Hey folks, I'd like to address several comments that pointed out my use of the engine to analyze the opening from the second game while it was still ongoing, around the 25:00 mark. First, and most importantly, having an engine running during a game is against the rules, end of story. It was wrong and I unreservedly apologize to my opponent and to any viewers who felt uncomfortable during that segment. After capturing my opponent's queen, I fully expected resignation any moment and got impatient. It goes without saying that one's status or title should never put them above justified criticism. I am sorry and it will not happen again. However, I'd like to strongly request that you take the context into account and treat it charitably. The speedrun series is educational in nature, and as such, my priority at every moment is to maximize the instructive value of each second. I was up a full queen and minor piece, and was looking at the opening (i.e. the unrelated position after a few moves) in the hopes of shortening the post-game analysis. In the moment, I thought it obvious that in the context of the series it would not be interpreted by anyone as deliberate cheating. I think that anyone with a modicum of discernment can see that I had zero intention of "normalizing cheating" by suggesting that using an engine during a competitive game is in any way acceptable. It is not. And anyone who has watched even a tiny percent of my YT or stream content can agree, I hope, that I have consistently advocated for fair play in chess, and have tried to foster a community that prizes honesty and integrity as we all strive to become better at chess. My priority is, and always will remain, to put out educational content that helps people improve at chess. I try to lead by example, but I am not perfect. Thank you for taking this into consideration, and my deepest gratitude to y'all for your support, kind words, and stories of success. I am honored and grateful to play a part in your chess journey.
Come on Danya! It's not about a part of just one game, you're 'always' cheating! I mean you've got a sharp mind running in the background in each and every game :) And you have one of, if not the most educational YT channel on chess. Thank you for your efforts and your positive attitude. Keep up the great work!
Yeah, along the same sentiment as the above comment, he basically is an engine at this level 😂 he doesn’t need an engine to win. I don’t see why anyone would bring out criticism of using one (since the game was already won) as again this is educational content
when u did it I didn’t really care, the game was over anyway, and u were only looking at the opening which was like 20 moves before the position u were in. Idk why some people are making such a big deal
Thank you for taking the time to say all that. People really don't understand that when you're a professional you can indeed multi task and the wrong conclusions are drawn.
He's a real treat for us chess noobs. Long streams, a bottomless pit of experience and of all the supergm's he's in his own league as a teacher by a country mile.
should make more videos with the main tactic as part of the title! its very helpful to have a tactic used by you, or used on you, & to learn look it up after to get a breakdown on how to use it and defend from it
Awesome episode, theme of knights getting trapped out of the opening will stick with me I think. Thanks for the best educational chess content, as always-
Даня, ты - красавчик! Мы используем движок и это хорошо! Не нормально использовать движок для конкретной текущей игровой позиции - это и есть читерство(подсказка для текущей позиции). Но ты НЕ использовал движок в этой ситуации, по сути ты использовал движок ПОСЛЕ партии(или после того как позиция потеряла актуальность и это не могло быть подсказкой). Поэтому главная мысль - тебе НЕ В ЧЕМ извиняться, потому что в данной ситуации НЕТ АБСОЛЮТНО НИ ГРАММА ВИНЫ! Можно притянуть за уши что типа игрок может плохо подумать и было бы хорошо поберечь его чувства. Но как мы видим на примере Владимира Борисовича - он похоже вообще не считался с чувствами людей последние года полтора. Т.е. это на наше доброе усмотрение. Но это точно не вина имхо. Успехов!
The pawn structure from game 3 is also studied more generally in Chess Structures by Mauricio Flores Rios in the Open Sicilian Family - Najdorf Type 2 Chapter 9. Great book.
I was driving the school bus when the alert from Danya's channel came on. So my only option was to stop immediately and we didn't move on until I had watched the episode to the end. The kids did understood me fully☺️
@@robdubent Every time I watch one of these videos I am baffled that they are available for free. I’ve never spent any money on lessons. My elo gain is directly proportional to the amount of Danya I watch. He’s an unbelievable teacher who makes complex ideas seem elementary. He’s making my elo skyrocket.
Thanks Danya, I play the open Sicilian so I'm hoping to see you play that in the speed run one day! I also play the najdorf and this speedrun is very helpful with that
Love your videos and after analysis honestly so instructive. I have literally got into similar positions to you and remember what you recommended and it often leads to me winning the game. Such a great series and your teaching style especially showing other gm games is so valuable. I’ve tried reading some chess books but I think a lot of them are too advanced to be of any use to me at my level your videos are much more accessible for me.
I wouldn’t resign if I was losing Game 2. at least if I was at that ELO. People still blunder pieces at that level , so there is always a chance of a comeback- unless you’re playing an undercover GM , of course
Learn the basics with lichess database and his older videos (Danya played a ton of games in KID in previous speedruns) then buy the course to get deeper knowledge.
One of the hardest things about chess improvement is understanding what small improvements are possible, even if they don't immediately lead to victory, or even correct answers for the Socratic moments. I've gone from clueless, to most popular wrong answer, to nearly getting the Example 3 combination -- I fell victim to queen disease and didn't consider the queen exchange line. All ways of being wrong, but this is a distant spot from where I was before I started assiduously watched Danya's videos. Showing example games not only helps nail down the idea, but act as signposts for where one might be in their chess development. There is no shame in making the same mistake a titled player had made in the past (or in my case, Danya when he was like 9)
Hey man I learned to play chess about 8 months ago. Since then I've met 2 guys that have been heavily involved in coaching me and helping me get better. Our relationship is completely online. Anyway they both told me you are their favorite player. I looked you up and couldn't believe you live in Charlotte. I live in hickory about 40 min away. Do you ever visit any local chess clubs or meet fans? Anything like that? Thank you for being a part of our chess journey 😊
I was looking at it because of all the attention. Check those timestamps: 46:50 , 56:20 , you can see in the reflection that he have the same window popping up as at 25:00 . Which is quite… interesting
@@cjh-bk4pn to quote the man himself: "my priority at every moment is to maximize the instructive value of each second". not cheating! nothing to see here, folks! it's not against the spirit of the game, since it's not for money! He's just "maximizing the instructrive value" ;)
In these videos he’s already cheating. Playing people below his rating, AKA smurfing. The people’s ratings are refunded. He does this for educational purposes. He could use the engine the whole time, but that would be worse educational content. It wouldn’t be any less ethical
@@waltsemrau4260 yes I guess it’s ok because it’s purely for educational purposes. I wonder if the opponents mind or even know what is happening though.
This is why I'm learning theory and not traps. Trap people get stuck at certain levels cause it's all they know and honestly it's annoying. Also, we don't resign at lower levels because a lot of us can't checkmate right. So be patient Daniel, we need the practice fighting off mate and learning how to do it properly

Im so happy now i know how to deal with unsound fishing pole traps. I always take because i never think it works but always get mated and i never find the correct defensive set up
He didn't have to find it actually cause danya pointed out this very moment 3 months ago in the top comment , it's also pathetic how kramnik mentioned this accusation and completely ignored Danny's clarification which was already 3 months ago.

There is a pinned explanation under the video. He apologized for the use of the engine during the game but it's clear that it was not done to gain an unfair advantage against the opponent. Take a moment to read the response instead of stirring up old issues.
@@user-ee1lo1il3f Do you think he was confused on how to win that position and just HAD to turn on the engine? You are acting in so bad faith. You know, he wasn't doing it to cheat, but only doing it to get started on the analysis. Stupid of him to turn it on before resignation, but you can't seriously mean he was cheating here
Another fun pawn push/sacrfice - in advance caro if Black plays Bg4 but doesn't play e6 for whatever reason, pushing e6 is very interesting and strong, provided they have to take with a pawn not their bishop.
Hey danya I know you're playing the alopin this speedrun but I would love to see some grand prix games. You always say how dangerous it is I would love to see you break it down.
Lets us put the controvery to side of the engine and ask more engine relate question: How do you find related positions/games so quickly and easily. Like example of the fishing pole trap. Request to please suggest software/tips and tricks used for same.
Why do you keep wishing opponents would resign? XD Don't you know one of GM chessbrah's rules is never resign? People are just following the rules, and you're the one playing 1100's Love your content. Please keep making cool stuff like this
I agree he should've waited, but it can't really hurt to look at how the engine thinks you should've played 10 moves ago. Besides that the opponent was down a queen and knight and decided that that was the moment to start thinking and take their time for it. Any gm in that situation will just be extremely bored, so because of that he probably just started prepping his analysis. I agree with you, its probably against the rules, but a completely different position where the ideas do not translate to the current position does not yield any unfair advantage
16:39 Has anyone noticed that this kind of setup (kind of like the hippo, varying the pieces put on e2/d2) is often played by people from middle eastern countries?
I noticed it's played by new players and what's funny is that "very solid" system crumbles much faster than stuff like Caro-Kann, Colle, London or other solid openings. Mainly because people just play the same moves all the time and run out of ideas in middlegame.
@@musical_lolu4811 I don't mean anything bad by it, I mean maybe there is a general school of thought when it comes to playing chess that is often shared by similar cultures.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400I wouldn't call those sorts of systems solid myself even. It's passive which will often just lead to you getting attacked and having to find ways to defend. Not very solid in that sense.
Its so dumb of all these people yapping about danya using an engine to analyze the opening, right after his opponent blundered his queen for free, while playing against not even a 1200. Its so freaking sad that danya who is having good intentions of providing educational chess content for free, gets mentally pressured by these slugs. Like idk these people who watch chess and say such stupid things surprisingly are not good at logic lol
Can’t even provide the best chess content without trolls finding something to cry about. Thank you sensei. You do not owe anyone a response. We’re living in dark times

I have followed danya for almost 3 years here and on twitch and i can bet my life on the fact that he didn't cheat , what kramnik did was basically fishing in the troubled water , he is taking advantage of unclear situation for his own personal gain, he didn't even bother himself to mention Danny's words in his video, Highlighting one side of the situation while completely ignoring the other side response is an unethical act. Many of you don't know how educational this channel especially this series, you will take a very long time finding a better teacher with such dedication and pure love of chess , these educational series helped me get second in my university tournament and got me from 1600 to 2100 in 6 months. With all respect to kramnik's career but he will never achieve half of what Danny did helping the chess world get better.
@@Madinko12 nah i didn't say that , yes i said he taught me chess but i also said that i watched and followed him for 3 years and i know for the fact that he didn't cheat that's why i don't think he cheated not because he taught me anything.
I dont understand how sometimes Danya spends 2 minutes calculating a way to disarm a weak attack from a 1200 player but then blow 3000s off the board in 30 second bullet. I mean this with the utmost respect, just interesting to me.
He is trying to teach being precise. His moves in bullet aren’t always precise, but they are good moves. I don’t think it’s hard to understand this concept.
@@mandotherapper2586 this is why I was so excited when he started this as a blitz speed run. Hearing how he quickly evaluates moves and positions would be super helpful

He's a real treat for us chess noobs. Long streams, a bottomless pit of experience and of all the supergm's he's in his own league as a teacher by a country mile.
It's only 1hr 11mins? He must be playing bullet
I feel naroditsky has a self critical tendency which makes him very humble but starts his video on a bit of a bummer
@@bobfrancis1673 Yeah, his streams when he's just grinding blitz/bullet are also fun and surprisingly educational.
"Alright, let's start with e4, and our opponent has responded with e5, and this might sound crazy, but our opponent is already borderline lost"
But it was Sicilian so probably responded with c5. Sicilian is already a borderline sharp opening.
@@TymexComputing He's just joking because Danya is often saying how the opponent is in big trouble after making an inaccuracy
The choking execution in the first game was brutal. Clinical
30:16 "I first learned about the fishing pole trap pretty late in my career... I was playing the world youth under 10..." 😭
that made me laugh 😂
That's was wide😂
Very instructive second game! That fisherman hooked something a bit bigger than they could handle...

Lets us put the controvery to side of the engine and ask more engine relate question: How do you find related positions/games so quickly and easily. Like example of the fishing pole trap.
Request to please suggest software/tips and tricks used for same.
He has them all in his head.
@@musical_lolu4811 seems so 🙌
25:52 You can see his program on window reflection iin the background! THATS crazy!
what does it say?
Ya chessbase program is there
Anyone know which video in the series where he goes through the 4 criteria's for the Greek gift sacrifice?
Anish Giri is actually giving the early Be6 in the Najdorf line as his recommendation
Why do you keep wishing opponents would resign? XD
Don't you know one of GM chessbrah's rules is never resign? People are just following the rules, and you're the one playing 1100's
Love your content. Please keep making cool stuff like this
two episodes in 7 days !!!!!
25:50 Who's this Clyde guy? He could possibly clear up all this misunderstanding in a few minutes...
Opponent plays Ng5:
Danya: I think I know what my opponent is trying to do. Brilliant!
25:30 why does danya have an engine line open? That seems like unfair play right? The game was still going
He says immediately following that he’s looking at the beginning of the game
@@nbgarrett88 ik i heard but isnt it poor practice to look at the engine reading while still playing, even if the game is nearing s close
I agree he should've waited, but it can't really hurt to look at how the engine thinks you should've played 10 moves ago. Besides that the opponent was down a queen and knight and decided that that was the moment to start thinking and take their time for it. Any gm in that situation will just be extremely bored, so because of that he probably just started prepping his analysis.
I agree with you, its probably against the rules, but a completely different position where the ideas do not translate to the current position does not yield any unfair advantage
I think the game was so over it doesn’t matter, but I can understand that its not being the best sport/respecting the opponent
I agree. Having an engine open is a clear violation of the rules.
16:39 Has anyone noticed that this kind of setup (kind of like the hippo, varying the pieces put on e2/d2) is often played by people from middle eastern countries?
I don't care. Chess is chess.
I noticed it's played by new players and what's funny is that "very solid" system crumbles much faster than stuff like Caro-Kann, Colle, London or other solid openings. Mainly because people just play the same moves all the time and run out of ideas in middlegame.
@@musical_lolu4811 I don't mean anything bad by it, I mean maybe there is a general school of thought when it comes to playing chess that is often shared by similar cultures.
@@mariuszpudzianowski8400I wouldn't call those sorts of systems solid myself even. It's passive which will often just lead to you getting attacked and having to find ways to defend. Not very solid in that sense.
@@hayhorca915 Yeah that's why I put that in quotations
+1 for the goat
Its so dumb of all these people yapping about danya using an engine to analyze the opening, right after his opponent blundered his queen for free, while playing against not even a 1200.
Its so freaking sad that danya who is having good intentions of providing educational chess content for free, gets mentally pressured by these slugs.
Like idk these people who watch chess and say such stupid things surprisingly are not good at logic lol
"welcome to those watching on youtube" ... is this also being streamed somewhere else?
Yes he streams on twitch and if you watch you can catch a Speedrun game at the end of stream.

😂
24:40 😂 i was thinking about defening the 7th rank with queen,and suddenly Sensei capture the queen 👑
how did the game last 8 minutes and danny yap for an hour
Can you make a video in Russian? I'm learning Russian and would be cool to study with a episode of the Speedrun. Thank you
Can’t even provide the best chess content without trolls finding something to cry about. Thank you sensei. You do not owe anyone a response. We’re living in dark times
You are here for 25:04
I have to admit... I'm feeling rather weird right now.
I was looking at it because of all the attention. Check those timestamps: 46:50 , 56:20 , you can see in the reflection that he have the same window popping up as at 25:00 . Which is quite… interesting
What is DYI?
So if you watch at 2x speed you may not see why opponent's queen disappeared at 24:40 cause Dnaro's knight is that fast
that h6 move from the 1700 player mouse slip meant to play h5 and save the knight.
Danya missed the underpromotion in game 3. As we all know, if you can underpromote and win, you do it.
I have followed danya for almost 3 years here and on twitch and i can bet my life on the fact that he didn't cheat , what kramnik did was basically fishing in the troubled water , he is taking advantage of unclear situation for his own personal gain, he didn't even bother himself to mention Danny's words in his video, Highlighting one side of the situation while completely ignoring the other side response is an unethical act.
Many of you don't know how educational this channel especially this series, you will take a very long time finding a better teacher with such dedication and pure love of chess , these educational series helped me get second in my university tournament and got me from 1600 to 2100 in 6 months.
With all respect to kramnik's career but he will never achieve half of what Danny did helping the chess world get better.
So yeah, he definitely can't be cheating because he taught you chess 🤦♂️. It's clear he cheated during the second game BTW.
I too believe that Danya did not cheat but your life must be cheap if you'd bet it on such matters.
@@anandhrajan99 it's called figurative speech
@@Madinko12 nah i didn't say that , yes i said he taught me chess but i also said that i watched and followed him for 3 years and i know for the fact that he didn't cheat that's why i don't think he cheated not because he taught me anything.
"after our opponent resigns"
>opponent immediately resigns
I dont understand how sometimes Danya spends 2 minutes calculating a way to disarm a weak attack from a 1200 player but then blow 3000s off the board in 30 second bullet. I mean this with the utmost respect, just interesting to me.
Because he’s playing the position, not the opponent.
He is trying to teach being precise. His moves in bullet aren’t always precise, but they are good moves. I don’t think it’s hard to understand this concept.
Because 30 seconds is not the same as 5 minutes.
@@mandotherapper2586 this is why I was so excited when he started this as a blitz speed run. Hearing how he quickly evaluates moves and positions would be super helpful
