    A lot of respect for how Danya reminds chat we were all new once. So many GMs make "stomp" videos where they show off that they can easily beat people who are new at the game that they have been playing all of their life. It doesn't impress me. Danya impressed me here.

      It gets better when Dani reaches a point where opponents don't blunder that easily like 1300+. World Ches Champion Max Euwe once released a chess book "Meister gegen Amateur" (Master vs Amateur) that was very popular in some Chess club lesson.

      I have to keep rewatching a lot of his older content because truthfully, even his 1400 elo games he has knowledge and plays in some ways I already cannot fully follow. This tidbits of low elo content where he goes back more to the basics are a lifesaver.

  • @zackeryr97

    as a complete beginner to chess, i love how respectful and compassionate you are for the opponent in these lower-ranked games. not only do you take their positions seriously (as any chess player should), but you also make each mistake the opponent makes as a learning opportunity for everybody to get better. it really helps me improve, but it also teaches me that making mistakes is okay and highly informative for everyone involved. you’re doing great work danya!

    Hi Daniel! At 17:46 you mention that it sounds very pedantic on what to do when you are up that much material. I just wanted to say that this is something that is greatly valuable to me. I've watched all of your videos on your speedruns, but don't play a lot of chess. Somehow I frequently get into a scenario where I am up a bunch of material, but have no clue how to finish the game. This causes me to panic and make blunders. So, please do keep on giving that excellent advice to the very end!

    I stayed away from the Four Knights because everyone told me it was drawish. I wanted to play gambits and have fun. What they didn't tell you was how many times your opponent will blunder because they are trying to attack, and at the lower levels, their attacks lack any type of set-up. This is why I told my son to learn this opening : you get your pieces out , castle the King, wait for your opponent to blunder a piece, trade down to a material advantage, the worst you can do is draw. And don't blunder back. I may try it myself.

      @unh0lys0da16 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There's a huge difference between the standard four knights and the four knights scotch. In the 4KScotch you play e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Nc3 Nf6 d4, this last move d4 immediately opens up the center making the position a lot sharper. In the normal four knights you play something like Bc4 instead of d4 and you get some semi closed e4 e5 position which can be quite drawish especially if black plays symmetrical

  • @tennisCharlzz
    @tennisCharlzz ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hope you do a 900 ELO version of the Vienna as you said you might do. I think lower rated games help beginners think about what they do in a different way. Most beginners start looking to attack and treat taking a pawn as equivalent to taking a rook even if they give up a bishop to accomplish it. Beginners fail to defend. They use the queen too aggressively. Learning a mentality of how to approach a game and correcting wrong ideas is very helpful.

    on 5:36 you dropped the knight back but their is tatic with knight takes pawn after knight takes back you play queen e2 pinning the knight to the king and push d3 because you don't want to create a weakness on king side.

    • @EndlessFootball
      @EndlessFootball หลายเดือนก่อน

      This doesn’t work at all. Black doesn’t have to take back with the knight. Instead Qxd4 (the hanging knight) and then if you try Nxf6+, black recaptures with the queen and you just lose piece.

    You have played many gambits in these speedruns, like Queen's Gambit, Smith Mora, Danish, etc. Please do a gambit-only speedrun, with both black and white. It will be awesome. ❤️
