The fact that Danya can see moves like Rf6 and calculate all the way out including multiple sacrifices including c4, all in a few seconds, is absolutely incredible. High level GMs can just process information at such lightning speed.

[@baetz2]

Yea, it is a pity when opponent blunders when they still have some game. Here though it was already over, so it's ok. By the way, game analysis shows 2 blunders by Danya and 3 by opponent.

Yeah, but this is only brilliant because it’s a sacrifice. It should be obvious to someone with a practiced tactical eye.

[@alekhinesgun9997]

@@bldjln3158 it’s not brilliant because it’s a sacrifice, it’s brilliant because it’s an only move, followed by another brilliant only move continuation, not exactly “obvious” as you say it is as I’m willing to bet the house you didn’t see c4.

@@alekhinesgun9997 I thought 'brilliant move' meant that the engine didn't see it as worthy of consideration until you played it and it beats the engine's previously evaluated best move?

[@gianidicoabdillah175]

Perfect way to illustrate the superGM and decent (yes, 1700s blitz is > 95percentile) chess players discrepancy. Smooth opening with black. Each of the opponent’s move has to be engine top 5 to even keep up. “Punishing” a 3am-speedrunning-Danya is finding a pawn-protected pawn capture or a disgusting Queen move back to first rank for no apparent reason. Then it’s all mental willpower drainage until a blunder where, if weren’t made, was about to be responded with a two-brilliant-moves sequence. Disgusting.

[@trallegas6589]

Qd1 makes no sense and I don't think anyone would find it but the discovery on the knight is a pretty basic tactic that most 1700s would see,he just didn't think for too long

[@johnnyb7271]

I agree with all you said, but Danya isn't a super GM.. He's a strong Gm, but super GMs are usually over 2700 fide, Danya is sitting on 2616 rn, peaking at 2650.. I don't mean to be corrective just for the sake of it here but I think that's an important distinction✌️

[@self-righteousideologue9398]

1700 blitz is 95th percentile? I wonder what 1800 is

[@johnnyb7271]

@Mr. Mr. I mean I do agree that online blitz Danya is "super Gm" level but he's not playing blitz in this vid and bringing online ratings into it is always sketch with its premoves etc, Andrew tang is super super gm in hyperbullet and bullet but that doesn't make him a Super Gm, you have to use that term lightly is all I'm saying.

[@Jimemy]

They are playing Rapid not Blitz. If I look at my chess account at 1694 Rapid it says 98,6% which is kinda funny.

[@zoiddbzyugi]

I love that Danya still finds positions fun and exciting, despite being a GM. Proof for all of us that there is always room to learn and grow.

[@yagizgencer7559]

Danya: plays his rook to a closed file Also Danya (2:46): Let's get this rook onto a semi-open file

[@bagdanedin2071]

wish many speedrun games were like this, Danya explains this crazy lines easily understandable

[@Marshall7593]

Wow. Thank you a ton for the dynamic game. It means a lot to me that you took the time to go over your "blunder" and explain your ideas, even if they were objectively incorrect or played in bad time. It helps me get insight into your thought process, and inspires me to go make some blunders of my own. Great game Danya!

[@tr1xstr1]

To calculate that beautiful sacrifice idea at the end In barely any time is just unreal, now that was an awesome idea definitely worth two brilliancies

[@jakeschneider312]

Unbelievable that Danya sees that line at the end with the blocked bishop coming alive so quickly, awesome stuff

[@baetz2]

Not only the bishop, but also the rook on a8, for which I didn't expect any way to play role in the game

[@guyj5030]

the line with the rook lift is absolutely amazing, its so cool that daniel can see such things so quickly, i am watching his videos for month now, so enjoyable !!

[@monke2871]

Sensei: See, the problem is that your bishop is biting on granite. Me, an intellectual: It's called a long term investment

[@janettewithlove3860]

Honestly the best speedrun game I've ever seen. So tactically rich

[@Cedric1234_]

This game is incredible, seriously quality content here. This video is full of so many interesting ideas. I’d love to show this to morphy or greco

[@KF1]

That was one of the best games of the series. Wild stuff, and nice mate. Btw have you ever seen "Just Have A Think"? He says every video "thanks to my Patreon supporters for allowing me to keep this channel ad-free" I have to watch on the computer with adblock because on mobile the ad-abuse is so bad that it breaks up the flow of the vid, which requires uninterrupted attention to follow this level of play. Alternatively, check out how Chess-Network does his ads. Only at the beginning and end, never interrupting himself with them. Respect for self and audience is much appreciated there. Point being, I could donate on Patreon, but have no assurance that I won't get blasted with ads after the fact when trying to watch on mobile, so it takes the incentive right out.

[@ElConquistadordeAmor]

What a tactically impressive game. The analysis of the rook lift at the end is so complex, I'm amazed if anyone would have been able to calculate that mid-game, especially during a 10-minute game.

[@Giannis-tw2yy]

Danya casually seeing an unbelievable line with one brilliant move and one great move whilst also seeing the best possible move for the opponent..

[@bobisbob66]

Maybe it's just me, but the last two games have taken everything up more than a notch. I've gone from following along, appreciating, and understanding; to enjoying, but seeing the battles as above my level. Nothing wrong with it, just surprised by the sudden shift. Good stuff though. Love the commentary.

[@SerLaama]

CC "brilliancies" mean absolutely nothing, and it's sad to see how many people are fooled by them.

[@mr.smitherine1913]

​@@SerLaamaI think a brilliancy is a best move that also requires a piece sacrifice, sometimes that's quite easy to see, sometimes it actually requires some brains

Some really cool ideas in this game. The rook sac to make way for the other rook. The "potential energy" of the dark square bishop coming alive at the very end after a pawn sac. The difference between Nd5 and Nxe4 because of the removal of the pawn anchor. This was an educational game

[@heruilin4404]

I'm still amazed at the Ng4,Nh6, f5 plan.

[@MainUkraine]

That engine analysis was fantastic now I know that pawn blunders can be good if they open up bishops and knight and rook sac ideas to open up the enemy King and files of attack with the rook.
