It’s such a privilege to listen to a GM break down his game in a top tournament like this. It adds so much insight to an otherwise lengthy and confusing game. Thank you!

[@RaptorsReport]

Danya combines the high level understanding of chess positions only a GM could possess with an methodical, systematic way of explaining things that makes that thinking very easy to understand. Every time a video of his appears in my feed I watch it.

[@lp4969]

I'm so grateful a gm this strong is so articulate and such a great teacher

[@suckonthebigtoe279]

Gimbel

[@brianjohnston7466]

Very much agree.

[@self-righteousideologue9398]

Freedom isn't free. No, there's a heavy fookin fee

[@christiangrab4278]

it is so mesmerizing watching you breakdown that super complicated midgame

[@chappo8100]

the only mistake i found that requires an extreme depth he prob doesnt have access to is not playing the evans gambit

[@LureThosePixels]

2:24 Danya showing his bullet mouse skills dragging that king back and then grabbing the bishop quickly and smoothly

[@the_bottomfragger]

This is incredibly interesting. Also, it's one of the most fascinant things in Chess to me how much accuracy and creativity is required to keep an advantage you have gained. Despite having being better for most of the game (as far as I understood), you could've easily lost in so many positions. Massive respect!

[@RG001100]

7:02 "for some reason I didn't really consider the concept of playing slowly, I wanted to strike immediately" Ha.

[@JonathanS344]

Insightful and instructive recap as always Danya, Thank you!

[@DW11111]

Am absolutely in awe at your presentation style. I am amazed how you take what see to be a confusing position and at the end of your explanation i see how your decisions make total sense. This is why I subscribe.

[@aleksanovakovic8713]

Love this type of content, keep it up please! Thank you for everything Danya, you're a legend.

[@trauthor9281]

Thanks Daniel, great quality content for aspiring chess players.

[@SEAKPhotog]

Love these analyses of your games. Thanks!

[@drewmiddleton9715]

Love these videos. Thanks so much for sharing this analysis with us. Happy you had such a great tournament!

[@maxgolub558]

Daniel, you are by far the best chess teacher on KZbin. Keep it up because I love watching your videos

[@cbrowne1283]

Your way of thinking, and how it has manifested itself through chess - it's a joy to witness. You're a good man.

[@BaldBookTuber]

Found your channel recently. I really enjoyed your commentary during the SCC, and it is so instructive seeing you break down your plans and move choices both strategically and tactically.

[@danielking1530]

Great game, Danya. Thanks for the analysis! Lots of key moments. Taking on d5 to bring the knight around to e3 was very interesting, then the evolution of plans for both white + black were really cool to hear you go over.

[@ryandisher2774]

Great game! Love the content as always!

[@therealmorty7158]

Great Game! Thanks for taking us through it!

[@Not3xactly]

Great win, great analysis and breakdown.

[@all-father5254]

I’m always amazed by seeing these matches, GG Daniel

[@bluemerlin271]

Thanks for the modern colle rundown. I had positions like what you showed as white but the ideas you shared are just wicked. Great insight and well presented! Learnt a lot!

[@vishnudev4324]

Very nicely explained thank you daniya

[@ElijahStormblessed]

I play the Colle System, so this breakdown is super valuable to me! Thank you!

[@amaarquadri]

Great game. If I was left looking at the PGN, I don't think I'd understand past move one! But you made it very logical.

[@juanzambrano220]

Fantastic analisis sensei!

[@krishnansuresh9206]

Truly amazing game. You have so much patience to explain your thoughts to us lesser mortals.

[@slowslav6653]

This is such a great analysis

[@abhijeetgore310]

Ur one of my favorite GM's in the world🙂

[@yaiirable]

Congrats on another huge win!

[@nickschneider4830]

I’ve been rewatching old vids while Danya is away commentating just to keep the algorithm in his favor

[@james-yh3pb]

Awesome video as always! Love this!

[@gary.oneill]

Interesting game, nice breakdown, thanks!

[@valentinoladogana4968]

Dude I want to sleep stop making this brilliant content

[@basitkazi67]

Can't believe we have this privilege to watch this content for free. Will support you Danya!

[@EagleNestFarm]

Danya - are you planning to review the world championship games? It would be awesome to hear a GM's take on what went down. Cheers!

[@hamarthomas48]

Fantastic explanation

[@GMBethHarmon]

People who aren't watching this because it's not a speedrun game are missing out. The ideas in this are complex but valuable. If you force yourself to try and understand games like this, you'll get more out of than than speedrun games you find easier to follow.

[@solomontruthlover5308]

9:30 what a creative idea damn

[@davidf9222]

Warriors came to Detroit. Was bummed steph didnt play on Friday, wanted to see him and Cunningham go at it.

[@indrapolak5042]

Fantastic analysis. Thank you! I wonder why he played Ba6 when c4 is natural and strong. Choosing between f5 plan or g4-g5 looks difficult; when that diagonal to g2 is opened up you want that pawn back on g2. I was wondering if you can take on f5 with the bishop instead of the rook? And then if he plays re8 again you go Bxd7 Rxd7 Rxf6 and Qg4. If Bxd7 Nxd7 either Rxf7 or Qh5 should work (but I did not calculate that :)) General idea is to eliminate the defending Knight on f6 and then get an attack going.

[@Filemonefly9]

The endgame sequences were already 470m under the surface of the water for Jeffrey.

[@makhnoboi1996]

Very good, this got me to pick up the colle

[@snes09]

Very impressive win danya

[@UheReasin]

Definitely not first. But will still run for president.

[@MaxenceFrenette]

Equal or Stronger Threat ? I think you meant danger levels here. Just kidding, great game and great video super insightful. Thanks for explaining it to us :)

[@madhavanr8055]

Goddamn this is some elite stuff

[@TheMarksT]

Very well played game!

[@Bai_Su_Zhen]

Best teacher.

[@worsethanjoerogan8061]

Damn Xiong's bishops were terrifying in this game

[@DragisaBoca]

Nobody explaines like Danya...

[@pugsondrugs6556]

I love you Danya!

[@JazzCabbagE7]

I just learned that Danya is a warriors fan like me. Ive been a fan since 2011. I like him EVEN MORE now, didnt think that was possible lol

[@rnedisc]

When you played b4, I hope the brick didn't hurt too bad.

[@Temax6]

Noooooo Daniel your PIPI!!!!

[@vkaiiims]

Hello Daniel. I'm a huge fan of yours and have made tremendous rating gains with the help of your speedrun videos. I'm already spoiled with the awesome content you're putting out there but there is one specific request i have for you. There is a huge lacuna in my game as black against d4. I request you ,if you can find the time, to make a detailed video explaining line/lines black can use against Queens gambit and london to achieve a sharp position. Thank you

[@karlparker5876]

the king's indian is very sharp against 1. d4. it's also featured in his early speedrun videos a lot

[@vkaiiims]

@@karlparker5876 You're right. And i have tried playing KID against d4. But unfortunately i almost always lose my games when either my opponent trades the bishop with a queen and bishop battery, or when they play the alekhine variation. I don't think KID is meant for me.

[@karlparker5876]

@@vkaiiims yea that stuff is really tricky. I would recommend looking at opening databases (the lichess one is great) and see what other people do against that stuff and what works. Other sharp openings against d4 would probably be benoni, Albin counter gambit, and the Budapest defense, but I don't play any of them. Benoni is supposedly very difficult to play and Budapest is dubious. Albin is supposedly quite fun but I haven't tied it.

[@pk-fi1ok]

Lichess recently added nice commentary with their opening book. I just realized. Go there, turn on the Opening explorer, press "f" to flip the board and make 1. d4 for the white. And enjoy!

[@frederickschulze8014]

It's crazy how complex these positions are in GM-level games. At 1500, you'd be lucky to get a position half as complex before someone makes the inaccuracy that collapses the position.

[@thetransferaccount4586]

nice game

[@TheWaxlemon]

instead of bf6 at 27:41, could jeffrey have played f3 to disconnect the rook and the bishop?

[@stvia]

23:22 why not take with the rook on the 8th rank so that you still can play Bc4 pinning the rook and winning the exchange? (the backrank check is not dangerous because Rf8 will be well supported and doesn't change anything about the pin)

[@rustanji6723]

Great

[@ruizheteh7881]

At 23:18 how about taking with the 1 rook and playing Bc4 next?

[@gianidicoabdillah175]

lifting Rook1 relinquishes the bank rank, black R1 check either pins the bishop or trades rooks

[@kashyapvyas3412]

Very very hard sirg

[@joshua17111]

I play the semi slav as black and this colle system looks similar

[@vorador4365]

How is it a ladder mate if he can block with his rook, I didnt get it

[@stonedsoul3469]

chess is great but please turn off the lamp in the background.

[@Ushariat]

Cool game😎

[@shaneta4557]

I know you are trying to go on a new path, but if you want to do an opening series as filler, no one would hate that!

[@DaBigBrozer]

Isn't that closer to a nimzo Larsen?

[@abdelrahmantaha7443]

Damn girl!

[@fernandalsantos74]

I love danya❤❤❤

[@kerrdogg8500]

16:57 I swear I thought I heard you say Jeffery Epstein there and I was like "wait what the fuck" lmao But fr fucking amazing match man, thanks for going over it, very insightful stuff.

[@Liwet.]

That light is insanely annoying.

[@windy1439]

mhm yes, foot ball. foot, uh, ball. sport

[@mislavivkovic9996]

I dont understend why Jefrry didnt play g5

[@fujiapple9675]

28:35 *literally*

[@selimessai4919]

Why should we even wonder how u did beat him, that's simple danya is better 👍 wish to see ur participation more in elite games.

[@SulixD]

Hi Danya ! Would you say this system is more legit than 1.b3 ? or less? I love fianchetto structures and I have been studying 1.b3, but it would be nice to add more legit openings to my repertoire.

[@Edge15555]

Wow

[@nuky_999]

Can you analyze the game when you lost to Magnus Carlsen

[@brunacinotti3804]

Is it okay to have a crush on Danya? Cause I do

[@LordMarr2]

"Thread the needle with 95% accuracy. He'll throw an interception once every hundred times" ??? 😂😂 Some NA math there

[@ECPolitics]

Referring to yourself in the third person huh? In a Russian accent you'll get away with it. :P

[@jimboslice4961]

I've got no idea who Jeffrey is. Maybe give more backstory for your new viewers.

[@mouwersor]

Jesus this is way too complex. I appreciate the vid but I could never use these ideas

[@BroEdymaniax]

*Jeffrey Xiong disliked your video*

[@SupremeGuru8]

If you study as much as magnus, you will completely destroy him when your time comes. You’re one of the most naturally talented players I’ve ever watched play. You show capability computers show.
