You have to be able to play faster than that. No clue what he was doing from like 6 to 3 minutes left on his clock. There were plenty of easy moves to play and he was in the tank every move
This. This is the reason GMs are so difficult to take down : you actually have to kill them twice or even thrice to get your win. They sail the ocean between "losing position" and "hopeless position" like it's their motherland until suddently they are actually drawing or even winning the game.
At the end of the match Danya says something to the effect, "There's too much to analyze here and I'm tired. I'll do an analysis tomorrow then post it. Then he starts talking about a move, next thing you know it's about 15 or so minutes later and he's done an in depth analysis.
Holy shit….let me tell you that this game did not at all feel like it was over 20 let alone 30 mins long. Like wow…….this video felt like a 15 min conversation when in actuality it was over an hour long. Thank you Danya for the content!!!
I think I remember watching this one on stream. Had a pretty huge deja vu seeing that potential Ne3 fork and when you said "GMs don't die, hard to take us down". Great game by Brad!
@@Quincycle its one of his subscriber and Brad is amazing supporter to chess channels. His name is thebrad iirc, you can also watch him challenge Chessbrah here on TH-cam, he has plenty of games there challenging GMs.
What a killer game! I really love the sportsmanship of Daniel when he was in big trouble early on. The love of the game and the positional ability of the other player was clearly stated. It''s a great example of the way to think of the game when you're being outplayed. Many of us get frustrated or angry. But there's no reason for that when the other player is actually playing wonderfully - respect it! keep trying to turn it around as Daniel did. Really great video!
This was a fascinating game to watch to see how a GM troubleshoots a difficult position. Also, I really enjoyed even tho he wanted to win, Daniel was rooting for Brad right up til the end
Not every day do you see the man who taught you the Scotch Gambit show up on your youtube feed battling against a GM and somehow get a winning middle game. Was rooting hard for my buddy to convert his advantage here, but still pretty sweet to see my two chess Sensei's face off. Great content as always, Danya.
@@michaelf8221 he doesn't have an active rating and hasn't played much OTB in the last 15 years, I would guess ~2100, but with some dedicated study of modern opening theory and endgames he could push for 2300 maybe? Last tournament he played he had a 2400 performance rating.

@@andrerodrigues2877 Hopefully we dont. Whats the interest in seeing a cheater win? Computers play very different from actual players and its not instructional to watch their games most of the time.
Completely exceptional game. Thanks Danya, your content is so consistently beautiful and educational. I love going to bed and on an off chance seeing notifications for these videos. It lights up my night.
At 21:04 when he talked about how he wanted to play Nb4, I immediately saw some really dank lines for white where white sacrifices the exchange on e7 temporarily with check to win the b4 knight, if d2 is pushed maybe even sacrifice the knight, c2 is weak and b7-bishop is hanging but untouchable due to backrank issues, so white may go h3, c2 is untouchable because b7-bishop is hanging….so on, absolutely fascinating positions filled with tactics, what a great game.
This one was the hardest one for me to follow that I’ve ever seen. I mean, I understand the words but still have a rough time wrapping my head around how weird it got so fast. Really appreciate the extra time breaking it down that GM Danya put in even though he was super tired!🙏
One thing I learned from Daniel is that sometimes there is no move. I used to do a move then even if it could backfire just to open an attack, but sometimes it’s better to wait or even accept a draw
Potential video idea? Speeding up calculation. My visualization is good enough to spot most of the variations you mention, but it required me to pause the video and really actively think it through. I'm sure this gets better with experience, but are there any specific ways to train it? Not necessarily deep calculations like in puzzles, but scattered shallow lines more suited for blitz and rapid play. Also what a beautiful game. Incredibly motivating and insightful
Kinda brings to mind Ben Finegold's "Never play f6". Congrats to Brad for an incredible game, and congrats to Daniel for finding a way to win in a lost position.
@@angosalvo5734 I am sorry I ruined your chess experience watching this video. However I do recommend in the future when you watch chess video's that you don't read the comments first. Again I apologize.
@@fretmajik777 no worries. it's fine. I was just teasing you :) we're used to see danya winning but this time, when he felt outplayed it was exciting and different.
Very nice and entertaing game, I'm pretty sure I would personally would have tried to hang on to the c7 pawn personally. Going from a horrible unplesant position to wining positon, love it.
WP ! Brad. Deep dark dive into the 2Knights defense super interesting. Amazing game alright. I try to avoid this opening like the covid lol. In blitz and bullet I like to play f5 after Bc4 close my eyes and hope for the best. Makes exciting game. I'm often worse of course just how I like it. I like to explore dubious uncharted territory in blitz and bullet. g3 ! boom was a sexy move and those 2 black bishops wow !!. Its even more cool when you get 2 black bishops winning over the board, almost magical and can easy stand out above other games at the chess club. Don't forget GM Boris Alterman's advice , make sure your well prepared if your going to enter the dark waters of the two knights defense. WP! Danya. thanks that was fascinating. You don't get positions like that from the Caro-Kann, do you ? hahaha .THANKS
Thanks Danya, nice game and analysis! In case you will record an additional video about this endgame, could you consider the move 35.g4 (alternative to 35.b4) with the idea to open up a king-side and activate the rook via the h-file?
Can someone who understands chess explain how bishop e3 at 28:43 helps to make a path for the king? white wouldnt trade bishops because of the fork on e3 and would weaken their position putting the rook on c1
Brad first had that knight and pawn deep in Danya's throat in the opening only to be paid with interest in the endgame, that knight basically nullified his advantage.
This is why I play the Scotch gambit, even the main line gives problems to the black pieces and at that elo (I'm 1650) they hardly see the main line so I always end up with a better position.. I bet it's the only opening that allows a casual player to reach a decent endgame against a GM, like the ~1350 guy that just lost 1 pawn
The main response to the Danish Gambit (3...d5 and so on) also leads to an equal endgame. They're similar in many ways and I know there are some transpositions between the Scotch Gambit and a declined Danish. It seems to be common in e4-e5 games where Black can decline a gambit, or return a pawn in the opening, by playing d5.
33:36 Huh? If there's a false start, Brady doesn't get a free play. Now, if there's delayed offsides on the defense .... -0.44 Oh, dead lost. dude, I'm -8.38 and it can go either way. lol.
Let me just point one technicality out here on the accuracy issue, if you olay a game where most moves are obvious or trAdes, aka a lot of the lives are taking back material in non complicated situations then those moves are almost always the best move, just think about how that makes a hige difference in accuracy between tricky games with a lot of preemptive maneuvering vs simple games with 1 or 2 tactics and a bunch of trades. just worth considering when comparing the accuracy of different levels of play. blunders are always blunders ofc if they are simple enough to exploit but there is a huge difference between longer complicated games and simpler ones
You meant to say off sides for the free play. False start is an offensive penalty and the whistle blows immediately. Love your videos tho. I’ve seen you give props to Finegold more than once with never play f6 lol.
Learned a great lesson here! Didnt understand why the outposted knight on c2 was so strong at first because it wasn’t threatening anything and white’s king was safe. But it essentially put the rook in jail for the endgame. GG

This.

Well phrased
"They sail the ocean between "losing position" and "hopeless position" like it's their motherland" 👀
You need to beat them in the opening, in the midgame and in the endgame.
That is accurate, profound and poetic.

Hi naroditsky,
I was wondering if you could put a link to the game in the description, it would make it a lot easier to analyse the game afterwards.
i am all to familiar with unfortunate lines, at my 1500 level i run into them often down a few moves
Once I reached +1300, I don't play e5 anymore, I changed to sicilian and now I'm +1600 struggling with the the sicilian haha
Learned a great lesson here! Didnt understand why the outposted knight on c2 was so strong at first because it wasn’t threatening anything and white’s king was safe. But it essentially put the rook in jail for the endgame. GG
I wonder what his handle means? Is that a reference to football or soccer? They also use ballz in those sports 😜
I came because the title says AMAZING GAME
At 30:36 why not Ne3+ winning the rook
