Chess From A Tactical And Positional Perspective. Learning A Lot Watching These Speedruns...
Just won my first ever OTB game thanks to you Danya! These late night speedrun games make all the difference!
I'm only 1100 blitz but not many people know I watch Danya.
what's ur elo logan ?
I won my first OTB tournament game yesterday! Yay us
congrats man,OTB wins feel amazing
Great job with these Videos thank you sooo much Danya for being THE chess teacher of the internet
th-cam.com/video/vTmK65znX2o/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant episode. The only thing that I always add is you must do a whole lot of tactics before you will be able to instantly 'see' the whole board. For most people tactics are the quickest route to improvement.
Thank you Daniel
Thanks!
I used to play like an advanced french because I didn't like playing with a symmetric pawn structure, but now I see it's not at all boring to play if you take the pawn. I may come back to play the alapin thanks to you danya.
Wow you caught that (probable) stream snipe with class lol
ye that was epic
"There is a sort of ticking clock here" made me laugh. Well yes Danya. Yes there is.
Thank you
Great game
29:33 died at "queen disease" 🤣 this should be a speed run term alongside onemovitis and Frankfurt Airport
God damn it Daniel. I was about to go to bed, and then you throw up another speed-run episode. I guess sleep can wait.
My man!
Danya, a few weeks ago your videos became a lot quieter for some reason, might wanna check your audio settings. great vid, much love
This is the type of games i like. Just logical positional moves to spotting small tactics and ultimately winning the game. Problem is i don't see those tactics quite frequently though 😅
This guy played insanely well for a 1600. Props to him!
Nevermind I think he was stream sniping lol
@@owenkelliher4927 don't be convinced just by the coincidence of the Qc4. It's also the most natural move there, look for yourself, what would you play? It's the only move that threatens an undefended pawn, which is probably why Danya called it.
Awesome, thanks
TIL Rd3 @ 23:45 would have been a colinear move, thanks to Danya's Tata Steel commentary.
I was first exposed to you as a Tata Steel commentator, and man... you are one of the best chess teachers on youtube. I respect and appreciate that tremendously!
Yesssssssssirrrrrrrrrrreeeeee
It's a Даня videoeeee!!!!!
thanks
nice
Someone should make a collection of all the tactics in Danya's games from the speedruns. Loved the explanation of the tactic before Nxe5
Best chess youtuber ever.
I finally got through an entire piece for the first time on piano yesterday the aria from Goldberg variations
I think yasser likes the knight on c5
Another excellent choice!
Danya really be struggling with the arrows today lol
GOAT teacher
Best teacher on YT.
alapin is the fun stuff
Crazy that this kind of instructional content is free
25:35 if night took E5 pawn, F6 black pawn got E5 night then white Queen could of gotten E5 without any threat I don’t understand why he didn’t play it
@@xedsity If nxe5 then fxe5 qxe5 is met with re8 only good move is qg3 then re2 allows the rook into the second rank to start gobbling up pawns and creating all sorts of queen threats. If white plays rd2 to continue then even qb6+ and after kh1 then qf2 and the game become very hard for black. At least, according to the engine.
Would love for you to play open sicilian for us. Very educational
What’s the name of the Alapin book he uses at the end as reference?
I love how danya is talking to his pieces lol.
What book was Daniel referencing at the end of the video?
There was a player in the final round of Tata Steel 2023 that would have won the tournament if he took the advice given in this video on endgames. BTW I definitely think the opponent was listening.
3:57 missed the chance for "Na3 is a typical devAlapin move"
THANKS !
As someone who has never seen a battery they don't like, Qe2 was really instructive.
Wow new video so soon
Does anyone know which exact book it is that daniel uses to look up his openings? Im kinda on the lookout for a nice chess book..
Just curious, does he use delay on the stream and if so then by how much?
Genuis
I love that when we play Sicilian as black, we are super bummed if we do not get an open Sicilian, but when we play Sicilian as white, we use the Alapin 😅
You can't expect to get open sicilian if you don't even play it yourself. I think people who truly appreciate the sicilian will also play open sicilian as white.
@@wildorca4500 that's not true, if you play the Sicilian as black you're aware of how deadly it can be - I play it as black but I've never willingly gone into an open as white because it's scary lol
@@Hsel-lc1wt Open Sicilian is beautiful and aggressive. Alapin is passive and kinda ugly (imo).
@@Hsel-lc1wt If it was just bad and scary for white then no-one would play it. Why is it the main line then?
@@wildorca4500 I'm not saying no-one plays it, or it's bad - I'm just saying that playing an anti Sicilian is a very viable option, and it doesn't mean you don't love the Sicilian. Top GMs have been playing the Rossolimo for years, does that mean they don't live the Sicilian?
where could i buy the alapin bible?
i think itz the perfect opporunity to develop
Danya and Simon Williams are the two most instructional chess TH-camrs for sure
I think that Simon is a little biased about attacking at all costs. Danya is the best. He makes things so simple and rational.
@@Grandcapi can't argue with that 😉
Hey danya,you provided such great endgame videos...I hope you'll make rook endgame video too....😇
Hey Danya, I highly doubt you will see this or if its even possible, but I would love if sometime you could play a game where you have computer analysis for 4 or 5 moves total and you could not only explain your thoughts like you do every game, but also contrast what you thought with what the computer is saying and perhaps even explain the weird computer suggestions to the best of your ability, to show have different lines can diverge in interesting but not worse ways in the midgame.
The logistics of it are awkward though since you would probably just have to play a strong bot or a subscriber, but with a random subscriber you may not get enough challenge to make it worthwhile? I don't know, maybe this is a stupid idea, I am just finding it increasingly fun to analyze your games while watching here on TH-cam and noticing the difference between computer moves and your fundamental moves is fascinating, while I think you also being alerted to ideas you completely missed and how you would react to seeing them also seems like it would be interesting. I figure most computer moves, even weird ones, quickly make sense to you and you could explain them well to us plebs who are far too weak to understand them.
Damn this went under the radar
What is the name of the book on the Alapin?
I predicting moves danya is saying NOT to make lol.
please do a trompowsky master class
It's sad to see that slowly all the speedruns are becoming a feeding grounds for streamsnipers, cheaters, smurfs and sometimes all of these combined.
I don’t think that was a cheater tbh, the move was played too quick with stream delay and it was a pretty natural move anyways, adding more pressure
@@jonhurley6591 Probably not cheating, but definitely sniping. He's not playing like a 1600 and if you check his other games, he plays way more consistent to a 1600 than in this one. Danya may have class and say its better to give the benefit of the doubt, but he's an extremely popular streamer playing on a site rife with unethical players - it's way more likely something fishy is going on, than a random 1600 got to play a game of his life against a GM.
@@singami465 are there less cheaters on lichess? i’m 1300 on chess and i feel like very game or two i get absolutely blown off the board by some sus play…
@Cole M. It's probably not cheating. Cheaters don't bother to play at 1300, they shoot straight upwards.
It's not a question of site, but of means. It is extremely easy to cheat at online chess, no matter what fancy, not-entirely-ethical JavaScript you put on the site (like tracking the player's clicks). And the better you are at chess, the easier it is for you to cover up your cheating by not being totally blatant.
@@jonhurley6591 there is a reason Danya laid a trap and opened up the players archive (probably to check how often he had played the opening). He doesn’t do it every game. Can never say for sure but this game screamed streamsniping. Remember there are cuts in the video that takeaway the delay.
28:01 Even with the cut, that is very suspicious.
is king and 3 pawns vs king and 2 pawns always a win ?
Dam me a Greek guy seeing Daniel not being able recognise Greek flag
10:50 toothless queen? In other lecture you say that queen should be the supporting actress (following Yasser's quote)?
I thought Rd2 wasn't a good move because of e4 and I was right. Engine evaluation drops from +1.2 to +0.3 (you didn't analyse what would happen with e4 there in the video, only a move earlier or later). Slightly better than e4 even was Qd5 according to engine (which I'd never consider).
Anyway, reason that e4 works there is that it doesn't lose the pawn after Nb4 and only 1 pair of rooks is traded. White will end up up a pawn and a little better still, but would be hard to win imo.
27:08 this looked like a good spot for black to play e4, no? e4 fxe4, Qxe4 Qxe4, bxe4 and the knight is pinned. Loses an exchange? What should white play there instead?
Nb4, hitting the Queen with tempo, it’s a crucial response to e4, without it white would be worse. One way to gain a safe advantage is
e4
Nb4 Qd7
Rxd6 Qxd6
fxe4 Qe5
Qb6 or Re1, Re8
Take a6 on Qb6 or bring knight back to d3 where trading on e4 is a winning endgame for white
@@faznaz7455 ah Nb4 is a very nice move. Thank you for the thorough explanation I really appreciate it
I'm just discovering this channel, how are those guys communicating in real time during the game? What do I need to join to do that?
He is streaming on twitch brother
@@SovereigntyGW What's the handle?
@@SovereigntyGW I've found it,
which exact chessable course is he talking about?!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the alapin bible he’s referring to?
A little confused. U said not afraid to have an endgame with an isolated pwn( 20:15)However it is generally said that side with an isolated pwn shouldnt exchange pieces
He is up a pawn so doens't matter. Simplification
Which is the Alapin Bible?
I don't think he was really cheating in any way.
He had nothing to do with any other piece, all pawn moves would be very weakening and risky versus a clearly much better opponent and Qc4 attacks the a2 pawn, one of the most important things was to create counterplay and win back pawns to atleast draw. That was not suspicious, just a weird coincidence in my book. His profile looks consistent with the play we experienced. He completely ran into other ideas discussed on stream so I neither suspect sniping nor cheating. Danya is just incredibly strong at prognosing beginner and intermediate moves, he is called the prophet for a reason!
Is the Alapin an opening you only play in response to the Sicilian defense?
Yes
I am awaiting the analysis video for the grunfeld and why he casts it over the kid
47:16 It looks like your pictures were taken right after the game.
After Re4 .. e5 if bxc6 iwhite is doing grate
Anyone know the “Alapin Bible” resource he is mentioning?
Alexander Khalifman, Sergei Soloviov: Squeezing the Sicilian - Alapin Variation
@@maddom Thank you! Asked this a few things in this thread, but with no response until yours.
@@stewy0013 Sure, no problem!
I'm around 1500 myself and this opponent played a lot stronger than I can. Dude is underrated
He either got a good game or he's stream sniping. I'm leaning towards getting a good game because I prefer to assume innocence rather than guilt. I doubt very much that he was straight up cheating tho. At his rating I get solid games like that at times as well but usually I make many more mistakes in games like that. I probably would have crumbled in the opening here vs Danya, I have horrendous opening knowledge.
It’s my birthday again!
42:19 what if Be5 Qxe5 f6?
What is a kettle of fish
"black is quite deficient developmentally speaking." i know you didn't mean it like that but holy shit that made me laugh
14:19 blunder
At 57:36 you could have just played Qa7 followed by Nc5 and won a minor piece
Hey Daniel. Do you watch the NBA ?
9:41
More cowbell
Does anybody know what alapin book Danya uses?
Also here for this information
The complete c3 by sveshnekov
If Danya has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Danya has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Danya has only one fan then that is me. If Danya has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Danya, then I am against the world.
Can we get Italian game or ruy lopez from white side? I know they are theory heavy but we could focus on some specific lines only.
i just finished an old video because i was going through danya withdrawals
bruh I'm gonna have to learn the sicilian 😔
44:00
Could you do a video about “verified” books/“top ten” chess books you should own? Or maybe have a video specific to the books you own (my ten favorite chess books I own)? I want to buy books but I just don’t know if they are “good”/how to judge them
24:59 why can't he go Qc5? Sets up the night on that powerful square if he trades queens and threatens the bishop
The rook defends the square. And if you think Rxc5 Rxd8+, black would play Rxd1+ first.
The knight hangs. The rook can take.

Warriors? xD
Yes, it`s a NBA team.
