If anyone is wondering why the clock gets more time at 10:58, Danya mouseslipped and gave away his queen. His opponent was nice enough to start another game from the same position. Props to him and the editor for making this look seamless!

[@arightscepter]

In the early 80's I was a pretty serious club and tournament player as a 1500 C class. Family/Dad life became the replacement and disqualified that lifestyle. I studied books and magazines with no idea how to get good. One time I drew a blitz game with a master by having memorized a great magazine content QGA game. Might have even been the Oregon Chess Federation's magazine? But by once I mean once. All that hopeful work for once. This video, although I still have a half hour left to go, is by far the best coaching I've ever had. Great young man with wonderful communication skills, and a superb teacher. Big fan.

That edit to cut out the mouse slip was clean. Didn't even catch it until you thanked the opponent for allowing a replay of the game.

[@cmmmmmmmw]

I was wondering what happened with the clocks

[@matteopriotto5131]

Yeah, same. The fun thing is that I thought "you gotta be very brave to draw an arrow that 'hangs' your queen so casually". Did that actually happen?

[@pabis6817]

I think I’ve had maybe 1-2 teachers in my life that display such a vast repertoire of sincere pedagogy that at first glance, could be mistaken for salesmanship or flattery…. but the way you are able to give intermittent quizzes that both explain the concepts, test the concepts critically, while being fun and entertaining - it’s extremely impressive! I don’t know who taught you these methods, if some of them come naturally? But it’s certainly a gift for us! Thank you and your Jedi elders for teaching in such an inspired way!

[@EMFObserver]

Nice comment. I imagine his methods come from a lifetime of playing a game that he is passionate about. The way he is describing moves is how Grandmasters think in a fraction of the time it takes to explain them, but his love for the game and passion to pass on his knowledge is how he teaches so effectively.

[@syauqiachmad]

the_chessologist will eternally be proud of how his game against GM will be remembered for eternity on KZbin as a lesson for everyone else props to you for letting this valuable lesson exist... you already a legend sir.

I started playing chess in a club and had my first official game yesterday. Thanks to your videos I was able to navigate an opening I’ve never really played against and eventually won the game. Just thinking „think like Danya“ helped me a lot. Thanks again, I really appreciate your work!

[@llllKyonllll]

It's funny how that works. I often find myself talking like Danya in my head while playing so that I can follow his rules and advice.

[@ExitDoesntExist]

Absolutely love Danya’s speed runs. Not only do you get insight into how he selects moves in real-time during the match, he always goes the extra mile to share post-match analysis, sidelines, and historical context. Great content, thank you!

[@jkham131]

This is the type of channel I have been looking for where every move is intelligently explained. Thank you, Sir.

[@aravindsfirst]

I have been a subscriber since Covid first started. After hearing you say hundreds of times "Biting on granite", it was such a pleasure to hear for the first time "Bxc3 breaking the granite".

[@ionutvlad3990]

Best format for me to learn how chess GMs think like and how to adopt the same way of looking at a position. It's a 15 min rapid game, so quick, but slower than blitz where the teacher cannot simply go into detail on every move. The explanations are really great and clear. Thanks Daniel! Keep it going pls...

[@TrueBlueAndrew]

I’ve been playing the London for a while now, but weirdly just heard about the Jobava from GMCanty the other day and now I love it. Very fun.

You're an incredible instructor! I'm criminally invested

[@stephenl7048]

45:15 ...Qe5+ does not, as stated, force g3. White can play f4 instead, when the e.p. capture with check fails as the BQ can be captured by the WQ. Granted, after f4 white still has a crummy position, but not worse than after g3.

[@tdadic84]

After lurking for a long while I finally subscribed. Because you asked so nicely….thanks for the consistent top tier content

[@dannystoll84]

Does anyone else hear audio glitches periodically, e.g. at 1:34:18? It might be my headphones acting up, but I wanted to make sure it's not Danya's mic. In any case, this was an absolutely amazing game and analysis, probably my favorite speedrun video yet!

[@parth1998able]

at 18:48, it can be argued that Qa5 would benefit black by baiting c4, as white tries to exploit the x-ray from the bishop. The queen could easily retreat back to c7, and as opposed to d6. The end result would be a safer queen behind the knight and the black bishop on g7 is no longer biting on granite.

[@sporegazm]

By far the king of teaching chess. I have followed many creators for a long time and there is something extremely special about how daniel explains himself and complex ideas. I would nearly give an arm for some private coaching lol

[@frozenbroccolii4933]

Danya at it again with his phenomenal content. The least I can do is comment and give him engagement.

[@RG001100]

Consider the difference between "type I and type II error" vs "false positive and false negative". Discussion (and maybe recall?) is much harder when just labeling kinds with numbers. Whereas, say, 'collinear move' does need to be explained, it's easy to recall once it has been explained. Perhaps "Physical prophylaxis" vs "Effective Prophylaxis" (physically prevent the threat, vs prevent the effect?) would be easier to recall.

[@7pilks7]

"something a little more spicy" "gives us a little more to chew on" "this move has a little more meat on the bone" "biting on granite" "let's spice things up a bit" "this is a very tender square" Can someone please get this man a bucket of KFC

47:51, I think black is still winning after bishop e6 sacing so the pawn can promote, and if the bishop moves away we win another pawn on a2.

[@shivdmanwii]

I think the editor did too good of a job splicing the games together. At some point I was very confused when I looked and saw that the opponent had a win on Danya before and assumed. It also made the part about 15:20 seem to come out of nowhere menitoning the mouse slip. I thought it was about a previous game in the night not related to the speedrun. Personally I would've preferred if the first game was shown up to the mouse slip and maybe Danya asking for a replay then cutting to the position after it came back up to be less confusing as well as give us a little breathing room for laughter in a very precise game.

[@neilquinn]

No one is even close to Daniel when it comes to explaining the thought process so quickly and clearly. I'd love to have him as a teacher someday.

[@ChessJourneyman]

Akobian knows more and is able to share knowledge in all aspects of chess. Danya is only good in his attacking chess style and knows the theory for such play but every time he plays the London or any positional opening, he gets outplayed (check the bullet championship where he got crushed every time he tried the London whereas his buddy Bortnyk showcased a much better understanding of that opening and got better positions out of the opening than Danya). I used to think Danya was the best chess teacher as well, but then you realize he is a tactical beast but hates dry positions and it shows in his lack of interest and understanding of them (hence he doesn't even try to play the standard London but instead the Jobava version and hopes to get some tactical shot).
