I just want to state, your efforts and kindness in area of chess teaching is over the top. May Jesus bless your entire family, Amen. Wonderful talent you have been blessed with. Thank you

The guys last game was against you

I simply cannot wait for the KI course! 🙌

Haha! Love this episode. Such honest and open brevity from Danya, whose instruction has helped me immensely.

I get the 4...Nf6 5...Bg4 idea you mention at the beginning of the game. But why not go with the natural 4...Nc6 and then 5.c3 Nf6 and 6...Bg4? Is there a wrench White can throw into this plan?

This opening is absolutely what I needed tonight 😂

It's not true Danya! You make it look so easy, but I kid you not; it's not. Ughh! This has always been the biggest chess trap I always fall for-thinking this thing is easy. This ish is hard!

Always glad to see trolls get crushed

Barry who?

What is your option for folks who just want to pay you? I can binge many videos, but when I hit that one video that really helps me, I want to reward you monetarily.

The fact that Danya plays regularly on lichess shows how pure and honorable he is.

When I was a kid, the coach running a local chess club was teaching everyone to play the scandi, and the line with e4 d5 exd5 Nf6 at that... :D

You make it look so easy! Haha. Thanks for the video. I learned a lot.

4:35 I don't understand why his pawn can't take Danya's knight?

is he drinking wine from the bottle 😂

yeah it's too fuzzy to watch

I remember not being able to keep up when i first found your videos but its cause of your videos that I'm able to finally see the bigger picture

Danya: *proceed to a top engine move * "hopefully we can get our opponent out of theory with this move"

"I have this book. I'm not going to look at it now, because obviously that would be cheating." Proceeds to look at the book's author comments in his chat during the game lol.

Danya you lose weight, whats your diet? Good on you. :)

Danya can you upload more videos on the endgame series. They are very interesting Thank you

It would be lovely to see your take on the games that Magnus did ❤

The thumbnail goes so hard

NGL, that sound every time somebody donates or subscribes is annoying as hell

15:10 we all wanted it :D

why isnt the french defense played at GM level

Brilliant video. Has anyone else got any recommendations for any good videos on you tube about positonal chess. I am trying to break 1500 elo lol

“That’s a weird move” = “I smell stockfish”

very informative thank you

Hey it's time to upload new one

chess students even years into the future, let alone the present will appreciate this effort. Best wishes, Daniel.

Never play F6.

E4, Nf6, Bc4, c3, d4. When threat to e4 pawn, d3. Than castle. Than Rook e1

I play the london and caro mostly, but I also play the catalan sometimes. I'm only 1200 and I know it's ideas are complex and there is a ton of theory in the catalan. But my opponents at 1200 don't know the ideas either, and just generally it's a super solid positional opening, it does well for me. I wish there was a good video course for it, I would buy it instantly.

I thought he pulled an eric rosen at bishop d7

I feel that it is going to be h5

1. e4 e5 "Okay, so he goes e5. Now a lot of people here would just lazily develop the knight to f3, but we actually have a move here that poses a lot of practical problems for black and is borderline winning for white. The move is Ke2, and do not worry I will explain this more thoroughly after the game. Now you might look at this position and say, "isn't this weakening our king and blocking in our pieces?" And while that may be true, you guys need to start thinking long term. In the endgame, it will be a huge advantage to have our king activated in the center. Furthermore, black has no threats here. he is not going to checkmate us any time soon, the king is perfectly well defended on e2. Now he does have a nasty little defensive resource he can try here, let's see if he finds it. Wow, Ke7 he finds it. Now guys, I don't wanna hear any baseless accusations, we will check with an engine after the game. It's not unthinkable that a 1500 finds this move and no, black has not equalized, we just need to play clinically to secure.

thanks for every lesson, appreciate it <3

re-learning chess again, thank you, appreciate it, Danya (спасибо братик)

In the last game, is there any drawback for c4, instead of c3?

1:00:14 but what if e4 here

Do you have a usual time when you play these games? I want to try my chance to play when you reach my rating.

Danya is my comfort channel, there's something so soothing about watching him calmly dissect an opponent knowing he'll win no matter what happens

Napoleon just kills the people he plays 💀

I freaking love the look of the pawn cube😂

Did the most recent episode get removed?

danya i improved my games by watching how you deal with each games. what i think most important in chess is controlling your temper and looking into the game with pure logic and analysis. my problem now is i calculate opponents best moves in my opinion and decide my move but opponent makes a better move or my calculation based on visualising goes slightly wrong in board afterwards thereby weakening my position. pls give some advice. i want to be like you danya

He was up to smth, probably on steroids 😂

I'm trying to relearn chess after playing seriously 35-40 years ago. I've watched a lot of these videos and they have opened my eyes to how chess can be played. I have a modest objective of learning some opening theory so that I'm not hopelessly lost after six moves! My starting point is that the French is a forced win for Black. I'm just trying to figure out why that is not the case. Thanks for all your videos.

Thanks
