I think you Daniel are the most ”principled” grandmaster out there, it makes it very easy to understand high level chess. I am now using your videos to hopefully go from 1850 - 2000 as quickly as possible. Thanks for being the best :)
the black queen was so far in the enemy territory, that she was completely unaware and powerless to prevent the black king from being trampled by the white knight and queen. chess is brutal
@@growwithsomangshu1463 For me, 2000 Lichess was mostly a question of long time controls (15+10 minimum; 30+30 with practice partners is great), analysis in a study without the engine, and a whole boatload of puzzles from books.

Dan, would you please play a few London system games with white during your next Speedrun series or against subs? You're fantastic and instructional, much appreciated!!
It's a bit too slow. C1 check is advantageous for white in this position since the queen gets trapped for the rest of the game. Even though it's winning still keeping black's queen active allows counterplay. Why not get checked a couple times and put his queen in jail instead?
Bro this game was too difficult for me 😂 not that I couldn't follow the moves with his explanation.. but that I would be too scared to go into these risky lines like him cause I'd definitely mess up
May I inquire. Why do chess players always refer to a lost Rook as "full" but hardly ever refer to a lost bishop as a full bishop or a pawn as a full pawn. Bearing is mind that in chess, you can't lose half a rook 😛
It's because you can lose an exchange, and then you've not lost "a full rook". They also say when they are down a minor piece for, say, a pawn or 2 pawns. So, in that case, they've not lost a full piece.
Well, to be honest, you would still say a full rook if the compensation were 1 or 2 or 3 pawns if they are not a huge and dangerous majority or protected passed pawns. I feel like a full rook is to mean you didn't lose a knight or a bishop for it (you would yes say quality then), while if there's no material compensation, you would say a "clean" rook, just as you'd say a clean knight (maybe it's called a "clear" piece and not a "clean" one, not so sure, I struggle with english) ; in french you'd say une "pièce nette" = a "clean piece". Luv u
Even as a 663 I’m running into people playing the Modern. They don’t really understand at all how to play it though, as normal development always throws them off.
@@rosebud3373 fair enough. I would love to see Danya break down his thinking on Fischer chess the way he does so uniquely well at normal chess. He's one of a kind.
It's actually kinda nuts how he casually crushes 2100s while spending the vast majority of his clock teaching us how to play.
That’s because 2100s are monkeys who remember a few opening systems and don’t blunder as much.

You can play positionally when things are quiet, but when your opponent makes a tactical mistake, you should always take advantage.

The way you break everything down makes every move seem like a no brainier. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to play like that

That Queen triangulation shown by the computer at the end to force mate after Ke8 is beautiful.

I hope you some how continue doing speed runs. It is both amusing and educating.
One of the most clean games I have seen on speedruns. Smooth
Some player works and works to get to 2000 only for Danya to crush him without breaking a sweat. This is art!

Thanks, I have literally learnt a lot from you sir🙏
I can't watch these videos fast enough. Thank you Danya!!!
Such a brilliant player and teacher.
Really excellent explanations.
Danya's teaching makes me feel like I could beat a 2100 although I'm no where close to that.
At 17:09 wouldn't giving a check with Qf7 allow you to trade queens with Bxc7 and also take away castling rights?
Thanks for the lessons Daniel
Great video! Thank you so much!

Exf6 is gangster as hell
"Lets play positionally" then proceeds to destroy the opponent with harcore tactics. =D
That line blew my mind lol
Finished watching and went to play just to get the exact same position in that g6 f6 match. Opponent resigned after Qd6 Nxe4 Nc7+.
Daniel, please keep going with this series until 2500. Guys please like this comment so that he plays even stronger opponents if you agree.
Just casually offers 2 bishops and a rook like they're basic fundamental moves.
4:40 why didn't black take the queen here?
Can someone explain why the pawn at E6 did not take queen at D5 ? @4:45
Because the white bishop that black chose to take instead would have taken black's queen, resulting in a queen trade (no advantage).
